Ending patreon service soon

Hey everyone!

TLDR: My patreon service is coming to an end. So no new content will be posted here. I will extend the pause billing to november so nobody gets charged while I set everything here for free and change the tiers so everyone has access without paying this will be up some months while I back up everything, after that the page will be emptied or closed.

What happened?

I know this may be a bit sudden but I have been talking about it since the last few text updates. One of the reasons and mostly the main one is that I realized how burntout I have been as of late when it comes to drawing, feeling the constant pressure was really taking a toll on me both physically and mentally, I don't want to get into details to not come off as whiny but I have been considering it for longer than these last months, the whole IRS fiasco was what pushed me to take this decision in the sense that during this break I took to sort all that stuff out made me feel quite at ease, advance my commission queue, do some art for myself and enjoy some time with family which I felt was what I needed for a long time. Being honest I am scared of what the future holds since I will loss this income I was sure to get every month however I'm trying to stay positive that with more time to work on commissions I'll be able to make up for it.

What's next?

So now that I won't have to do the patreon rewards I will be able to have more time for commissions and hopefully I will be able to open more slots in case any of you are interested, I still would like to do some improvements to my comm process, such as I would like to make a google doc with a table for my clients to be able to see the progress of the comms I'm working on and the queue of my current workload, as well I would like to give forms a try mostly so I can get some common questions I make each commission like if someone wants to be tagged or remain annonymous, social media to tag, etc. And also update my TOS and commission sheet publicly.

I also want to start being more active on my main account since I have been leaving it forgotten due to putting more focus on this side so if you are interested and promise to remain civil about it (no mention of this acc or it's content) I could share it with you!

I will also look into opening a kofi or any other plataform to have as a tip jar in case you are interested in supporting me further but is not obligatory of course.

What will happen to patreon?

The plataform will remain open for some months but the kink content will be set for free so everyone can access it.

There won't be any more patreone exclusive content, poll or events hosted. I won't be posting my new art here either.

Since this is quite abrupt I will pause the billing for another month so You won't be charged in november, I will need some time to change the visibility of the posts and stuff so to take my time I will pause november's billing do it whenever I can since iirc I will have to change manually every single art post.

After my computer died patreon became the only place I have saved all of the drawings that were lost during that incident so it's important for me to keep the plataform up until I backup all my art and files available. After that I will most likely either delete the creator profile or just leave it empty in case there is a chance I come back in the future option but as mentioned before it may take months before the purge so feel free to save any artwork you like here.

In Conclusion

Thank you so much for supporting me all these years, while I did say it was the cause of my burnt out it also helped me a lot to stay active drawing, improve with practice and push my limits to try and get better, I met a lot of lovely clients who I look forward to work again and also got the chance to draw so many characters that I may not have been able to draw without your suggestions so I have nothing but gratitude to all of you 💖

This is certainly a hard choice to make but I hope that together we can make it work!

Thank you so much for reading this and for sticking with me, being part of this amazing adventure. You can still find me on twitter @CocoAPuffyPuff or Bsky @cocoapuffypuff.bsky.social
