May pack sent and here's Something I want to say.
🕑 Added 2020-08-09 14:40:36 +0000 UTCHey everyone. I hope you're all doing well. Here's something I want to let you know.
1. You probably have noticed that I was not releasing drawings as often as before. I want to apologize for that. Recently I am feeling very frustrated about drawing. I lost all my confidence. I looked at some famous/top tier artists and their art and felt below them in terms of both skill and amount of supporters. Now every time I draw, I feel like facing a challenge that I'm doomed to fail. I'm trying my best to recover from such a mental state but it's hard. I'll really really appreciate if you guys give me more time and stay with me. Thank you!
2. Due to the reason I mentioned and I really need more income from drawing, I'm thinking about to stop doing old style patreon reward, and open two new thing. One is a new tier with around $20 per month. The patrons in the tier can provide characters as candidates for people to vote monthly, then I'll draw the result. The second one is Taking full commissions. What do you think?
3. The picture is a preview of upcoming art.

I would totally commission something from you, Cigusa. Hope you feel better!

I recommend the full comms path. Especially since I can see myself being a semi-regular-

I think that you are a top tier artist! Alongside Eigaka, DMX, Gaikiken, and Taiger!

Oh ok it’s whatever you feel like. I personally like the $40, but if you want to change it I’m okay with that don’t wanna stress you out 💕💕
Cigusa
Thank you Hattsy for liking my work. It's always nice to have you around.
Cigusa
Every $40 for 1 drawing. I'll probably stop doing it and do monthly voting instead. The old unfinished rewards are not cancelled, so no worries about that.
Cigusa
Thank you. Sometimes it's hard to endure the fact that I improve so slow and don't know how to get it faster while a lot of artists become famous and sucessful in such a short time.
Cigusa
Thank you for staying with me. I want to try doing monthly voting with the new tier first.
Cigusa
Thank you for cheering me up. I hope soon I can come back to the mind set that keeps me simply enjoying drawing.
Hattsy
your art is absolutely wonderful cigusa - i really love seeing it every time you post something! honestly, you're one of my favorite artists. if you ever open commissions, i'd absolutely love to get one!
Mr.Relish
What’s the old style Patreon rewards?!

I'd take you on your high tier were your offering up commissions but that be entirely up to you. Also, try taking your drawing in stride you'll always improve but you'll never be satisfied were your at.

I'm with you through your hard time, don't worry I personally like smaller tiers, but I know commission tiers are super hot so it would be a good idea to make them available

Never give up! Everyone has different skills and abilities, my drawing skills look like crap compared to yours but that doesn't stop me from drawing!
