Update on some things, and the ramblings of a madman
Added 2022-10-20 09:00:00 +0000 UTCHey, It's been a month and a half since I started Fanbox. I'm extremely glad for all the support I received so far and hope, I can someday be calling this "my job".
I think it's time to open up a bit and talk about my reasons for this and about my goals.
If you're not interested, you don't have to read, it will get cheesy. Maybe I'm writing this because, while I'm an Artist, I'm also a writer and to be quite honest, I don't get the chance lately to write that much.
Let's begin with one reason why I even resorted to set up FANBOX.
Of course I wanted to start this one day, but normally I'm pretty indecisive and will wait for years to make one small decision. The day (or more precisely, Night) was one day after my Dog died. I've had him for 15 years and he was pretty old when he died, but of all things he had to develop skin Cancer in his last months. I think he lived pretty happily but I always wished, that he could die a natural death. Instead, we had to have him put down.
I'm fairly sure, this was the moment something snapped for me. My Family always had been poor. We didn't even have the money to euthanize my dog and had to save up to finally be able to euthanize him after the tumor in his nose had grown quite big.
But in my mind, It shouldn't even have come this far. Maybe, with money, we could have prevented even that. I know, he was old, but with the right means, the cancer could have been neutralized before becoming that dangerous.
Well, sounds like the perfect tearjerker to bring people to throw money at me, right? That's exactly why I didn't start off with telling this story here. Because that wouldn't be fair. Platforms like these are for Art, not pity. I really don't want to be poor anymore, but instead of begging for money, I want to put in the work to be worthy of the support.
I myself are heavily disabled, and without revealing too much I can say, the things I can do, I will do with utmost vigor, but some things, most of them trivial to many, I can't do. I always knew, if I wanted to succeed, I had to succeed in my own way.
This Opportunity I have here, is my start. A late start, but it is what it is.
In the last two years I've lost so much, the loss of my Dog may just be the final straw to bring me here. But I've also gained some things. Maybe the first time in my life, instead of degrading, my self- confidence as an Artist-, no as a person is rising.
It's reassuring to see, that I'm being accepted as an Artist and it strenghtens my resolve even more. I want to keep drawing. There is just one direction for me, and it stops when I burn-out or succeed. But like I've said before, I don't want to reach my goals without doing anything. I will, in the Future, implement some more ways for monetization but I want to be fair.
To shed some light on my Goals and what I will be doing in the future.
Please keep in mind, that these Ideas are all work in progress an might not be implemented.
-I would want to also start with Patreon. Don't worry, this will just be done for accessibility reasons, if you're subscribed here, you don't need to subscribe there, content will be the same.
-On recommendation, I also want to honor my long time subscribers by dividing Posts here into Quarter-Packs. After the end of one quarter year, old content will become unavailable for new subscribers, but I'll be introducing a way to externally buy these "older" packs.
-If I feel comfortable enough with my schedule, I would like to post early peeks or finished drawings here up to 1-2 weaeks before publicly releasing them.
-If time and amount of demand exists, I would like to use my ability to write and "program" to incorporate Games and Books into this whole business.
-I also would like to, in the Future open a private Discord server for exchanging tips, tricks and advice or just for communication. Maybe even private streams?
There are a lot more ideas, but I think I'm stopping here, before this gets out of hand. Like described above, these are subject to change and I'm open to your advice in the comment section, if you've even read this far. If yes, please also include in your comment if a blog of this length is okay for you, because i tend to ramble a lot. Feels almost like writing a chapter of my story, "Delusion". (Well, I've checked, I'm only at 819 words so far, I can go for far longer than this, haha)
On another note, English is not my first language and I hope this isn't excruciating to read. And besides that, I'm completely unsure if the machine Translation I use for japanese is even effective or if I'm doing that for naught. Feedback on that would be appreciated.
But time to finish this, I really am grateful for this chance and fully understand that I'm the one to blame if I may happen to throw this chance away. I will write a textwall like this again in the future, but for now, thank you for reading!

Well, at least doubt breeds self reflection and strengthens the ability to consider things before taking action, so that's that, haha. But I'm thankful for your kind words and will most likely continue to write long entries when I feel like it!

2022-10-27 01:28:02 +0000 UTCI sympathize with your self doubting, but know your art brings a warm happiness, at least to me - keep up your best even when times may feel low! Also I'd say always feel free to write at length about whatever you want, this is your fan page after all. (and your english is top notch, no need to worry about that)

2022-10-26 23:22:20 +0000 UTCThanks, I always wonder if I'm doing things wrong, but maybe I'm doubting myself too much.
