Comic Sneak Preview!!~ *Spoilers for those who want to wait!!*

Hey!! The comic will be done here in just a bit, but I wanted to give you all a sneak peak!~ ;3

I tried my best to hide it for those who don't want to see it before it's finished, so don't scroll down if you want to wait!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alrighty, here you go!~

Page 2:

There's also a page 3, but you'll have to wait to see it!~ ;3

I decided to do a Birthday themed one, since October is my birthday month (and cause there's already plenty of Halloween stuff, I figured it'd be less expected). ^^ 

Anyway, can you piece together the story just from the rough?~ ;3 The full comic will be out in just a bit, so hang tight!~

A BIG Help

"I was certain the circus would flop without an elephant, given it was on all of our advertisements! Honestly, asking for a volunteer was kind of our last resort. But to our surprise, we had a taker! This kid sacrificed his entire human existence just to help us in a pinch! He'll definitely be getting extra peanuts after the show!!"

TF Gacha reward!

Really sorry I'm running so late! Catching up on stream now, but here's a delayed reward ^^

Comic and more rewards incoming, so hang tight!! ^^

Catching up!

Hey guys! I'm really sorry I'm running so late! I'll be catching up on stuff during this stream via an all-nighter, so feel free to stop by! ^^
Be sure to read the description before chatting! Thanks!

Em-bear-assing Encounter

"I sure am glad the rumors about our main protagonist here turned out to be false. 

"Bullying the younger kids"? "Turning them into animals"? "Changing their birthdays"? 

I don't know what most of that even means...but the daycare kids absolutely love him! Just look at how this boy bursts into tears the second he's separated from his older friend. Don't worry little guy...your big preschool buddy will take extra good care of you!"

Thanks so much for waiting! I'm so sorry for running late on everything! (The last two weeks have been absolutely insane.) I'm catching up today and tomorrow (both on messages and with content.) Thank you so much for being patient!

There'll be another comic page out this month, so look forward to that! :)

-Sock

Update~

Hey guys! Sorry to cut it so close! I'll have the comic and a bunch of uploads in about an hour or two here, so just hang tight! I made a super cute one this time around (as per the image above~)

Thanks for being so patient! I took some time off to go job hunting, and I managed to land a job! I still need to nab the visa, so the battle's not over yet, but I'll keep everyone posted. 

I'll message everyone with their updated tokens and whatnot today too. Thanks again for being patient everyone!

-Sock

Quick Update

Hello everyone!
Sorry everything is behind this month. I'm likely going to pause for a month to catch up.

I started taking a new medication (which is an antidepressant), and it's been a bit challenging to adjust to it. I'm feeling a lot better now though, so I'll do my best to catch up with things. 

Thanks for being so patient. ^^

Comms and Assorted Sketches

I've been catching up on some back work, so here's some commissions and assorted sketches for you guys! It has an animation and a full color, so I figured I'd make it for the $3+ guys. Hope that's okay. ^^; I'll post some of these publicly later.

Sketch Dump

Here's a couple more sketches!

Do you guys prefer this kind of system where I just periodically dump a couple sketches, or do you prefer it all at once? I hope I'm not spamming you too bad. ^^;

Vigilant Safety Officer Sock (YCH)

"Sure am glad I found this job as a safety officer! I can basically just chill here and get paid to do nothing! I mean...what kind of dangers could even happen in a lab where a bunch of physicists study time all day...? Their watch runs late?? Haha!

...I do wish that annoying alarm would stop though. It's really distracting me from my reading."

Thanks for waiting everyone and sorry for running late! Here's the YCH reward!

I'll be posting the next reward to bid on and the date to bid on it in just a bit, so hang tight!

Digi-downsized! (Age and IQ Gacha)

TF GACHA:

Selected: Age and IQ

Results: 12 Years Old --> 2 Years Old

100 IQ --> 70 IQ

"Looks like the gang is going to have to find someone else to carry the Digiegg of Hope. It'd be one thing if he'd just been toddlerfied...but I'm afraid he can't even say the word "Digivolve" in his current state. Not that it'd matter...since Patamon's gone back even further that he has!"

Featuring TK/Takeru from Digimon Adventure 02! 

A Boy in Sheep's Clothing(Animal TF Gacha)

TF GACHA:

Selected: Species

Result: Human ---> Sheep

"So many questions! How did the boy get in this field!? Who sent him here!? Why is does he feel so weird? Why does the grass smell so good!? Why is there grass everywhere!? Why is he so hungry for grass!? Why isn't he eating more grass? Grass grass grass...grass!" 

Thanks for your patience everyone! I'm running a bit behind but I'm getting stuff out right now, so expect more in just a bit here.

