                  Ending my Patreon            

Time to put the mercy shot with my Patreon and end its miserable  life. Note: I will finish the Makoto images on time & I will make  next months but it will be REALLY watered down. Everywhere else will get  the normal version while my two backers will get the “directors cut” These will be sent to them on their own tumblrs as this will be competely shut down soon.
Reasons:
 In 2 weeks -when my manager leaves for a 60+day vacation- I’ll be  working every day. Half the time I’ll be working all-day shifts. So my  actual free time to be working on this will be cut short. The stuff I can draw at work obviously can’t be Patreon stuff.

 It was going to be canceled regardless as soon as I go to Kendall. With  class work and a part time job….and classes, I don’t really have time  to do this. The people who actually draw on Patreon don’t really go to  school so they have more free time to work with. 

With me being  serious about my future I need to spend more time to create an  illustration portfolio that is business acceptable. Get real people, all  this crap I draw I CANNOT use because of the suggestive/sexual nature  of it (unless I’m literally applying for that kind of stuff….which I’m  not). So I need to spend more time making art that is more sociably  acceptable….plus I really need a SFW website because I’m turning down a  lot of business by strictly sticking to smut.

I never should  have started one in the first place. It was too soon and its not that I  don’t have a fanbase to back me up….its just that my fanbase (for the  most part) is SO FUCKING lazy (some will take this personally but Idc  honestly. If you follow me but you haven’t even did the minimal a fav’d a  single of my pieces then I truly just don’t care). I mean they’re  either too young to actually have a credit  card or they’re just in it to try and get stuff for free from me (as I  found out in the past on DA, tumlbr, and even here) Plus I  really don’t like it having people convince me to start a Patreon and  then just abandon me when I do actually start it. 

Last reason is  that the time I’m spending on it is still not worth the money. Even at  the point where I brought it down to $1 awards, my “certain roommate”  still said that $1 a month is still too expensive if he decided to  support me….Fuck….off

Like  not to be all super-depressive but honestly Patreon was sucking my  soul. With it gone I can finally get some weight taken off of me and be  less bitter about things.  I really did want this to take off but so far after 4-or-so months here nothing really changed with the amount of people supporting me, and I advertised up the wazoo.
