I'm an artist myself but it have nothing to do with this so stop pulling this "i draw for myself and dont share it with you coz you are bad ppl" bulshit. I see you all missed my point completely! I'm not talking about Aya or any other artist puting their works behind a paywall on patreon - im talking about lies and underhanded tactics to milk more and more money from fans while putting minimal effort into work.
I can open a patreon right now - give you tiers like 1$ thanks sucker 10$ you can see some previews etc. then promise "if i get 500$ a month i will do X number of drawings. if i get 1000$ i will do XX drawings! Then suck the money while posting some barely readable sketches talking about projects im gonna do when i get that XXX$ a month. then when that sweet $$ start flowing my way i will post "hiatus this month" then next month "family problems, no art!" etc. and milk it as long as i can while doing nothing. Then when that $$ go down a bit i will post a big "IM BACK AND READY TO DRAW!" and post some "projects" sketches im "gonna work on soon!" maybe even draw one or two colored drawings. money start to raise i post "tablet broken :( need donations!" and repeat everything again and again. Or im gonna do what for example Wing R's do - draw normal art then put it in a program - cut off the head without even bothering to change that happy expression on the character face and move it to the side add some shity meat/blood effect on that perfectly smooth cut rearrange the body parts then open a patreon and call it "a guro art i did!" and get 350$ each month from suckers while doing minimal work.

Artist wanna get pay for their art but they dont really wanna work for it. That's the problem. If i support an artist on patreon that promise me that he will do XXX drawing and after that he dont deliver it i have the right to be angry. If i see a promise that we will get XX thing when donations reach XXX$ and when it happens suddenly its "depresion" time and no art at all why THEN artist dont ask to be treated like its their JOB? If my job was to paint a wall and i went to work and says "nah im not gonna do it , i dont feel like it today" i would be fired on the spot or at lest not paid.
