I’m back, here’s what’s been happening
Added 2021-01-27 01:22:21 +0000 UTCHello All,
I wanted to reach out and talk with you on what's been going on lately. I know it's been pretty silent here, but I'll explain what's been happening over the past few months in this post.
When I started this patreon, I went in knowing that I wouldn't want to do NSFW art the entire time. As time went on, and as my popularity grew in ways that I didn't expect, the thought that my future might be tied to my NSFW art began to grow in ways that weighed on my mental health more than I could have ever expected. I began to have severe depressive episodes, and the only reason that I was able to overcome those episodes was with the help of medication and the encouragement of my friends. Don't get me wrong, I fully enjoyed working on the art that I produced - however, the further I go, the more I realize that I don't want my NSFW art to stick with me in ways I never intended it to. My goal is to work in a professional environment, and I fear that one day my NSFW art will keep me from achieving that goal.
To help make up for my downtime, I'll be pausing payments for the next month (payment for February 1st, which charges for January) and I will be refunding people that want to request one for the month of December. I actively encourage anyone that wants the refund to fill out this form:
https://forms.gle/NU4MNzJ8rCB9N9pNA
I promise I won't be offended, I appreciate the support you've given me so far, and will continue to appreciate the support you've already given me. I'm sorry we have to give you this form, but there's no way to do a mass refund with Patreon. We'll go through one-by-one to make sure that each and every one of these requests are handled. If you don't get a refund by 2/6, please reach out to @CubicFoxxx on twitter, or @foxfoxfoxxx on telegram for the status of your refund.
Now for a status update on my Regular Show animation (yes, I'm still going to finish this). This week, I'll be uploading a few sketches from the animation for patrons of all tiers. I'm getting into a steady schedule with the help of my roommates. We've got more goals set so I plan to finish this animation in a timely fashion. I hope you'll enjoy what will likely be my final frontier into the land of Rule 34.
As for my future art plans, I'll be making a new name to put my art under. I'm not sure if I'll be sharing the new name yet, but I do want to take my supporters with me who want to continue to support my SFW animations. More on that in the future, but right now I need to focus on finishing this Regular Show piece.
I again want to apologize for being radio silent. I'm sorry to those that have shown concern and to those that were worried about me. I'm feeling better though, and will continue to work hard on getting this animation in your hands!

Your quiet boy. Mental and emotional health comes first. It's okay if you no longer want to post NSFW content. What's more, your animations are the best. I even hope that one day you will make an animated series. So I am satisfied and will continue to support you.
2021-01-31 07:57:29 +0000 UTCTaga. I know your busy and you might not see this for a while. But regarding your desire to want to do SFW stuff. You should ❤️ You’re such a talented artist. I haven’t been too active myself but I believe and support you. It’s why I’ve kept my patreon. I will continue to support you no matter which direction you decide to take. I’ve tried my hand at art and it’s just not in the cards for me. So I like to support those I believe in. And you have great talent Taga. **Bottom line; TL;DR Do what makes you happy and I will continue to support you no matter what <3**

2021-01-28 08:45:31 +0000 UTCHope you decide to keep up the NSFW work but where you go next is up to you.

2021-01-28 05:23:00 +0000 UTCGlad to hear you're doing better! While I won't be following your SFW endeavors, I wouldn't dream of asking for a refund of any sort, as the work you've put in you've still put in. I'm perfectly happy to have paid and will keep paying until your regular show anim is done, and want you to know that - even as someone who'll be departing - It has nothing to do with the quality of your work, which is top-notch. It's just the standard furry dilemma of there being so many sources of SFW 'funny animal' art and when it comes to a limited interest like top-quality porn, those Patreon (and other) dollars have to go to the limited sources that indulge that. Just, please be aware that we still (at least speaking for myself) am much more interested in your mental health and professional development, and if some of us are lost along the way, please try not to take it personally, you're great and deserve happiness and good things!

2021-01-27 05:24:35 +0000 UTCNice to hear you're okay! It was worrisome to not have any update for so long, but glad that you're sticking around, regardless of your work being NSFW or not!

2021-01-27 05:06:11 +0000 UTCwill definitely continue supporting regardless of what you decide to do in the future as long as you continue to put out amazing work I'm still with you.

2021-01-27 02:37:17 +0000 UTCI'll always be a fan of your work Taga. And as a fellow artist I can relate. Whatever path you choose, we all support it. Just let us know what name to look for as far as a name goes, alright bud *gives you a hug*.

2021-01-27 02:05:05 +0000 UTC💜 Taga, I can’t speak for everyone, but I know it’s true for me and likely many others. We support you because your work is awesome! Whether that’s NSFW or SFW we’ll be there for you. Just make sure you drop that new name somewhere, playing “Is this Taga” does not sound like a fun game 😅.

2021-01-27 01:34:00 +0000 UTCI know it probably won't mean much coming from some random 5 dollar patron, but thank you. I only really found you last year while browsing twitter and FA, and I'm sorry to see you go so soon after finding you, but if there's one thing I've learned, it's that you should never feel bad for making a change to your life, if it's right for you, those who truly support you will continue to do so, and those who don't, never really mattered; whether they were just here for the lewds or otherwise, I'm sure you'll get some angry people, and a fair few people asking for their money back, but, out of principle and as a way of thanking you for all the hard work you've done, both that we've seen and otherwise, I'm not going to. I'm going to stick around until that animation is done at the very least :) Thank you Taga :)

2021-01-27 01:31:14 +0000 UTCSucks for selfish reasons and I wish you could just do two pages for ALL the people (especially since you're not tied to a name) but hey its your life and I wish you well! :]
Bravo
2021-01-27 01:31:10 +0000 UTCI’ll like to take the time to say this. You’re awesome! Keep doing what makes you happy! You have a lot of talent. I (and many others) are excited to see where your career take you!
