[??] Whatever
Added 2019-02-21 16:39:01 +0000 UTCTwo more new dudes I had in mind this morning. *cough (They keep getting older, it's weird.)
Rant:
I'm tired of having the sketches scheduled, but I don't want to spam randomly and I also don't want to put everything out on Twitter etc. right after I drew it. It's also nice to actually have several posts scheduled for a whole month or so. I'm majorly conflicted! ノಠ_ಠノ
When I draw something, I'm usually pretty pumped about it and want to show it to everybody right away. When I schedule it and it's being posted a week or two later, I will have lost the connection to the drawings.
Maybe I should just try to post new drawings right away here to Patreon if you don't mind. Expect random hours like in the morning when no one can comment and forgot about it in the evening (crying) XD

It's okay, I might have escalated a bit. Thanks for explaining how you meant it though :)

2019-02-22 18:02:40 +0000 UTCOne more thing. Adult characters were never interesting to me because it seemed like they could just do what they wanted. I don't like "normal/easy" love stories, yet I still want to explore different forms of affection, be it romantic, family related, friendship, all mixed together, whatever. I could do that more easily with teens because they feel strongly and don't know much about anything and aren't as formed as adults. I also like "first times" because they're exciting and I haven't had some of the more common ones myself yet. I understand that followers are more fond of adult characters since you always search for yourself in media. Maybe I'm searching for myself in young boys, haha. (I'm a little creeped out by myself whenever I have new thoughts about this.) Sorry about the lengthy answer! Had to get this out >>

2019-02-21 20:20:36 +0000 UTCThe snippet-thing has been going around in my head for some time now, too. I see others post some snippets of their patreon content on Twitter every few weeks and link to their page. I'll see what I can try. It's always a matter of time when it comes to preparing posts. Linking to a Patreon post is quick, but making a crop from an image - preferrably always the same size - and posting the link+the pic takes a few more minutes. About the followers - I don't get that many likes on sketches on Twitter (around 60?), Instagram is way more like-friendly. I think most people follow me for G&G, same as the patrons here. I feel a little torn between G&G and my other stuff because I'm somehow growing out of G&G which leads to your last paragraph! For the longest time, I was completely focussed on drawing younger boys. I still don't know exactly why. The growing up part is still interesting to me, not really knowing who you are and dealing with being different etc. I also like their aesthetics a lot. But lately I'm coming to terms with myself a bit more, accepting the grown up phase of my life and that reflects in the characters I draw. Just like you say.

2019-02-21 20:10:08 +0000 UTCI'd suggest posting a snippet from the patreon post on Twitter at the same time, with a handy little link to the full post underneath. The goal being to try and tempt as many twitter-followers into becoming patrons as possible. I mean, you've got like, a couple thousand followers, but only 60 or so patrons. There's got to be some room for expansion there. --- I find myself looking at these two (and also Phil and the professor) differently than teens smooching. With these I can actually self-insert to an extent, with teens it's more like "awww, look at those adorable little kids playing grown-up."
