I'm pausing Patreon for the month
🕑 Added 2020-03-04 15:13:51 +0000 UTCPatreon will be paused this month and you will not be charged on April 1st.
Over the last few months I've been getting worse both mentally and physically. My diet is garbage, my sleep schedule is so messed up I can barely stay awake during the day, I get so little exercise that I'm surprised my legs haven't atrophied into useless twigs, and I waste so much time on the internet that my brain has become as useful as a fried egg. I haven't made anything new in the last week because every time I open the computer to draw nothing comes out; and when I do manage to draw something it turns out misshapen and terrible. I want to make good art for everyone who pledges to me, but in my current state that goal gets harder and more stressful.
I've thought about what this job requires from me plenty of times. At first it was easy because I had so much inspiration to draw and get things done. Over time that inspiration has slowly decreased until I had to find ways to force myself to get work done. I've questioned why I've decided to make this my job. This is why I'm taking this break. I'm locking up the computer and the games so I can focus on getting back to a healthy mindset.
For the next month I'm going radio silent so I can focus on getting a proper sleep schedule, learn to make my own proper meals, and get the hell out of the house for exercise. I'm going to stay off the internet so I can learn to live without it's distraction. And finally I'm going to learn why I've been losing my will to draw and see if I can get it back. I will hopefully be back next month with a renewed vigor and plenty of ideas to work on. Also, everything that is on Patreon that I have yet to publicly release will stay on Patreon until this break is over.
I want to thank everyone who stuck with me this far. I hope to be in a better position next month so I can keep making the stuff you subscribe for.
Tldr: My mental and physical health is trash, I'm losing the motivation to draw, I'm taking a month off to fix it, you won't be charged this month.
