Hey there, just wanting to give an update to what is going with my patreon stuff and why everything has been halted.
I've resumed work on my comic and as a side project I was learning Blender during the weekend, everything was going as planned until near the end of February, apartment stuff finally began moving again and I had to stop everything to pick some commissions to help my family with it's expenses, so the comic that was supposed to be finished in March along with a 3D model of Dr Starline, might be finished now between April and May. I've still got 2 commissions left to finish, but I'll do one this month and the other on the next. Well, at least while working on commissions, I've made some quick filler stuff there.
For everyone who bought commissions and... [ Continued ... ]
For a while I've been noticing a pattern coming from fans of those fetishes that have been bothering me for a while.
So far my biggest beef are with UB Fetish fans, they tend to be quite demanding and pretty disrespectful. At best, most pieces that has it, they imediatelly demand more from me and ask if next piece is gonna be about it, they sub to my patreon, never claim rewards, but they reach out to me in the DMs to demand me to make more stuff with UB. At worse they decide to be rude about it and be passive aggressive because something that I've made was not about UB, and bro do this after I manage to put together big projects that I was quite proud of, right after I finish, dumbass would post on my patreon or reach out directly to me to be like "I wish it was...

Just wanted to share an observation I've been making through out the years, ever since I've start using Twitter/X more. For a while seeing other artists talking about art, I've been getting a vibe from them that, a lot of them doesn't actually enjoy making art itself, they're just in for the money, clout, or something.
From seeing posts of them making and sharing memes of how much doing art sucks before the pandemic. During the pandemic, seeing post of artists "joking" talking about getting into the furry fandom to make money out of them assuming everyone is rich idiot, crazy to buy any furry art. After the pandemic and AI started to shit out decent looking art, artists talking about completely giving up on art in general if art is no longer profitable, but after... [ Continued ... ]
I feel like next year is going to be quite productive.
Despite things this year not going well as I've hoped, with game dev not going so well as I hoped it would and got in the way of other projects that also had to be put aside soon after due having to take some commissions, at least I've managed to set up some big projects to finish next year. So my plans for 2025 are:
Comics
Early 2025 I'll finish up a stuffing comic of Lauren that I've sketched this year and maybe later I can do another follow up comic to it, if not that.
Animation
I've finished sketching an animation of Tai, I think this project will take 2 months to complete, more than my previous projects.
Game Dev
Despite my attempts this... [ Continued ... ]
Ever since I've turned 29 months ago I've been having this growing feeling of anxiety and hopelessness, that I might never actually make friends with anyone, much less find a partner, that nobody actually likes me and I'm only exist to serve people around for little to nothing in return. More and more I've been contemplating suicide after I reach 30 cuz I feel like, maybe life doesn't get better than that, being nothing but a tool to serve other people and their friends, I don't get to have boundaries or ask for anything in return.
But also I gotta recognize that I'm still emotionaly fucked with past experience of breaking up withsome of my old friends and some people that have been reaching out to me in the last couple years, it's been hard to get over, specially since for 4... [ Continued ... ]
Just feeling like yapping a little bit about gaming today~
And I say that because after a long time after GTA 5's launch, I finally managed to play it, because I don't have a console and didn't have a PC that could run it, I gotta say that despite having fun with it, I like the characters and storiers, gameplay wise I've dropped and didn't came back sooner than I did with GTA 4 which I 100%'d all DLCs... And doing that left it with a very bad taste in my mouth, but it opened my eyes and realise that 100% a game today it ain't worth it, it's just padding.
I've dropped GTA 5 very soon due how annoying money managing is, most things that you do barely give u something or gives nothing at all, but even after watching guides to make sure every character has a good sum... [ Continued ... ]
I just want to say thanks for everyone who supported me through all these years, with comments and favorites, I may not engage directly, but it makes me happy seeing people interacting with my art, and supporting me financially by buying commissions and supporting me on Patreon and SubscribeStar, from the smallest sub to the highest. Thanks to your support, because without it, I wouldn't be living the dream of doing art for a living and doing quite well enough to not only support myself but also being able to help my family when needed.
With all that said, part of me wonders "why", cuz when I look at the way I work compared to other artists around, I feel like it shouldn't be the case. I don't network with other artists, no community building, hardly keep up with... [ Continued ... ]
For those subbed to my Patreon or SubscribeStar or interested in subbing on 'em.
I'll have to change the rewards a while to give more way for the commissions I'll open up soon. The reason being that I need some money to help mom to secure the keys to the apartment she bought for me and grandma, in total me and her have 7k in my currency (BRL), I'm not sure how much grandma have but I'm covering for her just in case.
So the changes are gonna be that:
- All art reward tiers will only give sketches;
- The higher the tier you sub, the bigger the discount when buying a commission;
I'll start doing now, for those already subbed and are waiting their rewards, will get them as they were before the changes, for those that joined recently or... [ Continued ... ]
