Downgrading the Patreon to a TipJar for now

Added 2019-07-28 01:30:48 +0000 UTC

This has been a hard choice to mull over but I think it'll ultimately lead to more growth in the future. When I started this Patreon I did it out of impulse, since the company was starting to roll out updates to users who haven't been "grandfathered" in. Suffice to say, I think that played a big role regarding its inception for better or worse. As of now, I find myself wondering if I have the grit to grow and maintain this Patreon in its current state for years to come.

I've come to an answer on that, and the answer is: probably not

To get to the meat of things, I've decided for the time being to make this Patreon purely a tipjar for now. Ultimately this means planned tiers will not be implemented for the time being, and art will no longer adhere to a timed exclusivity period.

Art will still be posted to this Patreon however, I do not intend to abandon this page, but the benefits will not be offered for now.

I'm sorry to make this decision so out of the blue but I believe -after a ton of deliberating- that I lack the ability to run this Patreon to its fullest (with tiers and benefits on offer) due in part to my artistic ability and circumstances in life. Work has gotten in the way a bit more often than I hoped, and a few lifestyle changes have meant that I have less time to draw these days. More importantly I have to consider my last year in college coming up soon, and I sincerely doubt ill be able to commit to this Patreon as advertised when following through on that.

I think in the future i'll get back to implementing more features to this page, but I believe as of now...I've planned too much at once at the start, and I need to improve and revise my strategies until following through on that.

I'm sorry to everyone who opted in for the benefits, and I hope you understand where i'm coming from.

This isn't the end of this creator page of course, I will still maintain it as an alternate place to find my art, and I still hope to create for years to come!

Thanks for everything. Seeing you guys provide all this support has been a heartwarming experience, and I hope to live up to that support with better art!
