What do y'all want more of in 2026? ✨
Hey friends!
As we're nearing the end of 2025, I'm doing a lot of content planning and thinking for the direction of my channel and the Patreon in 2026.
I'm very excited about the kind of projects I wanna do this next year! The goal for the channel is to upload about twice a month (three times tops) and focus on making those two videos really substantial, cool projects! I wanna focus on both visual art and physical projects like cosplay and whimsy builds, so having more time to dedicate to each video should help A LOT.
I've also been planning my sponsors/finances to reflect this content change, and so far it's going well! Hopefully I'll continue to book partners throughout 2026 that are willing to pay me fairly for my work, but thank you all so much for your Patreon support! It means the world that people are willing to send their hard earned dollars my way to support my art, and I could never thank you all enough <3 Patreon goes really far in giving me a safety net if my income ever unexpectedly dips, and also allows me to purchase better materials for projects and upgrade my gear on a regular basis. I'm (hopefully) planning to upgrade my main camera during the Black Friday sales to give y'all prettier footage. I might also try to upgrade my wireless mic to try and get better quality. I'll keep y'all updated on the progress when it comes to new toys!
I'd also like to put a bigger emphasis on taking Patreon suggestions for my main channel video topics. There will be plenty of topics that I want to make because I'm just passionate about it, but y'all also have a ton of fun ideas I'd like to make a reality. I'm currently working on a Patreon suggested character design video for the main channel, and I'd love to continue working in that direction.
All this being said, I also want Patreon content to be a much higher priority in 2026! I'd love to give y'all way more goodies and higher quality exclusive content over here next year, so now is your chance to leave me some suggestions!
What would y'all be interested in for additional exclusive content? Exclusive videos? Merch? Mini sketch commissions?
I'm open to a whole range of ideas so leave all the suggestions you want down below! My tier costs shouldn't change this year, but if we integrate additional perks I might add an additional tier at a higher cost for things like merch/physical goods. I still have no idea how I would make physical goods work logistically since I don't have a manufacturer in mind, but if that's something y'all are really into maybe we can work toward that! Maybe I could even figure out how to make things myself? Maybe lino-printed thrifted merch could be cool if I could figure that out?
Anyways, leave suggestions below and like your favorites so I know what everyone is really into! I'll probably take the most liked suggestions later and add it to a poll so we can see what everyone is the most excited about.
Thank ya'll so much once again <3

Coming back to this thread to suggest the GENIUS IDEA I just had - a video making a fantasy nonsense/whimsical silly cat tree/home!!! Your crafty building Making Cool Stuff videos slap and I think heaps of people would love to turn their boring cat vessels into fun whimsical objects!
That would be fun! 😀
If I think of my favourite Patreon content, it’s like chatty GRWMs while people are testing a cosplay look or getting prepped for their final reveal shots. I like a little behind the scenes that also isn’t too much extra effort for you to set up! You all do so much already!
Also I absolutely love your Lino prints so much, if you made postcards or anything with them that would be so exciting
I’m glad that you’re taking the time to let yourself focus on making things that you can really be proud of. I can only image how much pressure it is to get a new video out every week, it seems like everything would get so overwhelming. I personally really like vlog style videos and a little more behind the scenes updates and footage. But honestly so long as you’re making content you are happy with, we will continue to enjoy it!
I’m on board with what everyone else is saying! I love that your content has variety and that you are passionate about it! I love your sewing videos, but think fewer projects per video might be better for your stress levels. ;)
It would be amazing if you sell patches of your prints (maybe from your fabric stash?) or the chance to own one of your little critters. I love and worship everyone of them!
In terms of exclusive content, I think the mini commissions would be a really cool idea!! But I’m a huge fan of your painting/sculpting videos, where you whimsify a Bob Ross or some little critter <3
Honestly I'd love to see more oc content‼️ Especially stuff about the fruit vampire universe, your Ruby redesign video is still one of my faves
I would love mini sketch commissions ;A; and more general sketchbook content too!
I really love to watch your videos, and honestly, maybe it's a bit cheesy but if you love what you do and you have fun it's really amazing to watch..and my favourite content!
I love everything you do!! My faves would be the sewing a bunch of summer/tall etc outfits for your wardrobe - maybe you could do that and then put the design process on patreon or one extra garment that is patreon exclusive. Maybe for longer term projects like the crochet one you could share snippets along the way over here? I am also a huge fan of all your traditional art videos - the bob ross ones and the big fantasy painting one! Whatever sparks joy in you will spark joy for us all!! 💖
I'd really love to see you bring back your sketchbook content now and then! I found your channel like 3 years ago from your sketchbook session videos and I still watch them! Even if they're completely unedited, my favorite content(in general) has always been real time traditional art, so it would be cool to see them come back once in a while! Outside of that, I've always liked your sewing videos where you're trying to make more..."wearable" clothes, like your recent stash busting videos. I'm a solidly mediocre seamstress who is also completely self taught and it's just a neat process to watch.
Lino-printed merch would be incredible - maybe patches with thrifted fabrics, or people could send in things they want printed on? One thing I've noticed is that a lot of the time when people do thrifted merch typically they don't have much in the way of plus-sized options (or else it goes Really Fast), so the idea of being able to send a blank shirt that I know fits me okay and get one of your lino prints - like the mushrooms! - on it would be amazing.
Merch would be cool, but if that's hard logistically all good it's not terribly important. I really like the videos where you whimsify something for your room!
Exclusive videos are the main thing I'd like to see!
Honestly I feel like you already shared a lot of good ideas yourself! I'd definitely jump on the chance to buy some custom merch from you. Perhaps Lino print tote bags and the like? As for things I'd personally really love is the opportunity for commissions slots every once in a while! Be it sketches or something more rendered, I'd love to get the opportunity to commission you someday 💕 Also as for exclusive videos, perhaps a sketchbooking Patreon livestream could be fun?
Love love love your cosplay videos! Honestly, everything you do is so great. For extra content, what about like a live body double art thing? You can talk to people while doing projects and if people like we can work at the same time on something of our own.
Honestly my favorite content is always what you are clearly having fun doing. It's always fun to see where your muse has pulled you.
I would love to see another "Draw my patrons" challenge. That was such a fun video.
Mini sketch commissions and merch would be awesome! I always love the artwork or the costume builds but honestly everything you make is always so great!
