Update...

Hi everyone,

update post to let you know the latest from my world...

I'm still struggling with the commissions i started months ago; i don't have a lot of them under my belt, but the contents are quite substantial and they're keeping me busy.

However, i hope to have the opportunity to publish them in the future.

As soon as I've completed the last few commissions, i'll get back to preparing and finishing the main ideas for this platform (one of them, which i hold dear to my heart, is the idea starring Rita Loud), as well as continuing all those drawings of my favourite characters, which i've been meaning to do for a long time.

As for subscribers, two novelties:

- between November and December i plan to give accessibility to my Discord account also to "BS" (so that i will have all levels active with this possibility before the end of the year).

- The other novelty will concern "VGS" and more precisely the posting of characters of your choice.

Managing so many characters now makes it quite difficult for me to realise the idea, both for a question of context and timing.

I have therefore decided to increase the number of characters to 3, which will be chosen by drawing lots.

This should lead me to create more varied situations and... hopefully... spicier situations and a faster realisation time.

The rules of the post will remain unchanged, but i will give anyone who wants to participate the chance to give me input on the character they would like to see drawn (clothes, hairstyle, etc...).

I will also introduce exclusive polls that will alternate with the post of the chosen characters. There will be more details on this soon.

I'm trying my best but i don't know if i'll be able to prepare a new survey this month.

The reason is that... between errands, work shifts and currently my health condition... i haven't been able to finish the illustration with the character chosen months ago.

I'll do my best anyway to have at least part of the finished inking in hand by next week and create a new choice before the end of September.

But if not, know that i'll do it all in October.

Last but not least, a new feature that will affect not only my Patreon but everyone's...

starting in November 2024 and November 2025, all creators will have to permanently change their payment method to: "subscription billing".

In short, a member will pay the chosen level no longer on the first of each month but on the day they subscribed (as happens, for example, with Netflix).

Although this will not create problems or changes for those who have already subscribed, it will be a problem for those who have subscribed (or want to do so) with the Apple iOS system.

From what i have read and perceived, it was the Apple company itself that imposed this change to Patreon to regulate this type of billing on its systems... in addition to taking a share of it, eating a percentage of the subscription (with the consequence that the levels will cost more for those who use the Apple platform).

I will continue to research this and learn more... and i encourage you to do the same... but let me say this: if you are planning on signing up for my account and you have/use Apple systems... don't! 

Thank you, see you soon.
