So, it seems that Patreon is making a few changes to its system to "better help creators" as they say. It requires changes in their rates so that they might better provide a means for creators to get their patrons. Honestly, I have no patrons, mostly because the people that watch me can't afford to do it. *shrugs* I get it, I chose Patreon because I hoped that it would help me with my bills. However, I don't really know what these changes will mean for me. I don't know if I want to try any other avenues like Kofi, which I've heard really great things about, because of the fact that since I don't have any patrons in the first place.

I'm not going to quit Patreon just yet because I can't accurately see how these changes will affect me. I'm already working on redoing my Patreon so that it's more cohesive as well as more appealing to any future possible patrons. I mean, why patron me if it doesn't look like you're going to get something out of it? That right now is my thought process. I want to entice future patrons by showing them that I am worth being patroned for. I will give them something worth their time and their money. So, that's why right now my Patreon page has no activity going on right now.

In other news of my life, I'm getting out of a major art block that I've been fighting for months now. Ironically, it's trying to get into DnD that has me inspired and making sketches of possible characters. It's just finding the time right now. I've been getting more hours at work, which I'm not going to complain about because it's really been helping live better paycheck to paycheck. You gotta do what you gotta do, you know?

Just to let everyone know, no, I'm not dead. I've been searching for a new job that would hopefully be full time. I can't afford my one part time job, and having two part time jobs might cause a conflict in schedule. I haven't been having much luck, not for lack of trying. My roommate, bless her soul, she's been trying to help me find jobs where I'd be able to use my major, or at least my minor, doing design work. I've also been trying to sell some of my ties on Facebook to condense on the amount of junk that I have.

On top of that, I wanted to let everyone know that I do have commissions open should anyone wish to commission me. I'm hoping to get back in the swing of doing my art again, start HvA up again, and maybe start selling things on TeePublic. I'm hoping to make myself more productive. I've already started going to go to the gym to make myself more healthy. Wish me luck, all.

My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.
