I quit my job today

Today I handed in my notice at work, I work 11 hours a day (minimum) and it was getting to the point where I have to choose between that and furry animations. Even though I am a little scared about it and I'm nowhere near my planned monthly goal, I'm putting my trust into Patreon and you guys.
This will mean I will have a LOT more time to dedicate towards animating. Currently I can only spend about 1 hour of free time per day on my animations. So you should notice a huge improvement once I go full time!

However due to my shitty contract, I have to give them TWO MONTHS notice, meaning I won't be able to go full time furry till June. Until then I will be planning this transition, my current ideas are way more streams, longer animations, more characters and sticking to a weekly schedule which I'll post at the start of each month.

If you guys have any questions or suggestions that would be much appreciated. I'm incredibly excited to give this a shot and I hope you are too!

I would like to have the balls to do that.
Success in your future projects.

Damn, I know how it is to work for a shity employer and I hope you will manage the rest of the two months without too much pain.

But then again, trust me when I say this, donation won't last forever, that goes double for the furry culture, WHICH to be honest, can flip their attention to something/someone else in a short notice .

If I were you, I would take up a part time job, like maybe just 40-50%/24h of work a week (4h a day), that would also give you time to work on animation and what you love to do.

This way you would have a secondary  paycheck over your patreon if that ends up in the shitter.

Hell, if you search around, maybe you can mange to find a job as an animator, rendering, etc for a company. Two birds in one stone.

I'm looking to furries like Fek who have managed to be incredibly successful. I haven't dipped down in Patreons since I started a year ago, so I'm hoping it will be reliable, at least for a while anyways.

I was working as an animator while working on furry animations, the two don't go as hand to hand as you might expect sadly.

I'd say good luck, but I think we make our own fortune, for the most part.
So instead I'll say that I hope it works out for you! :-)

You may want to add Patreon and Twitter (and any other relevant links) to your profile's contact details section, as it's easy to miss old journals.
