Happy 2022, Plans & Poll (Patreon)

I hope the holidays went well for everybody o^o/

As a bit of annual housekeeping I'm looking to update a few things online and bring up what's in store for this year. 

- I've updated tier information (and graphics) to reflect the kind of stuff that I've been posting for the past year or so. I've refrained from adding a $10 tier for now because I'm uncertain as to what else I can offer to make it worth it 8[  

- Personal works continue, this year with more emphasis on comics and animation. Current priority for this is finishing Jen's comic.

- So far I think auctions have been going well with the usual format of colored sketches—probably with a selected theme in mind for points followed by several slots for points&cash. In response to demand for vore stuff, for Doc Robot slots I'll drop OC crossover and replace it with a 2nd Vore slot. Since colored sketches are all 1-2 character pieces, anyone could ask for OC Crossover regardless of what's auctioned. I'll be keeping auction rules making the use of points mandatory, as they are meant to be spent, but for the sake of warding off FOMO, all points-exclusive auctions will always be for colored sketches.

- Just putting this out there... a lot of the points&cash auctions that have taken place have gone way above what I thought they would. As a result I've been secretly discounting the amount due for most winning bids after bidding concludes. Since it becomes less of a secret the more that I do this, I've come up with a more official solution. For points&cash rounds of auctions, a patron's "Points Accrued" count will also be considered for an additional discount to the final amount due in small amounts, likely between 0.10 - $0.30 each, depending on amount and complexity.

- There are 3 things I would like to try offering this year via auctions, each of which being larger than the usual auctioned piece and aren't meant to be done in a day or two. To avoid being overwhelmed, there will only ever be one of any of these in queue at any given time. I've set up a poll to determine determine levels of [want] and will prioritize based on the results:

• Character Sheet/Sequence. Contains a variety of images of your choice featuring your character. Can easily double as a ref sheet with technical details included or as a series of images
• A few seconds of rough animation. While making something colored and finished is rather difficult and extremely time consuming, these are a lot easier to do. Aiming for something along the lines of this and this, with the possibility of upgrades to the winner (i.e., either higher FPS or length) depending on auction price.
• VRChat Avatar. I've learned enough about 3D to know that I still don't know a lot about 3D, but modelling is nevertheless something I do on days when my drawing arm needs to recover and I'd still like to improve on it. Winner will receive an exclusive personalized avatar of whatever they'd like, so long as it fits the 'humanoid' skeleton. Will come with a set of custom emotes. 

That's all I've got for now, as always I appreciate any input (or questions) regarding any and all of the above o^o/ Thanks again for another great year.
