Testimonials! ♥

It's nearing the end of the year and I'm excited about another trip around the sun while I model in my underwear! The Patreon has been a great support for me and has really helped me continue to do pose references for everyone! 

I feel so honored to have your support and I really thank you! ♥  

If you would be comfortable doing so, I would love to add some testimonials to my Patreon page! Words from my current Patrons about why they support me would be so helpful in encouraging new people to join up. I also plan to do a video in the future and your testimonials could be included!

If you'd like to write a testimonial for me, please message me or leave one in the comments below. I will credit you on the page with your Patreon name, but I can also leave a link or social media credit so include that, too!  Here's some questions to think about while you consider what to write:

- Why did you first decide to become a SenshiStock Patron?
- How do my pose references improve your work or life?  
- What is your favorite part of being a SenshiStock Patron?   

Thanks so much for your time! ♥

Pretty simple. I saw you on DevArt, used one or two of your images. You post your stock for free, a lot of it, and have for a long while. And you use models of different body types. Your stock has helped a lot of people in their art. That's why I donate on patreon. Just wish I could afford to give more.

I discovered your work through DeviantART, and was just looking for general stock poses for a reference sheet if I remember correctly. I was getting tired of watermarked stock for stuff I wasn't going to be using commercially (just as a pose reference for drawing), and was so glad to have found your stuff. Your work has made it so much easier to see how anatomy actually works, and makes learning drawing figures less frustrating! Best part of being a patron is the absolute library of poses you and your partners have made here, and I like the pose requests! Thank you so much!

I discovered your work through DeviantArt, probably by doing a search for something I needed a pose for. The first addition to my gallery using one of your poses appears to be this one: <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/the-tinidril/art/SenshiStock-Weeping-Angel-576404065" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.deviantart.com/the-tinidril/art/SenshiStock-Weeping-Angel-576404065</a> (if the search function is to be believed) and prints of this drawing have actually sold at my table in Orycon. I joined in the first "Draw Everything June" and have since turned you (or one of your fellows) into all manner of strange creatures and characters since then! Plus I used your stock to fuel ideas for Inktober as well. I have had so much fun, and good practice drawing full-body figures, that I decided to support your efforts by becoming a Patreon customer. Now I have a growing gallery of images to draw from on my computer as well as your free gallery on DeviantArt! Thank you so much for creating such great resources! <3 ~ my IG account is @the_tinidril, DA is the-tinidril and on Reddit (/r/redditgetsdrawn) as the-tinidril as well.

I became a Patron because, if you find someone's work useful, it's only fair to pay them for it. I'm an illustrator, but my figure drawing is not as good as it should be. Your app is a useful tool (and I should use it more). I like that the poses are realistic ones that look like things real people would do - not just artistic contortions. Because they are semi-clothed I feel comfortable sharing my drawings on social media, which I wouldn't do with nudes. And you obviously enjoy what you do!

Your work has helped me massively. You're much more than a passive model. You bring such a high level of creativity, energy and professionalism to your photos that I consider you a co-collaborator, another artist to help me when I'm stuck. I'm a SenshiStock patron because this is an incredibly high quality resource at a ridiculously low price.

Haha thanks so much, David! 😂❤️ Do you have a social media or site you'd like associated with this?

I'm still learning, and your work has helped me understand so much more than any basic google search. What you do is so amazing, considering. You go above and beyond with everything.

I decided to become a Patron as I've been using your work for years now and wanted to show my vast appreciation for all your hard work and wanted to give back. I love being able to support someone who, along with her team, opens so many doors to both new and experienced artists, entirely for free! Seeing the different range of body types always helps artists have a much better understanding of different body shapes in general and just how they move. I often find myself repeatedly coming back to your stock if I'm stuck for a pose or just want to work on poses in general. I've also pointed many of my friends who also draw in your direction for many of the same reasons! I love being a patron for many of the reasons I've said before, and because I myself use senshistock for a good chunk of the work that I do. Having early access always helps! But in all seriousness, I enjoy supporting someone who clearly puts a lot of time, energy, and love into what they do and helping other artists grow.

I’ve been following your work for a few years now, starting on deviantart. I use senshistock for pretty much everything I do because there is a pose for everything. After buying the usb drives useful and realizing how useful it was to have stock right on my computer and with the desire to support our work, I subscribed to your Patreon and I have had no regrets!

I first learned about your stock back on deviantART when all you had were Sailor Moon inspired poses. Your pose stock was exactly what I had been looking for, as I had been forcing myself to steer away from tracing over bodies in how-to-draw manga character books so that I could get better at body proportions and anatomy in general. I stopped drawing as much during college, but when I recently decided I wanted to draw again so that I could draw my roleplay characters, I went back to your dA gallery. That was when I found out that you had started your Patreon. Since I have been using your stock since my high school years, I decided that even if I don't draw nearly as much anymore, I would like to help support you in this. It helped me a lot when I was actively drawing and still does when I randomly decide to draw again, and I like that you still upload some of the stock for free. I often find myself referring your stock to my friends and relatives who draw and it is nice to know that they have access to at least some of your stock even if they cannot afford to support you through Patreon. I love that supporting you as a Patron allows you to bring in and even pay more models for stock, as it allows for artists using your stock to get a better understanding of different body types. I also love that you let us vote on themes for stock packs we would like to see next or even request specific poses that we might need. And finally, I love that I can download each pack that you release as own (zip) folder and that each folder has its own name so that I do not accidentally overwrite another folder. It is so much better than going through and downloading each individual image from deviantART like I used to. Thank you for all the work you put into the stock!

So thankful for your kind words! ♥ Having loads of free stock available on DeviantArt is super important to me! :D Maintaining that gallery is a big part of why I started Patreon - so I could keep dedicating time to it! :D Is there any site, page or social media you'd like linked to if I use your testimonial?

Being part of another Patreon discord server, artist from across the world told in the server how they struggled with poses, then one artist shared your link in the server, first I started watching on deviantart and the amount of poses in the gallery, simple put, opened up doors. Now I just need to find the time to draw all of the things. I decided to become a patron after I noticed I was a more stable financially, The best part of being a patron is to see the variety, in poses, body types and of course skin colors, cause nothing helps an artist draw better than to use the eyedrop tool and copy the skin color when they want to draw people.

It's always great to hear when people find me through other artists - it makes me happy that people share what I'm doing to help people! Is there a site, page, or social media you'd like crediting you if I share your words? Thank you so much!
