Zariya - Summoning | I'm Taking a Break! π€
🕑 Added 2025-08-31 03:45:56 +0000 UTCHello, everyone! π€
β I'm going to take a break from Patreon for a few months. I will continue making artwork, but I will be pausing the monthly Rewards. During this break:
Billing will be paused, no one will be charged. Current members will retain their Discord roles.
New paid members will be able to join but remember that monthly Rewards are paused.
I will continue and share any commissions that I complete or other random OC drawings.
THE AUGUST ANIMATION featuring Pyra is still in-progress and will be completed in the next week or so! That will still be released here for the appropriate members!
π Any Crowns Patrons who were charged after August 7th (the end of the last animation poll cycle), I owe you an Emote! Please reach out to me to confirm and collect that specific reward, since there will be no Suggestion collection for September 2025.
β I need a few months to refocus and work on my own projects for a while. When I return, there will be changes made to the Rewards here. These are the things I intend to change a few months from now when this Patreon re-opens:
COMICS: I will begin writing and illustrating multipage, narrative Adult comics featuring my OCs and existing characters who I feel confident writing (Arueshalae and Wenduag for example). These will, at their core, be Exclusive Lewd-NSFW Comics filled with explicit Adult themes fully written by myself and occasionally any guest writers who I may collab with.
DROW STORY: In the case of Drow Story, I will write and conclude the current chapter based on the decisions that you have all made to construct the personality and actions of the Main Character. This will include a finale to the current NSFW scene, a Jexalyn conflict, and the conclusion to the "escape from the palace arc". The original format of Drow Story, per-page suggestions and voting will be discontinued when I return.
ANIMATION: I will continue to create Exclusive NSFW Short Animations alongside the larger comic projects, but they may not be monthly. The Animations will instead become companion pieces to the Comic Projects, and I will Animate when the right ideas come along, instead of forcing a rushed video production cycle each month.
TIER CHANGES will include:
The Dark-Traveler π Tier will be Locked. Any patrons who are currently in the Dark-Travelers will retain the benefits of that tier (See early Commissions, early NSFW Artwork, and early Drow Story), but any future Multipage Comic Projects will be exclusive to the Dark-Nobles π Tier and above, once the current chapter of Drow Story concludes. No new members will be able to join the Dark-Traveler Tier after this change is made.
The Dark-Nobles π Tier will remain pretty much the same, you will continue to see all of my Animations and Comics early. The only big difference is that the SFW Drow Story suggestion box is ending.
The Dark-Thrones β¨ Tier will no longer make NSFW Drow Story suggestions, instead you will be invited to vote on the content of each new Comic Project and on the Animations that the Crowns suggest! You decide what Projects get tackled first.
The Dark-Crowns π Tier will continue to receive Emote Rewards alongside being invited to make suggestions for the content of the larger Comic Projects! I will ask you to provide prompts as you have before, and if those prompts are voted highest, then I will elaborate on your prompt and write a Multi-page Comic inspired by your idea!
I understand these are sweeping changes to the format that we've become familiar with over the last several years, so the multiple month pause to this Patreon will give you plenty of time to make any decisions that you'd like to without any donations.
Any Discord role that you have right now will remain with you until you make a change, you should still have access to all the same communication channels.
β When I re-open this Patreon, I will alert you a few weeks beforehand with another update like this one, so that you are not caught by surprise next year and can make any last-minute changes that you'd like to.
I have finally realized that, in crowd-sourcing all my artwork decisions, I have begun to lose my own creative voice. I intend to bring it back, in the hopes that you will love what I make for you; OCs and lots of lewd stories from my heart and my own horny-ass mind.
All this to say, I'm making big plans for new artwork to surprise and delight you.
Thank you everyone, for all that you have done for me,
Darker π€

Sad to see we wonβt have a voice comic wise anymore but so long as you keep making wonderful content you feel pride in, Iβll be happy.
