To start off, I took a break during August, after the release of the TifaXShivah anim. I needed to figure things out, some decisions to take. I reached a conclusion just recently but it helps that I've driven away people with my lack of content.
1. Cancel your Tier 1, cause that's going away.
2. Tier 2 will not have alt/variants anymore.
I've always hated doing those, it's time wasted animating details, then spending time rendering that version, hoping there wasn't a mistake. Keep in mind, I keep 1 frame rendering at 1min or less while maximising quality and image clarity. Meaning that an inocuous 8 sec loop takes me 8 hours to render. Sometimes, this cripples my PC completely, which means I can't work on anything, or play, or even watch vids or streams in the meantime. Now add that time for every extra alternative versions I do. Yeah, you see my problem now. Not to mention, I have a certain artistic vision of what's happening in these parallel lewd worlds the characters are living in. I want to tell stories, I want to paint pictures. Eventually I want to make bigger projects (which I can't right now for lack of funds, same reason loops don't have sound atm, but it's my fault completely though), and alts plays with my time a lot, which I don't have the mental strength to deal with most of the time. I'm on the verge of a burn-out with every project because there's always that one details that stresses me out, and that makes me afraid of releasing to the public, then no one realises, and now I stress out because no one seems to care. Of course it's all in my head, but it's still a big weight. Hell, just writting this post is giving me a tough time.
3. Tier 2 will however includes the blend files from now on.
For the ones that would do it themselves. I needed to archive them just in case for a while, but never really knew how to approach the problem.
4. Consequently, to offset the loss, tier 2 will go from $5 to $4. I think it's still a fair price considering the prices of other artists.
5. For the time being, I need to fund the warchest, so I'll be a commission artist for the time being. I've had no good ideas for animations in a while that doesn't involve degeneracy so it will help to get outside people to inspire me again.
6. You don't need to stay subbed to me.
I'll quickly edit the pinned post to make people understand this. I update the password before every content release, at most once a month when I manage to release more than once in a month. You can litterally get the password for the month and wait until I release something to come back. I'm thankful for the support, but don't put yourself at a deficit, times are rough.
These changes will come by the end of the week, unless I forget, but they will come this month for sure.
When not working on any animations, or to take a break from my own creative prison, I'll be working on models. Those takes a long time though, because I'm doing everything on my own. I've recently worked on a Yuffie model, as you can see, which I need to test, so I'll be giving a 15% reduction fee on the first Yuffie commission.
Next on my model making list, Jessie and/or Madam M. I'd like to branch out into making myself some Street Fighter models too eventually. But with my pace, who knows when that'll happens.
