Hey.  It's me, Mac.  I wanna reach out to any of my followers who are will to comment and reply.  

About the time of 2020, I was starting to get the hang of getting myself established with a steady way of setting my artwork as a somewhat steady income.  Though that was starting to eat into my personal free time, so I had to adjust my pricing throughout the past 4 years, and while it's still fairly good, my income in the past year has left me with little spending outside of my essentials like bills and food. 

I kinda stopped advertising my Patreon after a while due to fearing it being shut down if they caught wind of me offering discounts for my commissions with pledges, with a lot of said commissions not really viable for their platform.   

One thing that had caught my eye is just how many follow me across every site.  I'm flattered so many would  follow me.  

With all of that said, I wanna to ask you all a couple of things.  

1.) Is there anything about my usual work you'd like to see more of?  Most of my posts have been commission work, but I find myself distraught trying to come up with personal stuff to work on.  Would you like to see more personal work?  

2.) Is there any way that would incentivize you to pay for commissions or any type of monthly financial support?  I have my Patreon setup still, which is basically a glorified tip jar atm, but also comes with offering whatever amount spend to be discounted from commissions during that month.  I also technically have a Kofi, but I'm not sure if that really has a monthly payment option.  If it does, let me know, and maybe I can offer a similar discount with that, since I feel some might be wary of supporting Patreon in anyway.  Would any of you also go for Subscribstar?  I heard good things about them in terms of supporting artists.  

3.)  Is there anything outside of my usual stuff you'd like to see more of, or at all?  My horizon on what I draw has somewhat broadened over the past 2 years, though I am still with my limits.  My IP stances are still fairly the same, so not sure if that's anything to try, but don't be afraid to ask regardless.  

Sorry if this feels a bit out of the blue, but I kinda have been feeling a bit disassociated with my following of late, and I've been feeling that with art sites as a whole recently tbh.  Barley anyone comments without having some super engaging projects, and everyone everywhere is feeling kinda distant.  I can understand that people everywhere have their own lives and issues with irl happenings to be worried about, and not everyone has the means to be supporting their favorite artists every month.   Just wanted to share my thoughts and reach out to y'all.
