Little changes in how I handle Patreon, Milestones, and suggestions from you guys!
Happy new year!
It's a new year, and with new year, comes new wishes, objectives, goals for the future.
And one of my goals have always been to grow this platform, make it something that allows me to not care if what I'm doing is a bit more experimental, or if I'm trying a new medium, or if I just want to draw for myself, work on my own original stuff or fanart the characters I want or think are hot!
You guys have always been such so nice and so supportive, you already push me to follow my art instincts and desires. And I very much try to reserve time to do it, it's an important part of my routine and doing what I do. But I wish I could do more, and unfortunately in order to do so, I need to depend a bit less on commissions and get a bit more from Patreon itself.
So I want to go ahead and create a few milestones for this Patreon, evolve it beyond the Tip Jar that it is right now into something a bit more organized, active, productive, and better!
I also want to change the way I do a few things around here, including:
I have changed how the polls are going to work from now on. Rather than having a character a week, I'll have a character of the month and try to produce complete pieces, doodles and WIPs for that character. That way we get more variety and I get to explore the winner character much better, like I could do with Bubblegum for example.
I won't make content that is only available on Discord anymore. ALL content I produce daily will be posted here now.
I want to push for more storytelling and backgrounds on my pieces, as well as more original content maybe even different mediums, like 3D, comics and stuff. I want to set up milestones for this stuff!
If time and milestone allows, I wanna return to and expand streaming some hentai drawing! Why not? <3
Now in order for this stuff to happen, I need Patreon to grow enough that I can take time off of commissions and into Patreon itself. So probably the better way to set up milestones is in a measure of commissions!
Milestone 1 - One commission (roughly 150$)
Milestone 2 - Two commissions (roughly 300$)
Milestone 3 - Three Commissions (roughly 450$)
...
For one commission worth of Patreon support, I can give one commission worth of extra time and effort towards different projects. That's about half of a week of extra time on top of what I already do to create these pieces.
For two commissions, it's basically a whole extra week dedicated to this, every month.
For three commissions, it's even more...
You all get the gist, right? This could mean more experimentation, more thought and planning and quality for every piece, more quantity when it comes to the content I do that you like...
It's more time to do whatever I want and that usually means more 2D smut art in the cute, wholesome way I usually love doing <3
I also want to ask you guys for suggestions.
What would you guys want to see me doing? What do you think would help this platform grow? I'm a silly bean, I focus on the art, the social media part of this job I'm actually really bad at. Please comment here, let your heart out!
I'm excited to see what you guys think, and to plan out this year so I can see myself and my art reach new heights and new places! <3
