The Plan (Patreon)

Since Ive seen a lot more growth here then expected after my last FA Journal https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9866936 , I figured it would be worth revealing a road map of my plans come June 27th.

For a start the main attraction will by regular art submissions. While people have given me advice on how to prevent art theft in the form of lowing the resolution and slapping watermarks all over the place, Id rather not ruin the images I create for the people that come here legitimately.

Previously I have been rewarding my early adopters with free gifts like full line work images (more info for ones this still applies to can be found here https://www.patreon.com/posts/50190508 ). 

With this coming to an end after 9 seasons, I want to make different gifts for people who have joined since so instead I will be working on a smaller scale to make free fully coloured avatars for loyal fans. 

Being much easier, faster images, I can put these out in blocks of 9 at a time until I have something for everyone ^^
These can be anything from a simple head shot to a single paw shot (bare in mind that these will often have to fill a space only 100 x 100 pixels so bold designs will tend to work better). I will also have examples of this encase any of this is unclear.

Another thing Id like to do is make use of the poll voting system here to decide on the fate of certain characters or alts to existing pieces. Seeing what sort of things the majority of fans want to see from a pre established setting should be fun!

Future YCH offerings will be made here exclusively with much lower starting bid prices (since your already paying to be here its only fair). Everything else about how that is done will remain the same. 

WIPs will be more like bonus filler content as I only want to reveal them for the work I have already completed to avoid spoiling the surprise of a new image. They will also come with little explanations to reveal more about my work process, so if that's something that interests you then that's a super easy thing to put in on a regular basis. 

The frequency of all these things will go up or down depending on if I hit my goals.
The main one being to get to $800 per month with the promise that I will entirely remove one job from my schedule in favour of this. There's enough of a safety net there without being too unrealistic and I'm almost a 3rd of the way there as of the date of this Post!

As it stands my workload will remain the same until June 27th regardless, so dont expect huge changes until then. (Just encase any new comers arrive in this underwhelming transitional period hoping for huge amounts of new content to enjoy)! 

Another of my goals as an artist has always been put more time into a picture so that it will stay in peoples minds long after its created rather then churn things out for a piece that's forgotten in less then a day. This is why I'm taking my time in working towards this target.

If any of you have some more simple suggestions to add to this then Id be more then happy to hear them out. And any questions regarding these updates are all welcome.

Thanks again for your time.
