Clarification
🕑 Added 2024-07-02 14:15:01 +0000 UTCWill make this a Pinned post and edit if necessary.
This is a clarification post, to make people understand why I'm deleting some of my works and why I've changed the price tag of my newest works.
Unlike most artists I don't do this just for instant gratification, hooby, passion or money, I do it mixing all of former in one, I do it for instant gratification, hooby, passion AND money, if one of these is missing the balance is broken and the instability starts, the instability being my will power dropping along with the quality of my works, plus along with it a bunch of gibberish called rants.
But I've 'noticed' noticed in quotation marks because I always knew, but didn't accept it, I won't, can't make a living with my works, that's just not possible, there are many factors behind it, but one major is the nature of my works, one of then being Interracial content, if you have noticed in the internet people aren't kind to people who make Interracial content, and these Artists who decide to explore said 'niche' better be ready to A) Make less money than these who make generic content like futa on futa B) Read a lot of bitching about how 'you should make more white on white content' instead.
I used the word bitching to avoid using more offensive words, because trust me, posting Interracial content can really trigger something inside certain individuals.
And to make things 'worse' I also make Male on Futa content, which is the least favorite subgenre of the Futanari genre, as of now there is more Futa on Futa and Futa on Female content than Male on Futa content, and Male on Futa content always gets some hate on art sites like nHentai or R34, not the same amount of hate as Interracial content, but is up there.
Civitai is no different, but with the 'Clown/Laugh' emoji things are worse as my works get these stupid emojis often (these emojis are distasteful outside of memes), I don't post my works so people can mock then, they aren't memes to laugh at, I post so people can enjoy then (unless it is cleary a meme).
This is just one of the reasons I've deleted my Civitai account, another being how unoptimized the site is, the 'Hide content from this user' barely working, the amount of botting in the site as users create new accounts download LoRA's and uploading the claiming as their own, and so many more issues that the administrators are clueless how to deal with (placing a limit of how many LoRA's one can post per day is a good start).
But the major one is of course promoting my works, I expected that promoting my works on Civitai would help increase my income slighly, in the end it didn't, is an 'useless' website only serving to download LoRA's and Models.
The same applies to R34, promoting my works there proved just as futile as the monthly income didn't increase the way I expected, less than U$200 dollars in three months working on average 12 hours per day.
Whitin all that said I decided that I will post exclusively on Patreon, but not JUST that, I decided to change the price tag of my works from U$5 to U$10, the justification being the time spent on each one of my works (one to two hours), the best quality (non-upscaled, 2K, PNG) possible AND the fact that I'm and will continue to be one of the very few artists that makes Interracial Male on Futa content, like I mentioned before you can do A LOT with AI, but you can't fix racists (people who hate Interracial Content) or discrimination (people who hate Male on Futa content).
As for the DELETION OF WORKS, this is quite simple, I want people to understand I'm serious about my craft, and no amount of E-Begging or bitching seens to convey what I'm feeling right now, I have to go through a lot of bullshit (ControlNet, Multiple Renders, Post in PS, etc,etc...) to provide people my works, so what is the best way to demonstrate that I NEED money? delete the works I spent my time on, a time that I could have spent doing something else.
Starting effectively now as the time of this posting I will delete TEN (10) of my works every day that I stay without a single donation.
You can leak my content to whatever place you seen fit, Kemono, R34, Civitai OR even claim as yours to me it really does not matter anymore, what matters from now on is, that If I wake up and don't see a new Patron in the Audience tab I will start deleting my works, I will prioritize the 'highest' quality ones first.
Does it break my heart? it does, it sure does, remember I spent my time on then, but this is the only way I found to make people 'understand' the current situation, I'm not asking to be a millionaire, I'm asking for a decent pay every month.
A final note, the days I get a donation, does not matter if it is U$5 or U$10 I will post as usual.
For every U$5 donation I will post one work.
