Important Update (Please read!)
🕑 Added 2024-11-26 18:32:03 +0000 UTCHey everyone, hope you are all doing well. I have been thinking about something important for a long time and i think its about time I made a decision.
Given the state of the world right now, the madness thats going on, the economic uncertainty everywhere and the constant ever growing threat of AI infecting the world, I believe its for the best I focused more on Patreon from now on. Thats why I am making the tough decision to adjust the tiers. I don't want to do this, but certain steps need to be taken to both protect my art as well as keeping myself financially stable.
Starting January 1st 2025, I will be changing the prices of tiers and adding new ones.
The Morsel $3 tier will be dropped down to $2 and will only be showing WIPs and Scraps.
The Binge Eater $5 tier will be dropped down to $4. It will only have the public release images, and patrons will be given 1 vote on polls.
A new $7 tier will be added which will allow patrons to see alternate images and will be given 2 votes on polls.
A new $10 tier will be added which will give patrons access to bonus images and 2 votes on polls.
And one final $12 tier for people who want to be super supportive of my work. They will get access to everything as well as access to the ClipStudio Files of public images.
I will be putting most of my attention on here from now on and I might not post publicly as often as I used to. I really didn't want to do this, but its only getting harder for independent artist like myself to make a living online. I too am being affected by AI and it makes me want to scream. Seeing my hard work and years of practice being stolen by soulless machines and equally soulless AI enthusiasts hurts me deeply. I have a lot of sleepless nights because of it...
I greatly apologize for this change. If things were better, this wouldn't have happened. If you have any concerns or questions, please message me directly or post a comment. I really hope you continue to support me and other artists in our time of need. Thank you for everything. It means the world to me that you all care. ;w;

I'm late to this but its a sad state of affairs in the world today. I used to make art briefly a few years back but ai is kinda scaring me off picking it back up. I just wanna say I love your works by the way so i will try to support as well.

Then I'll pay once in a while after the year ends just to hold back a bit and being patient

You do what you must. As much as I understand, financial circumstances affect us all, and I'm not sure if I can justify the expense with the additional loss of Patron privileges. I love your work and hope that you can continue to make a living off of it.
