What's been going on some problems
Added 2017-09-01 02:31:00 +0000 UTCHello everyone! I know i haven't been really active as much on Patreon lately and I want to apologize for it. Recently I've been trying to get commissions done and I'm still nowhere near done. But so as long as I make progress I should be done within the year...hopefully. Other than commissions taking my time up, I believe I have some sort of depression, now I'm saying you shouldn't feel bad or anything, but I feel it's someting people should know. Lately it's caused me to have lack of sleep, motivation, and energy to work on anything. My brain is a bit poop right now, but within time I believe I will get out of this depression.
So on to some really bad news. I found out someone was using stolen credit cards to pledge to my Patreon. This really put me in a bad spot, because they caused my Patreon account balance to go into the negative. At first I thought this individual was wanting a refund, but after talking with Patreon staff, I found out that this person was a fraud and used stolen cards. This sucks really bad, because Patreon had to refund to those card holders. They said they shut down the user, but who knows. All I know was that I was not notified that this person was a fraud and was kept in the dark. And the amount they refunded was all added up from the time this person first pledged, and it's about half of what I make here. HALF OF MY EARNINGS ARE GONE because of some scumbag. And from what I read in the emails between Patreon staff and I, I will most likely not be compensated for the loss. I believe by the time September rolls up the balance will be gone, but at the cost of your support, and that really blows. Half of your support is gone because of some asswipe couldn't afford to pledge. I'm really sorry everyone, but I do hope things go well for next month.
If you haven't yet, I'd suggest everyone join my Patreon's discord group. There you can get updates and have and active convo with me and other patrons. I'll make a post for the discord link after this post.
Thanks everyone for the support and I hope to provide more content in the following months.

Sorry to hear, how much did that person pledge for and for how long?
