Plans Moving Forward
🕑 Added 2024-01-31 16:02:28 +0000 UTCHello! Long story short, I think I will be converting this Patreon into more of a tip jar with some extra bonuses. After having a month to rest from it on my own volition, I think the general format of polls and how I work on them wasn't very good for my anxiety/ADHD combo, and ended up adding some extra stress to the end of months on top of some late-month bills and rent. The Christmas season was extra rough since I was making gifts for friends and was just mainly thinking, I should at least be doing some stuff that's on my own schedule and of things I'm more interested in. To that end, I want to turn my Patreon into what it's literally titled after, my own imagined laboratory that my fursona is in charge of in my worldbuilding. That is to say, I'd post more about said headworld and scenes and tech from it.
If you're familiar with my art on twitter already, it is going to be more of that, but with a bit more continuity. I designed a planet where most everyone is a huge fatfur and spent a lot of time coming up with designs, technology, and cultural stuff to work in a societal WG/fat setting and you may find them interesting as well! All of that stuff would be free to view, and I'd have maybe 3 tiers of different amounts to pledge per month depending on how much you would like to support my work in general! I think that would take a lot of the edge off of working on this platform for me. And in any case, I will still be posting lots of art to twitter (and some gallery site, probably Toyhouse or FA if no magical alternatives show up, Itaku is another contender in that regard). I plan on keeping sketchdumps the way they were (available to all paid subscribers) since they are exclusive extra work that I don't plan on sharing with the public, but have some interesting process work and extra ideas which I think is enough to remain a paid perk.
Attached are a bunch of drawings I've done under the worldbuilding theme previously mentioned! For February, I will be tweeting a lot more about that stuff and gauging interest. That is to say, I will probably disable billing for February as well while I figure this out. Many apologies for the drought, but I want to make the stuff I do put out both the highest quality and the least stressful to me.
I will still be doing tutorials and such, as I planned, but probably just posted to main, since I would want any information I put out to be freely accessible. It still might be good to upload them here so they are easily accessible, and once I have enough I might release a cheap paid tutorial pack with a bunch of them collected and sorted by topic, with any extra notes I may have missed upon first making them. Art streams will most likely start this year as well, just gotta get less shy, more or less c:
But yes, that's about the size of it! It may not be what people were expecting, but I do hope you stick around, even if not paying, because one of my big things this year was wanting to share my character/worldbuilding ideas more because it's one of my passions, and I think this will make me a lot happier regardless of how it works out monetarily. Thanks to all of you for supporting and listening, and of course feel free to ask questions if you have any!
