Some thoughts moving forward!
Added 2024-11-24 08:20:00 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I want to share my thoughts about something, and this might not be happy news for everyone.
I'm gonna be liquid here with ya'll about something that's been really egging me at the back of my mind for a while now: I want to rebrand my entire brand and product on Patreon as more lore-centric to my followers, and less bondage-themed. Let me explain.
I think...I'm losing my motivation overall for pure bondage art requests on Patreon. I'm not giving up bondage art overall but, I have to admit that it's become really tiresome and uninspired for me lately, as I feel like I haven't been doing anything new, and I haven't been feeling like I've been giving you all something new or exciting to look forward to. I want to give more fresh stuff for you all that's more long-lasting.
More importantly, I've been seeing more of my followers and friends in the community shift more and more towards worldbuilding and storywriting with bondage-aligned themes rather than PURE bondage. I have to admit, I've been more motivated to helping build good stories rather than playing it safe.
I've been losing my luster for bondage art because I have been so sidetracked with bondage art requests and promises lately that I've been losing ALL of my time to just work on my own fantasy-world. I have to concede: I don't want to keep doing this dynamic forever and I want to change something.
I think in the long-run, I want to separate my dedicated sketches on Patreon with more SFW stuff than NSFW stuff. However, I know that most of you subscribed to my art for the bondage but, if I can't keep giving you fresh stuff, something must go.
My proposal is this: dedicate 60-70% of my art to SFW while the 40-30% is NSFW dedicated. That way, I can still draw something for all ya'll fetish fans without losing out on my deeper passion of fantasy worldbuilding, and not lose my motivation.
What this means is that I will have a separate spin for NSFW art and SFW art, and I will probably dedicate more winning slots to SFW art requests. Bonus if my SFW art helps build YOUR world and OCs more outside of bondage.
If you're okay with this, please let me know. I need to know if what I want to do is good not only for me but for everyone!
Thank you and apologies for the long read!

2024-11-24 14:10:14 +0000 UTCThanks mate!~ Honestly, if it's the best way to go about things, I will do it. I may need to adjust these if I'm gonna ensure a smooth transition.

2024-11-24 14:10:04 +0000 UTCThanks for understanding, friend! And yeah, I may have to bite the bullet on something at the end of the day and be honest and realistic about this. I can't keep promising something that others have high expectations of but I can't keep up with my irl job and scenario biting more at me. It won't be a sudden change, but a gradual one. It'll be sad to let go of certain things but, better than keeping folks on edge.

2024-11-24 14:09:33 +0000 UTCI may adjust some of the proposals but we'll see. I do want to be realistic at the end of the day.

2024-11-24 14:07:41 +0000 UTCPersonally I’ll probably be bouncing if/when these changes are implemented. I love your work whether it’s bondage or world building. But I think your rewards are already very scattered and inconsistent (which you have also been very busy outside of the patreon, which is just how life rolls). I think another split in how the content works is just going to make things harder for you, and less consistent for your patrons in the long run. I think you should bite the bullet and work on what you want to do. At the end of the day you may lose some followers, but you’ll likely gain more to replace them too.

2024-11-24 13:42:10 +0000 UTCThat sounds like a good proposal to me! I was worried at first, but a 70/30 or 60/40 spilt sounds good!
