Decisions on the lewdness! (Patreon)

Thank you to everyone who gave their feedback on the last poll, concerning the lewdness of my latest Patreon set! It was very helpful and reassuring!

So, it seems that many of you are pretty happy with the way I do things, and would even be cool with me pushing the limits of lewd a bit further, if I chose to.  In fact, a lot of you encouraged me to do so, actually, with the caveat to only do it if I was comfortable with the idea. I appreciate that sentiment very much! 

That being said, there were still a notable amount of patrons who wanted me to keep it "classy"  in terms of content on this Patreon, and I can respect that. 

 As an artist, I appreciate all sorts of works, SFW or NSFW. There are times I would love to express my art in a NSFW drawing, but I haven't for a long while, because of the following reasons:
1. I don't want to be forced to do it on a schedule.
2. I don't want it to outshine the rest of my work.
3. I don't want to push away the people who don't appreciate NSFW stuff. 

But since I would still like to express that sort of artwork some of the time, I think I have a solution... A small step, if you will. 

Instead of changing the sexy/cute SFW theme of my Patreon, and adding a new NSFW tier, which would force me to draw NSFW content every month (whether I want to or not), I think what I would like to do is create an art pack of NSFW content that is sold outside of Patreon, like at Gumroad, for example. This would allow me to create content at my own pace, and release packs when I am ready. 

My goal would be to create high quality original works of erotica, and collect them into small volumes of themed content. Perhaps a sexy wild west shootout, or a lewd fantasy dungeon raid... Or any other setting that I think would make a cool, yet sexy scenario. I might start out simple at first, to see how I feel about it, and get more elaborate as I go. You could think of these as being smaller digital art collection books/issues. I would aim for somewhere around 5-10 images per pack, though I am not set on anything, right now. 

The nice thing for me is that I can work on it at my own pace. I don't have to worry about a monthly or weekly schedule, so I can strike while the inspiration is hot. 

As for price, I haven't decided yet. Some of you have asked that I give discounts to Patrons who support me. I like that idea. I'll see what I can do about that. 

Others have asked that I keep it cheap, to not stretch thier budget too much. However, I feel that if I work hard to produce a lot of high quality content for people to enjoy, I should be compensated for that time spent. As one would expect, quality is a factor, as well. I wouldn't be putting out nude versions of existing images... I would be creating entirely original illustrations that are designed with "lewd" in mind. My hope is that the quality of the work will speak for itself. we shall see! But regardless, for those of you with a tight budget, I apologize if my productivity makes it hard to keep up. I will do my best to remain reasonable and fair, all things considered. 

Anyways, That's my thoughts on it, for now! I still have a lot of planning and decision-making to do. When I make up my mind on the details, I will be sure to let you all know! I decided to share this message to Patreon only, because I feel that you are the ones that care the most about my work, and it's future. 

Thanks for all the support, and I will see you next post!
