Update/Pausing Patreon for October

Yes I did, no one got charged for October... the charge happens the start of the month, so you were just charged for november, and I can link you screenshots of my october profits as proof if you want I actually didnt mean to charge people this month either, but I thought the pause would continue until I chose to stop it... instead patreon just charged people instead so now theres nothing I can do, but I was planning on becoming active this month anyway so it should work out

I hate to be the downer here, but you've not paused anything. I was charged for September and just was charged for October.

Take your time and remember your health (metal, physical, emotional) comes first! I just re-subbed before even reading this but feel like I missed out on supporting you for most of this year since it's been quite the roller coaster, so hopefully I can make up for that! I've always loved your art style and your work, excited to see more when you are ready! Either way you have my continued support and love!

Honestly I had no idea you were taking a break. I would have stayed subbed even if you didn't give noticed but its nice to hear that you are ok. Health and a positive mindset is more important. See you soon.

I know you always do some pause/breaks/refill creativity juice, and use your backlogs in this times...and since you already said you have mostly post your backlog, i wasn't much "worry" about your absence atm ahah ^^ Honestly, i though you were busy doing Yokai events and Ishgard Restoration ranking lmao xP But anyway, good to know you're doing fine in the end (especially during this crazy world time). As always mate, take all the time you need for yourself and come back when you feel it. And tbh, for me, i wouldn't even mind if you didn't pause patreon ; i'm here to support YOU, even if you don't post art atm. You give us so much already, you deserved any support you can have. And also, on a personal level, with all the marvellous com' you did for me, i'm glad i can at least give you 5$/month now, you deserved much more ! Anyway, take care of you my dude ! :D

Im glad to hear, I always put extra effort into writing the descriptions here on patreon and its sort of a hidden park which I dont advertise since obviously most people come just for the art, so its always extra nice when people say they enjoy reading them, and I do like sharing my thoughts as well since there are usually things I want to clarify or explain Of course the pressure comes from the fact people are paying me for it, and I take that very seriously (which is why Ive decided to pause it for a month), especially in these times where so many people are losing their jobs and such, to think that people still think my art is special enough to pay a subscription for, is really something

Take whatever time you need. We'll be here when you get back ^^

Ah, was getting a bit worried because I hadn't seen something from you in a bit, but glad to hear you're actually alright. Take your time, I can certainly understand not having the steam for art, been feeling that in my own way for a while now, and there's already a bit *too* much chaos in the world right now to have to worry about that too.

As long as you're okay! Take all the time you need!

I got mad respect for your art, and part of my enjoyment of your work is reading your comments about the process and how much you enjoy creating a piece. If your productivity takes a nosedive from time to time, don't feel pressured. Best thing I could wish for anyone is good health and that they enjoy the work that they do. Taking a break to attend to yourself is part of the process too, for as long as you need it. I will always look forward to your next piece, but let it be on your own terms. Glad to hear you're Covid-free and staying safe! Like many have echoed already: we'll be here.

Pshhh~ No worries Sora~ Everybody needs a break! If this were a regular job, you'd be entitled to a vacation, so just think of it like that! Away from art and pressure of commissions, deadlines and having to satisfy everybody with regular posting. Like I said to you long ago, I want you to have fun drawing! Nothing feels worse than when everything is a chore. If you're having fun, then that translates to the paper as well, just like when I write. If I force myself to write, it's not going to be as beautiful of a piece as when I do it out of joy. So you take all the time you need! Stay safe during the Covid times, it will probably continue for a while. I've recently started doing Meditation myself~ Now's a good time to try new things~

Take care abd stay safe! We will wait for you :)

Ive been your patreon recently but i always found your art beautifull to the point where its fine waiting for a new masterpiece of yours. That being said, everyone should take a break from time to time, you cant keep working pedal to metal expecting to be ok. Take as much time as you need, your fans will be waiting for as long as it takes. 👍

You are only human, Sora (even though you produce some pretty superhuman art!). We are behind you! Thank you for keeping us in the loop. I hope you can get the level of peace you need.

Pelorix

Glad you're alright, take your time! We'll be patiently waiting for when you want to post again! Thanks for the update

Ah, bad timing then... Its the first time Im taking a break from patreon in the 2+ years Ive had it, usually always posting every 3-6 days (which is why I dont feel so bad about it, I feel like it had to happen eventually) Hopefully youll catch me during a more productive/active phase later

Soranamae

Oh no, I play very casually nowadays, mostly only for the story (which was amazing) and to check out new content for a bit... My days of mmo grinding are past me, lol

Soranamae

Take a break, everyone deserves a break to refresh themselves. And it can be tough if you don't feel inspired as an artist. So take as much time as you need. It's been a tough year for everyone so I don't fault you for needing a break.

Rudy

Stay safe everythink :) Hope to see you full of energy and inspiration again :) Just take your time how ever long you need :)

Zeechet

I only found your Patreon recently, but I've seen your art before and always adored it whenever I've seen it. Take as much time as you need to take care of yourself, we'll support you all the way!

Will be waiting for updates then =) Stay safe, and have fun!!

Take your time, Sora. Personal matters and health always comes first. Come back when you feel better and you have your things sorted out. We are always here. 💖

Understood! Figured you were working on the patch of 5.3 and all so I don’t mind waiting
