🕑 Added 2022-04-05 06:26:23 +0000 UTCI think many have already seen alerts in my FA\twitter logs that I have closed patreon. And yes, I really gave up at some point and closed it, because:
1. We faced the problem of withdrawing funds from patreon to payoneer (since paypal is still closed to us, we are forced to use only payoneer). My patreon is linked to an old payoneer account that I don't have access to. And technically patreon's support tried to help us, but there are nuances of the patreon system because of which they CANNOT change the account to a new one and we didn't come to a conclusion. I still can't withdraw from patreon to payoneer :I
2. I don't have the moral strength for an exclusive and any other artworks right now. Now I am actively engaged in distributing debts to everyone who helped me in any way earlier: donations \ commissions, the list is really big. My money is running out, and the work has only increased, now I'm in a financial crisis. I just don't have the energy to work, I'm sorry that I don't keep my promises as creator. I'll understand if you decide to unsubscribe because of this.
At some point because of the reasons I wrote above I just freaked out and decided to leave. It was a rash act, I was very worried and caught a panic attack. Patreon is really my only job and I don't want to change it, I like what I'm doing and I want to continue doing it ._.
The situation at the moment: We have found an intermediary-a friend who will help us make a withdrawal from Patreon to Paypal and then send it to me, probably this is the only option at the moment. If something changes again, I'll let you know. But so far this option is working and Im here
I will continue to post my work here on patreon, I don't want to look for alternatives (for example boosty), I don't want to interfere with the sites or run from one to another +my patreon has been working since 2016 and I'm really sad to delete it... That's probably all I wanted to say.
Thanks for reading and sorry.

upd 11.04.2022: I think I'll draw a patreon pin up for February/March/April, but I'll just do it later when I have free time! I don't want to deviate from the schedule for patreon. But now temporarily I will be without patreon pinup, yes
upd 02.05.2022: Now sent archives for february and march WITHOUT Patreon Pinups
The archive for April will probably be by the end of May...

Well, nevertheless, I'm glad that you found that intermediary friend with the help of which you will be able to receive funds from Patreon.

I guess it's been because of me redacting tiers in that moment at this moment everything should work fine
Canis-Niphlanus
I'm staying too. Thanks for telling us, and I hope things improve for you soon. You're amazing
JustOffKilter
I'll be sticking around as well. One question though: on the tier that I'm subscribed at, it states that it's a "Temporarily paused tier". Does that mean that you aren't getting money from that tier?
Tempest Valiant
I really hope things get better for you. I'll be sticking around and staying subscribed for as long as I'm able. ❤️

I'm not going anywhere FR because between you and fluff kevlar I get to see some of the highest quality artwork around so take your time and do what you need to do to survive we understand
Plushberry
Heres hoping this senselessness ends sooner than later, and you can go back to making awesome art without worrying about money. Cant wait to see you back!

I can't possibly fathom how bad that all must be. But I'm staying and will support you as best I can.

I'm really happy that you found another way to operate especially with how things have been going for a while. I for one will remain like a lot of people whatever happens and if you need a break, take a break. I'm really proud that you talked to us about how you've been feeling considering how difficult it's been!
bagel
Nah, I'm staying. Take a break for as long as you need. I'm sure most of us will still be here once you're back
