Dokomi Trip and Tapas Revenue Updates

Not sugarcoating - I think itd be a good idea to post clearly about what ratio of OC To fanart you will post.

I really love both your fan art and OCs. I'm one of the paid members that fell off but it's entirely because I'm paying off a surgery right now and am planning to resub once that's done in the next few weeks!

I love everything you do! Honestly I wish to get my art as good as yours 😅 Trust I will be a supporter for a loooong time

老师你辛苦了🥺没想到你的背后扛了那么多重担....身体无碍吗老师？希望你未来的道路顺顺利利...还有，老师要是心里觉得这事不对劲，劝你还是不要继续下去了。要相信自己的第六感，我就是这样才会一直避开不好的事情发生。Tapas那里的情况我不是很了解，但老师如果觉得还能奋斗，我也不会阻止老师奋斗。但老师，我会在patreon继续支持你。如果老师没有朋友可以谈，或者想聊聊，我们都在的。也欢迎老师私信我xDDDDD（被打）

Im not an artist by any means, which is why I love supporting you and other artists that I love to see their amazing artworks and OCs. That being said, you can 100% do both of OCs and fanart (: i think just being transparent with communication also helps, not only with what people would maybe like to see, but also builds a relationship between artist and supportees. I think Tapas and other sites are SO hard to get by on. Even ETSY is becoming a crap source of income because of the fees they charge to the artists/creators. That being said, Patreon is still big and people supprt artists here and its viable! I love all thw stuff you put out and appreciate your communication with us. As far as art, do what makes YOU happy. Dont feel pressured to always cater to people because then you might grow to resent your work or have burnout and thats not good. Either way, ill always remain a patreon of you because regardless of what you put out, im 100% here for it! Also, I love all your OCs 😭🤌🏻 theyre precious.

So my first patreon here was for very specific content on Genshin (KaeLucKae, XiaoVenXi and Albedo/twins)... A month later I got recommended your patreon during my hunt for creators for certain ships and recognized your art from reddit sneak peaks on husbando subs and well... Happy as a crab I decided to give a shot. So far I have not only enjoy your fanart but also your OG content is nice. Also from experience as customer I like your transparency and communication. When it came on January to prune patreons I didn't like mostly because of how they handle their subs but yours never was out of question to stay. You think you slow down but you are quite active. Your art is worth it and art takes time, OG or fanart I really appreciate it. When I see a patreon notification I get happy because you and others creators made my day, be just lineart, comments, ideas or just having a fan moment of utter simping while you create. Hope wtvr you decide you enjoy, because artists do their best job while they enjoy creating and so far I can feel that joy in your creations. Love and wish you well in these difficult times 🥰

I followed you because of your hoyo content and when you started drawing more personal art or things you loved doing I wasn't disappointed. I accepted the transition and it's okay. I am kinda said it's not around as much but that's alright. I aint leaving and I'll continue to support but maybe you can do a mix of both somehow or do polls on what kind of art people like to see or ships and also other people I am subscribed to started doing polls for requests where they draw our requested ships for us occasionally in comics. I'd say just do what makes you happy but it's sad people will only support if they get what they want. Artists should be allowed to do what they want to and not be a machine.

Same as everyone, I found your mxtx art a few years ago and been following your work since then 😊 I was really excited to see your work evolve and developing your OCs stories is something I look forward to everytime I see an update! Hang in there and continue to do what you love! 🥰 As for the dokomi situation, maybe you can ask friends or mutuals that might not have booked their stay yet and resell your booking?

I just love your art. I don't remember how I found you, but I love your OCs and look forward to updates to their story. I think its just a hard time all around for folks. I know I stopped patroning some other creators for financial reasons rather than anything to do with a change in my interest. So I imagine others have as well to tighten up discretionary spending. So try not to read too much into it. *hugs*

Wow I knew tapas paid poorly but that’s actually crazy! Please don’t stop writing your stories, I adore them so much! Have you considered selling PDFs of the chapters so all the profit goes to you? Publishing an art book? Selling courses or training material on how to draw? I know I would buy all of these things. 🙏

Oh, this is such a tough situation! 🥺 Tbh I first joined here for some of your older OCs - saw them by chance, got really interested and wanted to see more! I also really love your fanart but your OCs and their stories are special to me and I'd really love for you to be able to bring those stories to life like you want to. Sending you lots of hugs 💜

My story is the same as everyone else's, I think. I started supporting you for your fanart, but I've stayed because I truly love your art itself, and I really like your OCs, too! I also think that commissions might help, if you have the time. You're so incredibly skilled, and I really hope to see you make things work as an artist doing things you love 💕 Cheering for you!

i came for hot man i stay for hot man wither its your oc or not love ya stuff

To be honest I never got a sub on patreon, I followed you on X for your HSR fanarts, but then I saw your OCs Gray and Forrest and fell in love with them. Right now I admire everything you draw reason why I took a sub. Wether it's fanarts or OC I love your drawing style 😍🥰

It's great that you wanted to be honest with us, have some big hugs here 💜 I'm the same as all before me, I came for your fanarts, stayed for your OCs and their stories! I hope that everything will work out for you because you deserve all the best! Maybe think about doing commissions? That would bring extra money? But of course it would require more work etc so only if you could manage it, without straining too much or getting too tired. You are the best and you are so talented 💜

I’m the same as Tamara - came for the fanart, and then completely fell in love with all your OC’s and their stories. You’re so good at what you do and I genuinely wish you all the best no matter what you choose to do. We all love you ❤️

To be honest i first joined you because of your star rail fanart but I’ve fallen in love with your OC’s and their story. I don’t wish to tell you what to do but i’d love it if you were able to continue with them and their story. Either way your art it beautiful. I love it 🥰

I was so excited to meet you at dokomi and spend money at your booth🥹 but i understand you. Feel you hugged🫂
