NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS (Pixiv Fanbox)

Hello friends! Happy 2022!

First of all, I wanted to thank you for all the kindness and support you've given me over the past year. It was a very difficult year where the economic situation in my country was very compromised. In the last semester, I practically didn't get work in my field. It was from there that this initiative to open a Fanbox and later a Patreon was born. Fortunately, with your help, I achieved amazingly fast growth which allowed me to pay my bills this holiday season. I owe it to you. My most sincere thanks.

This year, I plan to continue growing and diversifying my content. With each new animation I learn something new both technically and logistically. So, I want to implement some changes in the way I manage my pages.

About Passwords:

I will continue to encrypt files with different passwords every new month. It's the safest way I can think of to prevent my content from leaking. Every month, before sending the first post of that particular month, I will send an individual message to each supporter with the updated list of passwords. Here's the first change, and it's specific to Patreon supporters: Passwords will only be sent to supporters who have payments settled through the platform. If you are a supporter and you are marked as "declined", you will not receive the passwords until you settle your payment with the platform.

About Content:

I don't intend to change the Tiers for now, but I would like to diversify the type of content. It's quite exhausting the pressure of producing an animation series with 15-20 different takes, 7-8 animated poses, video post-production, sound editing and image series. I'm evaluating if it's better to reduce the content to simpler versions, but more frequently (a 30 second video, with 1 -2 poses and some cameras) and leave these big productions for specific events. I would like your opinion on this.

Some people have already had the opportunity to get in touch with me and they know this: I have a huge amount of semi-ready single scenes that I could feed the pages for about 3 months, weekly, at least. But I have a habit of contextualizing every scene I do with a mini-story. In many cases I end up with a set of excellent but unconnected scenes, and that makes them end up 'to the fridge' being stored until I come up with something that unites them in a plausible context. I recognize that this is a limiting, since Most content creators just focus on the action itself. In 2022 I would like to free myself from this restriction.

This year I also want to diversify the themes. I love DBZ, but there are so many amazing characters I want to work with. Not only anime, but games and cartoons as well. I have my OCs that I want to develop, and this year I want to work together with other artists I admire. Fortunately, I've already started doing this and I hope to show it here soon.

In my scenes, I like to work a little bit with the comic side, because I think it gives a balance of softness to the hardcore of the thing. But this year, I also want to unbalance that a little bit and lean more towards some less "vanilla" themes. There are limits that I have and that I still intend to keep, but flirting with some more "unconventional" fetishes is also in my plans. I hope it doesn't displease you.

A final note about the content is about what I intend to deliver. Some of you may have already noticed that I didn't attach the HS scene cards for Tier 1000 supporters. The reason for this is that, through the feedbacks I've had, even though I'm making an effort to create tutorials on MODs, indicating which ones are used, making them available my own settings, yet there is still a large number of users who were unable to open the scenes correctly. And that's the sole and exclusive fault of Illusion with its poorly coded and lazy engine. That's why I've decided to stop distributing the footage, as all I don't want is for my supporters to spend their money and end up having a frustrating experience. If anyone is supporting me solely on Cards, I apologize. If you still want the cards, contact me in private and I can send them. However, let's be clear: I will no longer support them.

And the same goes for the character cards: I still plan to distribute them in the High Tier, however, if I keep getting negative feedback about users not being able to open the characters, even following my instructions posted in the tutorials, in the future I will also stop making them available. them. I want to believe that you like the content I make and that the cards themselves don't make that much difference. That's why I distribute them: Anyone can make a cool character, or even identical to mine, with the right mods. However, creating a story, choosing a cool angle, an interesting pose and lighting that enhances the scene, are the differentials in a scene, in my opinion.

My regular job is with these things, so I know what I'm talking about ;)

About Commissions:

Yes, a lot of people come to me about commissions. I am an amateur artist in this field and my experience was nil when I opened my content on Pixiv. Added to this inexperience, the economic gravity of my country meant that I had to accept some commissioned jobs, which, from the point of view of the normal commission market, were WAY below what my work was worth. Luckily, I was able to count on the help of highly regarded artists in the HoneySelect community who have been involved in this area for a long time. They were kind enough to instruct me how and how much to charge for what my work is really worth,

I'll do a specific post about commissions soon where I'll explain in detail the values ​​and types of things I do (and don't do). However, unlike other artists, the commissions I accept will not be prioritized over the default content planned for Fanbox/Patreon/Pixiv.

Anyway, I think that's all I have to say at the moment. I'm working hard to be able to deliver content this January. It's very likely that I'll end up delivering everything at once at the end of the month. If I feel that by the end of the month, I still haven't finished the series I'm in progress, I'll release random content, prepared for cases like this. You didn't run out of content this month, trust me ;)

Once again, thank you so much for all your support and I hope to continue counting on you this year.

Best Regards
