April 2024 Monthly UPDATE

Time for the Monthly Update! News of talking about how things are and what subscribers can expect coming up!

I should probably start with the latest startling news about what's happening with Patreon.

PATREON IS NUKING NSFW ACCOUNTS

I did hear the news about many NSFW furry content makers getting their accounts nuked without any kind of warning or appeal. I don't know the whole logistics or reasons behind it whether it's some new vague guidelines that Patreon has put out recently or that they aren't adhering to their own rules. It's unclear. And I don't trust Twitter news and hearsay about what is or isn't permitted. However, because I rarely draw NSFW content...

I SHOULD BE SAFE FROM THIS... FOR NOW

I don't draw that much NSFW to begin with and typically when I do, it's not even full hardcore sex or anything. It's more tasteful nudity and some breast squishing.

However, that doesn't mean that they still won't come after me later for some other BS reason. Patreon already doesn't like hypno content (which is the majority of what I draw) and they may take my cartoon-ish kink illustrations as some kind of non-consensual sex thing. I may need to start prepping a backup of some kind.

I'M NOT JUMPING SHIP, BUT I'M PREPARING THE LIFE RAFTS JUST IN CASE

Because I mostly draw cartoony SFW stuff, I don't have to immediately leave Patreon. But because if somehow my account DID get nuked, I would take a MAJOR financial hit. I've seen many people recommending and even a few friends suggest using SubscribeStar. It would probably be in my best interest to make an account there and start posting there as well. I don't know when that will be exactly, but I will make an announcement when I do. I estimate sometime before summer.

btw I would LOVE to hear your suggestions on this if you guys do have any. If you can think of a good alternative, believe me when I say I'M ALL EARS!

When it's open, I will start posting both THERE and HERE. I'm not going to stop using Patreon. However, when it comes to the matter of NSFW content...

I WILL NOT UPLOAD ANY MORE NSFW THINGS TO PATREON

All Early Access and wips/sketch NSFW content that I draw will ONLY be available on my Discord server until I get my SubscribeStar account made. When I have it running, I will upload all the same things to both Patreon and SubscribeStar with the exception of all NSFW things going ONLY to SubscribeStar. I will announce through Patreon if there is an NSFW image to see on my Discord and SubscribeStar, but I will not post the picture. On top of that, I may also remove some of the NSFW images I have posted here too (by now you can find them on my Fur Affinity).

If you are a paying patron of mine and are not a part of my Discord server and would like to be without going through Patreon's system, EMAIL ME HERE: lagergoatystudios@gmail.com.

I don't always see the Patreon chat messages, but I always see my email notifs.

ON A LIGHTER NOTE, THE SYLVEON STICKERS WILL BE HERE BY THE 8TH!

I should be getting the Sylveon stickers THIS Monday. I'm also getting a fresh batch of Vaporeon stickers too! Once I get them, I will be posting them to my Ko-fi for purchase!

I'm super excited about this guys! Like seriously!

And you know what else is cool? Everyone in the "I Kid You Not" and up tiers will get to vote on which eeveelution sticker they'd like to see next! ;)

Sorry for the small bummer announcement this month guys. It sucks so much seeing so many awesome creators get their livelihood just snatched away from them like that by stupid puritan greedy corporations. While I don't think it's as likely for me, I still want to take precautions anyway.

As always though, I love all of you so much for still sticking with me so far ^^ I've got a lot of good pics I'll be working on this month so stay tuned! I shall be showing some cool wips VERY soon!
