Merry Christmas and Happy New Year '22
Added 2021-12-24 14:02:27 +0000 UTCMy dear Patrons,
Thank you so much! Christmas and the New Year 2022 are coming and before I went to my family visit for two weeks, I want to say something:
As I planned to reopen my Patreon back in February this year I had no idea how much trouble, stress and anger this project would bring to me. I had to fullfill a Odyssey and there are still open ends with german burocrazy, what I personally don't like. But that is not important, even when german bureocratics are mostly thinking that they are the middel of the world. They are not important and their work neither. They are just a pain in the ass. (my own thought as former civil servant)
Since the reopening back in August a lot happend. Working as Artist on Patreon, which is my own Business and Income is absolutly new for me and many things, I never wanted to use Advertisments or limit my work on free places like DeviantArt, but i learned fast that exaclty that is needed, when you have to pay everything with that earned income. And so i limited the uploads on DeviantArt, censored the shown work and decreased the resolution (on DevArt) of every picture that there will be uploaded.
As long time Artist I know that is nearly impossible to fullfill all wishes the community have and that there are hights and depths. I invest an huge part of time to create the pictures and pages for you and of course, sometime I am not happy with my own results - but I do my best to show you the best quality I can make. I also try to stay in contact with you people, which is clearly said not really easy is, not only with the difference in Language. But I know that most people are happy.
As Art Creator on Patreon I've learned that there always is an huge fluctuations of Supporter over the month. Many people wrote that they did not like how I show the pictures or Comic Pages, some write that I are not that active as they wished or that the financial situation changed, mostly by the end of the month where the supporter fluctuation is at the highest. A few tried to change my own upload and content rate with their monthly support, but that is something I do not discuss and what is not payable. One or two also leaves because I answerd or reacted rude. Well, that is their decission, not mine, but I will explain why I sometimes answer or act unfriendly / rude.
Of course, not every day is the same. Some are positiv, other more or less negativ or just shit. I work since August nearly 12-15 hours every day for the comics, commission pages and Single Pictures. Sometimes, like last Weekend I worked non stop without a break to fullfill the promised Picture rate for you.
Of course the real life is also a part, no matter in which job you work or what you do. I for myself are a very active person. I support charity events, are an active Party Member of an german politican party, have my family (Parents, Sisters, Grandma) and Friends of course, my Gaming YouTube Channel an much more. Right now my main part is work for Patreon, everything else is splitted and strong reduced. Of course it could happen that I answer or act rude from time to time. I am just another human and that is natural for someone who can be happy if he can sleep for 3 or4 hours a night. I do not know when I have slept far over 8 hours, but it was before the pandemic started back in Feb 2020.
Those Pictures I (and other Artists) show you are nothing that you can create in a few minutes or hours. They take a lot of time to be createt. Often I need days for One Comic Page after It is as I want it. Just as reminder: CGI work needs a lot of Computer Ressources. Every Picture Calculation (render process) takes 100% of my computer capacity. So I pre create the parts on an old Laptop, render them on my main Computer (which is permanently active and working since Months), and overwork the finished rendered Pictures on my old Laptop again in Photoshop etc. I often heard in the last months that people don't like the idea to pay $8, $13 per month. Some also wrote that they can't invest $2 because it is so much money over the month. I never talked about that, and this is the only time I make an Exception: My income per hour lays around 0,37 US-Cent right now. For that income nobody in a regular job would work for.
And that is the point why I work like crazy, why I reduce the free pictures on DevArt or becoming angry when someone uploaded/ stole the work on other pages.
Everytime, when an huge amount of pictures was stolen, my monthly income got reduced around 40%. It take everytime nearly 2 months to rebuild and then another theft happend. I know that the Arttheft has to be an active Member of my $13 tier because he (or she) upload any PatreonContent, also Main ($8) and Second ($13) Content on multiple filehoster, share it on one or different websites. But I still don't know who - but I will find this out in 2022^^ I would wish that the person would contact me, so that we could speak about that without any anger or consequences - but I know that this will not happen and so I investigate and ban him/her out of my Page in that second I am sure that this is the right person.
So enough negative things. 2021 is mostly over and it some time for positive vibes.
I am very happy to see that there are many permanently active supporter. Thank you so much guys and girls. Your continued Support help me to pay my bills, the taxes or my rent, also to increase the quality of my pictures for you. And I have plans for more better content in 2022. But that is something I don't want to talk about until I increased or createt it. ;)
I am also very happy that I restartet to support some amazing Artists by myself. These are Sortimid, BEGrove (Litch), Schinkn and SitriAbyss. Those guys are amazing Artists and for myself, as Breast Expansion and Bimbofication lover are those Artists an must have to support. I just wish that there would be an female BreastExpansion or Bimbofication Artist that I could support.
I am also very happy that I could build up a very close friendsip to Jessy Bunny, and oh boy, her last Breast operation was an full success. Her globes was amazing before, now they are magnificant.
And now my dear friends, I thank you for your support. I wish you all an amazing Christmas time and a Happy New Year 2022. After I send this posting to you I will shut down my Computer and visit my Family until January 7. Normaly was planned that I return on January 3, but after my car broke last monday I planed to spend some time with my familiy and checking ways out to buy another car (a new would be to expensive right now) in the first January week. In that time I will just look via Smartphone to my Patreon or DevArt Pages, so it could be that answers will come later.
Take care everyone, stay safe and hopefully until next year, here on my Patreon Page :)
Yours Amaz2k12 / Jim
