Some sort of action needed (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

Looks like I’ve got some sutiation. I need some resourses to live on. I mean, the money didn't disappear into thin air, but got stuck somewhere in between of Patreon and me. I hoped until the very end that I would be able to resolve this issue without such a message for you, but months pass and it is what it is. If I want to keep creating I need to make it possible, some temporary solution is needed. So…

...Maybe I'm finally ready for commissions. I've always refused to do it, but it's probably time.

This is one of the options.

Another one…

...I take one of the tiers from Patreon and move it to another platform (again, temporarily)? For example, a Bonus tier, and reduce its cost to ensure that you pay less for two subscriptions than for one, while getting all the content. BuyMeACoffee, Boosty or something else, I didn’t really figure it out yet.

If you have any ideas on how to do this better, I would be grateful.

Again, you’re the best! Thank you for enjoying the stories and supporting me for this far! It really means a lot to me! 😊

I’m sorry you’re having this trouble. I really enjoy your work and I’ll keep supporting you.

What other platforms are creators going that have better share of the money? I don't know. If you are thinking of accepting commissions, I'd love to see another comic like A Wonderful Dream Selfie!

I'm in the searching right now, but I'd like to leave this page as it is for those who are comfortable with it. I'm trying to find a better solution.

I’ve been thinking about your situation over the past week, and I have to say, I’m really displeased with how Patreon is handling this. I’ve seen other creators face the same problem, and moving everything to another platform often turns into an unnecessary mess for everyone involved. I also think that if commissions aren’t something you actually want to do, you shouldn’t feel pressured into them. Forcing yourself into work you dislike will only drain you and likely hurt the quality of the content we’re all here for — that’s how burnout happens. While I can’t offer a magic fix, I want you to know you have my full support while you work through this. However you decide to handle it, I’ll be here. I truly cherish your artwork and would hate to see it disappear. If there’s any way I can help — even in a small way — please let me know.

Yeah! Exactly, I wouldn't want to create even more confusion. So, despite my initial desire to resolve this issue quickly, I'm still sitting here thinking about how I could do it in a way that would be convenient for everyone. Even if I consider the commissions, I don't really understand how to approach this yet (I don't want to turn everyone down, but I can't take on too much work either). Commission isn't that scary for me, actually 😄 That time when I've been making requests for months, I was actually having fun! Depends on the type of commission, I guess. If someone wants to do word-for-word according to their request, and also prefers to participate in the creation process, insisting on receiving interim results, I will refuse such a commission. But if another someone gives me a brief description, indicates the general direction of the desired result, and leaves everything else up to me, then why not? Some kind of rules will be needed, won't they? Thank you for staying here and for your support. It really means a lot!

That makes sense to me. I do commission artists from time to time, and it’s normal they set strict rules. Like, they can refuse a pitch, avoid some topics, don’t want to be micro-managed. But a bit of macro management is normal too — like maybe 3 changes allowed, and if more then it costs extra. Showing some progress along the way is also common. What you say — getting a pitch and some direction but then freedom to create — that’s how most commissions go. If you set those rules clear from the start, I think it could work good for you. And honestly, with your style, people will be happy to just give an idea and let you run with it.
