11/21/21 Image Dump & Important Patreon Update
Added 2021-11-22 01:16:00 +0000 UTCHey guys, I've got a not great update to make.
This month my productivity has taken a big hit due to personal issues that has affected my ability to focus and work on a level of quality I'm comfortable with. I have also become deeply unsatisfied with the quality of my art itself, as I believe it's not up to par with the amount of time I invest in it. After a lot of evaluation I've concluded that the best course of action is to take a significant step back from the online space for the immediate future and focus on improving myself on both a mental and technical level.
That means I won't be streaming, and I will not be available on discord for those who conversate with me on that platform. I've yet to decide exactly how this will effect my rate of posting to FA/Twitter. I'm also suspending the sketch-tier for this patreon, and it likely will not return, but I do intend to finish up the current roster of requests, however it's likely none will be completed this month.
I'd like to clarify that I'm not abandoning art, or that I'll stop working on Mob, but I will heavily refocus my intent as I work on improving my technical proficiency and that will effect the nature of my output going forward.
I apologize for this. In light of this news, I understand anyone who wishes to unsubscribe. Just know that I genuinely do appreciate everyone's support so far.
But in the meantime, here's what was worked on for the month.

2021-11-22 20:39:45 +0000 UTCHonestly this seems like a really healthy and constructive response to Difficult Times! And the no-sketchtier decision is probably a very good idea; as fun as the results can be, sketches tend to REALLY build up and take a lotta time, despite being "just sketches." Definitely use this time to collect yourself and focus on whatever types of improvements you're hoping to make! I look forward to streaming with you again whenever you feel the time is right for you, but until then, best of luck to ya!

2021-11-22 04:51:16 +0000 UTCI'm really saddened by this news. Your personality is one of the things I love best about you, along with your creativity. You were easy to approach and fun to talk to. That being said, I also don't want you to feel burdened by us that it takes away from you wanting to work on projects you really want to do. Just know that I back you 100%. Just please don't suspend your patreon because even if you don't put out content you believe is worth the pledge, I still want to support you in your endeavors. Whatever you do after this, I wish you the best of luck!

2021-11-22 02:50:23 +0000 UTCI love how expressive your characters emotions are! You are a wonderful artist who has been an awesome creator to watch and evolve. I can't wait to see what incredible art is to come if you aren't satisfied with your art now. I wish you much love and luck!

2021-11-22 01:55:49 +0000 UTCTake all the the time you need, Shark. Self-care is always important, and it is very easy to get burnt out by our often frantic and unyielding world. I genuinely really really enjoy your work, and I'm still going to stay a subscriber.

2021-11-22 01:26:40 +0000 UTCIn this pressure cooker of a world we're in, I'm not surprised you need to take a pause. For what it's worth, I think you've improved a lot since I started following you, and I view your combination of art and storytelling as a personal benchmark. I'll keep up the sub for now, with the money being my way of showing I really believe in what you have to offer :)
Not Here
2021-11-22 01:25:47 +0000 UTCI think you've greatly improved since we started hanging out and I'll be sad to see you gone for however long you're going to take off, but if you gotta take a break we'll be here when you get back.
