Pausing my Patreon for the moment!

Hi, there, my friends!

As you’ve noticed, I have not been posting. I am so, so sorry.

Every time I think I’ve kicked my PTSD problems, they seem to come roaring back, sometimes worse than before. I hate these types of journals, so I’ll just leave it at “I am getting my ass kicked by symptoms of a thing that turns to be barely understood by medical science.”

It’s obvious that this has curtailed my ability to creatively make on art. Uh oh! That’s BAD, because this is my ONLY income! That means three things.

First, I’m gonna pause my Patreon for now until I can once and for all deal with this. I expect this to take two or three months, tops.

Second, I am going to figure this out. I love art too much to let something like severe PTSD get in my way, so I’ve been working like crazy on a couple alternatives that have already proved extremely successful. I’m gonna go all in on character sculpting, rigging, and animating in 3D. For some strange reason, I can maintain focus extremely well in 3D programs. I’ll have updates on that soon, but I’m gonna see if I can build animated and poseable models for VR and video games. Once I can do this, I can use these models as a kind of art “crutch” to help me finally realize the art I wish to create. My style is fitting like a GLOVE in a 3D form, and I’ll share more with you soon. I’m weeks away from mastering the workflow, and I’ve already built the bases for 50 puppets. Check out the attachment for a peek into what I'm working on like a mad man.

Finally, All people that have been my patrons for a long time will get free art. I must finish a slate of other work first, along with my monthly adopts, but I’m going to be carving out time to do something personal for all of you. You have all helped me so much, and I feel terrible that I’m not showing anything for it. If you’ve been my patron for a long time and would like to hop on that list, please don’t hesitate in messaging me.

I feel terrible. I never thought I would be “one of those artists,” but between a combination of terrible mental problems and a string of terrible luck, here I am! Siiigh!

I am so sorry. Thank you for your help so far. I assure you it has helped me in more ways than I can tell. I’ll be back with MUCH more work, and a stream lined series of tiers (along with early access to adopts). Please standby! Gonna reboot and be back soon! God knows, I’m gonna give this my best!

PS Would you like to STILL get work that I’m working on? I expect to have some very soon. I have a hard time with communication, but I really don’t mind talking to people or sharing work. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me, probably through FA, and I’ll keep you updated with what I’m working on, for free.
