Important.
Added 2015-08-29 23:22:55 +0000 UTCI just realized I reached the 1000 goal.
Thank you all , I really appreciate it, but I bring important news that might affect these goals.
Someone sent me a message, and after spending time thinking about it, and considering all the consequences this move will have for you and me, I've decided that, in order to avoid legal issues, I will change the "main focus" of this Patreon account.
What does this mean? Like I said before, I've always wanted to expand my horizons, to draw more,to try new things, to get better. I have focused mostly in doing Pokegirls rule34 pictures and I'm aware it's the reason people know me and decided to support this project, but I think it's better for me to start giving some variety to my work, as well as working on my own stuff as soon as possible. I don't want to ride on Poke's popularity forever.
How does this affect what I'm offering? Will I stop making Pokefanart? Not anytime soon, (the goal of making full doujins is still there since its a dream of mine), but I will split the time I use to work on them, and use the other half to work on other stuff and offer a different type of content. I will post here pinups(NSFW), OCs, sketches,works in progress etc.
Overall all my regular,sex explicit NSFW work isn't going to get posted here, but I will still send you the links for you to download the pics if your pledge applies for that. Pledges that I will update soon.( I've decided I will go with the 2 weeks option.)
And more importantly, I promised to offer 2 completed Pokegirls pics per week when/if I could afford a Cintiq, but now this will change to an average of 1 completed pic per week, in addition to the other stuff I plan to draw and offer from now on.
I will post some of this other content soon, so you can tell me what you think. I wanted you to know before the pledges are processed for this month, so you can decide if you want to cancel or continue giving me your patronage.
Sorry, I understand if this is disappointing/ discouraging for some of you, you're free to cancel anytime, but it's something that needs to be done to keep things on the safe side.
Feedback and questions are welcome.

2016-05-17 00:22:40 +0000 UTCHello. Is your Patreon completely unused at this point? You don't show up on the Creator's page for donations. Is there some other website where I and others can help contribute to your art? I appreciate any reply.
2016-03-08 13:14:19 +0000 UTCHello there Terufuu. Are you still browsing your patreon from time to time? How do I get in contact with you? :P
2015-11-26 21:41:26 +0000 UTCI don't understand the legal reasons, the comment explaining is gone, also I'm not a supporter yet, but thanks to that last leak I know your patreon existed and I'm glad I found it
2015-09-02 19:02:06 +0000 UTCThey are, at least in the pictures I make. ; ) There won't be Loli.
2015-09-01 15:53:34 +0000 UTCHi, there hasn't been any content released so far aside from the MietteXAsh and the Cynthia, Dawn, Georgia pics, both have been on other sites for some time now. Unfortunately, the last one was "timed Patron only work" that was still leaked as soon as I posted it so I made some changes in the way I post content. Every pic I made troughout the month will be send to patrons at the beginning of the next month, once the pledges are processed. This is to make things fair for those people who decided to put their money on and become my patrons. I'm very grateful to them, and the minimum thing I can do is to give them early access to my work. Leaks will be inevitable, but that's all I can do. Content will be send today or tomorrow, so expect to see this content on other sites( if people don't leak them) by the end of September.
2015-09-01 15:38:37 +0000 UTCAre all of the characters depicted in your work over the age of 18?

2015-09-01 05:44:09 +0000 UTCWhen can we expect to see more content posted to Paheal? And, more importantly, how much stuff will be locked behind the Patreon paywall? You promised that there'd be a two to three week delay between posting stuff here and posting stuff on Paheal or HF, but it's been over a month since you posted on either of those. Frankly, I'd be more comfortable with pledging if I knew that you held your promises, and this news post is already making me feel uneasy about the proposition.

2015-09-01 02:20:21 +0000 UTCI'm behind you 100% of the way! I personally prefer the 2 week schedule, as long as the pricing is equivalent. Also, I have to say it's the style of your artwork that was the main reason behind my support. I love the content as well, but I'd love to see what other characters you can draw and what other ideas you have. Keep your artistic mind open!

2015-09-01 01:29:29 +0000 UTCIt was your style more than anything that made me a fan of yours!

2015-08-30 17:47:52 +0000 UTCNot a problem. If it helps you keep going, I will continue supporting you as long as I can. I love your art!

2015-08-30 10:57:53 +0000 UTCHonestly I am a little uneasy about this big change, especially after you achieved your milestone. But I definitely support your decision and understand why that's the direction you are heading. I am not sure if the style and quality of your pokegirl work will actually translate well into works from other series and OCs, but I trust you can make it work! Good luck.

2015-08-30 09:32:44 +0000 UTCIm not against the diversity... But i think you should keep doing pokegirls the most... For example something like 4 pics at month being 3 pokegirl pics and 1 from another series or original art, that way you can keep your fans satisfied and giving them a sample of what you will be offering later , expand your horizons and go slowly , but with a continued strong pace :)
2015-08-30 07:09:03 +0000 UTCSo is the problem that you you draw pokemon characters or NSFW art on Patreon? Either way, a dropbox for supporters sounds fine for now. Hopefully you still post stuff for the public on other sites.There is a lot of pokemon rule34 online, and I have never heard of someone getting in trouble for it. You could keep posting your stuff to 'Hentai Foundry' or 'Pixiv' or even start your own site.

