IMPORTANT UPDATE AND ANNOUNCEMENT - JAN 2023

Hello devils and divas

As the new year dawns upon us I am once again grateful to all of you for your continued support. I truly appreciate you all from the bottom of my heart. Seeing your feedback is what motivates me to update every month. You make this venture worth the effort and hard work that goes with it.

Last year has been one fraught with challenges and personal battles. I know sometimes it feels like updates are slow and sparse, but I have yet to miss a deadline here. There were a few months where I really thought I was not going to be able to update. This is something I am genuinely proud of, but it has come with a price. 

I have always been upfront about my erotic art being a personal venture of my own sexual exploration. When I found that people resonated with this side of my work, I became motivated to start a patreon and make this a more viable venture that I can benefit from not only spiritually, emotionally and sexually, but monetarily.

Last year however, I realized this hobby of mine has become a more demanding commitment. In my efforts to create content that people deem worthy of paying for, I have altered the course of my personal journey, and have started creating work to please other people first, instead of myself.

While there is nothing inherently wrong with wanting to please others, the emotional core and heart of my work lies in my desire to express something personal and meaningful to me. When that is slowly becoming lost, people can tell. My followers can tell. I think you can all tell. The quality, and quantity of the work starts to erode. 

I am afraid that because of all this, a hard truth has become clear to me: I don't think I can keep this up much longer.

It is with great sadness that I announce I am going to quit Patreon effective May 2023. 

It was a difficult decision to make, but the amount of time, effort and health required to maintain updates is becoming a commitment I can no longer fulfill. My inability to make timely updates is making me bleed patrons. I may have never missed an update, but most people do not have the patience to wait once a month for a couple of drawings, if that. I completely understand that, and hold no one at fault for it. However, this also means I am giving up my well being to fulfill a commitment that is no longer viable.

So what happens next? Moving forward, Extras Tier and WIP updates will continue until May. I also want to make sure people have time to collect whatever artwork they feel most attached to here. Over the next few months I will be posting archived work for easy access. This will be in the form of zipped folders. If you have any personal requests you can message me directly, I will try to be as active as I can responding to queries. 

I sincerely apologize for the trouble this may cause. My constant struggle with my erotic art is that it does not have a proper home since Tumblr banned nsfw. Twitter is awful for archiving work, and my content does not really do well there. Still, whatever happens, I will do my best to find a way to keep the artwork in circulation as time goes. I will still be semi-active on twitter, and hopefully will have a new hub I can direct people to soon after I leave here.

I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart, without your support a lot of this art that I created would not be possible. I would argue that in a way, WE created this art together, and I will treasure that and my time here forever as an important step in my artistic journey.

I love you all, thank you again for making this fun. I really meant it when I said your comments and messages are what motivate me to keep going here, even when it feels like I should give up.

Thank you. I wish there was a nicer place to archive it all for posterity.

I appreciate that. And yes, I set a deadline each month so there can be at least one update per tier. I don't want to just take the money and run.

Block Devil

You're welcome. I really hope you can enjoy all the work for years to come.
