October rewards have just been sent out! Please check your PMs ^^ There were a lot of declined pledges this time so please message me if your payment goes through later - I'll send you a link! :)

And, like I said in the title, I've got some questions to you since my Patreon income has decreased for more than a 1/3 from September even though I have been working for 10-12 hours per day with no weekends. It makes me panic because I've got a few people depending on me... We have to be very economical, but I guess that a lot of people have such problems now: exit surveys mostly told me that people's "financial situation has changed" D:


But. Some people also marked that they "didn't receive the rewards mentioned in the tiers" or "the links were broken". But I'm sure that I always give my patrons at least everything what I promised or even more and I always ask to message me if there are any issues with the rewards! D: Did you ever had such a problem?... Some people also pointed that I "wasn't as active as they expected". Sadly I cannot work more than I already do physically, but maybe you'd like to see sketches and other wips?.. 

Maybe I should also try doing more than just illustrations/comics? (I mean to replace some of the current content with something else). Would you be interested in After Effects animations (animated illustrations) or should we maybe even start a simple visual novel project? Or do you have other ideas of what you'd like to see here?..

I also discovered how rapidly my "exclusive" artwork is leaked to the Internets :/ I guess I should develop some art protection so my patrons don't feel that they're paying for something that's not really exclusive!

And a poll! What would you like to see here? (multiple choices available) Also please leave a comment if you want me to improve my art or my Patreon page somehow :)

Thanks for letting us know. Honestly, I don't see why people would claim that you're too inactive, as that's patently untrue. With regards to the "links being broken" part, I can only imagine that they missed the time window to retreive the rewards. They are time limited if I recall correctly? Can't really fault you there, either, as leaving them online indefinitely just invites abuse, as I'm sad you've had to discover. From my end, I can only say positive things about my patronage. You've done your best to hold to your schedule under what I can only describe as severely difficult circumstances, and the quality of your work has been stellar throughout the board. For these reasons, I will definitely continue supporting you, keeping my fingers crossed that things will take a turn for the better for you before long. To add at least one suggestion: I've seen others post invites to livestreams of them working on a current project. Could be interesting, but I'm unsure how much effort that would be to set up.

I think posting progress pictures while people are waiting for let's say the new monthly pinup just to give them a taste would be cool