One Last Token Update...Illustration Rewards!

Tl;dr: Illustration rewards are back. For 3 tokens, I'll draw your character using themes and ideas that you pick.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After talking to a bunch of people, the biggest piece of feedback I received was that some people were concerned about the uncertainty of the Gacha and the YCH. As such, I've decided to offer one more exchangeable reward for individuals with tokens.

That reward is....the return of Illustrations!

For those of you who are long-time Patreon supporters, you may remember these. For those that are new, I will explain...

In exchange for 3 tokens, you may claim an illustration reward from me.  

Basically how it works is: 

1. Private message me that you would like to use your 3 coins here on Patreon. (Please do so here on Patreon, so that I can more easily keep track.)

2. I'll send you a google form, which will survey you on your preferences in AR art. (Common themes, notes about your character, etc.)

3. Based on your input, I'll draw your character in a scenario using the themes you've given me!

FAQ:

I have a specific idea in mind that I'd like you to draw. Could you draw that for me instead? 

Sorry, these illustrations are meant to leave me with a certain level of creative control. If you have something specific in mind, please wait for my commissions to be open.

3 tokens? Isn't that a bit expensive?

I recognize that it's more expensive than my regular commissions. This reward is for those who would like art in the interim until commissions are open, but are not interested in the Gacha or YCH. 

How detailed are the images? 

The images will be lined and colored.

Does it include a background? 

It will include a simple background.

When will I receive my reward?

The deadline to request it for the next month is the 10th. For example, if you request it on or before June 10th, you will receive it by the end of July. If you request it after June 10th, it will be part of August's batch.

Can you draw something NSFW?

All rewards for this tier will have any sensitive areas covered up.

Can I get more that one character in my illustration?

Generally, no. It will just be your single character.

I've changed my mind and would like to use my tokens towards something else!

I'm very sorry, but once you use the tokens, it's locked in. Otherwise, it would become a logistical nightmare. ^^; 

Can I post my reward elsewhere? (Social media, discord, etc.)

I ask that you wait one month after the upload date to post it elsewhere. After that point, you're free to share it wherever you'd like. (If you'd like to link it back to my Patreon, that'd be super appreciated! Though it's not necessary. ^^)

Can I get my friend's character as a reward? 

That is totally fine, but please ensure that you have your friend's permission first!

Can I get a copyrighted character? 

I'll treat this on a case-by-case basis, so please confirm with me prior to requesting the illustration.

I have a question that wasn't answered here!

Feel free to send me a Private Message! I'm happy to answer any and all questions!

June YCH Preview!

"Research into time dilation can be dangerous! One minute you're in the lab, the next you're right where you were last week, studying for a test....or last month, waiting in line. With enough power it could even send you back years into the past, doing exactly whatever it was you were doing at the time! 

Luckily, the research facility has hired on a new helper to man the emergency off button. Now we can freely use as much power as we want in our research! So long as the helper hits the off button before we go through the portal, the effects will be completely reversible. Our futures (and pasts) are in his capable hands!"

Here's the preview for June 2023's YCH! Slot's will be claimable to those with Tokens once all payments have been processed (usually around the 4th.) I'll make an announcement and post a full color preview prior to it going live!

If you're interested, please review the YCH illustrations guide here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ych-82998869

Thanks! ^^

And for the $3 tier and above, the monthly comic will be out in the next couple days, so be sure to look forward to that! ;3

-Sock

Tiers Updated!

Just a quick update: I forgot I had to manually change all the posts to be viewable at higher tiers. Just got done adjusting them, so everything should be good to go. Let me know if anything is still unviewable at the $20+ tiers. ^^

-Sock

Tokens! New Tiers! Announcing New Additional Content!

Tl;dr: No changes to old tiers. New content incoming. New tiers to earn coins for the gacha, ych, and character illustration benefits. Check links below for more info!

These posts will be updated with more information over the next couple of days.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello everyone!

As always, thank you so much for your support! It means the world to me!

I wanted to announce some new additional content and features to the Patreon! First and foremost, I'd like to put long time Patrons at ease: There will be no changes to the current $1 and $3 Patreon tiers. All rewards you receive each month in those tiers, you will continue to receive! Furthermore, you will still have access to view all the art on here with the $3 tier, so you won't be missing out on anything! (You'll even have more content than before each month to look at!) :)

Why new tiers?

I thought I'd answer this question first. Many people don't follow me outside of Patreon, but to summarize my situation: I live in Japan (and have for 11 years now) and attend animation school here. I was working up until 2022 while attending, but left my company due to mistreatment and unsafe working conditions on their end. I began attending full time while paying tuition out of pocket.

