Why I can't make awesome sets all the time / Should I pause Patreon 1 month? (Patreon)
Content
I got a question to ask you because some supporters left leaving in the comments that they were very disappointed in my latests sets, usually minus Yuna.
It makes me extremely sad, because I work very, very hard on my content, even the one that can look shitty to some people. I'm a self-taught artist, and most of my pictures are made by me, I can't afford to buy fully edited sets, and I don't want to scam photographers by under-paying them. For most of my sets, there's a lot of work to put the outfit together (I made at least a fully handmade cosplay each month this year, some just miss few details), organize the photoshoots, sometimes create the scenery, I do my make-up, I edit every single picture myself, etc.
For my Yuna set, I made the costume by hand (About a full week of work), I did the beach photoshoot (1 day of work), I created the lake scenery (1 day of work), I did the photoshoot (1 day of work) and spent about 9 days of work on the editing (On the beach there were a lot of boats and people to get rid of on each picture.) That means this set took me about 20 days of work, and I don't regret it, I'm very happy I made it and super proud, but there's no way I can make two sets like that + 1 selfie set + 1 cosplay photoshoot + taking care of all the rest (social medias, Etsy, physical rewards, administrative stuff + Personal needs like eating and cleaning the house)
Lately I've been working all over the nights to try to bring you great content in the future, but my photographers have busy lives so it takes a little bit of time. I'm currently coaching my little sister so that she can help me shooting sets, but of course she's still learning.
So, I have several options in mind... Please tell me what you think is best, ok? I feel so, so sorry to disappoint you :( I love working with you all on my content, I never take a break and even canceled events to make sure to bring you the best pictures I can, and I'm very hard on myself, but knowing that you may be disappointed in the content I create thanks to you really hurts.
So please tell me if:
1) You understand that some sets have to be less ambitious in order to have amazing sets every once in a while.
2) You're really disappointed in my latests sets and think it'd be better to pause my Patreon until I have better content.
3) You don't really mind my Patreon content, you're just here because you like my work in general and wand to support me.
4) You're happy with the sets as it is.
5) You're fine with a month without new content on Patreon if you can pick an older Patreon set instead. That'd allow me to work on better sets for the following months.
Don't hesitate to comment to give me your opinion. I'd just like to add that you can buy some of my sets on Etsy aswell, if you don't want to risk being disappointed by my sets here, you can still wait for them on Etsy. They're a little bit more expensive, but well... That's an other solution ;__;
Once again, I'm very sorry if I disappoint you. Please know that I try my best to create nice things with what I got.
