Das Ende...?

I graduet!

Some of you may know I made a Patreon account a few years ago because I was returning to university to expand my career. Well, yesterday I graduated. The "Backstreet Boys Reunion Tour" fugged it, so I wasn't able to really celebrate or see my family or friends. I'm not whining it was just really anticlimactic. 

Anyway, on to what may affect my art. Since I'm no longer a university student, I plan to march out, bleary-eyed, into that bright, hectic world of ours and get a job with my degree. Full disclosure, I got a bachelor's in nursing. I'm not a doctor. Young doctors only hail from wealthy families, or are exceptionally bright, and I'm neither- but I will return someday to get that title for real!

Of course, I still need to pass my board exam. I haven't got a job yet. I have been waiting for this moment for a long long time, and as much as human nature may compel me otherwise, I think its only fair to reduce Patreon's financial importance- that is, I may leave it open as a sort of tip jar and maybe only have a running backlog of a few pics. Or, I might close it entirely. 

It is with mixed feelings that I enter the forever-changed face of public medicine, but my thanks to everyone who has supported me is without ambiguity. Thusly I am urging all of my supporters to reconsider their pledge status. While it may be premature as I haven't secured employment yet, the generosity and support of the furry fandom has been overwhelming and I cannot in good conscience expect its duration to stretch needlessly.  I wish to bestow upon each and every one one of you my most heartfelt thanks. All of the work will be in time posted to FurAffinity (and into the waiting hands of whomever posts them on e621/wherever). 

Is this the end of Artstudio Molotov? No, unless I die or something, in which case I'll kindly ask my wife to post something someplace. The Discord server will likely remain open, as its a great way to connect with others. While it is not likely that work will occupy so very much of my time that I am unable to continue drawing, it will obviously have its detriments. 

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all. 

It's been a slice. I mean that sincerely.
