Big news and some important changes!
🕑 Added 2025-02-18 00:31:31 +0000 UTCHello dear ones!
First of all thank you all for subscribing to my Patreon channel. In two months we are already 120 members. Something that I thought was impossible but I am very proud of it. The hard work and sleepless nights are paying off β€
The reason for my message is none other than to announce a few changes in the channel due to the growth of the community. And this I noticed especially in the Valentine's requests gift. There were 27 Valentine's Day requests. A real madness. As you know, my images are not only AI generated. They are all retouched in photoshop to correct many details, deformations, colors and so on. Editing 27 images has made me rethink how I want to carry out the requests of the users, because to be honest, I'm not entirely satisfied with some Valentine's requests. I know I could have done them better and that bothers me with myself. Besides, for me quality is more important than quantity and I want to offer you a good job and not take images without artistic vision. That's why for the requests we will implement a credit system in the future so that subscribers can redeem them for requests. Our idea is as follows:
π 1 USD = 1 credit
π 1 Requests = 30 credits (it's just an example)
Therefore, a tier 2 who has been in the channel for 6 months, will be able to ask for 1 requests. And the requests will be divided into the following sections:
Fan Art Requests
Icons
Illustration of 1 character without background
Illustration of 1 character with background
And some more ideas that we are thinking about
This is something we would like to implement for next month but it will take a little time.
Another thing I would like to point out is that the Discord New Ideas Channel i is NOT A REQUEST CHANNEL. It is a channel to propose ideas with a voting system where users from tier 2 can vote. Right now there are not many new ideas, but if it would also start to get out of control, the voting system would start to play its role. For example:
Open at the beginning of each month the New Ideas channel.
Users make their petitions
The 5 or 10 most voted ideas would be carried out.
That's why we always put the voting system in place, in case the New Ideas collapsed.
And why all these changes? I'm not going to deceive you. In the Valentine's Day requests I was a bit overwhelmed and overworked. And it has made me neglect the patreon content, like for example the comic A Night With Raygar or the voting for the new DaddyZine. This time there have been 27 special requests. But if in summer I make again some summer special requests and the community keeps growing, I can't cope with 60, 80 or 100 requests. That's why we are going to start regulating. I can understand that someone is upset with this and that it is not the idea he/she had of Patreon, but I am human and I can't handle so much work. I apologize to anyone who has been bothered by these changes. I love creating for you all, but I also need a healthy workflow to keep making quality content without burning out. You are many furries from different countries and each one of you have your own tastes. It's nice and wonderful to listen to all of you and not always make the same characters. I have an opportunity to meet new furrt characters and for you to meet them too. You never know where our next crush might be. πΎπ
And finally, Iβm excited to announce that Iβve launched two new tiers! π These tiers are limited in quantity, so be sure to check them out on the subscription panel before they fill up!
Additionally, Iβve added commission discounts starting from Tier 2 and up! Some of you who have already requested commissions have received this discount, but I wanted to make sure everyone is aware of it.
That's all from me, my dears. I hope these changes are understood. And again, if anyone has been disappointed, I can only assume my fault and apologize. I will continue to do my best to improve and learn. Thank you for joining me in this journey. I read you in comments β¨β¨Love you all β€

I understand and thank you for saying that no request is stupid.. I'm so sorry you felt this way and I'm sure you will be able to do everything with time... rest calmly and calmly resume everything you can do, no one pressures you, you are free to do whatever you want whenever you want... we are so active as a community because the art you create is truly magnificent and made by God, so it's normal to have that beautiful community that has been created thanks to your art

Ray, no one here is at fault, you were doing your best and you reached a point of exhaustion. But you can't blame yourself, please don't do thatπ, you're a very great, responsible content creator and you shouldn't overwork yourself, feel like you should always be better in what you do, because there's a point were things just go too far. But that's not your fault, you just wanted to make a good job and you got lost in that responsibility. So I repeat, it's not your fault, and I'm sure we agree on that. Of course I don't have to say this, but for me these changes are completely fine, it's even a relief actually, to see you unload so much stress and work off of your shoulders. I'm glad that you're taking this important stepβ€οΈ.

Oh no, not at all! No one has made stupid requests. No request is stupid and no one has the moral right to say whether or not it is stupid β€οΈ. Feel free Met to propose ideas and make your requests βΊοΈ. And please! You don't have to apologize. None of you need to apologize. It was my fault because I thought I was capable of doing everything and I have to learn to know my work limits. That's it! That you guys are so active in the community makes me very proud π€

I understand and I apologize for making stupid requests on the discord channel, I'm sorry... I understand the changes and certainly for your growth it is a wonderful thing, I realize that limiting these types of interactions is vital for you so I understand why you made this decision, obviously we all get carried away when there are requests and I personally apologize for being part of all this mess that made you feel bad ... I hope that in the future things will be better and with the launch of these new tears things will be managed better for you

No, there wasn't. People just write to me and ask for a commission. But hey, you're Daddy Fluff now, so you get a commission for yourself every month :3

Do you have any Alt versions in the works?

Were commissions available for application? How do I apply, and what is the format?
