July Post: Other News...
🕑 Added 2019-07-02 00:12:29 +0000 UTCNow that I vented, I want to share what's really on my mind.
---------
Normally I would separate the tiers based on their content. When I started out, I wasn't publishing as much and had few supporters as well.
Really the tiers serve as what I'm more likely to draw according to the most pledged tier - not who gets to see what - a misunderstanding on my part. The most common is the $5 tier, so everyone is treated to $5-tier art. The higher the tier pledges, the more I'd be able to do. Especially when I save enough to move to a place of my own.
I haven't decided to separate the tier-based art packs because I needed your opinion - either keep lumping together all the art made in a single zip file or separate the art and make gradual updates with the zipped high-res art genre the way I normally update my Sound Collections zip.
However this can mean that you'll receive the same art on a monthly basis with little new art on the side. I'll set a poll later to see what to do about this.
In terms with art, I'm confused on what sort of content I should publish now. I have patrons who support me for different reasons. Some for Sonic art, some for preg art, some for human, some for anthro, some for muscle/weight gain, some for bursting and gore, a mere few for the comics, and the very few who like all those things at once or actually want to support me.
I have already considered a year-end special with all high-res artworks done based on the year completed, and an art pack containing every sequence and comic work to date but again I don't exactly know what everyone would like here.
I'm stuck in a bind because the Patreon was supposed to support comic production and now because I've been commissioned to draw so many other things that attracted different supporters - some with kinks I'm not into - I'm at wit's end. This is my main income, and I can't put any more on hold then what I have right now.
I want to post monthly/bimonthly polls centered finishing certain overdue/still-in-progress commissions, and then the side arts that I could squeeze in every month. This needs to happen since I know certain patrons tend to leave when they see what's not to their liking return a month later and my dashboard ALWAYS misread whose pledges is processed because of it.
Frankly it affects my productivity too. Fact of the matter is, the more I try to cater to the many different appeals of my patrons and followers all at once, the more often I burn myself out physically and mentally - and the more often I forget to upload the art packs regularly. This need to change - immediately.
Every other month depending on the votes and chosen content, I'll focus on the top vote and work my way down to the bottom vote before casting another poll.
And until my commission backlog is finally depleted, new commissions from this day forth are not accepted, Period.
I will also switch between Sonic art and humanoid art for alternative artworks every couple of months to better hone my rendering on the two styles.
The comics are mandatory whether you're into them or not, after all that's what the patreon is for.
First poll will be released between my preview art posts and the Art Pack sendoffs this week. 'Til then.
