Hello! It's Alt.Season here! For over a year and a half I've been left this page with nothing new to post. I remembered I said that I'd treat this page as a Tip for anyone who's interested in supporting me for doing what I do. Thank you, from all the bottom of my heart, for those who's still supporting me.
I have been reactivated my online art side of things both clean and nsfw. Wanting to rekindle my fire of creating content ever since I've been busy with animation job. I've been starting my own website and writing some of my own blog. If you guys are interested, you can check out at my website. It's my own personal blog for posting stuffs I'm interested in, thought provoking things in my life, and some of the work that I've done with some of my portfolio as well.
Sadly, I would not include any of my nsfw work related (including this page) into my personal blog because of my personal view of wanting to keep nsfw things excluded from my personal life. But I will treat my nsfw line of work as another work related that I wanted to share with my audiences who are really, REALLY, interested in this side of things. I think that making nsfw work is a hard job to do from my perspective of my five years of doing work in art and animation industry. So, I'm not going to abandon making naughty drawings. Just wanted to make it clear.
So, with that out of the way, what's my plan for this page. As I'm searching for the best places to be posting all of my nsfw work, old and new, I've come up with some choices to make. First, I need to find a place where I can rely on, both stability and viability. I usually post my nsfw work on my twitter and still is today. But things can get scattered pretty quickly for those who didn't keep up with my latest work and all of the retweet that will get piled down pretty quickly. Only one pin tweet that people will see, and I think that's shame for other work that I put my time and effort into for some of the people to see. I wanted some places that I can organize my drawing into places that it should be so that people can look it up with ease.
Next, I reexamined my old tumblr blog that's been flagged for like 5 years ever since the purged. Trying to change and make it possible to post and get people to see my work but to no avail. I still need to jump through hoops to be able to get my old blog running again like it used to be, and it would be at the mercy of the bot that's checking whether I post something that's out of the line. One day, I might get flagged and all my work got paused again. I don't like that sort of thing, like I have to behave in front of a teacher that strictly follow rules or sometimes look the other way.
Itaku, Furaffinity, Pixiv seems to have some promises, but I don't like some of the old feeling that I got when I used them, some might have look like an old relic for me when my daily websites have the looks and feels of a modern age. I still think they have a community there. Some like Itaku had a robust posting and gallery system that makes me wanted to test it furthermore. But clunky and slow is the things that I felt when using these sites. I might use it to reach for potential new audiences in the future, but these will not be my main one.
So, why then I chose Patreon to be my main posting platform for my NSFW work related. I think because I become comfortable with the website as I worked with Patreon for seven years (Time flies, man). More other than that, the website has been updated for many, many iterations, with many features added every once or twice each year. that I think it's a sign of a good platform that will not be left behind soon. And then there's a monetization built into the platform for it to be my other source of income that, at first, I'm not comfortable with people spending any amount of money for me as a hobbyist drawing some scribble of porn on the internet. But with time and experience I got from working in an animation industry, maybe I'm a little bit mature about money and work now that I can see why people spend money on things they want to spend. I, too, am one of them patron that wanted to support who I love, with my hard-earned money.
Patreon is not really a social network, for me at least. But a place that I can build a safe place for this line of work and for those who's interested in and want to follow with me on my journey, with some help along the way. I work by myself so hey, at least I got to make some money while we're at it. I will not charge money where it's not appropriate for me and for my audiences. I've learned my fair share from using and look at this platform as money-making machine, only for to drain your wallet dry.
My first steps are to gather all my old works and post it on my Patreon with cleaner tags, and group. So, you can search and view what I've been doing with ease. My format will be something like this.
I will gradually be rolling out more posts for each month from 2022 downward. When all is done, I will be making these collections as an end of the month reward.
The Collections will be for my patrons only. I will still make individual post of my drawings when it's done and post it normally, on Patreon and elsewhere.
In Patreon, each work I post will have my insights of how I came up with the work and how I do it. Elsewhere would get just a simple headline. I'd be more interested in adding value to the things I make instead of locking it behind a paywall that 90% of people will never see. Collections is a way for me to keep all of my past works organized and the future me and other people to see what I've been accomplished without having to dive through hundreds of single drawings, most likely will be wips and some other update. I hope this will help preserve all of my works within the world wide web for the people to see and appreciate them as I am.
Next time, I will share the next step of my plan for this Patreon page. Until then, stay safe and have a good day!
