Hey everyone,
I wanted to chat with you about a few things.
I've been feeling quite tired lately, partly due to my health, which has been a bit rough and doesn't seem to be improving much. I've started a new treatment to see if things get better. But I've also been very tired because of the hundreds of things I have to do daily, sometimes even on weekends.
The good news is that my commissions are now on indefinite waitlist. I'll only accept commissions in my free time or during emergencies, without accepting anything or things that are too complex. This is thanks to all of you who are supporting me here on Patreon. I'm getting close to not needing another job besides this one.
So, since commissions are off the table, I still have university and the two contracts with game studios. I'll graduate from university in October of this year, but I still have an MBA to do. I don't know if it's going to be easy or hard, we'll see. As for the other two jobs, I'll think. For now, I'll keep them along with Patreon, maybe to save some money for an emergency health fund or to finance the game project. But what I really want is to stick with Patreon only and not have to worry about sleeping only 4 to 6 hours a day.
I wanted to ask if you have any suggestions for me? Is there a way I can lighten the load somehow without making you'all upset about the lack of frequency or anything like that? I'm thinking more in terms of posting art daily, the Cards Club, Prints Club, my spicy pics, and all the other rewards would remain intact and immaculate.
I've been thinking about maybe keeping the frequency the same but the art being more sketches and less polished, simple ideas and simple backgrounds, just like the art below:
Perhaps this could allow me to rest more and maybe work on the game a bit, which is something I also want to do.
Another option I've considered is reducing the frequency to 2 arts per week, one OC and one fanart, but continuing with the same polishing process as always.
And maybe doing one fanart with the usual polish and one OC that's more sketchy and funny could be a good idea too.
I'll leave a poll for you to vote on the best option, or if you think it's better to keep the frequency as usual or if you have a better option. I appreciate your understanding and participation, my loves.
That's it! Thank you for your attention, my dears. ~
With love, Yumykon.

Thank you very much for doing this just to advise me on this. Although I like to dedicate myself more than people normally do, I recognize that I need some time and rest for now, mainly because of my health. I'm taking everyone's opinion and votes in consideration in my decision next week, which I will announce in the next newsletter. The decision will only be on how I'll organize the reduction in frequency, but I will definitely do it. Thank you very much again for your kindness ~

I’ve literally just re-subbed just so I can comment so hear me on this! Everyone is here either because they want to support your as an artist, in which case we wanna know your working sustainability and enjoying yourself, or for ahem ‘other’ reasons in which case I’m suuuure they can lump it for a bit as you have made so much content it’s unbelievable! Don’t go burning out on us girl like take a full on break if you need 😁

I’m kind of new but I’m just amazed at your output! So don’t worry about reducing it, that totally makes sense. I think that’s still plenty! Whatever you decide 😊
