Big End of the Year 2022 Review and Looking forward to 2023!
🕑 Added 2022-12-22 08:56:04 +0000 UTCHello everyone and thank you so much for your support.
This is a big end-of-the-year update so if you’re interested read on. If you want the short version, it’s been a great year thanks to your support and encouragement. More to come in 2023
This year we hit nine hours of total transformation movies available for our Patreon and Gumroad Animation Tiers. That’s really incredible and it’s all due to your support so THANK YOU. The movies have been happening for about three (or four) years and we’ve had a monthly release EVERY month since then. We are about to finish our fifth movie arc this month. We will be starting up a new one in January 2023. I’m very happy with the way the movies are coming along and I hope you agree. I’ve worked hard to increase the production values and have a few ideas to boost things further.
We’ve also had more user polls than ever, we’ve had a lot of one-shot color pages and comic pages released this year. I opened a Gumroad store where you can support my efforts . On that Gumroad store you can find movies, an alternate to Patreon membership, as well as comics for sale.
Looking ahead to 2023
You know your old pal Ready, I’m always looking ahead and thinking of ways to bring you more art and animation. I’m going to list out things I’m looking at for during 2023, none of these things are set in stone at this point. I want to put them out there so you know what I’m thinking. Maybe you have ideas of your own! Again, to be clear, these are only ideas!
Animations and movies (Voice Acting)
Voice acting! This one has come up a few times from various users and is something I’d like to do. I’m seriously considering adding voice acting to the movies. I don’t have details as to how that would affect the schedule and what that would mean in terms of the large cast of ladies we have. I’m only putting out there because I recently heard some acting samples that really got me thinking.
I’ve begun doing very initial screenings of possible actresses to fill various roles. There is no timetable at the moment so don’t look for something in the next week or even the next month. That said, I’m curious if you would be interested in something like this. I do feel it would add quite a bit of “oomph” to the animations.
Looking for assistance
Something that’s always been on my mind is to get help with things like the comics and possibly the animations. Right now, this entire production is done completely by me. There is nobody else, I do all the work, all the drawing, all the animation and manage all my sites. I don’t say that to brag I just say it to clarify where my time is spent. If I had just one person helping me with things like comics or even with the movies, I suspect I could do a lot more and maybe bring in some of these extras like voice acting.
If you’re out there reading this and you think you might want to help with something they get in touch with me. My email is granitelog(at)hotmail(dot)com or you can message me through here. Specifically, I’m looking for people that would be interested in working with me on the movies in things like Adobe Premiere or something similar to that. This could also be a job that helps me organize and implement the voice acting. This could also be something like helping with a lettering of the comics. I’ve asked for help before and I’ve got great responses so maybe this time we can get another round of awesome folks who might be able to help. I want to add this would be a paid position! All the details would have to be hammered out well in advance before any work started. Just know, I’m not asking you to work for free and I would pay fairly.
Something else I wouldn’t mind help with is managing my social media and store sites. As you know I have the Patreon, my main site, deviantArt, a Twitter account, various other transformation art sites accounts as well as the Gumroad store. All that stuff needs regular checkups and maintenance.
Comics
As I mentioned above, comic work continues. Comics have always been my passion and I love making them. I love doing one-off drawing pages. I love coloring comic pages. All around, doing transformation comic art is a blast. I have hundreds of pages of comics that need final scripting and lettering. Boy, I would love to get assistance on that. I’ve had help in the past but I’ve drawn a lot of comics since then and could use more help with lettering and overall scripting.
What does all this mean?
Right now, I plan on keeping my rate of production and commitment to transformation art and animation. I don’t see that changing at all. Some things I would like to see happen are the production on the animations going up. Voice acting is on that list!
Basically, I want to keep pushing to get you and myself the best possible stuff. I also am committed to bringing a great value all my friends and fans. I know not everybody can afford to be a Patreon or to subscribe to my Gumroad or to even pay for any of this stuff. I know what it was like for me when I was coming up. I didn’t have a lot of money and I really had to scrounge around to find good art. Now that I’m in a position to bring you art, I want to make sure I’m getting you the best value possible. I like to think every person that subscribes to my Patreon or any of my paid sites feels they got more than their money’s worth every time they do so.
Thank you again
This has been a bit of a ramble but I appreciate those of you who stuck in there to the end. Lotta stuff coming in 2023 and I’m looking into a lot of things at the moment. Will all of them happen? Maybe, maybe not. I am seriously checking into everything I’m talking about but as I mentioned above, I can’t guarantee all of this is going to happen or that it’s all going to happen immediately. A lot of that comes down to my own abilities as well as my ability to find help.
