Important Update for 2024
🕑 Added 2023-12-31 12:26:54 +0000 UTCHi, everyone!
This post will be covering some important things that include my future as an artist.
I'm not leaving or anything, I just want go over a few things, if that's alright.
If you’re not interested, that’s perfectly fine. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and have a wonderful new year. For those interested, stick around!
Just FYI, I highlighted (bold) some key parts to make it easier to skim.
Here’s the gist.
I’ve been making some not-so-subtle hints about my mental health for a while now. Truth is, I’ve been having anxiety attacks since August. Heavy chest, feels like I can’t breathe. Fun!
I’m getting help and doing some programs, but the only person who can cure me, is myself. So it’s time to make some decisions and changes.
The ugly bits
Over the past year, I’ve been getting lazier and less motivated. As much as you guys and gals love the animations and prime sets that I do, I’ve slowly grown to hate them. Over time, I’ve just rushed them and put in less and less effort.
To deal with this, following January, there will be no polls as I will be taking a break from them for the time being. I will still be trying to get out some sets and animations, but they will no longer be monthly. I will be working on them at a much slower pace that feels right to me.
In all honesty, the prime sets were originally meant to be just pinups or extra renders. I would go back to doing that, but having the fan-fiction with it is what makes it for me. So I'll keep doing them like that.
Changes to be made
Following the new year, I’m going to phase out a few things, such as working by the month. Patreon offers a bi-monthly subscription. I will be switching to it when the time is right.
I also want to phase out 1080p still renders and 720p animations. Also change the tier rewards around. Things will become a bit cheaper.
More sooner changes
Following January, I will focus on my backlog and the changes I want to make to my page. Ideally, I want to get the main changes done by the end of January. Can’t promise anything that quickly though.
Biggest change to make
As much as I love opening Blender to start working on an idea, I’ve become a machine. For 2024, I’ll be working on turning this all back into a hobby. The way it was meant to be.
Final note
For those who don’t know, October 2023 marked the 8th anniversary since I started posting my renders on Tumblr. Till this day, it’s still my passion to create things. With this, I will start playing around with other programs that could take my fan-fiction to the next level. I can’t promise anything cause it’s a big learning curve and I have a terrible attention span.
Apart from that, thanks for reading!
It's been a pleasure having so many of you stick around for this long and still continue to do so through all the shit I've endured. Hopefully after some mending, I'll be back to experimenting and posting for the same reasons you decided to support me for in the first place.
Thank you all for your support after all this time.
See you all in 2024!
