Hi guys,
It's quite a long update, but I hope you can spend some time to understand the important upcoming changes to the rewards system here, in order to prevent future misunderstandings, especially before any recurring subscriptions to February onwards!
In the last few months, as some of you have known, I have been experimenting with opening new Tiers, making new types of contents and increasing the amount of rewards every month after considering opinions of my supportive community here, and I'm really really grateful for it!
However the new experiences though really meaningful, did also turn out to be somewhat limiting and even contradicting to my own creative workflow sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the eye-opening opportunity to even learn this about myself, what I'm actually comfortable with or realistically capable of moving forward, and I'm willing to make the necessary changes to myself, as well as improving my system to provide better contents and memories for you here, for the long run!
First of all, since beside my commercial works here, I'm still at heart just a passionate cosplayer and model, with my many photoshoot ideas I want to carry out and make time for, regardlessly of whether profiting or not. These past months I found myself throwing away chances of making contents I personally wanted to do, to prioritize commercial works for not only Patreon but other platforms as well. It generally drains me out as a creator, and with unstable mental states, my productivity tends to get more inconsistent as well. Hence the first change I would want to make is to put more personal contents to lower Tiers, so even those out-of-spite projects can seem to be more motivating to do, without compromising the amount of contents I give to monthly subscribers here on Patreon.
➡️ Tier 1 will be changed to 10 HD photos of 2 sets (4-6 photos from each set) that are completely SFW or just very mild, and can be non-cosplay.
➡️ Tier 2 will be similar, changed to 10 HD photos of 2 sets (4-6 photos from each set) that are SFW to mild, at least one of the two will be cosplay.
You might notice that there would be significantly fewer photos from 1 set rather than the usual 10 photos of a set per Tier. Simply put, it's because the second reason for these changes will be, I found myself really worn out from keeping up with high quantity of photos from each set these last few experimenting months. I generally dislike selecting and editing similar looking photos, and if you do notice from my past rewards, I tend to choose just 1 best looking photo per pose/expression/composition, unique on its own. It's just something I eventually learned about myself that I'm not comfortable with compromising.
Since it's highly requested from members, trust me I have tried other ways around it, by: doing multiple sets of outfits for 1 same character, changing the locations and setups, etc. It ended up being excessively more time-consuming and physically exhausting, and it really took a toll on my health lately. In order to be more consistent in the long run, I'll just reduce the amount of photos in a set. It also makes it more realistic for me to release contents from past sets I had photos of but never edited, since those are not of enough quantity to fulfill the Tier requirements (I can say easily 200+ backlogs untouched, 10TB+ worth of contents - I really need to start clearing them). Can't wait to finally show them off to you guys this way too!
That being said, it also means Guilty Pleasures and Guilty Cravings will bear different contents from now on (no more sets of 20 photos divided into 2 Tiers as previous months' GP/GC).
More to note for these two, I initially wanted to use different GP Tiers to make various fetishes (oil/wet skin as of now, potentially focused body parts, public/exhibitionism, @hegao, etc.) However I have come to realize it's unrealistic for me to release that amount of contents monthly on my own and with everything else I have had going on.
➡️ I will simply merge them all into one Tier: Guilty Pleasure, and the actual fetish being featured in a particular month will be announced on said month itself (can differ and won't consist of all fetishes above). It will still include 10 HD NSFW cosplay photos.
➡️ Guilty Craving will be any extra contents from all previous Tiers, all put into a set of 15 HD photos (increased from 10 as of previously). They will be the generally spiciest picks of the sets, or maybe just extra of same spicy levels (it's subjective). It means GC can now contain spicier photos of Tier 1-2-3 and GP as well, not limited to any nor to necessarily have all of them every month either.
There will also be no more selfies or selfie videos contents, for I want to keep them exclusively for other platforms of selfie contents (such as OF or F-sly). No selfies for Tier 1 and no selfie videos for GP/GC, compensated or replaced by (more) HD photos instead.
➡️ Tier 3 still remains similar to previous, consisting of 10 HD photos of 1 cosplay set. NSFW contents can be expected only starting this Tier onwards, including either implied noodles or pasties.
Starting March, there will also be the introduction of a brand new (and probably last) Tier for Mosaic Contents!
At first I wanted to have it as one of the special Guilty Pleasure Tiers, but since all other fetishes will be merged together now, I want to debut this as the most special Tier. As many might have known and seen my experimental attempts, I have been wanting to make Mosaic contents for multiple reasons for a good while, be it artistic/creative ideas or characters' niches. However I'm also the most hesitant when it comes to making this contents since it's the closest to being explicit and I'm also not comfortable with them being wildly available/accessible, so I'll be lowkey gatekeeping them for only a few supporters of this as the highest Tier here.
➡️ Ultimate MSG - Mosaic Special Goodies (S$150): includes 15 originally-explicit HD photos, with only mosaic censorship. They will be combined from 2 sets, 7-8 photos each, at least 1 of them will be a cosplay. First-timers on this Tier starting April 2025 will receive a past month's Mosaic set, alongside with a past Dessert + GP set of choice as well!
To summarize, total amount of contents sent out each month will be:
70 HD photos from 8 different sets.
With these changes I only aim to become the very best version of a content creator I can be, and to concurrently and constantly improve both my quality and quantity of creative works distributed here on Patreon.
I hope for your understanding and support, and thank you all from the bottom of my heart, for the time we have had together and to come! I'm always grateful and for you I'll always work the hardest I can!
