Unsure of the future.
Added 2022-08-31 09:06:30 +0000 UTCI don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I’ve lost 7 supporters this month and started the month with 19.
At this point it’s not really worth my time doing any exclusive art/Psds as I’m making 29 bucks a month.
I think I might keep this place open as a tip jar for now and keep all my art on Twitter, come back to it seriously when I have way more followers and understand it better.
I’m saying this now at the end of August so you guys can cancel today before getting charged again (I’m not here to rip you off) or change to the tip jar tier, which I would appreciate greatly.
Feedback is always welcome because I don’t really think I ever figured this patreon thing out and it’s been quite stressful tbh.

I think more fanart in future is definitely the right choice. For now it will be a tip jar as I’m focusing on other projects, so will just be whatever I put on Twitter, but in better resolution

2022-09-08 08:30:14 +0000 UTCRelease pictures here first, do more fanart, I don't know. For some it works for others not. I hope you will gain more patreons! :)

2022-09-05 15:12:23 +0000 UTCThanks for the support, I’ll definitely do more rule 34 fanart stuff in future, I think I’m just not happy drawing on demand atm. I’ll get back to making nice stuff when I get some shit out of my system.

2022-09-05 14:53:55 +0000 UTCWhile I think the other person's being a bit extreme there's certain a solid idea in there, I wouldn't go nearly so far as to say there needs to be this super strict ratio of original content to fanart stuff (especially cause I think your OCs are what I personally found more interesting to actually support you). But some rule34 content to help catch others would certainly help and then just a matter of time and having lightning strike to start seeing a surge in growth. Probably not even r34 stuff but maybe even just utilizing popular trends like the memes and such with your characters (I keep needing to actually try this more myself XD) As a fellow creator all I can really say is, stick with it, give yourself all the time you'll need and just make sure you're enjoying what you're doing ^^

2022-09-02 07:57:06 +0000 UTCI'm gunna be blunt here: you draw too many OCs (yours and other peoples' through commissions) and not enough Rule34 characters (and by that I mean popular characters). There's a reason that you see artists all snap onto new trends as fast as possible (Juri is huge right now cause her new trailer dropped) cause it gets eyeballs on their art, even insanely successful artists do this because not even they are above such a tactic. If you want to grow that's basically what you need to be doing: attach yourself like a lamprey to something bigger. You can still do OCs (I personally like your Janedo OC a lot), but ideally OC content should never exceed maybe 50% of your output. They other half needs to be Rule34 so that when people are searching that new hot trend your content comes up and then drives them to your Patreon.
