You know, I don’t know where people like you get off thinking they know every detail about my financial well-being. 

You act as if the Patreon money is my only source of income. 

Well, here’s a news flash for you.

Aside from the Patreon money I get every month (and $400 is a lot all things considered), I also take commissions. Commissions next to my Patreon income definitely add up to well over $400 a month. I’m not disclosing those figures though, because honestly it’s none of your damn business what I make and what I don’t make.

Second, I don’t know if you specifically know this or not, but I’m an audio engineer, and surprise surprise, I do work for that on the side too.

And guess what.

It pays money. 

So not only am I making money doing what I love with drawing, but I’m also doing audio work on the side for some very talented individuals whom pay me to do it. 

So I have my financial bases covered. 

As far as your crudely presented advice on expanding my audience and “Less Bitching”, I have every right to vent off my frustrations with serving a niche. What gives you the right to tell me what to do or not do? I have a fan base that’s more than understanding whenever I need to vent, and in the end they help me realize that I’m doing something incredibly unique for a niche community that is drastically under-served. 

I take a lot of pride in that, and no amount of aggression from people like you could ever stop me from realizing that fact. 

Also, I do run other art blogs on the side that do very well for themselves outside of the AmazinArts channel. I am also planning on setting up another channel for more art that is accessible to other viewers who aren’t into the Grim-Dark aspect, but that’s no thanks to people like you. 

So TL;DR, and FYI, I make enough money through my freelance endeavors to support myself so thank you for your concern, and no, I won’t stop bitching and doing the things that I love. 

If you were any true fan of mine, you’d understand this. 

Have a good day.
