weekly talk 201 (Patreon)

Hoy, we re back!

workflow:
First, elephant in the room, i'm late.. but i took a decision too.
Before the two rewards, i calaculated them like this, the non colored, could do 2 to 3  a day, and the colored would take me a day tops. Ideas was it's not a comm and i must EAT on the side XD
So yeah, you'll tell me, i up the price to 65, it's a lot... but still, if i work 3 days, mean i get 20€/day of work.. XD
Better then to just erase the role.
So, i took the decision, now, i'll get back to what i said first and go simpler. Mean less render, certainly working a bit more on the cell shaded as i wanted to do it for month.
What pushed me into this idea is actually Cyberpunk anime on netflix. Once i put stop, and the image, with the blue tone, rimlight on the char, the whole was GORGEOUS, and tbh on drawing sould be quite easy to do. So.. i told myself "ok, let's try that"
So if i do that, i should also be able to eat back all the late i got.
So this week, finish the august rewards! FINALLY XD

A funeral:

So i went to it, don't want to bug you all with it, it's m experience, but.. i'm a sensible person. I cry when i'm sad, i laugh when i'm happy, i don't like to cut the experience on my emotions.
It was hard. He wasn't even old enough to retire, and it came out of nowhere. Last time he talked to my brother, 2 days ago, he told him that it was ok he would miss his 60yo.. as long as he promessed to be there for the 70's!
As long as i was with family it was ok. As i traveled back home, my sister stopped before me, then my brother.. And i remained alone on the train.
There i crumbled a second time. Cried, trying to hid myself from the other peoples, and had terrible tough and feeling.
I'll seek some help, i know i need to talk to a professional. But on the same time, it's logical that once i was alone it came back. Was kinda healthy that I was able to let it go tough. But i'll still monitor closely my mental health tbh XD
Thanks a lot for your patience in last 10 days.
I'll try to get to a steady rythm, but i know i'll still feel a bit bum for a few more. But at least i'm here!

Tweeter, patreon and the world:

Lot's of change around the net. Twitter 's future seems... opaque.
And it's one of the platform we're the most active, most nsfw artist.
With friends we were talking about the future, what, were? Like hunters, we follow the herds, where the fans would go, we would follow, question is where ll the go ?
Mastodon? i don't believe it, i try to used it, and damn, it's twitter but with an even worse management.
Pixiv? Issue is, first the censorship, and second, the fans. Like old hunters, we artist follow the fandoms. Twitter is quite user friendly and easy to take on. Pixiv is far from being as easy.
Itaku is too complex on the way it work, a site made by the artist, for the artist, and sadly not for their fans.
Fur affinity? Let's say the non furry artist never been always welcomed on the place, i received messages from furries telling me to go post my non furry things elsewhere in the past X) But less polite
pillowforth don't have the server strong enough to hold that massive switch i fear.
Someone proposed Discord, if they finda way to create some massive cattegories, or just message of friends all along the places, could work.
All to say, might be the dawn of a future new artist migration.
not sure, ll see, but might be interesting. All to say, i'm quite happy i bet on patreon. At least if i loose my most crowded platform, i'm still with a community X)

That's about it

thanks for readin, and c ya soon!
