Mid-May Update
🕑 Added 2024-05-14 08:56:28 +0000 UTCLong time, no see, eh?
Writing this after a fortnight’s self-imposed exile from here and social media (outside of my Telegram Channel), I feel recovered enough to make a public appearance again. Hi.
My most heartfelt gratitude goes out to each and every one who contacted me out of concern. You are very kind and I apologise for not responding in good time more directly. I really needed the seclusion before I said or did something I would later regret.
My absence afforded me the uninterrupted opportunity to think about the future.
As it is, I am incapable of brooking the role of Damocles much longer on this platform.
I’ve tried my best to soldier on unaffected yet otherwise vigilant. However, long-term low-key anxiety evolved into paranoia resulting in a terribly lonely, tiresome personal hell. This is partially why you don’t see me on social media anymore, and why I’m extremely reluctant to promote myself here. This state of affairs cannot continue.
So, what is going to happen now?
I plan to return here in June and continue as before: so, update the comics, provide the artwork, etc. I’ve already some things planned for here finished and ready to be uploaded.
Even so, I have already started setting up my account at that ⭐ place one can subscribe to as an insurance policy (awaiting approval at the time of writing this post). I haven’t anything ready yet for there, so don’t start asking for URLs or what name I go by there. But I am planning to move some things there. I will inform you duly.
I will not erase my account here just yet; it’d be a shame to not make it to 9 years here at least (of my own volition). Though poignantly enough, all Adult/18+ creators on here received this email last night (13th May):
Illustrators and animators who work purely in fictional subject matter need not worry about this, as stated by a representative on the Patreon Discord:
Perhaps I am being a bit melodramatic. I don’t know. Uncertainty is an inescapable facet of reality… as well as the loneliness that comes with being a self-sustained creative person.
But I’m sure I’ve made the right manoeuvre here. With all this said, thank you very much for all your support. I am truly indebted to you all for continuing to keep me afloat (heck, it’s thanks to last month’s money coming in, I’ve been afforded this opportunity to take a step back and assess things—as well pay my taxes, renew my car, my dental treatment, rent, etc…)
You’re the best. Stay safe, stay well, and do the best you can. Good luck.
Yours Sincerely,
‘Kamiduzaurus

Like Lunao said, I didn't know you have a telegram channel. Though I am not so sure if you are referring to the Artist be Alert or a separate one. If that is not the case, may I join this other channel?

I didn't know you had a telegram channel. Is it open to join?

Well one at all times can keep eggs in more than one basket. That said, P’s hurry-up and sign schtik reminds me of “act now this offer will not be repeated” hucksterism. Transparently untransparent.
