There's a valuable lesson to learn here.
You do your job for several years, you finish several projects as intended, you are open about needing a break, you explain why, it doesn't help you one bit against a bunch of entitled whiners who instantly start to accuse you of just milking your patrons, despite your track record, despite all evidence to the contrary.
The art being posted means nothing, the updates on patreon mean nothing (all lies, obviously).
No, of course. You lied from the start, your every statement is questionable. It's better not to trust a single word coming from you.
What does it matter that there's absolutely nothing to base these allegations on?
It's the internet in 2019 making baseless accusations seems to be the one trend of our time.
