ANNOUNCEMENT - Fundamental Restructuring of my Patreon (Plans for 2022 and Beyond) (Patreon)

Hello!

First off, I'd like to thank you for helping make 2021 a pretty fantastic year for my personal art. I always wanted an excuse to just up and draw lingerie wedding dresses, girly magazine covers, all my favourite fighting game girls... and topless moms just hanging around town! 

And thanks to you, your time and support, I've been able to do that.

At the start of 2020 I set out with the clear goal to work on Pin Up Series. And for the past year, that’s what I’ve done. I'm proud of the work I've done with your help. Now I want to set out to tackle a new challenge and a bigger goal.

So, What's Up?

As you might have seen, I Recently Announced my newest artistic undertaking. A limited Animation/Animatic Series based on This Romantic World by Reinbach 

This Patreon Will Still Be Primarily An Art and Pin-Ups Page! Suburban Topless Moms as an illustration series will continue, but I'm taking more time off of other projects to work on this series.

This is a project and art form I’ve wanted to try for a long time. and I’ve just been putting it off in one way or another for a long time. But the Gartic Phone Animation Sessions I've had with my friends recently have been the real Kick In The Pants to go forward with this

I love telling stories - Pin-Ups are a good way of combining stories with sexy art! And I've wanted to work on narrative projects forever. I've tried comics on and off, but storyboards feels like exactly the right thing to do!

How Will The Patreon Change?

Some things will still be the same! Updates will still be every Wednesday and Friday, there will still be 1 Poll a Month, and at least 1 Pin-Up a Month.

So that's how it's not changing. What IS new is...

I'll be aiming on working on 1 Scene Per Month. That sounds fun, right? Not only that, about once a week, I'll be collecting all the shots I've done from that scene up to that point and share it into a Production Update Post.

Tiers

These are also going through a change or two...

the Follower tier stays the same.

Voyeur tier has access to NSFW Illustrations and Sketches - and will also access NSFW Scenes when those are released.

Insider tier and above start getting more perks! I feel like I've neglected these a bit, but I think I found the right thing for 'em. You get All Of The Above and Access to the Shots Folder, for Real Time Updates. And Special Thanks at the end of every Chapter of This Romantic World.

Playboy tier: The Sketch Commission Perk will be discontinued by the end of the year. All sketch requests up until then will be honoured, but no more will be added to the queue starting January 2022.

The tier itself will remain, and all Playboy-tier patrons will be credited as Producers at the end of every Chapter of This Romantic World. In addition to All Of The Above Perks from the other tiers.

These perks feel like they're the appropriate reward for your contributions. I'm excited to be able to give you something appropriate for the support you give me.

Goals

I'll update the Goals on the page soon! For now here's my thinking:

500 Patrons - Quit My Job(s): Full Time Patreon Work! For so long, I've wanted to cut down on hired jobs and assistant gigs, and do my illustrations and commissions full time. Once we reach 500, I figure I'll be at that point!

700 Patrons - Colour Goal: The storyboards are black and white for now. But at 700 patrons, I can either work on colour myself, or hire someone to help me out with it!

900 Patrons - Music Goal: I can't compose, so for this, I'll absolutely hire someone to help add music to the series!

Later on, I think we can also add goals for Voice Acting, and make it a full on production! That's still a ways away, though. So it's best to focus on the medium term.

In Conclusion...

I'm very excited to start this new phase in my career, and share it with you! It's been my dream to create stories, and it feels like it's finally coming together! Again, with your help.

I'd like to thank Reinbach for allowing me to take the first step with TRW! If you don't already read and follow his work, you should! It should be a good primer on what to expect.

And I wanted to thank you again for continually allowing me to do the art I want to do - not just the kind I have to for a check.

It means the world to me.

Anyway, please look forward to this! I'll be starting with these plans in the following days! So let me know what you think, or what your expectations are, or if you have any feedback at all!

Thank you!

And tell your friends~
