The worst day of my life... (Patreon)

Hello everyone,

First of all, my apologies for being radio silent—especially to those who have been waiting so long for their requests.

Only now have I found the time and courage to write this. Five days ago, the love of my life, my best friend, and my partner lost her mother to cardiorespiratory arrest. Everything happened so fast that it still feels more like a dream than reality. She was like a second mother to me as well, and knowing she won’t be part of our lives anymore has left us at a loss for words.

I didn’t want to “trauma dump” on you all, but my personal life does affect how often and how well I’m able to work, so I felt it was important to be honest with you.

I won’t stop drawing—I have to keep moving forward, as this is my main and only source of income—but I also have to be realistic and admit that I won’t be at my best for a while. Because of this, I will be refunding everyone who made a request in the past month.

For all other patrons, I completely understand—and even recommend—pausing your pledge until you feel it’s worth being a patron again. I truly won’t take it personally.

I don’t really know what else to say. This still feels unreal, and while I know some of you have been through similar situations, I wouldn’t wish this feeling on anyone. It really sucks.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. I’ll share more once I’m hopefully in a better place.
