Prototype (color) (futanari)

Sorry. Can't say I've settled things yet. Shit's hit the fan; my life was a bubble, and if anything, I chose the right time to relax my hobbies.

Have gotten a fair bit of progress, though. Managed to settle on a better job, paperwork's slowly but steadily draining, even managed to get past my first share of COVID. Which I guess it's inevitable at this point. Not a terrible time, by the way. Nice excuse to fuck off for a bit. It's a fresh batch of problems, which is great because I'm more sick of the usual ones. Actually got sick twice. Sucked; paid too much that second time. Should've just stomached the pain; wasn't anything serious. Fucking insurance; doesn't do anything. Got rid of it. Anyway.

Something's been bothering me for... maybe years? It's probably best if I confess, sooner rather than later:

I feel like publishing two separate variants of each picture (one for each gender) is compromising the quality of my work.

It seemed like a good idea in the beginning, but I've realized since that there's something in the human brain that prevents a phallus from functioning as anything other than a central component of its piece. Either it's obvious (and jarring) that I've hidden the dick from the female variant, or the composition of the futa version is baggaged by the surplus (and loud) focal point. It's hard to find motifs that strike a solid balance, which hinders creative freedom.

I mean, it should come as no surprise that the idea of publishing actual porn has crossed my mind. But it's pretty hard to depict characters having sex when they're supposed to function simultaneously as female *and* futanari.

I think I'm going to have to put a stop to that.

Also... Ugh. This is hard to put into words.

I have resolved to believe that... charging you... is morally questionable.

I have a day job. It pays enough, but more importantly, it's fulfilling, and I'm too comfortable to quit in the name of my artistic career. You should be paying actual, needy artists. I'm a coward; I don't _deserve_ your money.

And then I realized there's actually a more pressing reason to stay on Patreon: It's the only platform that will let me post anything I want. DeviantArt and Pixiv are censorers, Twitter forces impractically short posts, Futanari Palace is in shambles, Hentai Foundry has a mod approval system (that seems to disapprove of hypermuscle), Danbooru does not allow self-posting, and buymeacoffee discriminates against porn.

I think... the right course of action is to unify all the existing tiers into a free one (with an extra one for those of you who'd feel more comfortable contributing), and stop forcing my characters to exist as both genders.

... Which... unfortunately for some of you, probably means that I will rarely draw pure females from now on. I'm sorry.

Anyway, that's the plan for now. It's not set in stone because I still need maybe a couple of months to finish all the other stuff, and I don't even know if Patreon is going to let me get away with it.

Feedback appreciated; thanks.

Update: Sorry; forgot to set the proper tiers again.
