July Post: Something I need to address (Patreon)

At the beginning of August, I became aware of pledges were made from several fraud accounts in the previous month - more than half of my initial patrons.

I need to address this because the funds that was expected from all patron accounts were meant to be directed to my student loans which still has yet to be paid. Because of this, the comic's art and story-writing continues to be at a standstill due to me creating emergency commissions to keep me and my household afloat.

Despite earlier setbacks, I feel I've been lenient thus far. If need b, I'll have to charge upfront for future patrons to keep this from continuing. And since the setting for this is permanent, I rather that wouldn't be the case.

Worse case scenario I'll have to pull the plug on the entire project as well as drawing to find secular work, which by the way prompted me to create this Patreon in the first place as job-hunting is hardly fruitful for me and just make it easier for family to judge me on my decision-making.

I really want for this to work. I want to grow and improve to afford and develop my own personal workstation so I can keep improving and creating extending to other projects other than artworks.

Felt the need to vent. That is all.
