Hey everyone,




I have thought a lot about what Patreon means to me and what the best way to use the site for.



First of all, I have to show my gratitude for the success because of everyone's love for my art and your continuous support. I've learned so much in craft and full filled my curiosities of trying something new. But the journey is never interesting without some obstacles on the way.



Last year, I took a risk to do something crazy which was introducing NSFW contents. I always wanted to do something like it for the longest time but never did it because of reasons. Many artists I admire already embraced the form of art. Masamune Shirow, Katsuya Terada, Kim Jung Gi, etc... So I took a dive. I had a lot of fun doing it, and paid off financially as well. I was pretty happy, but it sort of fell apart quick.



To simply put, I won't be doing NSFW and NSFW+ content anymore.


I know many people came here for it and probably would be super disappointed.


I expect a significant dip in the numbers or even the demise of my campaign. But I gotta follow my heart. I basically want to make art that can make me happy and make others be inspired by them.



What's going to happen?


  • I'll be tweaking the reward Tiers
  • 1+, $3+, and $7+ Tier rewards will be changing.
  • I'll make a Part 2 Post, listing in depth what's going to change.
  • April content will still have NSFW and NSFW+ rewards but Starting May, no more.


Basically, I want to rebuild my Patreon Campaign to be something bigger than just risque controversial art. I want to create my own IP like Deathverse and Mekanizer. Involve everyone in creating these awesome badass, and sexy characters with rich story and character development. Also figuring out the best way to do the mentorship program and making tutorial videos.





Thanks for understanding.


Please stay tuned for the next part with update.

Do whatever works for you man^^ your original content is still my favorite anyways.

It's for the best. Honestly, there was a period of time where I decided to not follow your works on DeviantART due to the influx and less-than-subtle pandering to the NSFW fanbase, however I came back because your works still inspire me. I believe you'll still have great success through this avenue and look forward to your works!

I said it before, I started supporting you without knowing you even did NSFW stuff! I'll be sure to stick around

To be honest I think it is a good decision. When I started to be a patron on your art it was because you created the the skins for League of Legends I love the most in the game! (Captain Fortune, Arcade Riven, Starguardian Lux to just name some of them) I loved your ideas and the designs you created. I also fell for your Mecanizer designs instandly! But talking about the NSFW contend I have ti say, I liked it a lot but in the last months I got bored about it. It looked like you just made the NSFW art just because you had to. The anatomy (especially the breast and the butts) looked more and more over the top. It wasn't that sexy anymore it was just sexualized. Or better that's what it felt like for me. I think it's right for you to concentrate again on the style and contend of art you really enjoy. You are one if the greatest artists I know and I'm looking forward to see more beautiful character designs made by you which are sometimes sexy but in a way that fits and sometimes just beautiful or badass or just cool and unique in its own way. So show us what you can do! :) Keep up beeing the awesome artis I started following many months ago!

always here to support you, no matter what you make! :) i love *love* Deathverse and Mekanizer, so i am really excited to see more IP stuff from you! <3

Zeronis

Thanks! Yea that's exactly how I felt. I did t really want to draw them but I had to. I have no room to draw anything else every month. Thanks for understanding

Zeronis

Thanks Katia! You've always been so supportive and so kind! Really appreciate it and you can count on me! :)

Zeronis

I'll let you know as soon as I figure out the best system! Thx!

Kenneth Winkelman

You have my vote of confidence and I look forward to seeing what changes come down the line. :)

Do as you must! I'll be here to support you as long as I am able to. I made a Patreon account to begin with to support you, but because of your art over all. I didn't even know you offered NSFW content. Although it was nice addition, doesn't change the fact of how awesome you are. :)

Anonymous

To be honest maybe i'm one of the few people that feel surprise when you take the NSFW path. I just feel your NFSW work apart from the face is not ZERONIS enough or just not you. Just my personal opinion.

Anonymous

Just do what makes you happy ^^. Will keep supporting! Wow, what a coincidence. I just yesterday saw some of Masamune Shirow's pin up work, and was wondering who the artist was. And now you mention him and I found out xD. Had no idea that he did NSFW too. His pin up work is great, and tbh. Your pin up art is the reason I started following you. Not your NSFW. The Mekanizer and Deathverse in particular.

I think it is very commendable that you are choosing to do what you want and feel is true to who you are as an artist. Thank you for being a great role model and inspiration! You do you :D

Antsstyle

Well done to you for taking that decision - it's got to be hard to decide not to do NSFW work anymore, but it's always better to do what you feel happier doing. In one sense, I'm actually sort of happy you decided to stop doing NSFW work - oftentimes it had a distinctly forced feel to it, as though you drew a piece and then had to make an NSFW version just because you had to get it done. One thing I might suggest - now that NSFW content is gone, you will have more time to spend on your other content, and that brings me to something I feel has been around for some time. I really think it would be better to cut down the number of pieces you do in a given month - sometimes I look at pieces you do and feel they look unfinished, as though you didn't have time or will to complete them, and they look more like sketches or such than finished pieces (which is fine in itself, sketches and experimental pieces are part of the process). On the other hand, pieces like Remi-7 Reviz and Bioshock Elizabeth remind me of your League concept art and your more polished works - and those are largely what I, at least, am here to see. I'd rather see 1-3 finished pieces in a month, that you have time to focus on and do your best with, than a bigger number that have less time dedicated to them. Or even no pieces in a month if you aren't feeling that they need more time to be done right. Anyway, that's my thoughts on where to go from here - we'll be here to support you, well done for making that decision :)

SteelRaven

You have some balls to make such decision even if it means less $$$ every month. Respect for that.

