Patreon Restart! (Patreon)

Hey guys, how's it going? I have quite a bit to talk about so let's get right to it!

Changes to Rewards

First things first, I will not remove any of the current rewards because I will still mainly deliver 2D illustrations. However, I will add to the rewards as I get better with 3D and when I have a more concrete plan of action for gamedev (more on these at the bottom)

Before anything else, I want to clear something up. I said that I no longer want to draw porn and that's still true. But! I still want to draw Nudes, Suggestive Poses, and Sexy Pinups. To be very clear, here are a couple examples of what I consider Suggestive Poses and Sexy Pinups (nudes are, you guessed it, nudes :P)

What I won't draw is explicit sex, smut, penis in vagina, covered in cum kind of stuff. So if that's the content you're expecting, there will be none of that for now unfortunately. It's just sexy girls being sexy this time around.

So the polls are still a thing. I will also try to draw a nude variation for all rewards (the winners of the polls)

I know I know. Some of you are already raising your eyebrows and thinking I'm backtracking. I guess I am, a little :P But I just really wanted to get porn out of my system. I honestly still don't feel like drawing porn (again, smut/penis in vagina type of stuff) because I still feel it's difficult for me to draw those. But I certainly welcome nudes and sexy stuff, and I'm ready to get busy with those ^_^b

Speaking of getting busy...

3D Art

So let's talk about how exactly 3D art figures into my Patreon. In the very short term, not a lot, because as you can probably tell I'm still an amateur. For now I'll probably post exclusive WIPs of what I'm working on. However, my long-term goal is to be able to do 3D animations and make 3D models designed for (my own) games, and as I get closer to that goal, I'll incorporate 3D rewards as well!

But right now, I'm at the point where I'm only really starting to become comfortable with the whole 3D process. In case you haven't seen it, I posted this on Twitter! 

My darling Wiz, which I worked on for an entire week. Granted that's still a long time and it's not finished, but that's half the time of my 1st model, and now my general topology is better, I learned new techniques, the process is a lot smoother, and I understand rigging better (she can actually do a decent contrapposto, which I struggled with my Iris Heart model) Basically, there's improvement across the board. I mean it's not award-winning quality, but I'm actually getting better and I'm just so excited for 3D Art right now.

Anyway, I'm pausing my Wiz model to work on a general base model so I'm going back to modeling Iris Heart. The reason I'm doing her is she's my benchmark for "Mommy GF" body type that I don't mind making a nude model of (Wiz is no go) Here's an early WIP, not much to see for now but it's a start.

Whew, I got excited about 3D but yeah, it's something I've taken real interest in so I hope you're looking forward to more of it!

And lastly...

Game Dev

I have to admit, I don't actually have a concrete plan for a game project at the moment. I dream of making my own Tactics Game but honestly, that's a massive project and I really don't think I should spread myself too thin right now.

However, I do want to at least start scratching the surface, so for this month I'm gonna try to import my own model and making it move (even with no animation) on a simple terrain. That's my only goal for now, very simple and straightforward so I don't overwhelm myself.

I'll only put up gamedev-related rewards once I have a solid plan but I'll post progress here whenever I can!

------

Man that's a long post. To sum up:

1. Fanart Polls are still a thing (I'll open the suggestions on another post later, note that suggestions are open for $5 and $10 patrons!)

2. No more Explicit Sex, Penis in Vagina/any orifice, Smut type of rewards. Only Sexy, Nudes, Suggestive Poses and Pinups now.

3. 3D art galore going forward.

4. Focus is mainly on 3D art and 2D illustrations but slowly ease into gamedev.

Alright. I think that's all I wanted to say! Thanks to pausing my Patreon, I got a much needed rest and now I've recharged my batteries and ready to do art again. Hope you guys are doing great as well!
