What now, what is the plan?

It will not be easy, but it is doable. My plan will require that I do not post anything for at least two weeks. It is very likely that I will not post anything until the second week of April. I need to built up a buffer of content for Patreon, to have a reserve as well as an outline of what content I should focus on. I feel like most of 2019, I've thrown stuff at the wall and see what stuck. I can not do this anymore, people want to have consistency in content. You joined because you enjoy my art and concepts, especially my suiting and android arts.

I hope that you'll be able to excuse the delay. I need to figure out the future of my Patreon page and my content. Due to recent changes to Patreon's policies, I will have to change a few things with my art and my content. I'm sure that you've heard Patreon's crackdown on manga artists. I've heard everything from Patreon trying to purge manga and anime from their platform in order to allow overly political western comics that line up with their views to be successful. To Patreon just taking down loli and shota artists from their platform.

Either way, I will not and cannot afford to take any chances with Patreon. This platform has allowed me to be self-sufficient, to literally allowing me to stay in the US. (I'm a DACA recipient) Losing my Patreon now will assure that I will not survive. Without funding I will not be able to renew my DACA status and deportation will not be far behind. I hope you can understand that the changes will be necessary. 

The changes will include, taking down arts from 2018 an under. To remove all art that shows human characters, from now on I will not display human characters in any way, shape, form or circumstance. (on Patreon) Comics like abduction will be taken down since they are a bit too rough for Patreon's tastes. However, due to the policy change and Patreon's lowering tolerance of NSFW, I have to adapt my content to ride the wave for as long as possible. 

I will start by change how I do the content distribution. To make your investment worth it, my idea is the “Patreon goodie bag.” A little extra stuff will be given with every Patreon pack that wouldn't be placed in the main gallery. I thought about it and I feel like this will be the safest way to continue to draw amazing concepts without raising red flags. What will be in the goodie bags? The best way to find out will be to join my telegram group or discord server. Unlike my main patron content, the goodie bags will be available to everyone regardless of Patreon tier.

I've been asked to make a Substar for Libra Labs. I feel like it would be way too greedy and scummy of me to do it. It would simply be the same content except I get to post the stuff that I would give away on the goodie bags. I do have a Libra Labs Substar registered and ready to go when and if Patreon decides to Tumblr themselves. Until that day comes (hopefully never) Libra Labs Substar will be a contingency plan. 

If you would like to see my content and concepts that have human characters only, it'll be posted to LibraBots Substar. Eventually, be posted on elsewhere publicly at fembot wiki and other proper galleries. (Pixiv, etc) 

Once again, I apologize for the slowdown and the changes that I will implement for Patreon. I do appreciate that you have stuck by me for all this time and I hope that you will like the new direction and for you to join me in it as well. I know this was a lot to read, I appreciate your time.
