Everything's prepared for next month

Before I start let me just put this right at the top so people know:

This is the end of June, and I plan to keep my Patreon OPEN next month for those who wish to support me.
I CANNOT promise monthly content, and I cannot promise an animation next month. I will surely try, but please know I probably won't post more than a few drawings and doodles. Assume I'm going to post only 1 or 2 drawings next month and only sub if you see anything different.

If you want to support me th...

So... now what? For real this time

TL;DR:
I'm going to take a long time to reflect and learn, and eventually return strong and renewed.

I'm also keeping my Patreon OPEN for those who want to support me, while offering only a few doodles and the occasional animation. If you do NOT want to be charged please unsub before the 30th!

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

What am I gonna do now?

Well, I'm going to go back to what I was doing before. I'm going to focus on myself m...

Yes, new patrons will still get rewards

I received this question from a few of you and I wanted to confirm that yes - you will still get your rewards.

If you're a new patron as of this month, or a payment has gone through, I will draw something for you to at least make up for this cock up.

You'll also still get all my new animations the moment they get made too.

Let me clarify on why I've decided to leave again, as that also came into question.
I don't like piracy, and I just don't feel welcome nor r...

Actually no, I'm sorry.

I know piracy is unavoidable but I've made the choice not to come back.

Sorry to pull several 180s like this but I'm so through with piracy. There's nothing I can do now, they're on the internet for good.
I've tried my best to delete them but it's just not enough.

I'm sorry, I can't make you guys pay more knowing that I now have nothing else left to offer.

I could make new animations but many of you paid for the exclusives and I tried my best to protect them but wasn't ab...

Let's be real for a second.

When I brought this page back I wanted to secure funds to avoid certain events, and that means making content only you guys will have access to. All I'm asking is, to help me achieve that, you don't share my content externally or upload my content to other websites.

I'm torn between returning or just not bothering simply because I've already found that one post I made being shared across the internet.

I don't want to deal with piracy. I don't want to deal with drama. Please stop u...

Okay so... you returned? What now?

Well, come the 1st of July I'm going to be charging like normal for a few months. That's the plan.
I have an animated commission I need to get down but beyond that I have nothing planned this month anymore. I may do a donation drive (the same one I was threatening before) but I dunno yet.

That said, I updated all the tiers to better reflect the rewards offered. I also updated them hoping they'd charge this month but they didn't so...

Either way, this month is another long br...

Whoops

I uh... missed the Patreon deadline for payments so I'm not going to start again this month I'm afraid, unless Patreon can kickstart that process for me which I don't think they will.
Let's meet back here in July, yeah? In the meantime I'm gonna have a few animations ready to go and have some goodies ready to go.

LETS GO TEAM, GET PREPARED

Exclusive Animation bundle!

I sent this out to Patrons at the end of May, but here's the collection of animations in ZIP form: https://sta.sh/21k8fdfte8c1

This has all the exclusive animations ready to go, along with a few demos for you to try out.

Eh? What year is it?

I've re-emerged from cryostsis - the year is 2182, and London as I knew it is in ruins- wait no I'm in Lambeth Town.

Eh? It's still 2020? Only 2 days passed since I shut this place down?!
Why am I back?

Oh. Bills.

Look, I know setting this page back up was, uh, a questionable decision but I have something to admit.
I'm basically running on empty and instead of ending up homeless I'm going to open this page up until I'm back on my feet again.

I shut down my page t...

Taking the Ahsoka animation in a new direction

I was testing out the features of the Ahsoka animation and honestly I think the character is better suited in a sci-fi setting than a photographer setting, so I've started again from scratch.

The original idea I had, however, is still really interesting to me and I'm intending to continue work on it.
The photo setting will feature every single one of my OCs and will be sent to anyone who is marked as a $5 patron or above when the animation is finished.

That said, I'v...

I'm retiring.

Hey guys, firstly let me take this moment at the start of this post to thank each and every one of you.
You helped fund this hobby of mine, and a lot of you have stuck by me from the very beginning.

It's time I admit that I don't think I want to go on. I think you guys saw this coming, too.
When I started making flash animations in 2015 there was actually a pretty big demand for human characters, as really the only flash expansion animators back then were Doom the Wolf and Barn-Fl...

Continuing my hiatus into May (+ other news)

EDIT:
This isn't a confirmation I'm deleting this Patreon! Until I say otherwise I am only on hiatus. I hope I didn't cause anyone any confusion.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Hey guys, I've got some news for you.

The short of it is that I'm continuing my hiatus into next month - May.

Here's the longer answer explaining why:

I've actually got several reasons that have led me ...

April Drawing Dump - 02

Here's the rest of the images. These are either image variants or commissions!

April Drawing Dump - 01

Here's a collection of all the images I've drawn over April. You can expect these to be in the summary!

