roachpatrol said: aw, what happened?

Patreon turned out to be too stressful for me. I wasn’t consistent with the amount of artwork I made each month and I kept worrying that I wasn’t producing enough, as a result I got almost obsessively worried that I should somehow make it up to my patrons by trying harder in the next month or something. In the end, I realized that this constant worrying was making me miserable and exhausted, so I decided to shut down patreon. I guess it was for the best because in November-December I had serious problems with health, had to stay in the hospital, and by the end of the year I’ve barely made any art at all :/

It’s too late to go back to school to become a doctor or whatever else is considered a profitable profession nowadays ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Besides patreon is just one of the many options…
However, I might try to open it again later this year, maybe I should’ve just switched to “per creation” schedule.
