Background and Explanation for the Changes
Before diving into the details, I'd like to briefly explain the reasons behind these changes and system updates. The Art Plan had its merits in terms of planned artwork creation but also led to the upload of artworks that were somewhat disappointing or even discarded because they didn't fit the schedule. I wanted to create a variety of artworks without being tied to a schedule, including unique and beautiful OC artworks and various concepts like Cyberpunk 2B, Nurse Akali, and Sexy version of Fubuki. In summary, the quantity of artworks provided will not decrease, and their diversity and quality will increase. We plan to proceed in this manner for the month of October and will collect feedback from remaining patrons afterwards.
Changes in Patreon Tiers
- Closure of DRIZZLE, BREEZE Tiers: These tiers will only be available until the end of September and will officially close afterwards. This decision is made to provide greater benefits to SNOWFLAKE Tier patrons. If you are currently in the DRIZZLE or BREEZE Tiers, please cancel your subscription to prevent further charges. Individual messages will be sent soon, so please check and cancel accordingly.
- Additions and Changes to SNOWFLAKE Tier Rewards: Various OC artworks that meet my aesthetic standards, as well as original and edited versions of artworks that have undergone significant modifications, will be added to the rewards. Please refer to the details below for changes in rewards.
Changes in Artwork Production
- Abolishment of Art Plan: The Art Plan will be abolished to improve both the quantity and quality of monthly artworks. As mentioned earlier, this will allow us to provide more diverse and higher-quality artworks.
- M-version Artworks: These will be produced in two ratios, 9:16 and 4:5. I am currently researching the unique beauty captured in the 4:5 ratio.
- Artwork Naming Changes: The naming of the P&M Series will change. For example, "(P01C3) Cyberpunk Ahri" will change to "P2310_Cyberpunk Ahri 3".
Language Support
- Patreon announcements will be made in English, Chinese, and Korean. Discord will continue to operate primarily in English.
MK2 Artworks
- The MK2 artwork series will officially start in October. I have found the aesthetic prompts I want to explore, but due to a tight schedule in September, production may be a bit challenging.
Changes and Additions to Rewards
- Basic Rewards: Monthly P&M Series artworks will be provided in 8K PNG and 8K JPG files. The JPG files, which were previously provided in FHD for viewing purposes, will be upgraded to 8K for a clearer visual experience. Due to the expected increase in reward file size, the daily 4GB limit on MEGA may be exceeded during download. To address this, Zip files will continue to be provided in two parts.
- Regular Character Voting: The [Voted] Series will be discontinued, and characters selected through voting will be included in the P&M Series.
- Request Requests: Will continue as is.
- Additional Content: Artworks produced without regard to schedule, artworks with the [Re] tag, and artworks with significant modifications (Before & After) will be added.
These changes will be continually refined based on your support and feedback. Thank you for your ongoing interest and support, and if you have any questions, please send me a message.
The rewards available will be updated in Chinese and Korean versions, so please stay tuned.
