IMPORTANT: Future changes
🕑 Added 2024-10-19 18:30:01 +0000 UTCOne of the hardest thing as a self-employed artist is to find the right balance between work and fun, because the moment when it stops being fun and it feels like a chore is where creativity starts to die, and I'm not going to mince my words: this year I have been very close to that. So in order to avoid falling into that trap I have decided that its time to adress the issue and make some changes to the way things go in this patreon, because I love making kinky art and I would like to keep going for as long as I'm physically able to do so.
1 - Poll changes
Polls will keep working mostly as usual with some changes:
I will no longer submit an entry of my own, I have noticed that it doed affect me more than I would like to admit when a character I would really like to draw doesn't get enough votes, because that meant that I am not allowed to draw them for at least 2 whole months (because I'm not the kind of person who would say "screw the poll results, I'm drawing them anyway", rules must be followed after all) so I decided that from now on poll entries will consist entirely of patron' submissions.
Polls will happen each 3 months. Currently we have a poll each 2 months, which used to be mostly fine since it was enough time to work on these results, but when multiple ties occur the workload only gets heavier, and in case you haven't noticed I have been pushing myself to polish my skills and making them more detailed adding shadows and trying new things, which is great but also increases the time I have to put in every piece, so I have decided to change the schedule to a 3 month cycle, especially considering the next point.
2 - NEW ACTIVITY: Spotlight characters
This new activity will happen the month after a poll is over (so, we will be starting this next November) and will be very simple: I will put one (or more) character I'm interested in drawing and you all will be able to comment what kink you would like to see them featured in a future drawing. I think this would be a good way to boost my personal enjoyment while also measuring what you all want type fo content you want to see more of. This activity will be available to all patrons, I will try to feature popular characters so it can reach more people.
That would be all for today, I hope I made myself clear why I need to make these changes, because I know myself and I know that the second I start hating my job I will just stop and I want to avoid that at all cost. Thank you for reading and please let me know what you think in the comments
