(Important) Update (Patreon)

(1) Option to vote in polls (2) SFW edits of Patreon artwork

Safe for work edits? It's come to my attention that such a reward is incredibly redundant when I release nsfw artwork every week for free on my social platforms.

At this point, not only am I creating extra work for myself, but I'm forcing a mediocre reward just for the sake of making the $5 reward sound better. It's my least popular reward and for good reason.

You may have noticed that this month's $1 reward actually features some nudity for the first time. I've decided to unpublish the $1 reward, everyone who already has the reward will continue to get it, but new users won't be able to. From now on, everything on my Patreon is going to be NSFW and also the highest quality I can put out, the old $1 Patrons will be able to see this content and still vote on the monthly polls.

I want to turn my Patreon into a bustling system where people want to pay for the great rewards on offer, making every dollar donated absolutely worth it. I'm not sure what everyone else thinks, but in my opinion I'm only offering an extra picture every month which isn't so different from my other work. Sometimes it's not even as good as my other work (It's a bit inconsistent at times). As of right now, I'm not entirely sure what I want to do, whether to add more creative rewards like early-access, or generally just increase the quality of my art. I'm hoping to add bonus rewards such as free art packs and free visual novels. However the amount of pure time and work that goes into these rewards is intense for a full-time student. Even a short 1-2 hour Visual Novel takes months. (And tbh at the moment I'm not happy with my humanized artstyle).

Essentially there isn't too much incentive to become a Patron right now. It's 'get an extra picture that isn't necessarily as good as the others'. At the moment it's a bit like a tip jar with a small bonus, and while I absolutely love all the support you guys are giving me each and every month, I'd like to think more business minded so I can continue to draw great art long in the future. My family support me at the moment, but in a few years I'll have to support myself, I think it's important that I crack down on this now, so I can draw full-time- that's the dream anyway.

So, what's going to be different moving forward?

I need some time to think about it, but as my Patrons this is a great opportunity to tell me what you think. Between you and me if the next few years continue as the last year was projected, I'll probably have to stop drawing after University, it's time to take this to the next level and get my name out there.
