Patreon Q&A (Patreon)

Waddup pimps,

I get tons of requests in the surveys, but since I can't reply from that form, they never got an answer.

That's the reason for which I thought maybe something like a Q&A post would be better suited for all of 'em.

I'll take the questions from the comment section on this post and then try to answer back. They can be related to themes for the rewards as well as the way I handle tiers.
Whatever you wanted to ask, except questions like "are you gonna draw x character?" since they would get all the same answer.

I hope you find this post useful and interesting and that will answer things that never got one. I'll try to reply at most if not all of them!

Also please make sure to not repeat questions.

Ever thought about doing more collabs? The one with Kittew (D.Va x Mercy) was amazing!

Do you think you will make some tutorials in the future?

How old were you when you came up with your OCs? We're you doodling in middle school, or are they all a more recent thing?

Have you considered going back to do more lesbian pr0n works, such as your Nidalee/Ahri pieces from a ways back? Those were great!

How big is you penis? JK

How do you decide to include pr0n sets in some batches but other times you do not?

Nani Nanji

How do you stay motivated to put so much detail into your work?

When will you extend more invitations to your Discord server?

About the rewards: - why don't you more often try to draw scenes in high-angle shots with the character standing, crouching, or kneeling? In almost all of them, the character is lying down: Atago in the last package, Aqua in the 19-03 package, Jeanne d'Arc Summer in the 18-09 package, Scathach in the 18-05 package, etc. - some patrons don't seem to be aware that you decided to stop the pr0n rewards because people complained about their quality, so I have to ask: will you ever do pr0n rewards again? Would a favorable poll convince you to reintroduce them? Or a higher-priced tier? About the survey: - don't you think it would be better to ask us to rate each set instead of two overall ratings that are difficult to differentiate (i.e. if I liked the NSFW artworks then I probably liked the rewards since the NSFW artworks are part of the rewards)? - what's the point of the N/A choice in the rating questions? Isn't it the same as making the question optional?

I did, but, since the quality wasn't the same as the rest, I decided to stop. Also many people complained about the quality, so I didn't feel that great to keep going with them.

Do you ever plan on doing any tutorials, guides, or look at your workflow?

The tutorials/guides part has already been asked and the answer for the look is going to be no since he doesn't have the connection for.

will there be more pr0n in future rewards?

sciamano240

Yes I thought about it. I'd have to find an artist that's ok with it tho and that I'd like to work with. Kittew is a talented artist and I like her works. Also our styles are a bit similar, but I can't say the same for many others. Collabs require time and to leave some things pass through. It's hard to critique someone you're working with because you don't like how he/she draws something in particular. I may think about it in the future if there is an occasion. Right now I should probably focus on catching up.

When I get a good internet, I may try twitch. If it works out, I may do something there. Not tutorials, but maybe some tips while working on a picture. I thought tho about making a GIMP tutorial, so that you can edit my rewards and change pieces of clothing or expressions by yourself. I think that would be cool. I'll consider it.

They are very recent. Chloe was the first one and she was created last year. Chloe and Valerie come from me playing with a game where you could create characters and customize them. Actually Bianca was the really first one and I made her just to have a Patreon mascotte. Didn't put too much thought into them, but I'm planning to do so. Maybe give them a proper background.

pr0n were an experiment and, since people complained they weren't good enough quality wise, I decided to stop with them. I think it's better for everyone this way. Maybe they'll return, maybe not.

I like to put details in my works, even if sometimes it takes so much time that I end up rushing something else. I don't think it's a good thing, since it makes me slow and waste time on stuff that many wouldn't even notice. Motivation just comes and go. I learned that sometimes drawing what you like just for a day or two, can really make the difference and make me enjoy art more.

1° Poses are the most annoying part for me and I don't find high angle shots particularly appealing. Then I have to consider the possible nsfw version when i make one and make sure to draw vegana and bobs. I don't particularly like lewd poses and action poses are weird when you do the nsfw. Idle is the easiest way to go for me. 2° I won't do a poll to reintroduce them, since they're time consuming. If I'm in the mood, I may do something as an extra in the future, but I can't promise anything. For sure there will be some for the 1000 patrons milestone. 3° If that was true, the votes would be really similar, but they are always different. Also if you dont know a character, that would be a reason to dislike the rewards, but like the NSFW variants (if they are good). In fact the first question has always less high votes. At least that's how I see it. 4° Since the new Adept Tier doesn't have NSFW rewards, I had to.

Nani Nanji

What piece was the most difficult?

sciamano240
>>28279155

Off the top of my head, I'd say Tyrande. There are some other artworks I had hard time with tho, like the Firekeeper and Ashe from Overwatch. Tons of details, a lot of time spent making them look good and not messy.

If we happen to miss buying one of your months packages, about how long does it take you to make it available on Gumroad or any other similar site?

sciamano240
>>28279603

Lately I've been uploading the pack to Gumroad 1 or 2 days after sending it to patrons. So yes, 1 or 2 days.

This Q&A is a fun way to be in near-direct contact with your customers. Do you have any plans to do this kind of "almost instant-chat" session in the near or distant future? Also sorry if my questions are a repeat of anyone else's, but 30+ posts, and counting, can be a progressively-lot to look through.

With how much your skill in these arts improves over the years, do you ever think of going back and remastering any of your older works for your customers that are nostalgic for your past arts to be updated with skills you have now that you may not have had back then?

Which is the character, either male or female, you would like to draw most? I mean, your personal favorite char.

I am just here to say that the pr0n rewards were really good. Will really miss them. I would like to see more art on that "sketchy" way even if it not with sexy scenes. Ever thought of having commisions on that style? I am guessing they won´t be so much time consuming and quite sure a lot of people will be interested.

sciamano240

Instant chat? Something like Discord? I don't know which are the options to do something like that, but maybe Twitch can be considered one?

sciamano240
>>28280292

I thought about it, in fact it's even hard for me to look at some of my older artworks. For some of the artworks that I posted on Pixiv, I even did small edits to make them look better. Doing it in high fashion? I don't know, maybe when and if I get better!

sciamano240
>>28287165

I did thought about it. I kinda wanna improve them a bit more and maybe next year I'll make a Patron tier for commissions with that sketchy style. It won't be pr0n tho. I can't say pr0n will come back, but if I'm in mood, I may do something like that in the future.

For those of us that have only discovered you lately, can you tell us just briefly when you stopped doing pr0n work and why?

It has already been mentioned several times in that post why he stopped doing them. Read the comments above (my second question for instance). And he stopped them after the 19-05 package.
