Update for upcoming month

So since we've finished our fourth comic, we spent the rest of the month trying to decide what else we could do. Also evaluating how the comic has been selling and so on. And we are kinda dissapointed that this comic isn't doing as well as the previous three. Hopefully it's just due to the idea, but we also have some suspicion its due to the silent comic, and also due to the coloring. Still, we will keep experimenting with our comics until we can get one that is suitable for our audience. Next month expect lots of ladies involved.

Because of that, i've been reading some opinions and I kinda agree. Some just want to enjoy the comics and aren't really interested in the requests. Because of that we are making a new 3$ tier that's specifically for the comic interest. In this tier, they can still view sketches, and receive the colored updates of the comic in progress without the requests being included. And this tier will of course receive the full completed comic when its done.

Also with much discussion with mkon, due to the low interest, we'll be reducing the bustshot prices back to 30$. IT was a little overcharged, for a bust shot, and also i notice this tier tends to have people pledging to it and not requesting anything. It does leave some guilt when they leave eventually and still never requested anything despite the pledge, so we're reducing it for people to be interested and please send me your requests if u do.

Last but not least, this month's requests will be sent soon. I cannot apologize anymore, it's been happening too often, but requests seem to always be done very close to the end of the month. I guess from now on, all i can promise is that they will be done in the month the pledge goes, but too many factors slow us down, such as work on the comic, waiting for requests to be sent, real life issues and such. So I also want to speed up things. Previously, I've always sent messages to the pledgers regarding their requests, and i'll have to also check people who pledge late and get their requests in. From now on, all patreons who have pledged in the request tiers, 30$-90$, please send your requests voluntarily by message to me before the 7th of the month. The reason for the long delay, is that patreon sometimes takes 1-3 days to process people's pledges, it's why i don't immediately request people to send their details on the 1st day, and all payments are confirmed by the 5th of the month, so if i need to send refunds or such, I only have until the 5th to be valid. As for people who pledge late, if you pledge any later than the 10th of the month, your request will be too late for us to start drawing on. So I will message you giving you two options for that month. You may ask for a refund, which gives u back all the money (though im not sure if it refunds patreon fees) but will also leave u invalid to receive that month's requests as patreon will consider you unpledged. OR, you can appeal for your request to be moved to next month, which i will add both your pledges together. So like 30+30 = next tier upgrade which is the full body sketch, and same with 60 + 60,  = full body colored, with extra requests permitted due to total reaching 120$. If you drop your tier/pledge to a lower tier or completely unpledge, you are still valid for requests as long as you are still communicable to me.

So yeah, a lot of changes starting next month, and i really hope we can provide you all with content you enjoy. We are still being extra careful with NSFW due to restrictions and possibility of being banned, but overall we hope that you continue to enjoy the content we produce.

Comments

Thanks for the update as always and an even bigger thank you for the new comic tier. I know I've vocalized myself on this previously but now that it's in and a thing I can't help but not express once again my gratefulness for the new option. It really was the answer I was looking for, a happy medium if you will, for my pledging and I couldn't be happier. Glad to see I'm not alone in this either. Interesting insight on the comic, when I read it myself I also didn't enjoy it as much as past iterations so I can relate to the lack in this case. It's good to see you're already onto where the faults may have been. This was a newer endeavor I remember so don't be discouraged. Through trail, error and continuous refinements I know you'll get the right formulae. I'm glad I'm now able to support it in a more direct way. I'm excited for what the next one has install for us (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ
