Happy New Year! Plans + art reward tier back!
🕑 Added 2021-01-02 22:12:22 +0000 UTCHello my darlings! My, 2020 is finally over...this past year felt both like a lifetime and a quick blur at the same time, and I know it's been hard on everyone, so I really hope 2021 will be kinder to all of us ♥
While I try to keep myself realistic in my goals, I can't help but make a million plans whenever the new year rolls around, so here are my hopes for 2021! I'd rather call them "hopes" than plans, since I know it'll be impossible to me to do all of them, but a girl can dream x,D I'll work hard to find a new, good working schedule that allows me to be more proficient, wish me luck! ♥
✦ Get back to work on comics! I'm working on re-doing Moon's Other Side chapter 2 and 3 storyboard (as you may remember, the originals got lost during my huge file crash back in summer) so that MOS can continue, as well as work on a shorter comic project called "Puella Draconis" ---a story in which the "princess kept prisoner by a dragon in a tower/castle" trope is played with, and the princess actually does not want to be saved, she already loves the dragon! (is this fueled by my scalie, dragon boy -loving self? 101% yes)
✦ Find a good work balance to be able to make weekly fanart, personal art and/or writing! I hope to be able to get back to stuff like Fanart Fridays, get back more into my personal projects and characters, and hopefully write more! I hope to write something at least weekly, the schedule I aim for is to have every week 1 fanart + 1 personal writing (stories, drabbles, worldbuilding or in-depth character bios) or 1 personal art + 1 fanfic! Current personal projects I'll most likely work on will be Crimson Anthesis, Lady of Woe and Fae Ring; as for fandom content, mainly Pokemon (SwSh focused!), Yugioh (Arc-V focused!) and maybe some Harry Potter founders stuff ^^
✦ Learn to make PVs and/or animatics! It's always been a dream of mine, gosh ;w; This is def more ambitious and idk if I'll manage by the end of the year, but hope to complete at least one PV or animatic! Will most likely start with fanart stuff to make some practice, and move to personal things once I get more confident. Same fandoms as the point above, have projects for all of them already! (I may have started a Lionheartshipping animatic storyboard already... u//w//u)
✦ Learn to make visual novels...?! Yes! I'm learning the ropes of it thanks to Ren'py and it's thankfully easier than I thought to make a basic visual novel! The hardest part is actually writing the script ahah x,D I have a Pokemon SwSh VN in the works (Sonia-centric college AU, with multiple dating possibilities), but I may switch to another, less ambitious project if I see this script gets too difficult to get done. But yes!! I'm so hyped!! ♥
✦ More? As always I have many more things I'd like to work on, but I know it's just not doable...I have archived the dream of making song covers for now, and I have some basic hopes I have every year like improving my artworks, catch up on my queue (tho this year I def see progress on how quickly I tackle it!), provide better rewards, improve my mental health and become more active in the community/with friends etc... These are more like everyday efforts than actual projects, so I'll just do my best every day! :3
That's it as far as projects go for this year! Again, I got lots more but they'll have to wait next years....if I even manage to get to this year's projects x,D
But, another change with the new year, I decided to re-open the art reward tier, but with a few edits ---namely, the price! It's increased, and I hope you won't be too shocked by the new price, but please keep in mind it covers the following:
--- Actual art price; my fullbody commissions are €65/$80ish, so the new price is more accurate to my actual commission prices!
--- Turnaround; the old tier's price was keeping in mind regular commission price and its turnaround ---which could be months! The new price reflects my quick delivery commission option and guarantees a one week delivery time! ♥
--- Guaranteed monthly art; currently, I'm so grateful to say that my commission slots sell in minutes here on Patreon, so not always people are able to snag one, and even if they do, there's a cooldown period in which they can't claim a slot the next 1-2 openings, to give a more fair chance to others to get their own commission. With this tier, you skip all that and are guaranteed to get your art monthly!
--- Other rewards; the $90 price tag is not just for the art of course, no matter the monthly guarantee I would never price more a reward than an actual commission! This price includes all previous rewards, including the monthly bases ($15 tier, with a much higher value, which makes the tier worth $95+), a monthly discount for your other purchases, and an older base of your choice for free!
--- Patreon fees; sadly, I have to factor these in as well, since between Patreon's fees and currency conversion fees from $ to € I lose around 15% ;w; it's something I hate to do, but I need to make sure the time and effort I put into my work are worth it if I wanna keep paying bills;;;
For now only 3 slots are available, it's a pricey tier so I doubt there's gonna be lots of people wanting it ahah x,D But if I see there's ever much demand for it, and I can juggle the rewards well with the other things, I may add a slot or two!
Thanks a lot for all the support given to me this year, my Patreon community is a blessing and I feel so grateful to have you all supporting me, allowing me to live doing what I love the most! I really hope you'll enjoy my future works and projects, and if there's anything you wish to see more of from me do let me know ♥
Love you all, thank you SO infinitely much for everything! ♥♥♥
(btw! as mentioned in the patreon discord server, I'm still off for the holidays! will probs be back into full working schedule after my birthday -the 12th-, until then I'll mainly be off to prep my future projects or just chill! ...and tbh I need a lot of chilling, since things irl aren't going well for my family, my cousins, aunt and grandma caught covid recently, and grandma especially has already lung cancer/one working lung so I'm...so worried...;;; sorry for the inactivity, but I've been living with the anxiety of losing someone else ever since dad passed away almost 2 years ago, so this is a nightmare come true... stay safe everyone ♥)
