Poll Results + Patreon break on October

Hey everyone! First of all, as you noticed I didn't hold a poll this month mostly because I wasn't able to find time with all the stuff going on and catching up with August's rewards, however I only got four nominees which kind of worked on my favor so I will pick three of them to draw and if I have enough time I'll do the fourth one even if it's just a sketch

The winners are:
Keaton (Fire Emblem): No more details given
Diamant (Fire Emblem): Being fattened after a “legendary feast” leaves him immobile in his new legendary outfit.
Leo Valdez (Percy Jackson): Inflation with him experimenting with a machine to create any type of drink, only for the machine to malfunction and instead begin fattening up with weight gain protein shakes.
Wuyang (Overwatch): In his summer skin, his appetite only seems to be growing. His new eating habits have made him end up like a beached whale but he insists he’s just bulking. The bulk certainly seems to have gotten to him as he can’t move anymore, all he can do is eat and use his water powers to drink fattening smoothies. He secretly doesn’t plan to stop as he’s started to enjoy this lifestyle.

Now about the pause

My apologies for having so many of these updates and situations coming as of late, the least I want is to come off as whiny or something but right when things were getting better Patreon got in trouble.
For those who don't know, Patreon sent an email to all Méxican creators because it's handling some stuff with the mexican equivalent to the IRS, now all of us have to provide more personal information by Sep 28th or else after that date they will be taking even more from our money to cover mexican taxes (20% of my income will be held) and there is a chance that tier prices will be automatically adjusted to include the taxes which meant you could be charged slightly more.
Example:
Tier $5 + 16% (TAX) = $5.8
$5.8 - 20% (Held income plus TAX) = $4.64 earned
So to get the documents needed I have to do a bunch of paperwork with the goberment organization first, as you know I have been barely had time to do anything this month, knowing how slow all those processes are there is no way I'll be able to do everything before the deadline then before the month ends I'll put the plataform on pause until next month, it pains me to leave October as the month off service because I love halloween art but sadly it's what I think has to be done to give myself time to get enough time to get the documentation ready

Being honest I also have been thinking about looking for other alternatives (I have heard Ko-fi is a nice one) or straight up closing the plataform and focus more on commissions since I have noticed I have been feeling pretty burnt out for a while now and never get enough time to cover properly the commission queue however those are things I will ponder during the break but don't fret I will make sure to keep you well aware of anything that happens next, I won't be leaving without saying anything.
Either way I will focus on commissions during october to make up for the lack of patreon so by the time I'm free I'll probably do a post and will try my best to get in contact with everyone in the queue when it's their turn.

Thank you for taking your time to read this! I hope you're having a nice day
