Beeg Update! (Patreon Goals and Annual Memberships!)
🕑 Added 2023-03-30 10:33:09 +0000 UTCHello!
As some of you might already know, I'm planning on moving out to live with Hannah in the next few months. Normally, I wouldn't be in such a rush to do it, but given how her abusive parents (and now siblings, too...) are acting, we don't have much choice but to get her out of there. So far, I've been living with my parents, so I never had to worry about it but... well, we need money, for rent, food, and all that junk.
I'll probably need to get a day job, or maybe even both of us will need to, depending on the circumstances. The point is, we need money, and while a full-time job should cover most, if not all of our month-to-month monetary needs, both of your passions lie within creation, for me it's drawing (and sometimes writing) and for Hannah, it's just writing, and so, we've decided to try to focus more on getting there.
I do realize that making art full-time is not very likely, and at best it'll probably take at least a few years, but hey, I'm nothing if not stubborn and moronic, so maybe we can pull through! ...But obviously, people aren't just suddenly gonna come pledging just because we need money, and so, we've implemented two new features.
The first, much smaller, one is annual memberships. I feel confident enough that this Patreon will be alive for at least the next 12 months, and even if I need to pause for a month or two due to me and Hannah moving and whatnot, it doesn't cost you anything extra (your annual pledge just gets extended by a month each time we pause the page). You also get 16% off if you do that, which is the biggest discount I was able to give (not sure why 16% specifically is the cutoff point but hey).
The second, much bigger one, is... Patreon goals! (Apparently, Patreon Goals are getting discontinued in 2 months so that sucks, but the point still stands, we'll keep our promise whether the feature is there or not).
The goals are (as of now) as follows:
$300 a month - all of the new stuff (that’s not comms) comes with at least one alt (possibly more, also as we start earning more, 2 or 3 alts might become the default)
What alts? Well, let’s say I made a hypothetical drawing of Samus being worn as panties by Princess Peach. The picture is a butt shot and Samus’ design is mostly blue, based on her Zero Suit. A potential alt for such a drawing might be…
- Different design - the panties are now skin-colored with Samus’ face stretched across Peach’s buttcheeks
- Different levels of wear - the panties are visibly worn down or have all sorts of bodily fluids splurged over them! Yes, even the lewd ones!
- Added/removed mental changes and things related to that - if Samus is angry or despairful in the original drawing, the alt might show her off enjoying herself
- Different levels of awareness - if the original TF has Peach being unaware of the transformation, the alt might show an alternate scenario where Samus is being teased/bullied by the princess instead!
These are obviously small changes, but that’s why they’re the first ones, and as mentioned, a picture can have multiple alts instead of just the one promised.
$500 a month - We’ll start a long-form anthology CYOA (kinda) comic with multiple TFs involved, probably either set in the Smash Bros universe or the FEH universe. It’d be split into smaller parts, so let’s say… the first few pages might be about a pillow TF of character X being used by character Y, once that’s done, we switch to a different set of characters to keep things fresh! Patrons will also be able to vote for/suggest what happens next! There’ll be at least one page a month, possibly more, but not guaranteed (and it’ll be on top of all the usual stuff we do).
750$ - same as the last one, except more. Guaranteed 2 pages every month, possibly more, depending on the month. Alternatively, if peeps prefer, instead of one long-form comic with 2 pages, we’ll do 2 long-form ones with one page each, dunno yet.
$??? - no real goals for this bit yet, this will be updated once we get closer, for now, we don’t wanna overpromise stuff and then regret it down the line.
$1500 a month - we go full-time! Without a day job, Hannah and I can focus all of our efforts on this thing, pumping out more stuff than ever before! 1500 might seem low but keep in mind that'll be on top of whatever we earn from commissions and possibly also streams.
Also, this isn’t tied to any particular goal, but as this all grows and develops, both I and Hannah want to spread out into more fetishes, such as animal TFs, TGs, and swaps of all varieties! …But obviously, most people are here for inanimate TF stuff, and while neither of us ever wants to move away from that (Inanimate TFs are easily my TOP1 kink), it’s sort of risky to suddenly start to change things. One more TG per month means there’s probably one less Inanimate TF drawing pic per month, after all. The point is, more financial stability means more variety, probably. Well, we’ll still try to experiment with different things whether we’re financially stable or not, but you get the gist! We’re more likely to try out something that might flop if there’s no risk of us going hungry for the next 2 weeks cause of it
On top of all that, I'll try to do more complex work in the future - mainly comics and sequences. Both of these will probably also be options for whenever the next commission sheet drops, but for now, I wanna make a few as training. Already working on a 2-page comic (both pages will have around 3-5 panels each), it should drop at the start of the month, or at least the first half should! Same with Hannah - I realize it's been a while since she posted her last story, and I promise she's working on new stuff in the background. In her current living conditions, it's pretty tricky to focus (who woulda guessed living with abusers that starve you and don't take your ADHD seriously would make it hard to write, huh?), but once she moves out and can get proper care, I'm positive she'll be able to post more things. All I ask everyone is to please be patient.
