2021 (Patreon)

I wanted to do a big write-up for 2021 and what my plans are for this year but I was so busy with working on content and enjoying myself during the Holidays that by now we're already 6 days into 2021 and I haven't said anything.

So, officially, Happy belated New Years to all of you!
On to business. And I want to ask you to respond to these with how you feel about these changes and plans for this year.

Tier Changes

EXCLUSIVES
I want to switch some things up regarding Exclusives and Tier 3 in general.
I think €7,- is too much for, sometimes just 3-5 extra images. And often times when I'm deciding on exclusives, I choose the inferior images. The ones I'd rather not show publicly.

I think that's a bad practice and a shitty reward for people who support me financially more than others. So instead, I'd like to make Exclusives a Tier 2 reward. That way, Patrons are still getting Exclusive content, there's still a  hierarchy in regards to people who don't support me, and the price is a bit more fair for what's in return.

TIER 3
Great, now Tier 3 has one less reward. How nice of me to do that to them. Well, I want to ask you what you want in return. I'll make a post for Tier 3 lads separately asking them, but if any of you want to chime in, you can do that as well.

I was thinking of doing more votes, but those simply really delay my production by days, so I'm not a big fan of that. There's a lot more technical limitations right now and I have to spend my time wisely; I can't simply offer alternative angles or versions because my renders for one image already take at least 8 hours. (The Daria Cyberpunk one took me two days to render, there was a lot of lighting and rain and smoke elements that just take longer to do.)

So what can we add for Tier 3? They only have the additional voting power, which I like, but votes delay my process a lot, so I don't do a lot of those.

I think a good idea is to maybe have exclusive votes and powers such as "Tier 3 Exclusive Characters" or "Tier 3 Exclusive Themes or Fetishes". And strip those away from lower tiers. Making Tier 3 a very influential tier that changes and impacts the content I make. And making Tier 2 and lower simply tiers that get additional content.
Please let me know if you have rewards in mind for Tier 3.

Monthly Suggestion Boxes
Next week I'm posting the first Monthly Suggestion Box, a new reward for all tiers where people can simply post ANYTHING they want. We can have a discussion about them and see if it's something I'm interested in making. I'd love to make this as collaborative as possible.

2021 Plans
At the end of last year, I was planning on starting commissions and officially registering as a business. I still am planning on registering, but I'm uncertain about the commissions. With the changes to rewards AND the commissions, I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver as much as I'd like or as much as you're used to and you deserve.

So I'm postponing commissions and try to focus the coming weeks on balancing the rewards properly and seeing if there's time left for commissions. To be frank, the last two months I've seen amazing growth. I've gained almost 2K followers on Twitter in two months and general engagement seems to have doubled too. So I don't know if I even need to do commissions to make this into an actual living.

Long story short; commissions are postponed, I'm gonna keep being consistent in my uploads, both quality and quantity-wise for the time being.

POST SCRIPT
I just really want to thank you. Sincerely. The support and growth over the last two months have been really great and they're a big factor in my recovering mental health. We've all been through the shitter last year and I can only speak for myself, but you've really helped at least one person get out of a dark spiral last year. 

I don't get too personal, because I just make porn and it's icky and weird to open up for me, still and I know this message goes out to at least 100 people now (YES, THERE'S 100 OF YOU NOW, I HAD 40 OR SOMETHING HALF A YEAR AGO) but every single one of you has helped me out a lot. And I hope to give something back in return whilst doing something that gets me through the day.

Before I go, I really need your help with those rewards, because I just can't think of any good ones and I don't really know what you want or think you deserve. So please let me know in a comment or private message if you're ashamed of your request or what ever. No judgement from me.

Here's to 2021 ♥
