***VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE, please read it***
🕑 Added 2020-03-30 20:00:37 +0000 UTCHello dear patrons,
you're certainly aware about what's happening in the world lately. All medias are talking about it 24/7 so I don't have much to add about it apart from recommending to distantiate, stay home as much as possible and wash your hands carefully.
I'm sorry but this is going to be a long post so I made separate paragraphs based on their subject.
***EXISTENTIAL MONOLOGUE***
This is maybe the very first time I'm talking about myself. I'm the kind of person who always try to live on their own terms. Knew from experience that life isn't granted and that things can suddenly take a wrong turn(which could be taken litteraly while driving). Through this reasonning I choose to be an artist and do my best within my uncertain lifespan. I think the long time supporters can confirm how dedicated and reliable I've been ever since my Patreon launch in May 2016. I feel proud of my consistency through the years despite the hardships.
***TO THE SUPPORTERS***
I'm miles away from being the unluckiest person in the world but I'm not at the point where my income is sufficient to be fully safe yet. Of course I feel indebted to all the patrons who contributed through the years, from the ones briefly passing by to the faithful and considerate ones who are there since the beginning. Thank you so much everyone!
This is a hard time for everybody and I'm not going to resent anybody who choose to reduce or drop their support for their safety. I'm just an humble artist and don't think my own life is an higher priority over anybody else no matter what.
***REGARDING THE PATREON***
I've been thinking a lot about it and choose to keep my Patreon running for now. As usual I'll make sure to post content consistently and keep you updated in case things happen.
I'm not going to produce artworks this week and focus on preparing and discuss about the things below. Don't worry, there will be 4 weekly warmup batches during April and all the usual stuff like every month.
***I'M CONSIDERING ABOUT INCLUDING NEW FEATURES, DEPENDING OF THEIR RESPECTIVE WORKLOAD. Maybe the inclusion of any of them may require to reduce another existing ones:
-Warmup sketch colorizing(moderate workload): I think there's some past warmup sketches that may deserve to get some colors. Honestly I feel like some of them are so clean they almost look like proper linearts. It may be decided through a poll which warmup sketch will get colorized. It may happen 1-2 times a month.
-Interactive "camgirl"(maybe in monochrome to save time): One girl is on webcam and the audience can suggest her next action in the following picture. I think the character should be original but tailored based on all patrons vote. The high tier patrons will suggest the actions of the camgirl and then all patrons will vote on which action they prefer. I don't know yet at what pace I can draw them.
-Patron's drawing redraw(depends of the level of detail): a patron can submit one of their own drawing and I will redraw it my own way. The patron will have no right to commercially use the artwork, neither will I.
These are the ones I figured out for now, what do you think? Feel free to speak up if you have any suggestion.(through PM if your prefer)
I don't know what's going to happen in the future but let's do our best together. We don't have much choice and as long as I get support I'll keep doing my thing.
Good luck and stay safe everyone,
NT

The camgirl feature sounds entertaining from a creative standpoint. Not sure how exactly it will work yet. Maybe some short "beta testing" will be necessary for a while.

You've definitely been working hard and I hope you stay healthy during these times. The camgirl idea sounds great! I've always wanted to see more contextual/series type stuff 👍
NT
I agree, there are a significant amount of sketches that keep growing continuously. I may leave some of the high support patrons choose which sketch they want colorized and then decide through a poll available to all patrons.

in that case, I think the colorizing sketches would be the coolest.

All of the possibilities sound great, and I especially like the warmup sketch coloring idea. You've worked hard and made a lot of sketches, so I think it would be good to do this - which ones by your choice or through a poll or maybe both.
NT
It's good to know you're fine with all of them but we may have to pick one or two in priority, at least for now.
NT
Yeah, sounds good on paper but has yet to be put into practice.
crufl
I'm good with whatever you do. They're all cool ideas!

I like them all. The cam girl is a really unique idea
