Downsizing Patreon Operations
Added 2024-07-28 16:06:23 +0000 UTC
Hello, Whispers, Ghosts, Wraiths, and all Patreons!
You must have been surprised by the talk of downsizing!
A lot has happened this month, and due to being exhausted from DHQ requests last month,
my activity has been low this month, as you all probably noticed.
I've received several pieces of feedback and
have decided to make some changes to the way I operate.
Along with this, there have been comments about my health. Thank you for your concern.
First, regarding requests, there have been suggestions to limit the number of requests,
so I considered making some changes. 
For example, I thought about lowering the value of Fatty Ghost,
dividing request tiers into HQ, DHQ, Doodle, and Chibi, and

raising the prices for HQ and DHQ to be closer to their original commission prices.

But after organizing my thoughts,
I suddenly started to worry: would this create monopolies?
Would it be unfair? Would it put too much burden on individuals?
Additionally, dividing the tiers would increase the amount of management needed,
and it just didn't feel right. blaBlablabla.....Uuuuuughhhhhhh...!!!


So!

to put it simply, I've decided to eliminate DHQ requests!
they take the longest time and are the main reason for my condition deterioration.
I think I was being too greedy.

Therefore, for DHQ,
I'll be handling requests at my discretion based on the submissions.
I might do one a month (woah, it's really gacha system)

Additionally, I'll be reducing the frequency of HQ requests.
First-time applicants and those who haven't received a request in a long time
will still get HQ requests,
but most will receive Doodle or Chibi requests. This way,
I can accommodate more people by choosing quantity over quality.

This applies to the series as well.
It's challenging to create HQ scenes every time,
so sometimes I might create multiple Doodles instead.
Overall, it can be seen as a downsizing....
The DHQ requests will disappear, (Very occasionally, I might draw?)
the proportion of HQ will somewhat decrease, and there will be more doodles

I hope this helps me maintain my condition and stabilize my operations.
I want to respond to your support by doing various things for you,
and I also want to add content and try different things. But for now,
I’ll focus on reducing my ambitions and prioritizing stabilization!
Ideas can be saved and used someday!

Additionally, 
I'll be restarting Lardyrinth next month!
as I know there are people waiting for it! Thank you always for your interest and support!
Anyway, starting next month, I plan to be more active than this month!
but still somewhat relaxed and leisurely.

Glad you made the right decision and decided to decrease one of the requests that was asking you a lot of effort and energy. Although I feel a slight disappointment for the DHQs, especially since I still had two ideas that I wanted to be done in your style, but I respect your choice, not wanting to ask too much of you. So, please don't be worried by my comment. ^^' But I can try with simpler ideas for the HQs, doodle and chibi, only that I will have the inspiration, not wanting to ask requests every month, only every two months. So, I hope this will help you a lot and will be better next month.

2024-07-28 16:36:54 +0000 UTCI think this is a good idea!! I was very surprised at the output you were managing to put out every week when it came to HQ requests, and I became worried that it might be overburdening. I think your Chibi and Doodle styles are still extremely good and very "High Quality" themselves, so as long as you're prioritizing your health and not going overboard with work, then I'm more than happy to keep supporting!
