Thank you for Nov + Pausing Billing for Dec
Added 2024-11-30 12:45:01 +0000 UTCI gotta say I think this is the cutest endhawks artwork I've done, like the 'cute festival date' vibes are just //chefs kiss// so good.
Thank you all for November 2024! You have no idea how appreciative I was of your patience as I worked through getting the patreon gifts packed and shipped out. I had known it was going to take me a fair bit to get through but it was so much more than I expected and it ate into my drawing time more than expected so I am so grateful for everyone being so understanding.
It's not surprising that the amount of art this month was less due to doing the patreon gift merch, but I've still been kind of battling a bit in regards to the art funk I was in during October. I wouldn't say I'm burnt out, but I definitely dug myself into a hole of stressing that I have to "draw as much as I can, they are paying hard earned money you gotta give them as much as you can" and...I've been keeping this pace going for two years without having taken any proper break, and even when I was working a full-time job or I would pause billing I was still attempting to throw as much art here as I could.
So, for the month of December, patreon billing will be paused. From Nov 30th (today) - December 30th I will be taking a break from patreon; a proper one.
I'll only be posting twice, once for Christmas and once with the Thank you for December 2024/Happy New Year 2025 as those are special days that I wanna still celebrate with you all.
I know in the past I've paused billing for a "break" and continued to draw and post during December, but I think this year it is in my best interest if I do take a proper break. As much as my mind wants to guilt trip me, or tell me that everyone will leave cause of lack of art, I need to have a break, to rest, recharge, and if I do art, great I'll share it in January 2025, if I don't, at least I gave my body and mind the time and choice to rest, and if anything, some time to attempt to repair my relationship with art, because things have been...rough with it since October and I just need to look after the little art flame I have right now.
I'm so sorry for all my rambles!
I'll never be able to express how thankful I am to have the support I get, I'll never stop saying how thankful I am, from every like, to every comment, my art and my experiences have improved and gotten better because I know each and everyone of you is here cheering my art and me on.
Thank you, for giving me a chance and for subscribing for November.
Take care of yourselves, your families and your health, and I'll see you all on December 25th for a Christmas/holidays post ❤️🔥
Comments
I'm sorry it took me awhile to reply, when I first read this comment I got very emotional (and cried a little) cause I didn't expect you to take the time to tell me your thoughts and you were so kind 🥹 I remember when I joined the Endhawks community I thought I had missed out as well, but it turns out, no matter what time passes, artists never forget they love Endhawks xD And I am one of them, I will keep drawing Endhawks here until the flame goes to sleep (to be then set ablaze years later haha) I'm glad though that you are enjoying your time here and that you've found a place to find what you love ❤️ I thank my patrons because I know money is very tight for many, money is very important even if we don't like to say it is, so I want to always give everyone the best I can and the most I can so that you all feel appreciated but also know that your money is well spent. oh my every time I read the last part of your message I end up in tears, thank you for such lovely words of encouragement, and for loving my art and my drawings of Endhawks, it truly means a lot since I had been struggling a lot lately with it 🫂 I am trying my best to rest, I have also been trying to gather some ideas for art as well in between, so we shall see what I come up with if I end up drawing this month. Thank you again for your comment and your English was very, very good! Thank you ❤️🥹🫶 p.s. I still have some leftover merch from previous times I've sent patreon gift merch to everyone, so if you are still on my patreon when we do the next round of merch I'll add in some of these extras for you!

2024-12-04 23:57:41 +0000 UTCOh! I don't know why I never commented here. Guess I hadn't have the time to switch my mind into English since my first language is Spanish and sometimes is hard to put into words what's is on my mind. Firstly, I love your art, I was so suprised when I met you on X, that I couldn't help but join your patreon and I'm so glad I did it on time. Sadly, because I'm new to this fandom I missed a lot of pictures and artists, and zines and merchandising of Endeavor and Hawks, but still seeing your patreon is like a beautiful EndHawks palace full of wonderful treasure which are your drawings! I love all the kinks you have drawn. Being my favorite ovipossition and my top one Hawks in female lingerie. But I just love the way in which your portray them. They mean so much for me. Since my love for them have made my life happier. I trully hope you can rest and take your time <3 On the other hand, you thank us for supporting you. But we are the ones who thank you for the art you give us, personally I don't know how to draw, I never learnt. So I'm unable to draw a single thing. So when I see your drawings I can feel the effort and love you put. Maybe you think that they aren't good enough or not that great. But the true is that they are amazing. There are many many many many artists. But I particullary love how you draw my new loves Endeavor and Hawks <3 and that won't change. I trully wish you the best, please rest a lot, and feel better, and never forget that you have people who will always have in their hearts a big space of love for your art and my heart is full of that. Thank you very much for all these years of EndeHawks and hope your new year comes with new ideas, energy and power for you and all the things you wish come true! (Sorry for my english) and see youuuuu soon!

2024-12-01 00:45:18 +0000 UTCThank you, I'm going to do my best to recharge the battery and even think about what comes next (the next batch of patreon gift merch needs to be made!) and if art stuff happens it happens, if it doesn't then I'll take it as needing a rest (no matter how much my silly brain wants to guilt trip me over this break)
