Important announcement: Patreon

  First some serious talk  

I know many people don't like the word "Patreon" and even I didn't think I would use it sooner than two or three years from now, but I want to be honest with you.

You can take this as complaining, whining or sincerely talking toa friend; I'm sure everyone will see a different aspect of this whole journal and it's completely okay.

As some of you may already know, I've been struggling for quite some time with finding my "path" in life. I think I know what I want to do, but in reality I don't. I like drawing and it's literally the only thing I'm good at and if it makes people happy, I'm happy too. I have really low self-esteem and I struggle keeping up with being called an adult only because I'm not underage anymore. I wasn't ready when I turned 18 and I'm not ready now, two years later. After spending more than half of my life in school and suddenly being asked of finally do something of my own...I felt lost. School has crushed me for years and I knew I couldn't handle University, so I tried to think of an alternative road, but everything seemed out of my league.
Internet has been my second home for years and now more than ever. I've found so many beautiful people who like my art and always support me. That's why, no matter what you choose, I'll be happy either way. You have your problems too and I want you to think about your well-being first!

  Why Patreon?  

So, how does Patreon come into all this? The thing is that, even though I'm scared of even going outside of my house, I want to help my family is some way, but most of all I want to "help" myself, show that even I can accomplish something. I don't need to be rich, I only want to be happy. With your help, maybe one day I can finally stop being a burden and live on my own or I will simply come to believe in myself more to at least get a decent job!
Like a friend of mine once said "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" (I don't know if it's actually a famous quote), so I had to give it a try. If things go well, I can at least earn some dollars every month, even if it's only 1; if things go bad at least I tried.

  Rewards  

Of course there are some rewards to thank you for your monthly support! I don't really know what you like to receive when you pledge, so I'm always open for suggestions and have no problem in adding more rewards!
You will find all the info on my Patreon page www.patreon.com/tenshiyoru, but here is a list anyway:

1$: Preview and possibility to vote in monthly polls;
5$: Previous rewards, 3 High Resolution artworks, Step-by-step process;
10$: Previous rewards, 1 exclusive High Resolution artwork (that will be made public in low resolution a month later);
15$: Previous rewards, 20% discount on one commission (I highly recommend you consult with me first, because I always need to decide if I'm comfortable with a commission or not).

Let me know what you think about them and if I should change anything ^^

  To end this...  

...I want to say that it doesn't matter if you only pledge for 1$. I mean, if all of you did that I would still make a lot of money! But it's okay even if you don't pledge at all. If you like my work and want to support me but can't do it financially, you can always follow me on social media and show your love, besides spreading the word about me and my Patreon page with your friends!
This whole Patreon thing is really important to me, but so is the support you give me everyday, so only do what's within your possibilities ^^

If you want, let me know what you think in the comments and go take a look at my Patreon page when you have the time ^^ (I will make my first post in a few minutes)
