important announcement + sketches

Added 2021-06-12 23:55:47 +0000 UTC

Hello! I just sent out May rewards, and it will be the last batch for a while.

As some of you know, I've been struggling a lot in the past few years with mental health and chronic pain, resulting in me being effectively disabled. I kept bargaining with myself as to what to drop and what to keep, and I decided finally to put a pause on Patreon, along with my personal storefront, in order to better focus on my healing.

What does this mean for you?
It just means I won't be charging anyone until I decide to resume services. The Discord will continue to run as is, and I'll continue to post art there. I will run another announcement before I resume payment cycles, so nobody is caught unawares and unprepared.

If you have an annual pledge, I will be sending you the remaining months' worth of past rewards to make sure that you're not owed anything in the meantime.

Whenever I do decide to come back, I might have my Ko-Fi set up. They are soon rolling in Discord integration and Tier rewards just like Patreon so the jump will be simpler now. I'm kinda waiting for their UI to be more efficient, like... with tags and photosets! I'm actually a "ko-fi ambassador" now so I'm kept in the loop of the development and feedback, which kinda happened unexpectedly LOL. I'll let everyone in the loop when I decide to purge this blog in lieu of Ko-Fi.

I also just want to say thank you all from the bottom of my heart for choosing to support me either way. Please feel free to stay free of charge. Like I said, I'll still be here being active, I just need to let go of some obligations because I'm ill-equipped to handle them for the time being.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Sincerely,

- Juby
