I'm mind-blown. I'm flabbergasted. I'm... at a loss for words.
[This post was written by dreamertooth and has been translated for clarity. Please read all of it because there's some pretty critical stuff about patron and more rewards]
Three months ago, I expected to maybe have enough money for a better computer after a year of patreon and ko-fi. After just three months, your kind donations have not just got me there 4 times faster, but also enabled me to build a truly no-compromises PC (spec at the bottom) because you all believe I can do great things. And that has me absolutely blown away.
You thought something about me that I'd never even thought about myself. You thought I was worth something.
This is a thank you not just for the people who had some spare money to give, but to those who didn't. To those who have faith in my ability. It is a thank you for those who comment, like, favourite, join in, heart, sub, retweet, upvote and react to the work I make. It is a thanks to:
- Over 3000 e621 'hearts'
- Over 1000 e621 'upvotes'
- Over 400 FA watchers
- Over 300 Patreons in total
- Over 2500 Twitter followers
- Over 800 Discord members
6 months ago, I was just a car mechanic. But I type to all of you today as a loved and respected member of a community of people, each of whom is just as amazing in their own little ways. I don't just want to SAY thank you. Anybody can say Thank You. I want you to FEEL my gratitude. I want you to all understand just how much every single one of you means to me, and my only worry is not living up to your expectations, knowing that I'm still learning.
There will be times where I meet your expectations, but there will also be times where I'm late, or it's not the perfection I wanted to give you all. There will be lie-ins, and sleepless nights, days of not talking trying to make it just right, and days of non-stop chat waiting for renders to finish. Whatever happens, I love each and every one of you guys - I was never in it for the money, but your financial support has let me continue to do what I love, and I couldn't have done it without you. Patron or not, you've all made me feel so incredibly welcome like I have never felt before and I honestly cannot express my gratitude enough.
Thank you.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
As a special thank-you, I will be making a surprise visit somewhere. I will not say where or when yet, but I will be posting hints and live progress to my twitter. Think of it as a global game of find dreamer :P
At the end of this month, I'll be laser cutting the names of anyone who's given more than $10 onto the side of the PC you helped me buy, and illuminating it with RGB, as a real, physical thank you to the people who got me where I am today; please look out for pictures of this on the Twitter, Discord, and Patron.
My PC now only needs minor upgrades, but apparently some of you still want things like early access, voting rights, raw sounds, exclusive footage, and source files. Because of this, starting December 5th, the tiers will change. I will also close down ko-fi as it makes it difficult to track things and I want to focus on animating, though you're more than welcome to either donate with paypal, or just be a patreon for a month. The new tiers are:
- $5 - Early access, polls, 'exclusive livestreams', uncut/unedited footage, reserve camera angles
- $10 - Above, + your name on the next feature animation
- $20 - Above, + Access to project files, audio, and any experemental things I'm doing.
By 'Feature Animation', I mean any animation longer than 30 seconds which isn't a commission.
WAIT, COMMISSION?
I will announce on twitter and patreon when commissions will open: I am aiming for December 3rd. I am making an online tool which lets you customise exactly how you want your commission to look, including uploading references, saying how long you want it, fluids, and telling you how much it will cost, as well as giving automatic discounts for re-using old scenery, having your own models (or, models I want to make) and other stuff like that.
Please follow on Twitter and Patreon to know when I open commissions.
LIVESTREAM!?!
Lots of people have requested I do a livestream, and now I've got the equipment... Guess I'm doing it ^_^. There will be two kinds - normal, and exclusive. Exclusive livestreams will be for $5 patrons and over, and I'll do them whenever there's something new I want to try out. I can't guarentee they'll be GOOD (okay I can't guarentee the non-exclusive ones will be good either) but I can promise you'll see stuff you've never seen anywhere else
Normal streams will be bi-weekly on alternating saturdays and sundays (to make sure everyone can attend) at 1800UTC, starting Saturday December 22nd. The next one will therefore be Sunday 6th January.
DISCOUNTS:
Do you work as an EMT/MRT? Are you part of a police, fire, medical or rescue team? If the answer is yes, you have a stressful, non-stop and often under-paid job. I don't have the physique or mental hardness to ever, ever put myself in the positions you put yourself in on a daily basis. One day the life of myself of another patron could even be in your hands, and you shouldn't have to pay for anything you do to releave stress ;) . Message me a picture of your username alongside proof of your occupation (inside a fire truck or covering your real name on your uniform/badge, for example) on discord and I'll grant you access to the patreon-only section of the discord for free. You'll also get a badge of honor on an animation (unless you ask not to).
PC Spec:
- Ryzen 2700X
- Asus Duke GTX 1080Ti
- 16GB Corsair RGB RAM 2400Mhz
- RoG Strix X470 Motherboard
- Corsair 800W PSU
Planned upgrades with coming funding:
- A non-second-hand SSD
- Three 3TB HDDs to add to the NAS RAID array (so I don't have to keep deleting physics files)
- +32GB RAM (so scenes can show more cum at once)
- Maybe another GTX 1080Ti (So livestreams can go smoother, even when blender is rendering)
I also plan on getting a VR set. Because VR porn is cool.
Final Word
The next animations to be published will be various goodra ones, including normal, with condom, and hyper, within the next week if it all looks good. After that is a big boy charizard having a little private fun, and after that is an arceus learning a thing or two in zero gravity. There'll also be some feral latios and latias too and... well... there's lots of stuff to do. But there's one final thing I'd like to say...
[We left this untranslated]
