EXTREMELY IMPORTANT Announcment: Changes to my Patreon
🕑 Added 2024-11-28 12:01:33 +0000 UTC
Hi everyone, I wish to announce a few big changes that will be coming to my Patreon page very soon.
So before anything, I am so happy that I have been able to have a sustainable and consistent community that has supported me and grown throughout these months, I have started my page in early February and it's been almost 10 months since this page has launched and I am glad to have done so many commissions (over 100+!) and have gained so much experience throughout all this time. ♥
New Upload Schedule
Currently I wish to be honest on how the current pace of my uploads is rather difficult for me to keep up with. I have a life, and a full time job and I wish to also focus on my studies in the very near future so I am unable to constantly upload twice per day.
The upload schedule brings me a lot of pressure and sometimes it prevents me from even spending time with people I care about or friends/family and even keeps me from spending time with myself or even traveling.
Some people may think "oh well it should be easy, hit a button and bam 40 images" but this isn't the case. I focus on quality over quantity compared to most people.
Here's an example of before and after edits of a previous commission:
All of my edits change the quality of images, add and remove things and fix broken or extra limbs/fingers/feet, or even adding/removing characters or changing clothing or even facial expressions or breast sizes, etc.
So moving forward I am making changes to my schedule and now I will change to uploading (x2) images every 3 days instead of daily starting December 1st.
This gives me more room to focus on quality without having to rush some art, and also allows me to avoid burnout and spend time in my life instead of going straight to my full time job ➡ then art ➡and then sleep just to repeat this process.
Returning Comics
Back when I was still a newer Patreon page, many people joined and loved my previous comics until I changed the way my page works.
You can even view a recent comic I made on my twitter (couldn't post here to ToS) to get a preview of what comics will look like in the future!
So I will be doing comics again starting next month there will be a monthly comic that includes (x4) pages and a cover image, also this will include a text and non-text version for those who want the full comic without text.
Comics are generally hard to make, they require multiple edits due to multiple faces, fingers, limbs and pictures of a character or even multiple characters. Comics are something that not every person can make and makes it an even more unique thing I can offer to my Patreon users who support me.
The comics will be available for all tiers so everyone can have more exclusive content and I will be adding a new feature to $10 tier and above by giving them the ability to vote for the character that can be in the next upcoming comic. This first poll will launch in December.
The upcoming comic in December will be themed around the Christmas holidays. The character will be voted on by the community (Premium tier and above)
Comics will only have the Cover + a small fraction of a random page posted publicly at a lower resolution and watermarked or possibly a page but partially blurred. Everything else in the comic will be 100% exclusive and only able to be seen fully here at my Patreon.
Premium Subscription Tier
So as mentioned above, Premium members and above will gain the ability to vote on upcoming comics with a poll that will be available within the month.
But sadly I will be removing their ability to commission.
There is a few reasons for this:
1. It is the lowest subscribed tier
2. Only a small fraction (13.33%) of users in this tier actually request a commission.
3. Most feedback I receive in this tier is people joining for exclusive content (Subscriber Rewards)
4. This was a feature I initially added when my Patreon was new to set an easy entry into commissioning but most people just subscribe to the Hentai Lover tier instead or just upgrade to it.
This will be in effect immediately, anyone who has been subscribed to premium prior to this post may commission if you haven't already.
If you are an monthly or annual subscriber, you will still be able to request your commission until your current subscription expires.
New premium users after this post are no longer eligible for a commission.
I do apologize for removing this feature, if you wish to unsubscribe or even change to a different tier I completely understand.
Hentai Lover Tier
As for this tier, I have some changes coming to this tier I have been wanting to do for a while.
This tier will also gain the ability to vote on the poll for the next upcoming comic along with the Premium tier.
I have been wanting to limit the amount of commissions I do per month to around 8 but unfortunately Patreon doesn't allow me to lower the limit of members if it exceeds the number (For example I can't limit it 8 slots if I have 40+ current existing members.) (Example number)
I also cannot limit this tier because Hentai Lover Pack rewards are attached to it, and locking out other users would make the content scarce and unobtainable for a vast majority of users.
I also do not wish to delete the tier since I have some annual subscribers who also cannot swap to a different tier and I do not wish to alienate them, nor do I wish to prevent them viewing from content they paid for.
This leads me onto the only option of creating a new tier.
This means that newer Hentai Lovers will no longer be eligible to commission unless they upgrade to the "Commission tier"
If you are an annual subscriber, or a current subscriber (prior to this post) do not worry you will still be able to commission until your current subscription expires.
So thus I will be creating a new tier which is the "Commission Tier" this will be at 25 USD, more on this below.
Commission Tier
This will be the new tier for commissions.
You may request as previously 2 solo or 1 duo image and same rules still apply.
There will be a maximum of 7 slots.
You will have all the benefits of the previous tiers.
Due to the tier being limited in slots the price for a commission will now be 25 USD.
This tier will be created immediately after this post.
Current users of the "Hentai Lover" tier as of this post going live may still commission until their monthly subscription expires.
Newer Hentai Lover members (who join after this post) will no longer be eligible to commission unless they are in the commission tier.
Commissions will only be posted on Patreon moving forward and no longer posted publicly, this allows them to be more exclusive.
Edit: Made some changes, but commissions will still count towards the exclusive daily posts.
Exclusivity
So for the current images that release (x2) images per 3 days, they will now no longer be posted publicly until a much later date. The way exclusives will work now, is that they will be "early access" images.
They will no longer be posted publicly until much later on, Although, I will still tease them on my socials of them cropped out or possibly censored/blurred out.
You will be able to view them weeks or even months or so before everyone else.
So all of my older content will slowly be posted publicly although, at a lower resolution and also watermarked. This allows me to maintain some form of way to attract newer users whilst adjusting to the new upload schedule and also still providing paying users an advantage to seeing content first long before any user who doesn't pay does, and they also receive it at a higher resolution without a watermark.
Content will no longer be labeled as (EXCLUSIVE)
For example: If I uploaded an image today, it won't be seen publicly until i have already posted other older content up until that image, which will take a LONG time until it reaches the public eye.
The following content will not be shared publicly and stay exclusive:
Subscriber Rewards
Hentai Lover Packs
Commissions will now be Patreon Exclusive only and not posted publicly
Full Comics (Only the cover and part of a random page will be shared publicly)
--------------------------
Thank you for all the help you guys have given me over the past few months and I am very lucky to have all of you guys supporting me. I hope you understand that I didn't find this easy to make, but I have to also be able to live my life and this helps me focus more on quality.
I wish you all the best and if you have any question feel free to message me here on Patreon.