Sorry for the lack of content this month

Sorry for the lack of content, I've finally hit the wall in terms of complete burnout.

I've been expecting this, and it's finally happened.

Please bare with me, I'm still working on that animation and all the requests. I'm just trying to get everything done in a timely manner and avoid feeling like garbage.

Patreon feedback - Round 6

So you may mostly know me from my interactive expansion animations like my Samus or Makoto interactives, and while I still plan to make them I've had a real thought about the content I want to make month to month.
I have so many ideas I personally want to animate and make but I just don't have the time to animate them, so I've decided to posit an idea.

I want to make 3 animations a month. One small, two big.
However I will only be taking suggestions for two of the animations, with...

[Commission] Bun Girl OC - Comm for Araelyss

I did a commission for Araelyss on DA!
Check them out here: https://www.deviantart.com/araelyss

A download to the .clip and stuff will be in the monthly summary!
Of course I have to keep a lot of the files exclusive to the commissioner P:

(Don't forget you guys get money off of comms as patrons so if any of you wanted a commission it'll be for a reduced price)

Patreon feedback - Round 5

Edit: Guys - if I don't know I can't fix anything.
If there is ANYTHING I haven't brought up before that needs looking at please let me know otherwise I'm going to move on as if everything I said in the collection poll is completely correct.
Anyone who voted "Yes, though that's not everything" and "You're getting there, but you're still missing something" do let me know what you feel is missing.
Again I don't know what's missing unless someone points it out. Do n...

Patreon feedback - Round 4

The last poll indicates there's a few things I'm still missing, so let's keep going for a few more polls.

In terms of release dates and times, my current schedule is really out of whack.
I used to release on the 9th, 18th, and 27th however the more complex my animations became to draw the harder it was to fit these deadlines.

So here's my question:
Would you guys prefer animations released whenever, or do you prefer them coming out at a fixed day?

Patreon feedback - Collection Round 1

Okay so I've looked at the results from the polls made a few days ago, and I think I've got the best result spread now.

So... let me see if I've got this right.

You want a lot more focus on the belly, expansion, and birth. You also want some more interaction with the belly and the breasts, and maybe some smaller things like teasing or sex, but you can take or leave these.

You want to see more belly stuff, but you're mainly here for the pregnancy. However you don't mind ot...

Art trade - MintyKristi

I did an art trade with @MintyKristi over at Twitter!

You can see her half here:

Patreon feedback - Round 3

I've received great feedback from the last two polls and I'm starting to get a bigger picture.

However while I wait for some more votes in them I'm going to open up the next round of feedback polls.

Do you guys like the stories within my animations? I usually have pretty goofy or "self-aware" stories, and I like to rely more on comedy than I do serious moments.
However I took a more down to earth tone with the Nessa animation, and honestly I think it worked well.
So I want ...

Patreon feedback - Round 2

While that other poll is cooking, I'm going to open a second poll.
I'm mostly interested in animating pregnancy, but if there was another form of belly (or something else) you're interested in seeing, what would you like to see me animate?

You can choose more than one answer.

Patreon feedback - Round 1

Starting off April, I'm going to try to fix things up.
I believe somewhere along the line I lost what really made people come back to my animations and now what I'm making just isn't the same.

So - let's get back to basics.
What do you think needs the most attention in my animations? You can vote for as many options as you like.

Adobe ate my homework

Joke titles aside, I'm actually rather distraught with this.
I got this error earlier today and both my original file and backup are corrupted in some way. I have a friend who's usually able to un-fuck my projects if I do something funky to them but apparently this one was beyond saving.

I believe it was actually something to do with a tainted movieclip from a previous flash that, somehow, became corrupted in the copying as this only happened after I imported my usual loader templat...

RSVP - Stream later today (8pm GMT)

Hey guys, I know it's fairly quick but I'm planning to stream later today at 8pm BST (3pm EDT, 12pm PDT).
I'll be taking a few Patreon Requests as sketches to warm up, and then I'll be continuing on the Ahsoka animation.

The stream will be public, but only you guys will be able to make requests.
Please make sure you are there if you want to request! It will be first come first served.
If you work in an essential field and you can't view the stream at work or b...

Super Pochaco doodle - Stream

I did a test stream earlier using a new setup (which failed unfortunately, but it was a good experiment) and this was one of the results.

If I did start doing Patreon requests again this is kinda what they will look like just so everyone knows.

The full-res image and original .CLIP file will be in your monthly summary!

Sqwark's Patreon overhaul - Part 1

So starting next month I'll be taking my break and reflecting on some stuff.

I've been thinking recently about the rewards I currently offer and what rewards I could potentially make, bring back, or scrap.
So I'm going to announce the changes that I've considered and am going to most likely put into place in May.
Honestly this has been a long time coming, really.

If you guys see a chane you DO NOT like, or if there's something you'd rather see instead now is th...
