2022 PATREON CHANGES
🕑 Added 2022-01-23 01:08:16 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
2022 has started, and as I anticipated some update ago, this year I was planning some new changes for Patreon tiers and rewards.
When I started in 2018, I wasn't expecting my Patreon could grow so popular, and I dedicated myself to keeping up with every weekly/month reward. It started as a fanart place, from LWA to Revue and Fire emblem, and I added some Spicy strips to force myself to get out of my comfort zone and improve as an artist. Then I started to develop more original content, leading to the creation of Kiss it Goodbye. Which, again, didn't expect to become so popular to become one of the nominated best series of 2021 (which, btw, didn't win, but thank you for voting anyway, the final number is insane and not that different from the one who won, so THANK YOU, for me it's a personal win to got that far!)
But since 2018, my workload changed, and while I was able to keep up with everything, comic and patreon every month, when I was done with it I fell into a huge burnout that left me with no will to pick a pen for weeks. I used that time to get a hang of my health, both physical and mental, and I'm getting back on my feet now, I have so many things to do and my creativity is slowly going back to me, but! If I learned something from this story is that being a one-man team has its limits.
So, here are the new changes for Patreon:
Tier 1: WIll always have access to previews and early access!
Tier 2: (normal pdf tier) IS GONE. I.. might have deleted it too early, but the old tier 2 is no longer here. I've sent a DM to all those who were into that tier, so please check your inbox.
Tier 3: (Spicy pdf): WILL NO LONGER HAVE SPICY COMIC ONESHOTS. Normal PDF sketch dump will have between 6/8 pages every month from now on, to compensate for the price. It will still contain suggestive content (artistic nudes, or soft erotic/not explicit stuff), but no more extra comic strips. (for those who want to know why this changes, I'll write more at the end of this post).
No changes in prices, just the content I'll offer. I'm sorry if these changes arrive kind of late, but I thought for a long time about it. I think it's time for me to move on from the fanart-centric content, and focus more on what original I can bring to you. I want to create more comics, more WLW content that I hope people will enjoy as KIG. Does it mean I'll stop doing fanart/ship art? Oh absolutely not, expect more from me, here and on my socials, everywhere (and let me tell you, I'm just done with the last revue starlight movie and I'm crying.) just, the ratio will be different.
As for why I'm not doing any more nsfw strips... it's because I really reached my limit in forcing myself to deliver soft porn on a monthly basis. I started as a dare to myself to get brave enough to draw them, but lately, it wasn't even fun anymore, it just felt as a duty than something I was enjoying doing. Does this mean I'll never draw boobs ever again?? Oh, no, I'll probably sneak some into the new tier 2, just no more 15/20 panels per update. And if I ever get the inspiration for a story-driven R18 comic, I prefer to do it in a doujinji style to sell separately as a digital comic/print it for conventions, with the quality I want and not with the quality I'm forced to use due time/energies.
I hope you can understand why of these changes, and that you can see them not as a nerf, but as an improvement of what has to come!
I thank you all for your patronage, support and kind messages. I give a digital hug to every one of you ♥

Just checking in; you doing okay? Hope so. Here in Portland, Oregon it's the middle of the "Dark Ages", the cold, wet part of the year when everyone who hates cold and wet gets the blues. Here's wishing you sunny, warm comfort....
Thank you Ticcy, I'm with You on this patreon journey since beginning and You gave me tons of wonderful moments. I'm delighted you decided to focus more on the original content. It's the thing I love the most and I would like to see you blooming creating your own stories in your great style. Thank you for creating for us! Your art is priceless and couple of EUR monthly is nothing compare to the load of emotions it offers. I hope you would find the perfect balance soon.
