The bunch of drawings of this month! All are requests drawings of patrons. It's been a while since the last time I showed my horrible sketches so here they come too. Some are from drawings of previous months. Will you guess all the matches?*
(* No, I don't know the answer. I don't understand my own sketches after one week, sorry.)

Last week I get a shock because Patreon suspended my account. I received a notification email telling me I had violated the Patreon's Community Guidelines! Of course I read them carefully and I asked them to be more precise (the message didn't say what mistake) and how could I fix it. A few days later another team member reviewed my page, didn't find any suspicious and reactivated my account again. So much ado about nothing...
The bad side: I know they can fuck me in any moment. Erotic content is always risky. When a website grows too big and aims for mainstream and family approval first step is to get rid of all the erotic stuff. Yay! That's why I'm quite paranoid and I like to keep commission payments out of Patreon, for example. Eventually I will also like to have ready an alternative for Patreon. In the fear and frustration of those days I even wrote a short complaint comic about this stupid pressure and censorship that suffer all jobs related with sex. (I will draw it someday...when I get some free time...hopefully after I finish the Learn to Draw Sensual Women this summer.)
The good side: They didn't cancel my account abruptly. I had access to the settings and the patron lists and your emails. So it wasn't going to affect the rewards, even if I had to send it personally one by one through email. That's why I kept calm and didn't send any panic email. I waited a few days to see their answer and actions. I also got the money of June and last months have been good (Patreon+commissions+comic sales), so I was not going to starve anytime soon.
Conclusion: Even if Patreon cancel my account I will continue drawing my fetish comics and stuff. But it's hard to start from scratch again and again. The monthly amount I get from Patreon right now, even if it's not very big (yet!) it helps me A LOT to get a steady production of pages of my beloved comics. The private commissions and other freelance jobs come and go... And yes, it's good money but mostly nobody sees that drawings apart from the director, the producer or the client. And it's quite easy to get lost taking mercenary jobs, just surviving. This last and a half year since I started Patreon my comic production has increased very much. 5-7 pages per month makes about 70 pages per year!
Now I just have to learn to focus and finish projects. Less short stories or with a goal in mind. Well, one step at a time :-)
So once more...thanks for your support!
