gather feedback
Added 2025-01-23 21:22:14 +0000 UTCI’d love your input on what kind of exclusive content you’d like to see from me! here are a few ideas I’m considering
1 Alt Versions: Multiple variations of the same artwork (e.g., sex, after sex, cream, etc.). Typically 3-6 versions per piece
2 SFW & NSFW Versions: Art with both clothed and unclothed options, useful if I want to keep nsfw exclusive. Some pieces could also include alt versions from Option 1
3 Set Series: Like the Sylveon set I did, with multiple illustrations of one character. Public versions plus exclusive extras
4 Comics: I’d love to practice storytelling and update short series one page at a time. Think ongoing projects like those some artists do
5 Sketches: Quick and simple sketches—OC or fanart. I could produce a lot if there’s interest!
6 Animation/Live2D: Haven’t started this yet 😅, but it’s a skill I’d love to develop. It could add tons of value in the future!
7 Monthly Character: I used to do something similar early on, but it didn’t suit me as much back then. Still, it’s an option!
I’ve posted this poll on Patreon and Discord for convenience. Feel free to vote where it’s easier for you! You can choose multiple answers, but if you select everything, I probably won’t be able to do it all 😆. so, pick one or two/three options you’re most interested in seeing!
I think I’ll keep using polls like this to gather feedback since I’ve noticed people don’t usually comment on posts to share their thoughts. this way, it’s easier for everyone!

The animation is necessary but almost secondary, and without good sound, the original art is often more enjoyable than the live 2d version)

2025-01-24 21:17:23 +0000 UTC(sorry for the spam, I'm on phone and apparently you cannot have paragraphs on phone, it directly submits the comment) I would honestly really enjoy image sets from you, but the other thing I would really be glad to see would be messy (that is to say, with cum) edits of some of your existing works. 😊 I really like images of afterglow and happy creampies.

2025-01-24 21:10:03 +0000 UTCI think that the comic made that quality stand out even stronger. So, would love to see more comics from you if you decide to make some!

2025-01-24 21:06:14 +0000 UTCThe defining characteristic I associate with your art is a sense of intimacy. Don't know how else to explain it, but there is a very sweet, intimate, loving atmosphere to your work.

2025-01-24 20:49:19 +0000 UTCoh, yeah, just wanted to drop this here, Im mainly collecting info, so I’m not necessarily planning to follow the top-voted option! I really love reading your thoughts, and if anyone leaves a comment, I’ll do my best to reply sincerely. so feel free to share, and I’ll definitely respond!

2025-01-24 17:13:06 +0000 UTCohh Im honestly surprised, you might be the first person to write such a detailed and thoughtful message like this! 😊 I didn’t expect this level of engagement, but it means a lot, so I want to reply sincerely Comics ty you for your kind words! comics take a lot of effort, but they’re something I really enjoy working on. Interestingly, when I promoted my last comic, it brought the biggest boost to my Patreon members since I started 8 months ago. It’s made me realize how much good promotion (and maybe some clickbait) can help. I want to try longer series (10+ pages) instead of shorter one-shots Sets I appreciate your idea about making older sets public after a while—it seems like a good way to balance exclusivity while attracting new supporters. I’ll definitely keep that in mind Alt Vers this is actually my least favorite option.... I agree about varying expressions, it’s something I’ve noticed too. as for the super detailed alt sets with endless combinations, I personally don’t find them that interesting (and Im definitely not diligent enough to make 100+ alts🤣) I’ve been running my Patreon since March, and after July, Paid member numbers have stayed steady at around 40. comic promotion did boost engagement, but since then, it’s been a balance of ups and downs. this poll is really just a way to gather feedback, it doesn’t mean I’ll strictly follow the top-voted option, but it’s helpful to know what members are interested in. funny enough, alts (my least favorite) seem to be the most popular option😂 since I started drawing as a job, I’ve been exploring what works best for me. while I don’t have a favorite type of content, I do want to experiment and grow. seeing good engagement and feedback keeps me motivated, even if it’s not always easy. Im trying to find a balance between what I enjoy and what supports my work, my “sweet spot” ty you so much for sharing your thoughts! your input is incredibly helpful, and Im looking forward to experimenting and improving from here!

2025-01-24 17:10:53 +0000 UTCHey, I really liked the comic you did. Black and white is perfectly fine for those comics, and it was really enjoyable. However, even though I love to see those, I realize they might be the hardest to do. Sets are also great, and I think a good option. The unfortunate part is that unique poses of your art will be hidden behind a paywall, so you should probably consider making old sets public after some period of time. This probably helps with attracting new supporters, too. Alt versions are the most popular thing that artists do. It gives a good balance of everyone seeing at least the base version of your art, and then supporters seeing the alternative/messy versions. With alt versions, the only thing I would ask is to consider changing the expression of characters between alts. When the expression is static, but there's supposed to be an orgasm or something like that, it just feels really cheap and unsatisfying. Some people go hog with alts that add accessories like different clothes, piercings, or other similar superfluous things, some going as high as 40-50 alts per image. Honestly, that's overwhelming and, to me, feels very silly. Doing 2-5 high-quality alts with different expressions is a thousand times better than doing 50 combinations of different Photoshop layers and the same expression. From my perspective, three things make me want to support an artist: - I like their base public art - the more of it there is, the easier it is to see if I'll like the artist - I enjoy seeing messy alts, sets, or comics. I'm willing to pay for that. - It's really important, however, that it's easily accessible - providing archives in Mega like you do is great because going back through an artist's Patreon to get older stuff really sucks. The Patreon interface is atrocious and slow. Looking forward to what you decide to do, and thanks for all the great art you've shared!
