2018 Updates!!
Added 2018-01-13 17:32:40 +0000 UTCSorry I haven't been as active lately... I kept wanting to make a post summarizing things going on but want to just be concise:
1) I've been super depressed and ran out of antidepressants a while ago now since my health insurance ran out so I've been running on just fumes until I'm able to get seen again... Production has been at a low and I've been way less interactive with you guys than I had hoped I could be, and I apologize for that... 2017 has just been the worst year I've ever had tbh, particularly creativity-wise.
- ...But! Thankfully your money supporting me so far will be helping me be able to pay for my new health insurance plan for this new year! ;o; Finally getting the mental health care I need will finally have me being able to do art stuff again and more for you guys! So thank you for sticking out anyway, guys! You're the real MVP! <3
2) After having about 2 months now of seeing how things go and how to sort my patron prizes, I've been doing some thinking on a system that may work best for me and you guys.
- Some of the prizes may change a bit. Not that you guys should be getting less, but just trying to even things out and have a couple more options so things are a bit fair
-One being that I might not offer the private stream for lower tiers simply bc it's too hard to try and work out times that match for both me and that person to meet up! I still would be willing to stream it and send a recording, but timing it so hard. People who had this for Nov and Dec as a prize I will still try to get done anyway.
-Other thing being changed might be of what I post. Like the old Paperman pics are one tier but I'll eventually run out of old pics obv! I'll add something else to compensate whenever that does happen.
-Mostly things like that but I thought I'd show some examples.
3) Biggest thing right now tho is that I will likely be changing how the payments go through. Patreon in general is terrible about filtering all the stupid fake/fraud accounts and has it so people can steal content for a whole month without paying only to pull out at the end. (I lost over $100 in fraud accounts just this last month and have been having to block a fraud account almost every day since this year started. It's been ridiculous!)
It's too easy to be taken advantage of so I've been looking into what I can do about it. They seem to have a BETA run of where the payments of the patrons will be taken out RIGHT when they join and I think that's what I'm gonna try to lay down asap this month (tbh, patreon should have had it set up that way in the first place....).
*I'll be making a post again before I change the payment process as a final heads up!*
Thank you all for bearing with me! ❤️

2018-01-14 04:28:02 +0000 UTCFfff it's fine! You weren't the only one. The other main issue was just my availability of being willing to draw the stuff too... It feels like the stars and planets have to align lately just to get any stuff done. <:>
