TL;DR at bottom.

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing fine today.

I wanted to make a new post to talk about some important changes that will be coming to the page very soon.

I want to be 100% honest and direct with everyone here as well so please read the post if you can rather than skipping to the TL;DR.

For a while now my page been falling off in terms of subscribers and I have tried various methods to try and help my Patreon page work out better.

Unfortunately most solutions have failed.

Being 100% honest, I have lost a LOT of subscribers and 50% of my previous earnings that used to be stable.

Usually I give things time, but it's been a little over two months and I have a lot of noticablely not-so great differences.

When I had my old style, it did bring a lot of viewers and likes but the issue with the style is that i was too "cute" by default and drove a lot of potential away. This was the biggest complaint I had through any feedback on that style, BUT the style was stable for over a year in terms of users and earnings.

Another issue with the older style is that it failed to convert users into subscribers.

Another issue is the style was in an outdated engine, without a clear way for me to bring it back properly to the new engine. This forced me to look for a new style.

Not to mention, the old style caused me major burnout, I was posting daily for over a year and for things such as monthly comics, I spent over 10+ hours in a single day every month just trying to complete them (and other things) and the overall art process was not worth the amount of effort I had to put in for such small return overall. It was even worse since I have a full-time job as well and other life priorities. (partner, family, etc)

My current style helped as a solution to many of the problems I struggled with before.

The issue is now the current style has changed my page (for the worse) over-time.

Just like many other artists that have worked with AI, I will be swapping styles yet again. I was hoping to NOT come to this solution, but it's pretty much the only way I can try to get more viewership and make content creation worth the time i put in.

I do love to create content for you guys, but I have to make sure I also am satisfied knowing my page is converting my time into something that can benefit the multiple hours I sink in.

I did NOT expect my current style to fall off as hard as it did in such a short time period. It was good for around a month or a bit over that, but then pretty much became a dumpster fire.

If you wish to view my new style, check out my latest Zani pack here: (Link)

Since it's near the end of the month I think it's good to announce these changes currently. Since MOST of my users (you guys) are subscribed at the beginning of the month and can choose to stay or leave as you wish.

There will still be this month's premium pack and mystery drops in the current style.

Please consider voting for it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/premium-pack-for-131501825

Next month and forward this will no longer be the case.

This post WILL BE PINNED for a few WEEKS, so PLEASE read it.

The page will eventually have art only of the newer style in posts and no longer have the current style.

I do apologize to everyone for the inconvenience and sudden changes yet again, but I try my best to find solutions and adapt. I did ask multiple times for feedback on here and publicly, to no avail as well and this is the most direct approach to the issue.

These changes will be 100% in effect after the beginning of the next month. I will post newer-style images as well as current styled images until then.

Also, all of the current style stuff WILL be moved to a new tab in the collections: "Cartoon Style Content"

This will include all my current style content EXCEPT the premium packs since they were an exclusive for anyone in tier 2. Please consider downloading them as these posts WILL be deleted.

Only cartoon-style premium packs will be gone, this is to save space and not create too many collection tabs. They will be available for download for a short while after next month and then will be deleted permanently.

TL;DR - Patreon page is failing horribly in terms of viewership/subscribers for the past 2 months, style change will occur again to (hopefully) help this issue in the beginning of next month.

First poll for character voting will take place on June 1st 2025

The old style I was a big fan of, so was sad when it went and the new style I didn't like too much so that's why I un subscribed, but the new style you are showing I like a lot so will be sticking around

1. Old engine that required a lot of effort which is WHY posts were slow 2. The style brought no new users in, only old ones which was nice but the page could never grow. 3. The older style was too difficult to manage 4. The older style was too "cute" and drove away many users. A bigger reason I changed was for convenience and to have an easier time not wasting 70% of my day doing art. Which the older engine+style was not capable of.

I honestly never understood why did u change ur previous style tho it was my all time favorite, the face expressions were my favorite although it did look kinda "cute" in some way but still did like it a lot I even go back in ur page to see that style, the ONLY problem with that style was the quantity of images I just felt it wasn't enough.. although this new style looks solid.. how many images are we talking about with each set? Hopefully they won't get pretty repetitive as I've seen in ur current sets NOT ALL OF THEM like some backgrounds for example theres some really nice sets like the Dva, Yae Miko and Lucoa great sets that had some differences from the others. I'm just being completely honest because I really like ur work I've been coming once in a while to see what's up with the page. I'm sorry how things are going but hopefully it gets better 4 u l. Greetings!
