Information Notes : MAY

Hi everyone, I hope you're well !!

Last month was a bit complicated for me, as some may have sensed from the slowdown in my posts. That said, things are improving this May, and I'm slowly getting my creative juices flowing again!

I recently published the final illustrations for the story "Be My Valentine" featuring the orc Borz and the minotaur Boros, and I'm already preparing those for "No Nut November" featuring Boruk the orc and his companion Jonathan. This is the perfect time to give me your feedback: a like, a comment, a reaction, even a simple one, means a lot. It's thanks to you that I can adjust, refine, and develop my work in a direction you really like.

Don't hesitate to stop by Discord either! There's a free channel in the ADGames - Art => adg-discussions-suggestions section dedicated to this kind of discussion, and many other channels you might like ;)

As for the sequel to "Spring Party," with a very close result of 51% to 49%, you voted on April 15th for Rigur to bring Barry home... and from my point of view, I can tell you that this sequel is going to be very exciting. I took the time to think about the storyline, and I can tell you that it's going to be the hottest series I've ever done (you're not ready... Barry isn't either, and neither am I, for that matter xD).
I start producing the scenes just after NNN.

On the agenda: belly growth, oviposition, egg-laying, lactation, voyeurism... and many other surprises! Believe me, Barry doesn't know what's in store for him. He's not going to have a peaceful pregnancy, and his apartment is going to see all the colors 😅

As you know, I'm juggling several projects at the same time: some are on hold, others are progressing slowly, and some... remain secret until their surprise reveal (I'm keeping a few cards up my sleeve 😏). For those who want to follow this closely, my Trello is updated regularly.

A quick aside. Sometimes I get a little carried away and talk about projects that are barely in the making, because I'm so eager to share my ideas with you. If some announcements seem rushed, it's just my enthusiasm overflowing. Thank you for your indulgence and patience ❤️

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the commission survey 😄! In February, more than 80% of you were in favor of implementing them, which is very motivating.

When everything is ready, I'll get back to you to share the details. I can't wait to offer this in the best possible conditions!

Before concluding, I'd like to address a slightly less joyful topic. I've been informed that my works published on Patreon are quickly republished, without my permission, on pirate sites. On the one hand, I could see this as a form of recognition, but deep down, it's still problematic. It directly impacts my income, making my financial stability more fragile.

From the beginning, I've always made sure not to increase the rates for my tiers, despite the increase in my personal expenses. I make this choice out of respect and gratitude for you. But I also have to be transparent: if this kind of practice continues, it could have an impact on what I'm able to offer here.

That said, there's also some excellent news: more and more of you are supporting me! Even though I've noticed occasional drops (particularly in the last three months, which given the global geopolitical context seems normal to me.), the trend over the past six months has been very encouraging. Your messages, your presence, all of this gives me the energy to continue.

So from the bottom of my heart, a huge THANK YOU. Thank you for your encouraging messages, both privately and in the comments, thank you for your feedback, your likes, your constructive criticism, and your generosity.

Take care of yourself and your loved ones,

With all my love,
