Attention: About Patreon, Commissions, art and emotional burnout
Added 2019-11-25 15:59:37 +0000 UTCHello! I have wanted to talk with you about many things for a long time.
Let's start:
Patreon
I'm sorry, but I will have to change your tiers at the end of this month. Please check them on December 1st. I will understand if someone of you leaves us. Thank you for being with me for a long time! I was glad to draw for all of you. Why is this happening? Initially Patreon was a pleasant pastime for me. At first I set low tiers because I thought that no one would want to support me here. But now there are so many of you! I'm glad about that. Now Patreon is now my main income, but even for him I do not have the enough time right now. I will explain further why it happened.
I hope it’s normal that tiers rise with time;( I'm sorry if something is wrong.
Commissions
I updated some options in my price list. Commissions are still closed. You just can be in the know. Most likely I will raise prices again in the summer. Unfortunately, I need to live on this money. I want to make freelance my main job. I love working for all of you.
When will the Commissions be open?
This is the most common question. But I do not know. Now I am in a terrible state and I don't want this to be reflected in the drawings for you. Most likely I will do an YCH auction if I have time. I think that it will be honest because everyone will have a chance.
What is happening to me?
I think that you all noticed that artwork has become much less. And my commissions have been closed for quite some time;(
There are several reasons for this:
1) I am sick. Before my trip, I found out that I needed an operation. Now all my money is spent on medical treatment. I hope you will forgive me, but now I am saving up all the money from Patreon for a future operation, since it is quite expensive for me. Do not worry, this is not deadly. But this greatly interferes with my life, as pills affect my emotional state. Well, of course, physical pain causes discomfort sometimes.
2) My study at the university. I am in my last year. Ahead of me is the final project and state exams. Moreover, I have many tasks besides this. I’m literally overwhelmed with study projects. I am really looking forward to getting rid of my university and again able to draw a lot for you. It makes me really happy. But my studies drive me into depression.
3) Emotional burnout. I burned out for a long time, but I was afraid to admit it to myself. I don't get enough rest and due to problems rest is not possible at this moment . I try to do things, but constantly feel tired and emptiness. It’s like I’m doing everything wrong that I'm terrible and my artworks too. I try not to think about it, but it's hard. The only thing that saves me is your comments. I love you guys.
Thanks if you read this. I just felt that I should have talked to you.
