New poll + Important announcements
🕑 Added 2024-09-20 17:57:59 +0000 UTCThe poll will run until Monday, September 23rd, 1pm BST.
Also I've been a bit ill and also finishing a commission so everything's been slow, I'll try and post a quick Kanna set for free today with her birthday outfit, thank you for your patience 🙏
Now, for something important.
Unfortunately my Patreon content keeps getting shared or scraped with certain services once in a while.
This has been going almost since I started and while I could've done something back then, I chose not to as I didn't want to make the experience worse for my Patreon members and wanted to keep it straight forward. So I added the warning that you see on every post and hoped people would respect that, as this and commissions are my main income and is how I pay my bills and food.
Unfortunately it still happens somewhat often, so with that in mind I'll be changing how I post my content. I'm still looking into the best and safest way, but it will most likely be something like I make a simple website/blog where you can log in with your Patreon through their API to validate your membership, which will then give you a link with my content. Said link will expire and get refreshed every now and then for security reasons. Posts here will have a preview and instructions.
Another option is a password protected link to my content and the password would be provided via DM. Link and password would reset and refresh every X days. I still need to think about the best solution.
I apologize for the inconvenience but unfortunately some people left me no choice. I will do a proper post with everything explained once I sort it out.
Another important change
Starting in 2025, I will most likely be changing my accessible content. All my 2023-2024 content will still be accessible when you subscribe, as it is now. However new content will only be available for the time you are subbed. For example, if you subscribe in January 1st, you will have access to everything I release during that month. If you renew your membership, then you'll continue to have access to February's content.
However if you chose not to renew, and for example subscribe again in April, you'll have missed March and as such you won't have access to those works. Past month content will be added to a shop where you can buy it separately at a slightly higher price than membership.
I'm doing this because honestly I think the current price is fairly cheap for a membership, however, as it is now, you can pay a single 2.5€ membership and get more than a thousand renders of content, and that number will only continue to grow. At that point not only do I believe I'd be selling myself short, it's also unfair for the people who have been supporting me for a long time who have spent a lot more for the same amount of content.
I still need to look more into this change and see what's possible and not, or if it will even happen at all. But I figured I'd give everyone a heads up on all the coming changes.
Please comment down below what you think about these 2 changes as I want to know your opinions, thank you very much.

Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't do this sooner. As it is right now, you are definitely selling yourself short with just 2.5 euros a month for access to everything. So it makes sense to set up a new system. The system you wanna implement starting from 2025 seems fair to me. And as for the first change you wanna implement, seems fair too. In fact, another artist by the name of 3DLoveAndPeace does a similar thing. Do what you gotta do to protect your livelyhood, good fellow. Also, cute oni (that last render)!
