What To Expect: June 2022 (WITH A POLL!)
Added 2022-05-28 03:21:05 +0000 UTCHow's everyone been? I've been doing okayish; I'm finally done with going to the dentist, so that's a plus, and I've also started thinking about places I'd like to go, this summer, if Japan is out of the cards (in case they actually don't open in June; atm, it's a tossup between Vancouver, Toronto and New York City, but I'm open to other suggestions).
My Patreon, however, is not doing as good. As of this writing, I am now at $287, and this is the 3rd month in a row where I lost more money/patrons than gained. We've already posted more pages than last month, but clearly we should do something a little more, in order to bring in new and returning patrons.
That's why I'm adding in a poll; I want to hear what you folks, including non-patrons, would like to see in the near future!
Eli is already planning on doing livestreams for WIP pages for both MB/ACES (we'll probably do Twitch for those comics, and then Picarto for NSFW-related stuff). We also want to try and have a more consistent schedule so that we will have at least one new page every week, so gaps between new content will be a lot smaller.
I also have one more idea in mind, but I kinda want to hear what you have to say: Should I temporarily bring back the tier that lets people have their characters cameo in a future MB/ACES page?
For those who don't know, a long time ago, when this Patreon was new, what I used to do was offer cameos for a future MB page to drum up interest. I made it on a first-come-first-serve basis, since I didn't want the comic to be littered with cameos on every single page, but it was successful! I got quite a few new patrons, and was able to fulfill their cameos relatively quickly!
I'm not entirely sure how I would price the tier, this time around, (pending if there's enough interest,) but I'll worry about it, once I hear enough answers; atm, I'm thinking maybe somewhere in the ballpark of $50-$100, as a one-time fee, one character per patron?
Anyways, I just uploaded the sketches for the last 3 pages for ACESEXY, and they will be finished pretty soon! Afterwards, the NSFW comics we will be concentrating on will be Moonlit Grind and Fuzzy Slithers (the Val x Lydia comic you've been seeing teasers of, if you were a $10 backer)! Speaking of NSFW stuff, I'm also debating about releasing the non-comic NSFW art publicly via Eli's Twitter, or maybe an FA page, but I don't know if there would be enough interest in those. We'll see.
The next MB and ACES pages are gonna be pretty amazing, and hopefully soon enough, you will be able to see them being made once Eli starts streaming! :D
If any of you have questions or suggestions on what we could do to make this page more appealing, please let me know in the comments! :
