Important announcement...
Added 2026-01-02 00:11:13 +0000 UTC
I thought about this for a long time. I struggled and lost. Hiding my feelings not to tell anyone.….but I made a decision, I have to tell you.
.
From now on, Escapefromexpansion’s patreon will not focus on expansion anymore.
.
As you may notice, I post expansion arts less and less every month. And I know it’s hard to accept. But expansion is not my main interest anymore.
.
For many years, I drew many expansions. I love expansion arts. But you see, expansion arts are everywhere now…new artists in the expansion field, AI expansion arts flood the internet. Most of them I consider a better quality than my arts. Because of that, I feel down and I realize that this kind of art is not as rare as it used to be.
Another reason is because I draw expansion proportions for too long…way too long. I lack knowledge of the true anatomy, as an artist, it’s not good for many reasons. So I don’t enjoy drawing like I used to. The more you know, the less you enjoy. You may imply that way.
.
it comes to the point that, I conclude myself as a not skilled artist. Expansion is not what I can do best and I don’t feel happy every time I draw.
So I want to enjoy drawing again and creating stuff again. I don't want to force myself to do what I feel wrong. I will not pretend I’m okay with my expansion arts anymore and I have to be honest with you.
I think my expertise is not “Expansion”. My expertise is “Storytelling” and "Improvement method”. I also love learning new things. I want to follow that path from now on.
.
So here's the change of this patreon.
I want to be better at telling stories. So I’ll focus on articles, comics, novels more than illustrates. Both Expansion and Non-expansion contents.
There will be no more vote poll. I may open the vote when I want but not as a routine.
I want to be escape from this struggle, I want to be better. I want to feel happiness again in life. So I will make tutorials to improve myself. I’ll share with you too everything I overcome.
Articles and Tutorials about Arts, Science, Psychology and more will be posted often. May in the form of a doodle…just like this one.
There will be no strict routine on how I post things. I’ll post everything as random. I still can’t handle the pressure.
This decision will not affect the commission. I can do expansion commission like the same.
.
In short, this patreon is not for “an expansion” anymore. But it will be more like a journey of my life from now on, what I like, what I will do, what I am interested in…
well…expansion is still be part of it but not all.
I have so many things I want to share…half of them are not expansion related. So be sure to think about it before you continue to support me.
.
Thank you for your understanding and thank you for being with me all along.

2026-01-03 00:35:20 +0000 UTCDecision fully supported. Tbh, I think you could show INFINITELY more talent and skill by branching into other art topics, and even then I think you're still super skilled! It's gonna be total whiplash to see you NOT constantly drawing expansion art though, that's for sure.
