RIP my Patreon page
🕑 Added 2022-11-16 18:32:23 +0000 UTCUPD: I decided to keep my patreon page. Yes, I have no longer the opportunity to withdraw any donations, but I still do this no more than once every 3 months, so I will think of something or find someone who will agree to become my intermediary (according to the scheme PayPal ► Boosty). I just wanted to say that patreon is the only place where I feel more or less free to express myself for now. Especially given the current laws in my country. I don't want to lose access to this platform, so I stay there and continue to share my works with you ♥

Well, that day has come. Today I received a message from Payoneer notifying that from December their service will stop working for users from Russia. PayPal became unavailable to me back in March, which means that I no longer have any ways to withdraw money from Patreon and BuyMeACoffee.
I don't have the opportunity and resources to leave this country and I have no a trusted intermediary who can receive my money to PayPal/Payoneer and transfer it to me. Yes, I really want to make commissions and to devote my time to personal project, but, unfortunately, everything leads to the fact that I will have to look for a permanent job and eventually turn my creativity into an extremely rare hobby. I am considering the worst case scenario, because in the current realities, it is foolish to expect something good.
My last source of income is Boosty (analogue of the Patreon), but alas, this service still has a certain number of errors and is not always convenient to use. Fortunately, it is actively developing and it has a chance to become better by the end of this year.
So.
I will continue to publish a new content on my Patreon page until 31.12.2022, but since 01.01.2023 I will stop to recive all payments for a month and will no longer publish new content. If I don't find an intermediary for January, then I will completely deactivate my blog until "better times" and switch to boosty. 19.11.2022 (this Saturday) I'll plan to open commissions on my FA (5 headshots, 3 portraits and 2 slots for halfbody). That's a last chance to take a commission in this year and pay via BuyMeACoffee. For now, these are the plans.
Thanks to everyone who continue to support me despite all the difficulties ♥
