Very Tired And Things Need To Change (Patreon)

Well, I’ve been pondering this for the past week or so, and I’ve had to make some hard decisions, but unfortunately things will be changing in the world of Pembroke W. Korgi.

The biggest issue is my health, while IBS is a manageable pain disorder, it’s also something that seems to get worse the older I get, and I haven’t been getting younger.  It’s also triggered by stress, and unfortunately I can’t quit the main causer of my stress, my job, because I can’t afford to live my life without it.  As much as I like drawing art and making videos, neither comes remotely close to making a living wage.  So the unfortunate factor is I’m going to have to find a way to cut out other forms of stress, and that will have to come from all the projects I do.

While I enjoy doing lots of projects, it still does stress me, and I rarely find I have time to myself where I’m not working on some project.  So I’ve made the decision to end my pony ask blogs and remove myself from that fandom.  Sure I’ll probably still draw ponies occasionally as they are still fun to draw and I still like the characters, but I’m not going to be an active part of the fandom anymore. Thiklestia will probably end in a month or two, and Berry Punch will end when the story is finished, which has been coming faster than I expected thanks to you clever fans asking smart questions (seriously, you guys impressed me with this one).  I realize a lot of people supported my patreon because of those blogs, so I understand if you drop me, but I just don’t feel it’s healthy for me to keep them going.

I’m also going to stop doing NSFW art.  I’m fine with suggestive, like butts and covered boobs, but no nips, dicks, vagoos, or actual assholes.  I don’t know why, but the older I get the more uncomfortable I get drawing this stuff.  I can’t explain this change, as I used to have fun drawing this stuff, but now it just makes me feel gross and adds to my stress.  Which I’m sure will be an issue because a lot of the people who commission me often want NSFW stuff, but I just can’t do it anymore.  I’m sorry.

The plan is eventually get everything down to just doing the stuff I enjoy most, my webcomic, Da Pukas, and my favorite video projects Arcade Funhouse and Cartoon Catastrophes.  I’m not sure if this decision will effect the Pemmy Plays or Boxiken episodes since the editing duties on that are done by Drax and @krunchylex, so their significantly less stressful.  However I may stop doing Let’s Draw and Unscripted Honesty videos… haven’t decided yet.

Anyways, this is the rundown of everything going on with me at the moment.  I’m sorry if this upsets many of you, but I feel like I have to do what’s best for my health at the moment.  I hope you understand, and forgive me.  I wish I was stronger.
