Exit polls
🕑 Added 2020-12-11 17:16:18 +0000 UTCHey guys! I just made the absolutely catastrophic mistake of looking at my exit polls. I Generally make a point of not doing this, because it’s basically almost entirely negative feedback and can knock me sideways. However I wanted to address some of the feedback I received. (I don’t know if this is like a Patreon faux pas but here we go)
First of all, quite a few people said they unsubscribed because I wasn’t active enough, and a couple said I put too much focus on higher tier and mini morphs. I’m truly sorry that there are those who feel this way, but i do upload two full pieces of work a week, pieces which take considerable planning and effort. on occasion i have been unable to, but when this is the case there is usually still at least one, and I try my best to balance the minis and the sequences when I am only able to do one. My patreon takes priority over all other work and commissions because it is important me that my patrons get what they pay for. I honestly cannot commit to more than I already upload. My patreon is pretty much my life, and it hit me hard when I saw there are many who think I don’t upload enough. (I also have a business doing family portraits and work several days a week in a kitchen!)
Second of all, and this one is fair enough, a few have grumbled because I do not correspond enough, both in messages and comments. This is true, and I can only apologise. I have been battling various mental health conditions and dealing with a very chaotic private life this year, and though it is not an excuse, one of the results has been that I can’t face dealing with correspondence, as I get regular bouts of anxiety as a result. (Even my mother cops it!) I am working really hard to overcome this, and will do my best to be more active in the message and comments going forward.
I hope I’m not speaking out of turn addressing these things, but it has been cathartic sharing my thoughts about the negative feedback with you and helped me process everything I’ve just read.
Thanks everyone who has stuck with me through what has been a incredibly challenging year. My work here is an outlet for me and working on my patreon stuff is the hilight of my week! I look forward to continuing to develop my work stylistically and narratively, especially in the new year where I am hoping to try some new formulas and ideas.
If you have any feedback or thoughts, please let me know in the comments! But please remember I’m just a dude trying to make a living drawing what he loves and sharing with the crazy little corner of the internet that digs it, so go easy on me guys! Futo’s got feelings too <3
Love and best wishes to you all in these crazy times.

I'm just happy to support you. I've been a fan for quite a while now. I'm happy with anything you produce.
It's quite alright! You already go above and beyond with the content you post and you are one of my favourite transformation artists out there! At the end of the day, you have a life outside of patreon, so you can't always be available to reply or post. People need to remember that. Not to mention, it's your patreon, not theirs! You get the final say on what you do with it. We will support you no matter what you do, don't worry!

I have been active on Patreon since 2016 and have supported 26 artists in that time (many of whom I still support). I can say, as a fact, that your posting schedule is among the most active I have seen. Out of those 26 artists you are in the very top 2. You post more in one month than some artists do in an entire year. There is so much more that I could say, but suffice to say that you run a top page in my opinion.

Forget those rude people. Your work is great! If they can't accept that you have anxiety then they are not worth your time. Take care of yourself.

While new artwork is always welcome (any chance of a powerlifting Santa before Christmas?😉) Your page is reasonably priced and the artwork of a good standard. We always want more and sometimes you don’t have the time or the energy to do that.
