Where have i been? (Update)

Hey everyone! 

It's been a while since my last post. Almost a month to come up with just another preview and for that i'm deeply sorry.

I'm really thankful for all he support during the last months! It was even more incredible than before, but, despite all of that, there are some things i need to explain.

May was really a month in which i was on the verge of collapse. The Discord raid really left me angered, frustrated and devoid of any motivation to go on. 

Before anyone asks: No, there wont be any new servers from me; I'm officially done with Discord. There's just too much responsability and technical stuff i don't want to deal with anymore. 

From now on you could find me on some gas related servers only and i won't accept anyone's request anymore. All the updates and screenshots will be posted here and on my Twitter. My aim with my Discord server was to discuss about animations and create a community, a direct contact with them. Unfortunately, many chats tuned out to be a complete waste of time for me and i've grown intoxicated as months went by, even before shutting down the server for good (This is my personal global experience with Discord). One more thing about my former server's raid: I feel sorry for any of you who saw any of that and i heavily dissociate myself from anything posted by those"People" and i'm deeply DISGUSTED by such behaviour.

I really needed a break from animating, because i had some sort of writer's block and i felt there was no point in making progress if i felt so demotivated and uninspired due to all the social media and irl s**t surrounding me. Currently, i can only animate for max 2-3 hours per day. It's no mystery i suffer from mygraine, but now i get also really anxious, because i know that if i stay in front of my PC even 30 mins more, i will get a headache that will make me feel sick for the entire next day. 

As you can see i took back the "Idol" tier that benefits the shoutout at the end of my upcoming videos. I know it sucks to lose a benefit and have to pay more to have it back, but there are a few reasons for me to make this choice. Making credits takes a lot of time time and for every new video i have to manually redo the entire list everytime (Sometimes Patreon doesn't even update by its own), checking who's active and who isn't anymore, plus playing around with my video editor. I spend like 2-3 extra hours everytime to do these operations. Also many people wish to stay anonymous. Days back i had a conversation with a patron complaining that his name was featured the Eevee girl's video credits while he wanted to remain anonymous. It was my mistake, sure, but how do you expect me to remember notes, DMs and comments that were sent outside Patreon months before the video gets released? It would be practically impossible, since i receive a lot of them. This tier is also very profitable for me. 1,50 EUR more really could help a lot, considering i spend 100+ hours for any new video. I'd be really thankful, if you chose to pledge to this tier in the future. 

In brief, this tier is only for those who want to get a shoutout at the end of my upcoming videos. If you still want to access to the Early access content, but want to stay anonymous, all you need to do is to pledge on the "Admirer" and "Lover" tiers or make a custom pledge.

I won't be accepting commissions anymore, because i really feel the urge to work on my ideas and projects, and i just don't have anymore time to work on animations i may not like and i'd feel obligated to work on because someone pays for them. I really have tons of ideas like a brand new series of shorts, longer and raunchier videos for Crimson Idol and a MLP collab project with my friend GassyChryssi revolving around our waifu Queen Chrysalis.

I really hope you understand and i can't wait to release my upcoming animations.

Eternally yours, Crimson Idol
