Current status + Plan

Hello supporters, thank for your support I'm recover bit fast. While I take a surgery and lie down in hospital I thought many things about my Patreon. For sure I am not very good artist, always delay and not doing exact as plan and quality is very unstable. So here is few changes my Patreon.

1. Not going to charge until I finished all of stacked up packages

Yes I know many of supporters already suggest this, but I feel like I can manage them and don't want to give up monthly reward at first. It is weird but sometimes artist make a stupid decision at least for me. So stopped (pause) the charge every month until I finish all of them.

2. Back to first stage.

When I doing 3-4 illustrations with story, I think have no problem with "stacked up" because I can manage that amount of work. after my Patreon getting bigger and also got lots of feedback which I used illustrations too many times. Even community hate and says it is simply copy & paste 200times. So I draw many illustrations until everyone satisfied but it causes lots of health problem from overwork. 

Thus, I want to go back when I started this patreon. 3 illustrations and story that's all. I'm not going to make 14~15 unique illustrations because in my experience it is impossible to finish in a month. Conclusion, I'll back to first stage when I have no problem with delay. 

3.Try any post of progress at least an week

Ugh, It is the most problem which I always make everything going bad. I don't know why but I am scared post "Well there is no big progression". But I'll try to post my status every week even there is no progression for communicated with you guys. 


Those 3 things are change of my Patreon. I always appreciate my supporters because without you I might can't drawing. 

Thank you very much

The progress post is good. Touching base is valuable even if its "sorry guys I did no work this week lol I suck." Its easy to over promise and under deliver. You want to do the awesome thing. You don't want to let people down, sacrifice income, and you want to push yourself. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with rescoping a project until its more practical. Its better to say you're going to do a picture a week (or whatever) and 70% of the time you get two pictures done than it is to say you're going to get 2 pictures done every week. The negative feedback (both from customers and from your own lizard brain) from failure is going to compound and make it harder and harder to be successful. So I think this is a really smart move on your part.

Your health is more important than getting that last (if any) work forced out the door! Pace yourself in a balanced way that leaves you feeling right.
