End of the year review poll

woah, its been a year already. what a year its been, am i right.

🟦🟦🟦

i decided to attach a poll to this post, so if you dont feel like reading my annual musings you can just go to the poll to rate the content and leave a comment if you want to let me know your thoughts - what you liked what you didnt like and what you want to see more or less of etc.

this years been a bit of a mixed bag for me. had a few significant things happen and a few still left to do. had to move, PC exploded, curveball of getting a new pet, have still to move off of windows and try out clipstudio paint or some other art software. because of these i ended up losing quite a few weeks of work i feel but things have stabilized by now.

commission queue still has some ways to go, i think theres a few months of commissions left before i consider getting more. had started doing doodle commissions and theyre ok but ive still to figure out a better system. theres been a steady interest in sponsorships which kindles joy for me. will see how it all continues into the next year, ive made a trello board to try and track things better as my spreadsheets have started to fail me.

i had some plans on what i wanted to work on this year and i feel like most of them i missed out on but it is what it is. there have been some plans/connections made which would help in pursuing these plans but i dont really want to talk much about it at this early stage. the short of it is i still want to work on comics and learn some 3d to help with scenes and lighting references among other things.

speaking of plans ive amassed a staggering number of ideas for things to draw and i think ill try to not write down any more and wade through what i have and see where that goes.

lastly since i havent had any real breaks for a good while ive been thinking of taking about a week off around new years - not like a week of no work just a week of not thinking about patreon and paid obligations and mess around on the side probably doodling or trying out drawing software that sort of thing - its not a burnout just feeling a bit tired is all lol

high roller. like with jiggly's feedback i think ive been losing the balance of stuff i find fun to draw (which does not necessarily have appeal to a lot of people) and stuff thats more appealing to more people. thats a garbled sentence but hopefully it makes sense.

fair and honest review. will see if i can find a better balance of content thats more generally appealing and stuff that i find fun to draw.

10 favorite finished works - Absol, Angewomon tiddies, beach Toriel, Croc, Hervy - comm, Judy arrest, Linna, Mal0 movie, Michire goblins, Rachel date 10 favorite doodles - Croxigor flails, Deathclaw booth, dc big pussi, dc Serena beach, dc Slugma party, dc Thava df, Purgy df, Sam et, Sona ww, Water Horse hole Output frequency: 10/10 - you put out a lot of content despite all the problems that plagued you. Incredible you got even this amount of stuff done. Quality: 10/10 - doodles, sketches, hi-res - all great looking. Would like to see more: Xayah's Mom, HoMM Lizards, Lamias/Nagas, MILF body types Would like to see less: I don't care for the Sing characters/Porsha - its what you're into so I'm not going to harp beyond this.

The past year has been a bit of a twofold situation to me. I think there's been some alright changes such as opening up doodle commissions for people who can't or won't commit to a full picture. The output has been consistent and the content pipeline keeps on going. I don't remember if polls were a '24 or '25 thing but they're a good addition. However, I find that from my perspective the 'value' proposition as a patron has been going down somewhat. There's been talk of several projects that I'd personally like that never had anything become of them. Some things, like urethral penetration, are growing over-represented and therefore becoming somewhat stale. The amount of art that I have also found appealing has also been decreasing year on year; besides the annoying ever-presence of Porsha and Sing content there has been an uptick of pieces with elements that you find interesting to draw which, aesthetically, I find to be varying degrees of unpleasant to look at. In a way I do think I may be steadily departing from the bulk of the audience whom seem happy with it. Overall I'd give this year a 6/10; slightly above average because you clearly work hard and there's been some neat changes but the actual substance of the content delivered I find myself increasingly disinterested in. Also no Halloween Ars Goetia two years running now.
