Hey guys,
Thank you for all patrons that has been supporting me all this past months or even for those who are thinking to support me in the future via Patreon!

It's been a great help for me financially and emotionally. But unfortunately, I really need to close down my Patreon for a while, or maybe for a long time.

I'll revert my Patreon account to patron-only for the time being.

Basically my reason to close it down was pretty much because I'm at the point where I'm still searching where I really wanna go with my art (or skills in general). I already know that I'm going to pursue my original art from now on but that's still pretty much scratching the surface of my real desire.

There's so much thing that I wanna create and I may ended up not creating/finishing anything while pursuing that. It's becoming more and more conflicting with the Patreon where I dedicate myself to finish at least 2 personal artworks a month.

It's just impossible to change the reward throughout the months to follow my impulsive experiments so I'll just take it down until I really know what is the appropriate rewards for my Patreon.

Aside from that reason, as I make more original art and basically building my own Intellectual Property (IP) from now on, I really concern about the fact that I really need to care about protecting my own copyrights by not making my full digital copy available as a reward. Instead, I'll try to build my products around that so that you all can purchase & enjoy it later!

Although you can't directly support me financially via Patreon anymore, you can still support me by spreading a word, sharing, and appreciating my artworks in my main art channels (DeviantArt, Facebook, and YouTube). Btw my new PC is almost ready to go so that I can constantly create speedpaints and occasionally do livestream (if the connection allows me) again.

Talk more about pursuing original art. You all probably won't see much fanart from me anymore in the future. But I hope that's not the sole reason why you're following me here.

You know, I just realize that doing more and more original art makes me becoming an artist that I always want to be. I finally can stop comparing my art simply because I'm the best when I do original art and no one can do it better than myself.

I never feel depressed anymore on the fact that I'm no where near that godlike artists because I'm creating my own thing and walking on my own path now. I stop looking on what's popular and looking on what I really wanna create instead. It's just incredibly rewarding and I'm addicted to it.

I'll make sure to work really hard so that my original art becomes something meaningful to me and hopefully to anyone who's been following my art too.

So yeah, that's all and thank you for listening my little talk here!

Do you have any plans on making commission in near future(I've read the journal)? Do you accept payment via Maybank?
