Thanks Everybody for a Great First Month
🕑 Added 2022-12-29 16:26:30 +0000 UTCYour support means a lot to me.
I spent a lot of time generating these and setting everything up hoping that I could make a little change for the holidays; and it's no stretch to say you guys saved Christmas for me. I have a lot of extended family, so even at $30 a present I needed over $400 in total for everyone's stuff.
Patreon almost paid for that entirely
I started this not knowing if people would really be into it or not. After all, AI art still has along way to go and there's a lot of things off about certain scenes that break immersion at times. I hope though that you guys got your money's worth for this first month. while I consider AI art to be of a lower quality, I still posted hundreds of images which I think makes up for it.
I know I didn't post much touhou/yuri stuff this month (I'll post a little bit more tomorrow or the next day though,) so I'm sorry if you came here for that or the continuation of the Remilia story. I will finish that off next month though, and I'll try to post more yuri in the future if you guys want it. The survey told me that almost nobody was here for the yuri though.
If you were here for something specific that I started: Ashley art, Anime yuri, infantilism, etc. Send me a direct message over Patreon letting me know what you want to see. I won't guarantee anything, but I'll do my best to keep you guys happy too.
Forced fem is my subject of choice that I never get tired of. It lends itself really well to AI art because it can be entertaining even with mostly single character shots. Yuri and infantilism are so much harder because of the varied outfits and multiple characters. I'm getting better at AI generation, and more familiar with Danbooru tags so I can generate the images I want faster. I've learned photoshop for image editing and watermarking. I'm still working on finding a pdf program that will just put images on top of each other in large batches without rotating them to all be portrait or landscape. Maybe in the future I won't need to post the zips.
Lastly, I'm not going to post schedules or commit to a definite posting schedule atm; but I will post my goals for next month.
#1. Remilia story is the highest priority. It'll probably only take another 30-50 images to finish an I really need to stop putting it off. Just need to find out how to make a scene with sakuya pushing remilia in a stroller...
#2. Gyaru Story. I've actually made a lot of images for this story already, but they don't realy have a consistent skin tone for the main character. We'll see if I can use the bulk of them, but I think this story will end up being really huge. Especially if I'm trying to put reoccurring gyaru characters in the mix.
#3 Captioned reposts/ DLsite setup. Only like 12 of you said you preferred captions, but the more I think about it the more I prefer captions as well. I think I'll try and reupload a few stories with captions. Using Blue text for guys and pink for girls probably. I think I'll google translate to Japanese and post that as well for the Japanese folk from Pixiv. I don't know how far I'll go into sound effects and style for the captions, but we'll see how much work it is and whether it's worth it. If clubbing with sis is able to get some sales on DLsite then I might consider putting some real effort into the text. I'd probably style the captions after the group Wataya if you know them. Forced fem fans, if you haven't checked Wataya out yet then you definitely should.
#4 Pixiv Fanbox setup. I'll setup a Pixiv fanbox to try and reach people who aren't a fan of Patreon. (non-english speakers I assume? idk) Rates will be like 500 yen a month and they won't get any benefits over the $3 tier here probably. We'll see how popular the fanbox is. If you're a $3 backer then everything they get, you'll get. IF it blows up and they start demanding more benefits then idk, maybe I'll make a $10 tier there too. Probably not though.
#5 Angel Investor content. I want to keep you guys happy, but only 2 of you requested anything. I think what you're really after is early content, so I'll try and post some stuff a week early for you every now and again. Other than that, send me requests if you want and I'll see about getting around to them. I'm not going to guarantee commissions after the deviantart debacle, but I will try.
Thanks again everybody and I'll hopefully see you next month too!
