New Year's resolution + Future direction of my Patreon
Added 2018-12-23 01:38:28 +0000 UTCI legit wrote a small essay for what I want to say here, but it was way too much even for me, so I'll give y'all the highly-condensed version, lol.
I've given this a lot of thought recently and with 2018 coming to an end, I'd like to make some more changes to the purpose of my Patreon and the rewards that I offer. Ultimately, the very short summary is that I want a source of income that supports everything I do, not just fetish content, not just OC comics, not just a monthly vote featuring random characters.
I genuinely want to make a living off my art, but I want to do more than just fulfill a monthly quota like I do now, I want to know that I can draw whatever I want, have fun, and make money. So, to achieve these goals, I've compiled a list.
Staring January 2019, the following changes will be in-effect:
- REMOVED - Press's Picks Vote, instead I'll produce fanart and OC content at my own pace, including full pics, various doodles, and short comics.
- REMOVED - $10 Tier Commission discount, nsfw content is in a really scary spot on the internet at the moment, so I'm going to remove this perk until I feel comfortable offering commissions again. Until then, despite the disclaimer, it feels like false-advertisement.
- NEW - NSFW options, I'm going to experiment with creating alternate versions of finished pics, such as lingerie and nude variants. This will hopefully add more value to each picture while also drawing in more people to my Patreon page. I'll provide more details at a later date once I figure out exactly how I wanna do this (I'll probably make a poll at some point).
Hopefully most of you are okay with these changes and understand where I'm coming from, but if you feel like you're not getting your money's worth by continuing to support me, then I understand that too. Whether you stay or leave, I'm thankful to all of you for helping me get this far and I'll continue to try new things until I find something that works.
As some closing thoughts, I've missed far too many personal deadlines these last few months, but I'm going to do my best to whip myself into shape with the start of the new year. December's content will be coming this week (Evelynn + Kat & Elara Christmas comic), I'm sorry it's taken so long and I thank you for being patient.
With all that being said, I hope you all have a good time during your holiday and new year's celebrations!