Thanks to the support of all of you and some very kind and patient people who commissioned me, I was able to pay tuition last year and stabilize my situation for the time being. Unfortunately, job hunting hasn't gone smoothly and I'm still attempting to find work at a Japanese anime studio as of Spring 2023.

Having to do another year of school (to maintain my visa) was an unexpected hiccup in my plans. As of now, I'm still chipping away at owed commissions bit by bit, and thus would not like to add on to that workload until I've completely cleared it out. Thus, I'd like to work towards shifting my primary income source over to Patreon as much as possible.

In addition to that though, I greatly enjoy creating on Patreon and sharing my bizarre and crazy ideas and art with everyone here. I hope I can meet everyone's expectations with my art moving forward as well.

So what are the new tiers then?

There will 3 new tiers. A $20, a $40, and a $60 tier.

What do you get with these new tiers?

Each tier offers you a monthly supply of Tokens. $20 for one token, $40 for 2, and $60 for 3.

What are these tokens used for?

Starting next month, there will be three new pieces of monthly content that you can redeem tokens for. These are:

The YCH Raffle

The Transformation Gacha

and

Character Illustrations!

What is the YCH Raffle?

You can read more about it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/82998869 (Please read thoroughly before participating.)

What is the Transformation Gacha?

You can read more about it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/82995857 (Please read thoroughly before participating.)

What is are the Character Illustrations?

You can read more about it here: www.patreon.com/posts/83619559 (Please read thoroughly before participating.)

Isn't the price kind of steep?

Absolutely. I recognize this isn't going to be affordable for everyone, and I'm sorry if you won't be able to participate in the near future. I would absolutely charge far less if I could, but I'd like to start shifting more energy towards Patreon where I can, so that I can deliver better and more engaging content moving forwards. Even if you can't afford the tokens, all art will be shared in the $3 tier so you won't be missing out on any new content!

Wouldn't it be better just to get a commission instead?

Unfortunately, I'm keeping commissions while I work through my current batch, and I don't have any concrete answer of when they will reopen. If you would like to secure art, this will be the best method of getting it for the foreseeable future.

When do I get my tokens?

As soon as billing is done, your tokens will be added (I keep an excel sheet on my end.) If you wish to check your current token count, feel free to contact me at any time.

When can I use my tokens?

Gacha tokens can be used at any time, as soon as you have them. YCH tokens can be used to buy a slot as soon as the YCH post goes up (usually on the 2nd or 3rd of the month), or any time if you're buying out an entire YCH.

Monthly rewards must be made by the 10th of each month. Anything made from the 11th onwards will be added to the next month's batch.

What happens if we get to the end of the month, and there's still no content?

If we reach the end of the month, and content is still significantly backed up, that month's billing will be paused to make up for lost time. I will of course make a post explaining the situation and apologizing, should that be the case. That being said, I will do my best to ensure things are kept moving and will do my best to communicate clearly.

It may sometimes be possible that a huge number of people redeem their tokens all at once. If that is the case, I will let everyone know as soon as I can, that there may be the possibility of a month pause to catch up on work. I ask for everyone's understanding in the matter should that happen.

Can I redeem the token for money, discounts, etc?

The token has zero monetary value and can not be redeemed for anything other than the the perks mentioned above. This can get very complicated with international taxes otherwise, so I ask for your understanding in that matter.

I used my tokens on one thing, but have changed my mind and would like to use it towards something else.

I'm very sorry, but once you use your token, it can not be transferred towards something else. Otherwise it gets very complicated to keep track of, and becomes difficult to plan my work schedule. I ask for your understanding in this regard.

I'd like a refund on my tokens.

Generally I don't offer token refunds except for in extenuating circumstances. If this is the case, please DM me so we can discuss it.

I have more questions that weren't answered here.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions whatsoever! Either in the messages feature on Patreon or through Discord at Sock#9663!

Thank you again for all your help

The Transformation Gatcha!

Announcing...the Transformation Gatcha!

Then....once the gacha works its magic....(and I finish drawing....)

Tada! Your new identity is complete and will be uploaded here on Patreon!!

So the number of tokens I use dictates how much control I have over the outcome? 

Pretty much!

How detailed will the drawings be? 

It will be a cell shaded drawing!

Can I share/post them off of Patreon?

Absolutely! Feel free to post your drawing around to let everyone know about your new form! Please refrain from sharing art of other people's characters though.

Can you please not post my drawing once it's finished?

Sorry, all drawing will be shared on Patreon in the $3 tier. I can list you as anonymous though. Please let me know to list you as such in your gacha request.

I'd like to re-pull my gacha!

Sorry...all pulls are final. You'll have to wait until next month to do another pull. This is because it would quickly become to overwhelming to keep track of. I ask for your understanding in this matter.

