Hiatus Extended by one month + Upcoming Patreon Changes!
🕑 Added 2022-08-16 18:53:41 +0000 UTCI've decided to pause the Patreon one extra month before hopefully getting back to it in October. I'm really hoping some festive and fun anims for Halloween and Christmas will bring a spark back to me!
This Patreon started out as an excuse to create animations of things I really enjoyed whilst still being able to justify the time on it instead of commissions, so I was a lot more comfortable going ham and spending more time on them.
After about two years or so though, I, for the most part, was coming up with whatever idea/characters I could think of just to fill the poll spots (not necessarily things I would really take pleasure in animating for myself, but nothing I really disliked). I've been trying to power through the burn-out on that for a while.
I don't want to cancel my Patreon -- however, If I'm being honest, I'm still feeling some heavy burnout on ideas. I'm still not sure how to rectify that. I'm strongly considering making the character polls 3 characters max instead of 5 each month.
I think I will also be switching my animation method to something rougher - more akin to my timed animation slots (Unless it's an idea I'm really excited to do -- then I may spend a lot of extra time on something like with my Aesprite animations.)
Finally, I think I will be discontinuing my Patreon headshot animations. I'm sorry to those who got one from me each month so loyally, I immensely appreciate the support and really enjoyed the ones I worked on!
Whatever changes I decide to make, I will announce mid-September, so anyone who wishes to de-pledge has ample time to do so - I will never hold it against you! :O
It cannot be understated that I've immensely appreciated everyone's support over the years too. I've been able to practice so many things thanks to the Patreon <3

It's totally okay to take a longer break! I'll also still support you even without a headshot animation!
