🎉 1 Year on Patreon – Thank You! 🎉

WALL OF TEXT AHEAD! 

It’s been one full year since I started this Patreon.

I launched it quietly last April, unsure if it would go anywhere.
At first, I barely posted… but some of you asked for more.
So I gave it a real shot, and things started picking up in May.

I never expected this to work, but here we are.
If you’ve supported me in any way over the past year,
thank you for helping me get this far.

🟢 25% Discount – All of April

To celebrate the 1-Year Anniversary:
25% OFF Tier 2 – All Month Long!

• Valid for monthly or annual plans
• Applies to first month or first year only
• Available for new and returning members

🎯 Character Requests – Round 9

Character requests are back for April!

• Tier 1+ → 1 SFW character per month
• Tier 2+ → 1 SFW or NSFW character per month
• One request per person
• I decide everything about the artwork – no specifics, please
• Submit through the pinned request post

Thanks for keeping it fun and interesting every round!

🗳️ Character Spotlight Poll

One of the newer ideas that stuck is the Character Spotlight.

• Monthly spotlight poll for all members
• Winner gets 3–5 artworks
• Free members get 1 artwork
• Tier 1+ gets spicier or extra versions depending on tier

I might try other ideas this year too, maybe even this month...

🧪 Experimental Artwork

Sometimes I test different editing styles or vibes,
and post them in the Experimental collection.

It’s something I do when I have the time
or want to try something new.
A way to grow while keeping things fun on the side.

You can find them in the Experimental tag or collection.
Let me know if you enjoy these kinds of posts!

🤖 AI, Tools & Creative Fuel

AI is the core of what I do.
Without it, none of this would exist.

But without editing, creative direction, and years of experimenting,
I probably wouldn’t have gotten this far either.

I use Photoshop and plenty of other tools when needed, editing,
to clean things up, enhance details, and bring everything together.

These tools also cost money to use.
Monthly. Yearly. It all adds up.

I get inspiration from all kinds of places:
anime, games, movies, shows, virtual photography, even real-life photography.

I enjoy doing all of it.
Each one helps me improve the others.

But the truth is... hardware becomes a bottleneck.
AI image/video is growing fast, and I want to explore it all without limits or slowdowns.

Right now, it’s way too slow on my current setup for most of it.
Which is why I’m planning a full PC upgrade, 5090 and more.

But the cost...

Hopefully I can make it happen later this year.

💼 Business & Life

I registered my business earlier this year.
It’s still new and a little scary.
There’s a lot to handle, but I’m getting there.

Last year ended with some tough health issues,
and I just got more bad news last month.
There’s more to manage now,
but I’m pushing forward and doing what I can.

Your support helps brighten things, truly.
So thank you.

💬 About Comments, Replies & Lurking

I read every comment here.

But replying hasn’t been easy lately.
I’ve had a lot to manage, work, health, and everything else.
And being introverted, replying takes more energy than people think.

It’s something I need to improve,
not just here but also on social media,
where I’ve barely responded at all lately.

Please know I still care and appreciate every message.
Even if I reply late (or not at all), I see you.

And if you’re just here to lurk quietly — that’s totally fine too.
Talk if you want to. Stay chill if you don’t.
You’re still part of this.

🫶 Thank You Again

I still can’t believe it’s been a full year.
All of this felt impossible, until it wasn’t.

Thank you for being here.
Thank you for supporting me.
I hope I can keep creating content that’s fun, unique, or worth your time.

Let’s see where the next year takes us.
