The future of this Patreon account (important)

Edit: I'm going to do the changes this sunday.

Hey guys. I hope you're doing well. I want to talk about some things that are really important, because I dont want them to come out of the blue with peeps saying "I didnt know about it!". 

It's related to the future of this Patreon account and how I've been managing it. 

First and foremost, I've been heavy working for completing the stuff I owe, including a piece I had forgotten and that I got reminded via message. I am going to deliver everything, even if it still takes some time. At the same time I started my art study and other things, including the fact I'm working in the art for a videogame. 

That means that keeping Patreon exactly as its working right now became unsustainable. Lemme explain why. 

One of the reasons why I owe so much stuff is because most of the stuff I draw are comics, and these take a big toll in time, over all the ones in full color. Owing stuff and passing it to the next month goes precisely against what Patreon should be (and how I should do it). 

Originally, when I opened this Patreon account, I was faster with my comics (they had less detail back then) and in addition I didnt expect this account to grow that much. But right now I reached a point that I took 2 freakin months and even yet I havent been able to complete everything. 

This means that, while Patron will continue going, I need to change things. And I am indeed planning some huge changes. I'd love to read your own opinion about them.


- Time to be able to study art, that is my main goal now
- Time to be able to draw my own art and comics. I have a ton of ideas and comics that I want to draw, but as for right now, I can't do them.
- Preparation for a future without having to change prices again for a loooong time. 

Most things reduce to time and the need to draw comics and stories that I want to make since long ago but that due to time constrains and the sheer volume of pending work I couldn't.

What do you think of this? I am aware its a very bold idea and that could cause a massive drop in support amounts, but I think I should do it now that I can and not later when I'm covered in work again and without the chance to have some money saved.

Feel free to tell me your comments.

Do whatever works for you! Then, I don't contribute out or expectation of something in return.

Keep up your good work, and find the process that works best for you. Even if it's not the best for your consumers, take care of yourself first.

This certainly sounds like a really good step in the right direction. Seeing all of this work pile up on you isn't the most fun... Even with two months of break as well. Slimming the rewards will help the most I imagine, especially the color comics, considering they take over a 6 hour stream to do. 'w'; (Maybe even shortening the comics could help if they're still around, mini-comics instead~) I really do like the idea of hearing your thoughts on your own pictures though, it's really entertaining! Additionally, I have to admit, the idea of seeing/hearing about bad/alt ends is reeeeally fun~
