Fanbox Update - May 2024
🕑 Added 2024-05-21 14:00:00 +0000 UTCGreetings once again. Sorry for the 2 weeks delay. Gotta get ya in check quickly.
Mentions:
Thank you so much for your support! I hope the next month be able to bring some things i've promised time ago.
Also sorry for Ucu and the single Tier 0 Fan who leaved :(
Summer of changes:
About the new PC quest, most of the parts are already here. I just have to wait for the last bits before assembly. Meanwhile gotta have to stick to the laptop a bit more (And wait for a surprise cold to cure ._.). For June, i should be back properly on track.
As for pricing...I might need to do some changes to accomodate to some things i've been finding punishing, for both sides. Also to pair things if i manage to open a Substar or another alternative to Fanbox. If i can, i would try to apply the changes for the next month (as i can't even run Inkscape in this laptop).
Starting with Commission pricing:
- The Cuts pricing will be exponential instead of lineal. Since usually details increase the higher you go. Also Western Cuts would be been removed due lack of use. Full bodies are untouched.
- Chibis discount would be reduced to 20% or 25%. They have proved to be as challenging as normal bodies.
- Backgrounds prices would be in pair with renders. Also i've been trying a style of Background that would make it more accesible.
NSFW Protocol will be unified. Now both Normal and Underwater fees are the same. It shouldn't punish UW clients, and encourage Normal ones to buy.
Lastly, i would have to increase the Fanbox fees. Due Yen value falling quickly, and to be in pair with Substar fees in dollars, which also highly discourage fees lower than 5 USD. The main problem is that Fanbox doesn't allows to change prices once set. I would have to:
1 - Make new tiers with the new prices
2 - Disale older tiers
3 - Wait for people to move to the new ones
4 - Delet the old ones.
In exchange, to encourage Tier 3 the new machine should allow me to make the edited Timelapses i tried last year, as well to retake Tier 2 and 3 events and draw in higer resolution for Tier 1. Also i could post PNG renders and Backgrounds to Tier 3. It would be like:
Tier 1: Early Art and Full Resolution
Tier 2: Exclusive pieces and Variants
Tier 3: Process and Dissasembled Art
Lastly, i wanted to make my bussines a bit more organized
- I could replace my Linktree with Carrd, which has better customization.
- I was thinking in replace my makeshift queue page (which is just a doc file) with Vgen or Trello, pages dedicated to that.
- And i wanted to open a ArtStation or use Vgen as a SFW portfolio. Just in case i need one (of course i can't use my Pixiv or DeviantArt full of drownies)
- In matter of the previous point...I would encourage to ask for more SFW commissions in the future, so i can fill it up. Just a personal petition to you.
Plans for the month:
I apologize for the nerfs in discounts and Fanbox fees. I really felt some decisions quite punishing to both sides. Also Banks war against NSFW and Yen downfall are making things quite dread. In the bright side, I'll finally be no longer limited by my set up, let's hope everything goes well.
Gived the hug amount of changes planned for this summer, i really would appreciate some actual feedback. The Comments Section and my Discord Server are always open to get your opinions, i would really appreciate it.
Summer is getting close, get your swimsuits ready for the beach.
I wish you progress and Luck! π·π₯πΌπΌπΉ