2015-08-30 06:18:48 +0000 UTCIn terms of suggestions for alternate places, usually most artists I follow have both a twitter and their own personal website, so maybe rather than a tumblr, you could have your very own website and twitter. That's usually what I see
2015-08-30 05:42:19 +0000 UTCOh, I won't stop drawing r34 poke anytime soon, but rather, reduce the focus I put in those pics a little so there could be a better balance of content in my work. How to say it, it's more about keeping these off the radar here on Patreon.
2015-08-30 04:52:20 +0000 UTCThank you!. I will work hard in order to get better and a faster work process so I can offer quantity and quality to you.
2015-08-30 04:47:51 +0000 UTCHi, I don't want to get into it too much, but it's for reasons similar to what Ryan said in his comment. I'm no expert in copyright infringment, but I want to avoid any possible issues with copyright. Japan has it's own "rules" and is a lot more flexible when it comes to people selling doujins. Unfortunately, Patreon is a western platform, and it isn't really clear about the handling of this type of content.
2015-08-30 04:30:07 +0000 UTCThank you. I will send the Dropbox links to download the completed pics through here, but I'm still thinking about where to put previews and stuff. I was thinking about using Tumblr, but people told me it wasn't a good idea. I'll tell you when I decide.
2015-08-30 03:50:13 +0000 UTCI've been studying english for a while now, but sometimes I still have problems. I do like NGE and ToLoveRu. Bakomonogatari is famous but I haven't watched it. : )
2015-08-30 03:37:54 +0000 UTCI highly doubt that, In Japan, doujins are literally making money off making fan fiction depictions of certain characters from all different series including Pokemon without any legal problems.
2015-08-30 02:12:49 +0000 UTCTo be perfectly honest, I do think it's a bit early to branch out too much and shift the focus to other things than what the patreon was intended for when people started pledging. Don't get me wrong, but it HAS only been a month so far, and the nearly 200 people that pledged money did so with the expectation they'd be backing the creation of Pokegirl r34... suddenly switching focus like that from what they were expecting is going to feel like a letdown for many.
2015-08-30 02:02:35 +0000 UTCNot disappointed really. I mean you DID say that you wanted to draw other girls in the future like the Smash girls. I just didn't expect it to be this soon. The change from 2 to 1 average completed picture per week does sound like a let down at first, BUT, your fans have previously waited much longer for your previous work and felt grateful every time a new picture appeared. Compared to that, 1 pic per week is still worth the money. Just keep up the good work and good luck :)

2015-08-30 01:59:53 +0000 UTCI don't quite understand the line of "Legal issues" You want to change your focus but I don't see what that has to do with legal issues. Also, if you are taking more requests, I think it would help people who suggest ideas to you what things you are generally interested in, so that it's easier for many people to narrow down what requests can be made if we know what other series you like. Series such as One Piece or Code Geass or Blazblue or Persona, although Pokemon still remains my favorite.
2015-08-30 01:56:19 +0000 UTCYour art is amazing, no other reason is needed for me to keep my pledge in place but I'm wondering, where will you post everything that isn't posted here? Anyway, keep it up! :)
2015-08-30 01:02:48 +0000 UTCInteresting, so expanding came earlier than expected. Out of curiosity : is it only me or your English improved by a lot by this year ? You seem to have problems with it when you posted you works on paheal or was just not every talkative...dunno. Do you like any of given anime to draw it ( a chance for it ) : Bakomonogatari, NGE or ToLoveRu ?

2015-08-30 00:54:35 +0000 UTCI'm actually excited about the possibilities of drawing something else besides pokegirls, after all you're not quiting, your expanding the horizon and giving us much more of your great work. I am expecting from your work explicit sex with nintendo girls (maybe a well deserved crossover), since you accepted the possibility i've been wanting you to draw some girls from the fatal frame/project zero franchise by the way :D. From me you can always expect my entire support because your work is synonym of quality.
Sergio Barajas
2015-08-30 00:22:31 +0000 UTCOh I'll just keep them outside of this place, as well as any explicit NSFW content, but I'll continue.
2015-08-30 00:18:13 +0000 UTCThanks, glad to hear.
2015-08-30 00:11:50 +0000 UTCThanks. Are you expecting something specific? I'm open to ideas.
2015-08-30 00:11:49 +0000 UTCI'm ok with that. I came because of the Pokemon explicit, but you're an awesome artist, anything would be great, specially if it's Nintendo focused. As long as you continue to make my Pokemon explicit NSFW arts, I'm happy. Congrats again on the 2nd milestone reach, btw. Also, don't forget my fully nude Korrina footjobing Ash =D

2015-08-29 23:54:26 +0000 UTCIt's always a good thing to expand your style so i am not disappointed.
Jason Van Petten
2015-08-29 23:31:01 +0000 UTCI'm glad you made the change. I was looking forward for you to drawing other stuff, not that I dislike Pokemon stuff. It is the reason why is signed up. Just want some variety. :D

2015-08-29 23:27:10 +0000 UTCi'm not disapointed at all, just send me the links when the pics are ready :)
