Added 2024-08-10 12:05:05 +0000 UTCOkay it finally happened! I burned out. For almost a week or more I felt my right shoulder got very stiff and today I realized that this is just a psychosomatic bc my shoulder felt just fine yesterday when I've been planting carrots in some cozy game for almost a whole day straight, but it started to hurt today almost immediately when I hadn't even started to draw but just have been looking for refs, lol. Also my pictures seem to me bad, crooked, meaningless I don't wanna draw anything for content bla bla bla (classic artist's whining). And it's only fair bc the last long break I took was just around couple of weeks last August.
So yeah, just letting you know that there's very likely won't be any new posts for a few weeks. Have no idea if I should stop billing cycle during that time bc new people won't be able to join my patreon to see any previous posts or comics if I do that.
Let me know what you think about it in the comments. If majority say that I should stop it I will. If not - well, I really appreciate any support even tho I usually feel like garbage when I receive money for just existing ಥ_ಥ

Take all the time you need, your health comes before everything else!!! I personally think you should leave the billing on, you should still be paid for the work you have already done and there's no need to hurt you income because you are taking care of you. I'd also be worried if you might try to push yourself to start drawing again before you're actually ready if the billing is paused, so please leave it on.

2024-08-11 01:22:41 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure everyone said what we're all thinking: and take that break! It's better to take a break, and come back feeling like you can fulfill that sense of "progress" rather than drawing to meet a quota just because. Take care of yourself first!

Every job deserves time off to rest and relax, ESPECIALLY artists!! It takes so much energy to be creative and a lot of patience to execute!! You put out so much stuff on the regular; a break is overdue and you deserve to not have to worry about bills during your down time. Plant those carrots !!

2024-08-10 15:18:27 +0000 UTCI know the feeling, and I’m sorry that you’re going though it, you should definitely take a break for however long you need to, and remember not to feel guilty about it, burn out is a very real thing that fucks people up big time, mentally and physically. Personally I don’t think that you should stop billing, I’d personally love to support you through it, however long it takes for you to feel better, just remember not to force it, take it easy, okay? You’re an incredible artist and I want you to flourish, not to get bogged down by other people’s expectations Anyway yeah, hope you feel better soon, but until you do take it easy and remember to be nice to yourself! You’re doing amazingly ^^

2024-08-10 13:46:53 +0000 UTCi mean, i don’t think the billing should be cancelled…if anything, you need more support when you’re resting imo! do take care, i’ve overworked myself into shoulder and wrist pain before, so i somewhat know how you feel 😞 enjoy your break!!

2024-08-10 13:09:41 +0000 UTCI'll be happy to see you healthy and happy. Do not cancel the billing, that would be unfair to you. People on regular jobs who go on a vacation still get paid, so should you!

2024-08-10 12:14:43 +0000 UTCTotally get that, the amount of content you put out was quite baffling to me compared to other creators who post 1 thing per month. Please take care of yourself 💕 whether you want to pause or not is up to you. I might need to leave for a bit but that has nothing to do with your content or lack there of. I’d love to support you anyway but my finances are getting tight right now so that’s why. Hopefully I’ll be back soon ☺️🙌