When do I find out what I pulled?

I'll post a video of your gacha being selected along with your illustration when its posted.

Can I choose the pose/scenario/etc.?

I reserve creative freedom over the specifics of the illustration.

What if I pull the exact same age, species, gender, etc. that I started with?

Unfortunately, that's part of the risk involved. If you'd like to guarantee that doesn't happen, please select one of the higher level gachas.

Can I just tell you specifically what I want?

Part of the fun of the gacha is the randomness that comes along with the transformation. If that doesn't appeal to you, this may not be to your taste.

Can I do multiple characters in one month? 

Yes, you may. :)

Can I get multiple characters in one picture?

I'm sorry, it's one character per illustration.

I've changed my mind and would like a different character/transformation!

I'm sorry, but all requests are final once made. It becomes too difficult to keep track of otherwise. I ask for your understanding in this matter.

There's a type of transformation I'd like (inanimate, inflation, etc.) that isn't listed above. Can I add that?

Please ask me about it when you redeem your token. I may or may not oblige. ;3

I have other questions that weren't answered here!

Please feel free to ask me any and all questions either through the messages on Patreon or over on Discord at Sock#9663!

Thank you all for your support!

YCH Illustrations!

Introducing....YCH illustrations!

Starting next month, I will be releasing a monthly illustration for the $3 that all of you can be a part of! :)

That's right! It's YCH illustrations!

In exchange for a token, you can purchase a slot in the monthly YCH illustration!

Here's how it works...

1) After everyone's charges go through(usually on the 2nd or 3rd of the month), I'll make an announcement opening the slots for the YCH illustration, as well as the rough for the image.

2) People can use their tokens to request slots via messaging on Patreon. Warning: It MUST be through patreon's messenger. Otherwise it becomes very hard to keep track of who messaged when. I ask for your understanding in this matter.

3) Once the slots are filled up, I'll make a post letting everyone know!

Bonus: If you couldn't get a slot and you NEEEEED to see your character in whatever fun scenario I have planned( ;3 )...don't fret! If you collect enough coins to purchase all the slots in any past YCH, you can purchase that YCH for yourself as well! That's any past YCH, so don't be afraid to save up if you need to!

Can I purchase more than one slot at once?

Absolutely! Please let me know in your initial message right away that you'd like more than one slot. Otherwise, I'll assume you just want one.

Can I share/post the YCH off of Patreon?

Absolutely! So long as you or your character is the one featured in that month's YCH. If you are not featured and do not have a slot in that month's YCH, I ask that you refrain from doing so out of respect to those in it.

Can I change any of the details in the YCH?

As a general rule of thumb, the answer is no. However, let me know and I'll treat it on a case-by-case basis.

I want a specific slot!

It's on a first come-first serve basis. If the slot you want has already been taken, you can either choose another slot or pass on it.

Easter Holiday Fun

"The company family picnic would be a great event....if the mean old boss didn't hate kids so much! He always insists on separating them from the main event, keeping all the parents running back and forth constantly. I wish he'd see things from the perspective of the poor parents....or better yet..."

So sorry for running late everyone! I got a rejection letter which sent me into a spiraling depression that lasted many days....(´；ω；)ｳｯ　ｶﾅｼｲﾅｰ

...BUT I'm back! Thanks so much for being so patient! Here's the a two pager! Hope you enjoy! Working on May's comic now, so it won't be running behind like this one was! ^^;

Live Stream! ($3+)

Come watch me draw! Gonna keep going until the comic is finished, so the stream'll be here for a few hours. It's the $3 tier comic, so it'll just be available to that tier for this stream. 

Patreon Live Streaming Interest

Hey guys! Wanted to do a quick poll while I work on content here. 

I was hoping to hear everyone's opinion on live streaming as an additional Patreon reward. I recently managed to find a way to get my dinosaur of a computer to stream(with only the occasional blue screen haha), and was wondering if people might be interested in some streaming content.

Additionally, if you are interested, what kind of content would you be interested in? Off the bat, in addition to streaming normal patreon updates, I was thinking of also doing draw along type stuff (croquis, dessin, etc.) as well so some community-voted sketches and whatnot. I'm totally open to additional ideas as well!~

Please post any other ideas you had for content down below in the comments!

I'm glad to hear any and all feedback, so please let me know! 

-Sock

Sketch Dump!

Sorry for the wait, guys! I have a big bunch of sketches for the $1 tier+ members here! Gonna be releasing the $3 tier comic later tonight as well, so keep an eye out for that! ;3

Colored Sketches!

Here's some sketches, some unfinished stuff, some comics, etc!~ ^^
