My Final Post – Closing My Patreon
🕑 Added 2025-08-29 13:45:13 +0000 UTCI’ve decided to close down my Patreon page. First of all, I want to sincerely thank everyone who supported me during this journey — your help meant a lot to me. 💙
I also want to be transparent about the reasons behind this decision:
In order to produce my work, I had to rent a Shadow PC which cost me around €50 every month.
Meanwhile, my Patreon income was only about $30 per month, and most paying members canceled their subscriptions within 2–3 weeks.
While other creators managed to grow to 50–60 patrons in the same period, I could never reach more than 5–6 paying supporters, which made me feel that I wasn’t moving in the right direction.
Most people prefer to follow for free — for example, I’ve reached over 1,000 followers on Pixiv, but that interest never translated into consistent Patreon support.
Because of this, I don’t think I can continue investing so much time and effort when it simply doesn’t pay off. That’s why I’ve decided to stop here.
Thank you again to everyone who believed in me and supported me along the way. Your encouragement truly meant a lot.
Goodbye... and take care.
