Shutting down Patreon in Feb 2021
Added 2021-01-06 05:58:19 +0000 UTCHello!
It's been a while and I apologize about that.
After a lot of thinking, I've come to the conclusion that unfortunately, I'm just not in the mindset to balance Patreon on top of other things. It's been a hard decision to make, and I really thought this was what I wanted, but I feel like when it comes to art I want it to remain purely as a hobby and if I feel I have to draw a certain number of pictures per month it can be quite stressful. I appreciate everyone who has supported me from the bottom of my heart, I truly do! I was so overwhelmed with gratitude the first time I saw everyone pledge to me... I wish this was something I could do, but I think art just has to stay a hobby for me.
I've been pausing payment again and again because I just don't feel like I should be accepting payment unless I can draw super frequently. But I don't think that's what I want to achieve with my art. I have thought about this a LOT and I do think I feel better about cancelling Patreon for now and just going back to drawing purely for fun.
I'll try to draw for this month to finish off some stuff I owe and post to here, but from Feb I will be cancelling all active memberships and shutting down this Patreon.
Thank you so much for everything!
Q Is this the end of Patreon?
A I can't say 100%. Right now I have too many other commitments (work, other hobbies) to devote as much time as I feel I should to Patreon. If at some point I end up having a lot more free time, I may attempt to restart Patreon if I feel confident I can provide a steady stream of art. But for now, I think it's not the right choice for me.
Thank you so much for all of your support up until now!

2021-01-06 12:25:25 +0000 UTCI'm okay with your decision. As much as I love the thought of supporting your art through Patreon, I could tell the enjoyment here was like a lit match: brief but bright. Regardless, I will continue to be a fan of your art for a very long time. Hope everything goes great for you!

2021-01-06 06:22:59 +0000 UTCWell that's okay. As much as I feel sad about this news, I'm happy knowing you want the best for yourself and your art. As long as you don't stop posting your amazing work, I don't see a problem with what you've decided. It is after all your decision, I'm okay with that. Thank you for offering commissions through Patreon to begin with!

2021-01-06 06:07:12 +0000 UTCDo you mean for Jan? I paused the billing for every month until Jan, and I plan to be active this month. Were you charged for December?
2021-01-06 06:04:48 +0000 UTCPardon me, but I was charged for an inactive month. Would it be possible for me to request a refund?
