I'm sorry that I am not working hard enough...

they will hopefully come back perhaps some of them have to save money or maybe they were in america where a hurricane hit and apparently it hit hard unprecedented flooding the news called it so its unlikely its your fault they will come back when they can

Vavacung, you do what you love to do, people love what you do, and so goes the great saying, "shut up and take my money" because you're amazing and everyone knows it

Castel Cassy

I understand. I'm trying to make my fragile heart learn to accept that as well. It's easy to be hurt and upset in this now day. Too sensitive until everything from big and small can make it fall into despair...

Vavacung

it sucks that this happens but I'm sure it will rebound. People going back to school or have overspend during conventions and want to take it easy a little bit on their money. You deliver amazing works Vavacung. don't be too hard on yourself. People still love your work even if they aren't actively showing it.

Electric Spark

thats so sad to hear my friend i love your work and as long as i have money i will keep supporting you and Your amazing art work

Snowfire

This time of year can be pretty harsh, since a bunch of people have to rebudget to allow for college expenses. (In some cases, for the first time.) Still, you've got a lot of loyal followers, and your skill has been improving pretty much all along. You have been branching out occasionally in your artwork, I'm pretty sure more people will come along in a while and sign up; and it wouldn't surprise me to see some of th ld crowd come bback in a few months.

I was checking my inbox today when I stumbled across what appears to be complete and utter insanity. Let me make this perfectly clear: Unless Patreon hangs itself, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Don't work yourself into an early grave and don't cry over spilled milk. You're a fantastic artist and we'll be with you for a very long time.

Zystroc

I'm your Changeling drone since the 11th June 2015, and I don't plan to leave the hive all too soon. I love your stories and art way too much for it. Don't let this encourage you. I know you work pretty hard, my queen.

Zosimos Wreden

Dont lose hope, with everything the way it is right now in our economy people probably are cutting back until they get back on their feet. You do amazing work and never disappoint us. Dont be so hard on yourself we are by your side no matter what

WhiteFang59

Don't give up. You're a incredible artist and I no problem waiting to see what you come up with. Take your time and enjoy what you make as those of us watching you enjoy your creations.

Dark Forge

I will tried. To be a better artist. Work less but get much more quility art for all of you.

Vavacung

Thank you, I will continue working like this for you.

Vavacung

I understand. I hope everything will get better soon....

Vavacung

Thank you. I will work my best for the remain patrons!

Vavacung

please don't over work yourself, your art is amazing and to those patrons who left, they don't that they left a talented artist

*hugs you tightly* you're doing plenty, like most of my feed is from you

Drago Whooves

While losing Patreons is pretty bad, there will always be those that will support your art, as your art and stories are really good. As many others have said, there are many factors to this. I just hope that it doesn't affect you for the worst. Just keep doing what you're currently doing now, and I believe that everything will be fine.

Tida

This is sad news. I have loved your art for a long while now and can also say that I will not stop supporting you. You art style is beautiful and your comics are always a good read. And I am sure many others agree.

BAR0SS

I know and I always do my best for any remain patrons.

Vavacung

Also things have a habit of fluctuating, so I am sure the amount of patrons are going to rise again at some point.

Benjamin

You're doing great work it's just times are changing either for the good or the bad. You just keep doing what you do best. :U

Zeropony55

I am sorry to hear about the lost of patrons. I think you work really hard and you make such good art and stories, but just know that I am not going leave, not today, not ever.

Benjamin

Yes. I can see you clear as day. I will waiting to drawing an reward art for you next month, dear sharpshooter. TTuTT

Vavacung

Thank you. I always tried my best to serve all of you and doing so many thing to entertain you. From art to fiction or even animation...Because I am full time artist....Drawing is my life now...It's everything I have....That why...It's sad to see people gone....I know it's impossible. But I still afraid that all of you will gone...until I can't continue living as full time artist anymore....Losing the very reason to live....The reason that holding me with this world...

Vavacung

I think you are also doing a good thing, with publishing stories that use your images. That way, your art can appear on places like Fimfiction, so more people can find you. So, I think you have been doing a good job. People have their own lives, and sometimes people have to go. Sometimes it is not their choice. So I think all you can do is continue to do the work you are doing. We do not want to see you over-work yourself and get sick!

Karl Kornel

Hmmmm. I am looking at history information on <a href="https://graphtreon.com/creator/vavacung," rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://graphtreon.com/creator/vavacung,</a> and things do not look too bad right now. I did notice that you have been giving more to $10 patrons, and I think that is being very generous.

Karl Kornel

Nuuuuuu! *throws $80 at screen* Does that work?

Rainpoke

You are not lowly drone, my dear. You are my precious subject. My dear supporter. The hive can't function without all of you....

Vavacung

I understand. But it's not make it hurt less anyway....It's a reason I add more reward for $10 patrons after all...To give more for those who put in less...

Vavacung

Please... Don't despair... We still love you... your art is some of the best pony artwork I've seen. Your comics are fun and really pretty... Please don't be sad... I'm just a lowly drone but I still you, my queen... So please...don't be sad...

Erik Bergevald

Thank you, for still be with me.

Vavacung

I understand. But I still have to work hard to hold any remain patrons with me. They deserve the best.

Vavacung

I just didn't have the funding to pay 20 a month so i opted to lower my pledge,most people probably either put in less, or left because financially they couldn't afford to either due to college or some other reason.

TheAlmightyToaster

Oh that is a possibility. So I think it is important, if someone makes a pledge, they should pay immediately for the current month. That will help to stop people who take for free!

Karl Kornel

I'm just low on cash right now but, Tomorrow I'll get paid an will be rejoining the hive again! You did end the monthly subscription two days before the end of the month!

Sora Strives

??? I am confused. I did not know you were losing patrons. I do not think it is possible to work harder. I think if you try to work any harder, it will just hurt you in the future, and that will be bad for everyone.

Karl Kornel

I think most of those that've left are just people that come to grab and go
