I am taking a break for one month. 

I have been working myself dizzy, and my productivity reached crawling speeds (see this months half finished exclusive). I think I pushed myself too far! though my mood is still high, my energy is nonexistant. I will take a break to recoup and get refreshed.

though knowing me, I never sit still, I will still be creative. but you can expect me to fully return september to sketch more pages of "on full display"

----

some non-important details:

what I think is happening; the exclusives are just too close together for me to spend crunch time on each of them. the problem with having 12 months in a year and doing a monthly project on each. there's no flexibility. I would like to extend months so they are 6 weeks, but patreon pays per month no matter what. another option would be to scale down the projects, but you cant tell a story in less pages. I have been thinking of solutions, but those will have to wait till I have a clearer mind. 

right now I will just accept that I sometimes need a vacation, jobs in the netherlands gives 30-60 days a year, I might as well keep to those rules X) with the added luxury that I don't have to plan them a year ahead of time.

I also know people will tell me to keep payment going while I'm away. but I cannot in clear consciousness do that. you all are so generous that I can afford to skip a few months. and though I have no issue with getting paid for my work, if I don't do the work, it feels absolutely wrong.

ramblings over! thankyou all for your understanding!! X)

Take care of yourself <3

Kuroi Usagi

You take care of yourself 💗 Nothing is more important than your health, for you and for us. Rest well, you deserve it

MatthewGreyFox

Take all the time you need to recharge. You deserve it!

Parrik

Take your time! I'd be fine to still pay

Twitmeat

Take all the time you need, your art is worth waiting for. I would be happy with one exclusive comic every two months and every other month just one or two pictures as exclusives.

You deserve a break. The content you put out is great, but I can only imagine the toll it takes. Treat yourself.

Skye Vicknair

You are the most important person in your life, Funky. Please, take as much time as you need to recover! We'll all be here sending you our love.

Fritz Muntean

I'm happy to pay my pittance even if you need to take time off.

hoss

Get some well deserved rest

That Kasey Dog

Rest all you need Funky. We love ya!

Parrik

Also bi monthly would be cool too - do whatever it takes so you don't suffer. Your health is more important than highly frequent releases. Art takes energy and it's not easy to do under pressure. We'll be here for you!

FuzzyFoxe

Since you'll likely end up doing little arts here and there, it would make sense to let us throw money at you still. We're here for whatever you do :3 You make really cute stuff~ ¦3

gkr

I wouldn't mind paying patreon money every month but only getting an exclusive every other months

peebee!!

we support you, do what is best for yourself!

Air

You 👏 deserve 👏 a 👏 break 👏 I'd still pay

tumaru

In exercise there is a deload work where you do significantly less in order for your body to adapt. Maybe every fifth or six weeks take a deload week to recover

The idea behind patreon is to give artist more freedom to do things. I'm not here to demand work, but to appreciate what you make, as well as giving you a bit of money so you can do things without pressure. Fijne vakantie!

Dawnyan

For sure take a break for yourself! Maybe it could become every 2 months - gives you more time in between? Hope you return full of energy <3

YARE217

Take your time! I can totally relate! Just recover and we just have to wait a little longer :)

aBlackMage

Hope you'll have a refreshing break!

Kris Grych

plz take your time and put yourself first! we'll be here~

HabeasPorpoise

As a patron on the monthly exclusives tier, I would have *no* issue paying monthly but only get an exclusive every other month since that would allow you more time to really focus on it rather than doing it on crunch time. Your work is amazing!!

Devcycler

Enjoy your time off!

Sharyusu

Do you have a kofi or another donation thing that people can make one time donations if they are so inclined?

Totoroben

best of luck to you!

KSE

Everybody (and everybunny) deserves some time off here and there. Enjoy your vacation!

Brocade

You absolutely deserve the time off. See you in a month or two!

Stoker

You gotta take care of you!

Sam

I have full confidence in your work that I totally wouldn't mind continuing to pay while you are taking a break. The key is knowing you are taking a break which you have told us in this post. But I also respect that you do whatever makes you feel best and if suspending things helps keep your conscience clear, I support that too.

Bravefox21

Ya I think destressing will be good even when you announced you were talking a break you just kept posting and I just kept thinking they need to slow down your post speed is amazing but slow down. But yes please take a “heathy break” this time.

OberonAelfric

Take your time. Relax, we're here for you and understand your still a person.

Alec

Thanks for taking care of yourself, and enjoy your time off! ^^

evan runge

you do a lot! I would pay the same for less! if you need to reassess the tiers it's totally understandable! rest well! : )

jayjaydeth

Wait, I've seen YouTube channels set it up to take out payments only when they release a video and not monthly. At least in the past. Couldn't you just do the same thing on a consistent 6 week basis?

Izza Frost

You got our full support- we appreciate you. Do whatever you need to do. Thank you for letting us know

Mika Ears

One exclusive every two months sounds like a good solution.

Ivan Jones

Enjoy your vacation! Can't wait to see what ideas you brew up.

Aqua

Have a nice vacation! Happy to wait for quality work

RavenWorks

out of curiosity, isn't this something that could be fixed by making it "per creation" instead of "per month"?

Support creators

Love you, wish you the best, glad you're prioritizing your health, you deserve it. <3

Rainbow Iris

Take all the time you need to rest and recharge. I wish you a pleasant and well deserved vacation.
