I'm back, updates on new content, and other changes
🕑 Added 2023-01-24 04:37:42 +0000 UTCHey everyone, I'm finally back. If you happen to follow me on Twitter you might have caught a series of tweets that I made back in October last year giving out a brief description of what was going on at the time.
Long story short, I planned to come back during May (which was when I started posting some old artwork that was meant to go public already, some commissions from my backlog, and a few reposts I was asked to make of even older artwork), but after all that life kinda got in the way again. Fast forward to mid-September as I slowly worked on my backlog, hurricane Fiona hit Puerto Rico and I was left with no power at home for a bit over 2 weeks (from around September 18/19th to October 4th). The power still kept going out multiple times after that, which made working on anything a pain. Spent most of my time using my phone whenever I was able to charge it (ie. doodling sprites, leaving brief messages to some replies/messages/etc. due to terrible signal). But, the most important thing off all is that everyone was safe.
If you want to read the tweets themselves, here's the link to the thread.
Updates on New Content
I found some broken post drafts when I logged in just now. I'm not sure if they were meant to be the posts that I had previously managed to finish and add to the queue or if they were something else since their text was gone and the images added to them were broken for some reason. No worries there though, as I've got my drawings backed up and ready to go. I'll be adding these drawings to the queue, which will be 1 post per day until those are done with.
Here's a breakdown of what will be uploaded:
- Monthly body type drawings (December - April)
- Patreon rewards
- Commissions
- Other drawings (ie. WIPs, etc.)
Other Changes
The last time I got on Patreon I had received an email from the staff notifying me that I should fix a few posts to comply with the site's rules or my account would be closed. Apparently those rules have been a thing for quite some time, but I was never aware of it due to being so busy irl. This meant changing some public posts to Patron-Only, as it's the only way to hide adult content (both Safe and NSFW) from public view. I already took care of that by updating every artwork post that was originally set to public, just to be sure that I wouldn't miss anything.
As I worked on the backlog of Patreon-related content, I temporarily removed the higher end tiers and monthly goals. This was done both to be able to catch up without having to worry about even more work piling up and those tiers/goals not being used/met after some time. From what I can recall, there's only two other months from 2020 where the goal for the body type drawing was met: May and June. I'll skip the polls for those (seeing as I already accidentally did that with the one for April) and leave it as a surprise.
Here's a breakdown of the remaining Patreon-related content from the backlog:
- Monthly body type drawings (May and June)
- Patreon reward (only 1 left)
- Parts 3 and 4 of Bucchus' muscle growth sequence
Once the first two things on that list are done, I'll try to rework those tiers and goals in a way that (hopefully) won't end up overwhelming me again. I'd rather not have another massive backlog like that in the event that something else in irl keeps me from being able to work on stuff again in the future.
P.S. As of this moment, the Discord server is officially closed. While the lively activity after I first opened it years ago (May 2nd, 2017 according to the first message that was in #general) was shortly lived, it was fun while it lasted. I don't really see myself opening up another one in the future.
Thank you for your patience and for sticking around! Here's to another year full of beefy hunks and chubs~
