Upcoming reworks, benefits and rewards
🕑 Added 2022-04-25 23:25:15 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
How you've been? I hope you're all doing great as always!
It's been a while without any news and a supah-ultra-large-post with all the updates and news I've been thinking for a while and I think this is the best moment to share all of those details before resuming the work!
As previously said, part of the changes to be expected during 2022 are the inclusion and improvement of certain benefits on which you can expect:
Constantly posting content on the Patreon Feed
- As some may remember, a lot of creators(including me) got suspended due the content uploaded to the platform. In order to avoid that again, all the content publicly posted on my feed will be SFW only.
- NSFW stuff will be posted normally and will be available for all tiers. You can still find all the sketches and completed images on the Archive folder so you won't miss anything.
- The NSFW content you will find in the feed will be restricted mostly for the following topics: suspicious characters(in body complex and designs that may look underage and canon age). Di5ney and N1ntend0 is also red flagged(characters from their shows will receive content but they will not appear in this feed)
- Sometimes I may 'accidentally' upload a risky character to the feed. When this happens the post will be available for a pair of days and then it will be edited with a new thumbnail to avoid bigger problems. The 'removed' images will remain untouched in the Archive folder, the link will be added as a shortcut in each post.
The re-launch of the coin store
- I've been working on the numbers of this and I think it will work efficiently now for a long time, once it is released everyone will have the chance to use them and claim the rewards given by them. The goal is to make them an interactive system where everyone can get all kind of rewards(almost 1 year on rework state omg...)
Monthly content
Monthly content will be resumed soon and now we have official dates for each event. Suggestion period should start the 7th of each month and finish on the 15th. The monthly Poll should be the 16th. All patrons can suggest but the quantity is limited by your tier.
- A new suggestion and poll phase will be added for additional monthly content; The Queen of the month: patrons on $10+ tier can choose their favorite character to receive thematic illustrations during the month. The Queen content will be part of the monthly packs but some works will remain exclusive of the Prestige pack.
Packs(Shiny, Prestige and...)
The monthly packs are something I've been thinking a lot as there's barely any difference between them. Instead of making it a complex process selecting the content, I will implement some changes for each of the reward packs:
Shiny Pack($5 tier)
- This was the most confusing pack as the contents in it were not truly defined. In order to change that, now it will contain all the works made during the monthly period. All the images variations and sketches will now be available here. The images in this pack will have 60% of the original resolution(public images are only 30% of the original) and will have watermarks on them.
Prestige Pack(+$10)
- With the update on the lower version, Prestige needs to glow more than before and it will but slowly. Most of its features will remain unchanged(images at 100% resolution, no watermarks, full exclusives) but they will receive a pair of exclusive sketches and illustrations including the Queen of the Month which will only be available here and, in the future, will include more benefits if you're interested in them(such as animation/gifs, time lapses, guided speed paint for a chosen work, .PSD/.clip files, etc.) We can even make it interactive with the coin store... Lots of possibilities
Tiers and benefits
Changes on tiers are not a priority as I think they're in a good spot right now as they received an adjustment with the benefits a few months ago, a new tier will be arriving with the coin update mainly focused on coin collectors and its rewards. The information on this tier will arrive with the coin store re-opening.
The creation of a comic/doujin is a goal that I'm trying to figure out on how to do it. I have a few ideas to start with as a practice and, if it works, maybe manage o create one between everyone and then, commission comic pages for those who are interested.
Commission changes
I appreciate the opportunity you give me by commissioning your favorite characters to me but sometimes I complicate myself with lots of work and these changes are meant to make it a little bit easier.
I listed a pair of changes on commissions mostly focused on the shading. This changes are planned to arrive on January 2023. More commission slot tiers will be available on May 1st for those interested in getting one.
The main changes on commissions are the following:
- Commissions/requests will now be available in 3 formats: sketch(black and white), colored line art and cel shade.
- $15 Cupcake tier will be removed.
- $25 and $40 tiers will be updated.
- More commission tiers will be added.
- A new tier focused on comic/doujin commissioned pages(open to changes) will arrive.
Goals
One of my personal goals for this year is the final creation and re-launch of my first OC and who knows, maybe stream a bit some illustrations, I'm preparing everything and creating my accounts on piczel and pomf... let's see how it goes..
Thank you for trusting me and supporting this project! It means a lot to me to see your love and feedback every time! ♥ Please let me know what you think on the changes and your questions. Ohh and suggestions should be back this week too!! We almost finished everything!!
Stay safe, see you around!
