Patreon structure changes coming soon
🕑 Added 2022-03-02 03:03:41 +0000 UTCHey everyone, I've been thinking about a few things over the past weeks and managed to wrap up my ideas on a few changes that I've thinking over for my patreon.
What are those changes?
I think it's best to explain with images =D
Currently we have a very strict model that we get each month:
- Chosen by the patrons: 1 pin-up + 1 voyeur
- Chosen by me: could be +2 pin-ups, 1 pin-up and 1 drawing or a series with Iris/Maya.
The proposed changes are not wildly different. In the new structure would be:
- Chosen by the patrons: 1 pin-up + 1 voyeur
- Chosen by me (one of the options):
- A series with Iris/Maya.
- 1 or 2 pin-ups
- 1 or 2 voyeurs
- 1 pin-up + 1 voyeur
- a nsfw scene with more characters (like a poolparty scene or something like that)
- a painting that might be more time consuming.
Why change now?
While the current structure has the benefit of "always getting 4 images on each month", I think that can also be a problem, because it prevents me from creating other things or simply have a more flexible schedule.
I had many ideas over the past years that I had to discard (or turn into a regular pin-up) simply because they didn't fit the structure. There were times I wanted to do more than 1 voyeur in a month, others that I wanted to do a bigger scene with more characters but couldn't do it simply because it would be impossible to create it in time.
The structure also prevents me from taking a break or having a regular holiday. Because since the drawings usually take 5 days to be finished, if there's a holiday and I don't work, that means a delay down the road. Which sux. I hate to work behind schedule.
And I'm starting to notice that small burn-out lurking in the corner, not because I'm running out of ideas, but quite the opposite. Because I have many ideas that might not fit the current structure and I have to discard them, which is super frustrating.
Does this mean it would lower the amount of monthly works to 3?
On a regular basis, I'd still create 4 works per month.
But I wouldn't be pressured to create exactly 4 works per month. So if there's a month that I feel it would be better to create 1 pin-up + 1 voyeur (both voted by patrons) and the 3rd image is group image with 2-3 characters? Great, I could do that.
Or if I want to create 3 works on that month and then take a few days to do sketching, set up a stream to interact with people, or try my hand on blender (I've been wanting to model Iris and Maya houses for months), great, I could do that.
Another final change about when rewards would be available.
Since not every month would have the exact same structure of rewards, I think it would be good to change a few details.
The idea is very simple.
- At the beginning of each month, you guys will get the monthly link with the rewards (exactly the same way as it is now).
- Each new work posted, the hd jpg/nsfw will be available right away for you to download.
If you want to see the nsfw and hd versions as soon as the images are posted, you can do that. If you don't want to bother to download them individually, you can simply wait for the monthly link that will be sent via message.
ps. the psd and videos will still be sent monthly since they require slightly more production time.
So, those are the changes that I have in mind, let me know what you guys think.
