Big Update to Tiers and Content Schedule!!
🕑 Added 2024-06-04 05:48:15 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
First of all, I just wanted to apologize for not putting out content the past 3 months. I was finishing my last semester of my university degree, and also was focusing on polishing my model to make it as good as I possibly can. However, now that I've graduated I'll be able to work on my art full time for the foreseeable future, which means way more content for you guys! Here are some changes that I'll be making for this new era:
Types of Content
Until now, I've been mostly making still images, with a few animations here and there. This was largely because I didn't have the time to consistently work on longer projects, and also my old computer couldn't render complex animations in a reasonable amount of time. However, now that I have more time and a better PC I'll shift my focus into mostly making animations.
The general plan is that I'll make 2 - 3 "short" animations every month, with each one being 20 - 40 seconds long. Every 3 or 4 short animations in a row will follow a consistent character/theme/location, and once I have completed each batch of short animations I will compile them into a "long" animation (1.5 - 3 mins runtime) every ~1.5 months. This way, I'll be able to consistently post while also creating long animations for people who prefer those. The first 2 animations that I have planned will be involving the Widowmaker Cote d'Azur outfit (currently in progress) and the Widowmaker Black Lily outfit.
For each of the animations (both short and long), there will be a white male version and a black male version. Depending on the clothing that I'm using in the animation, there might be clothing/no clothing versions available for the animations as well. One of these 2-4 variations will be available in full quality for Legion I (and posted in lower quality on Twitter), and the others will be available for Legion II. The videos will be in 4K resolution for both tiers, which is an improvement to the 2K resolution that my previous animations were in.
I'll post the different variations as they finish rendering so that you guys can get them as soon as they are available. In other words, I will post the first variation as soon as it's finished rendering, and then I will continue rendering the other variations and post each of them after they finish rendering (it might take a few days to render each variation).
Tiers Update
As you may have seen on my Twitter, I have shifted to selling my models on itch.io instead of having them be a part of a Patreon subscription. This is because it makes more sense to sell my models as a 1-time purchase with free lifetime updates rather than being on a subscription model. In addition, since I won't be able to update my models every single month due to my animation projects, it would be unfair for me to bill Legion III members for months in which I haven't put out any model-related content.
As a result, I've discontinued the Legion III tier from my Patreon page. If you're interested, you can get my new models at https://creamtau.itch.io/. I've also given away free copies of both my Widowmaker and Male models to anyone who was subscribed to Legion III during 2024 as a token of my gratitude (I believe that I have already messaged everyone who falls in this category two weeks ago, but let me know if I missed you!)
Rewards will be exclusively on Discord
Due to several factors like platform policies, data scraping, and better/faster file storage, I have decided to distribute my rewards exclusively through my new Discord server from now on. All you need to do is sync your Discord account to your Patreon account, after which you can join my Discord server (invite link) and you'll get access to the hidden channels that have the exclusive content. If you're having any issues getting access to the content channels, message me and I will try to figure it out!
As of now, I have already posted WIPs and the currently rendered frames of the new animation in the Legion II channel. Once the animation has finished rendering and I have color graded it (should be within the next few days), I'll post that in the Legion I channel. As mentioned earlier, the variations of the animation will be posted some days later in the Legion II channel as they finish rendering.
Substar coming soon
I'll also be making a subscribestar page within the next few days, for those who would prefer to support me there instead. That page will have all of the same tiers, rewards, and prices as my Patreon. Discord access will still be granted through subscribestar, but I'll be posting my rewards directly to that page too, so this will be the way for you to still get my exclusive content if you don't have a Discord account.
Concluding Remarks
I just want to say thanks for bearing with me during the months of inactivity, all of your support really means a great deal to me! My new content will be way better than ever before and I'm excited to show you all what I have planned for 2024 :D
