Tier update
Added 2024-09-16 03:09:02 +0000 UTCI've talked before about wanting to open a SFW alt and branch out some, something I've secretly been wanting to do for much longer than I've been hinting at it, but always believed nobody who follows me for the NSFW stuff would care if I did that, only to draw that Pepsi Man poll pic that was probably suggested and voted for as a joke and have it not really get any less views or favs than any of my OC stuff, it really seemed like people really liked seeing me draw something different, between that and the fact that every platform on the Internet makes getting exposure as a NSFW artist way harder than it should have to be, meaning it probably would behoove me to do some stuff on the side with more of a general appeal, and would also be allowed on YouTube since I've also frequently expressed a long-term goal in having a YouTube presence, and what I'm considering for that is rants or storytime shit in voiceover while the footage is a speed-draw of something relevant to the video, that plan (the first one not the YouTube one) is now 100% on and I've already finished a small handful of pieces for it, which will be dumped soon
In the interest of avoiding any of those situations where "I found out my favorite artist made something problematic waaaah," the SFW alt will be less of a SFW alt and more of an "only KINDA NSFW" alt, so anything sexy that isn't super fetishy, something like classy pinups, would go there and all the HyperFlannel accounts would be specifically for fetishy stuff going forward. A picture of Rouge and Amy inflated would be a HyperFlannel piece, whereas something more like that pic I did a while back of them hula dancing would go on the alt, as a way of BTFOing the puritans, making sure that if the kind of people who make those whiny posts get attracted to me by a completely SFW piece, they don't get the impression that I'm a different kind of artist than I actually am, they know right away that they aren't welcome. And as for why an alt would be necessary over just putting my SFW stuff on the HyperFlannel accounts and just deciding that that handle means something different now, I also wanna avoid having someone who isn't a whiny bitch, someone who has a functioning sex drive but still isn't into the more extreme stuff, get attracted to my SFW art and then get scared away by snail butts. They should have to actually go out of their way to get to the snail butts and if they complain THEN then it's on them
The reason I feel the need to say that here is because naturally I had to consider how I would monetize that handle, my first thought being to just have a separate Patreon for the alt, while also making sure everything posted there goes up here too so anyone already pledged to this one doesn't have to pledge to another one. Very quickly I realized that that's kinda overcomplicating it when Patreon already has the tier system, any Patrons I pick up through SFW art can just pledge to a SFW tier and choose for themselves not to see the rest if they don't want to. No reason to have to post everything to Patreon twice. I say this because once I open those tiers, I'm going to want to go through the rest of my entire backlog here and re-sort all the posts so if a new Patron decides to scroll all the way down, the posts will be consistent with what tier they're in, and in the time it would take me to do that I don't want any of you to see the new tiers, and the fact that I'll probably be updating the PFP and banner to reflect both handles, and think I was rebranding or abandoning NSFW or something like that. I'm not, all things sexy is still my favorite thing to draw, I just wanna be able to draw more than just my favorite thing and put it somewhere where it isn't out of place and more likely to spread farther, that's all
