New plans
🕑 Added 2016-04-06 21:20:01 +0000 UTC Alright, I had decided that I will not be closing my Patreon, so that' that. But I will make some changes as to how I will use Patreon form now on.Another reason I realized for why I most likely had a sudden drop of supporters is because the majority of the content I create I post it publicly over my other sites like deviantart and tumblr, even stuff that I had here on Patreon exsluveily for up to 2 months, like those Halloween themed illustrations I did back October and then posted them all on DA 2 months later, I never really gained any new patrons when I posted them.
I thought that another reason was because I wasn't posting enough content every month, but I had found some artists post only one thing a month, and yet they still receive plenty of support.
So, one thing what I will be doing now, is that I will be creating a new type of illustrations, one that has characters that have varied versions of looks and feel, you'll see what I mean when I start posting them, and for these I will have them here exclusively on Patreon for up to 4 months, and even then the versions I post publicly will be just one version of such illustrations.
I had finally decided that I will be making exclusive Adult artworks, these seems to be one thing a lot patrons do to gain more support. these adult themed drawings will be nude pin-ups.
I got some feedback thanks to Chris (Crimsonight) telling me how PSDs can be useful to see how they are when I work on them, but they are not necessarily something that he uses all the time. Still I feel I will be giving away PSD files, and I will work on making them more useful for people that are interested on how I do my work.
So to put it in short, I will still have my Patreon up, I will be creating a new type of artworks that will remain Patreon exclusive for a long time, and I will have adult themed artworks that will be remain exclusive here for at least a year long.

That's true, yeah. But I don't want to make the adult arts the main focus right now, and I'll do my best to keep separate the adult works from the rest of it since I'm aware not everyone likes those.

Well, making adult works is a double-edged sword. You gain some supporters, you lose some.
