I need your support! [PLS READ]

Hi dear patrons,

I wanted to ask you for something very important to me.

This is the first time I ask for something like this, but I really need this as an artist.

You know I can draw several styles, and after doing several polls, reading some DMs... I've decided to draw what you are willing to pay for, the more detailed or serious styles in general.

The thing is that those are very time and MIND consuming, it feels like a "cage", not letting me experimenting or step over to draw crazy poses or vibrant colors, and overtime it makes me feel an extreme burnout, to the point of constantly thinking of drawing but never do it because I can't draw the styles you like, voted for. So I need resting times, I don't have to stop doing what you like fr, just have some time for art I want to experiment or "resting styles" like this one in the picture.

For you to understand this better, imagine that you are a child, and you have a box of 100 colors to draw, but your mom only let you draw with 5 colors in the box, the same 5 colors always... if you use another color that day, you see one of your favorite toys vanish. So in order to keep your toys, you must keep drawing with those 5 colors.

This is translated to patreon/art/patrons

For me its very frustrating, concerning and gives me tons of anxiety, to see people going away in the moment I try to step over the usual art people pay for, and I'm not blaming you, because this is a job and I understand that if you do not like something you don't have to pay for it.

That's why I'm personally asking for a resting time, letting you know why, I want to try this style 100% this month, to see the limits, to see if... maybe you like it too, to see how far I can go, to see if I really like it a lot or it's just temporal. But that's impossible for me if I see people just going away.

I'm a human artist, maybe not the kind of artist you are used to. My passion it to challenge myself, discover new art-styles, learn and experiment my limits. This was my burden, because this society is used to a person doing the same thing forever, the call it consistency. For me that's a creativity killer, and sadly we all need money to keep drawing... so, this is a calling to try to trust me today, for a better result/art/content and healthy mind tomorrow.

I initially opened this iomaya's patreon to support my passion, drawing styles I like but as it was not working, I started again to do the same thing I was doing on NIXEU, the thing that was killing NIXEU that I'm repeating here... to literally pay my bills

I don't know, I just wanted you to know what's going on and why I'm asking for a month of support to do art I want to do, for my mental.

Thank you for reading ^^
