Thank you all for your contribution, it's good to say it every now and then because it's not something to be taken for granted.
It's been a difficult two months because, I won't deny it, I haven't had a good income from Patreon during this period.
I believe that the “free members” option that Patreon introduced some time ago has damaged us artists. I have a sneaking suspicion that many of my illustrations are being stolen and posted elsewhere. I'm afraid that many free members are here waiting to see the titles of the things I post so they can ask for them elsewhere.
I don't want to insult or offend anyone, I'm simply saying this because I've noticed that there are disproportionately more free members than subscribers, and it's been like this for about 6 months. It seems impossible to me that the number of free members hasn't decreased in these 6 months, so I'm starting to suspect that they're there to watch my every move.
I think it's obvious that if the situation worsens, I won't be able to keep patreon going, so please don't spread my work around, or you'll end up destroying me :(
Apart from these negative things, I want to thank you because during this period I realized something very nice. There are more and more comments on my posts and I'm very happy about that. More and more of you are commenting. I try to reply to everyone, I always have, because I wanted to create a bond with you, and I think it's finally happening.
I'm convinced that I've created a beautiful community of people who have fun and also talk to each other, and for this I thank you. For me, a comment is worth a thousand times more than a simple like, so thank you.
We are people and it's nice to be together. <3
