Patreon revamp, vacation, and future plans!
🕑 Added 2022-08-12 21:49:11 +0000 UTCHey guys, thought I'd let you know what's in the works for the future and a little news.
I'm going on vacation with my bun from tomorrow til about the 28th, so the end of the month will be unusually light on content. But, I'll be making up for it in September, because as another piece of good news, I'm completely caught up with owed, non-Patreon art finally, with the exception of some small alts or edits of already-finished pieces.
As many of you know, I've been dealing with an injury and the resulting art catch-up for about 2.5 years, and I'm finally nearly out of this mess. Art-wise, I'm there, hand-wise, almost.
Anyway, onto more exciting things - I've decided to revamp my Patreon to make it more and more something I focus exclusively on going forward. I love the little community we have here, and want it to thrive even more, so, with my saga of owed art finally coming to a close, I wanted to make some changes to the way my Patreon works going forward. Starting in September, here are my plans:
First, a shift in focus - I want to make this Patreon primarily about comics. Totally Not Gay will remain an ongoing saga, but I want to branch out into more of them going forward. Full illustrations are fun, but a bit less satisfying creatively, and TNG has had a really good reception so far, so I want to continue and see where it leads.
Second, a shift in horniness levels - I've been kinda timid to go full-on horny for many reasons. But over the past months (you've probably noticed), I've realized that I've just got to be shamelessly horny - after all, that's what we're here for, right??
Third, a rebalancing and rework of the tiers as follows:
Removing the $3 tier - ever since I made this tier, it's been my least popular option by far, so I think it's time to retire it and merge it with the next ($5) tier.
The $5 tier is just going to remain my all-inclusive "basics" tier - it'll contain all the benefits it currently does and will serve to just be a simple "I wanna see everything you do" tier.
The $10 tier is being kept basically the same as well - it's the same as the $5 tier but with a bit more options and max res art.
Now onto the NEW tiers:
The $20 tier is a bit of an experiment that I've seen go amazingly on other Patreons and I can't wait to try it - this tier is basically the $10 tier, but enhanced. For some of you on Brae's Patreon, you'll recognize this:
You'll give me some characters to draw (OCs or otherwise) and some keywords. I'll chose a certain number of these and periodically draw them in my colored sketch style as a kind of fun bonus content in between comic updates. Think of it as a "I really like your work and wanna see you do even more here!" tier, where you can help direct my content and sometimes get some characters drawn by me.
Also, if there are ever any cameos for scenes (like in the gym in TNG or other future comics, this is the tier I'll gather and use sonas from).
Please note: there will be no guaranteed art here for any one person; it will roughly monthly, but primarily used as a filler to get you guys some art while I otherwise can't open for commissions, and also to keep my Patreon content fresh and unique to you guys!
Retiring my $35 sketch tier to and opening a new $150 sketch/sticker tier.
I made this tier back when I was much less skilled and also wasn't even a full-time artist yet. Over time, it's become clear the price of this tier just doesn't justify the time spent on it and the level of work I want to do for it. In order to spend the amount of time it needs, plus to give the option of more elaborate 2-character sketches, which are the most popular type, OR full color stickers, I'm changing it to $150. For now I'm going to keep it at 2 slots, but if it goes well and people enjoy it, I'm moving it from 2 to 3 max slots as well later on in the year - probably closer to November. I want this to be a way anyone can get a sketch from me, even if I'm not currently open.
I don't expect many to stay in the $150 tier month to month, but if you just really wanna get a drawing or sticker from me and can't wait, this is your chance!
Anyway, that's all from your resident horny woof. I hope you find the future plans as exciting as I do, and here's to fresh starts! See you all in September