CJoe

I support your decision.

Zuza

I wanna piggyback on this. Quality always over quantity!

Alan

man I'm going to miss the NSFW content lol, But good on ya mate for making this tough decision. It must of been hard but you did what you thought was right and I got nothing but respect for that.

I'm very sorry to be the part of the group who will not support you anymore. Do not take offense in this but why create sexy characters when and there's no naughty NSFW side of it. It's just a tease. It's the exclusivity of NSFW and NSFW+ content that makes me want to pay you as you limit viewing rights to patrons only. In my humble and honest opinion, if I can still view your art as you post them for free there is no point of paying for it as there's no significant reward/perks to it. It's really a shame and it hurts that it has to come to this end after being a very loyal patron for over 2 years. However, your new approach in creating content no longer makes me feel like an exclusive supporter, I can't see value in it. Not many artist out there who can create NSFW content exceptionally well as you do. I wish you all the best Paul. If you ever reconsider getting back into NSFW art, you can expect me to be a supporter again.

Kubus-Sc7

Well even Sakimichan does NSFW. But I cna understand if you want to follow your heart. Go for it! I will miss it, but still want to support your nice art!

Anonymous

Good on you to follow what you enjoy doing. I personally never was too interested in your NSFW content (just doesn't appeal to me), but I did love your art style and other sketches and that what I enjoyed supporting, so I will be looking forward to see what changes you will be bringing to your Patreon.

Anonymous

I start supporting people for your work, you are My firts patreon actually and I learn a lot from your PSD and Videos You make very sexy girls, and I really love your style, and I want support You Until I cant. You aré a great inspiration to me Keep Going ! :D

G

I'm sad to see the NSFW going away. I would have liked if you had found a way that you could just make them when you felt like doing them, rather than having to make a choice of having them regularly or not at all.

Anonymous

I'm fine with it. I signed up for your awesome art style, not the nsfw. As long as we see some more Remi 7 :)

Anonymous

I always appreciated seeing your personal work more than your nsfw stuff so I'm glad you've gone with this decision. Follow your heart man!

Frank Leo

So, it is "this month" or "next month" that NSFW will stop?

Anonymous

I think you should keep the concept art nsfw versions . Personally i've been following you since forever and I don't care much for your nsfw + but your nsfw variants like remi-7s concept art nude is just a little something that is nice to look at . I don't mind to see this go bit the concept art nudes are something fun here and there

Ian Crowell

The point of patreon isnt to pay someone for art or exclusive content . Its meant to show appreciation of artist you like through small donations. If you just said you didnt want to donate because he isnt doing nsfw anymore thats fine but then turn around and say you wouldnt donate because you can see his art for free youre just promoting the idea of a paywall.

Amira

B-b-but boobies. Dx In all seriousness, do what you have to do. Looking out for number one should always be your top priority. And if not making NSFW art is part of that, then I encourage it. I do appreciate the heads up, though. It's a lot better than suddenly disappearing or something like that. And kudos to you for having the stones to make this decision. I don't think I could have done the same in your place. I'll admit that I was drawn to supporting you by your Kaine picture, because WOW. But I'll support you nonetheless until it's no longer financially feasible for me to do so. Good luck in your future endeavors, mate.

Great, now that there will be no more NSFW, I will consider pledging again, I had stopped my sakimichan pledge also because of it.

Anonymous

Looking forward to the mentorship~

Anonymous

Nice choice, man. Just do whatever makes you happy!

Anonymous

The choice is all yours friend, sure I love the sexiness but overall I supported you for the art not the nudes. Let's see how it looks for the June batch and I'll make my decision then ^-^

Anonymous

Just a question though. Will it be cut off completely or will there still be some random batches where you add one in like the bonus content or something?

NeroBeasts

I haven't begun to support you yet, but despite not continuing NSFW, I still enjoy your art and plan to support you when my income becomes more stable. However, you still offer the older packs through gumroad, right?

Mari

Do what you feel is best, we know your a great artist even if you discontinue the NSFW. So I doubt people will drop out on you, I for one will stick with you all and I'm sure not the only one.

Habilon

I will admit I will miss the nsfw.... do you still intend to have the nude versions of pieces? with or without the nudity or nsfw your work is great and I will still patreon you

Anonymous

This months batch is last one with NSFW I think ( the one that will release this week ). Look at the pledge rewards, it has changed.

Frank Leo

When will the "April rewards" be sent?

Puresol

Whatever may happen or not, I still love your artwork and taking out the strickly NSFW/+ stuff is fine by me. I personally find your 'sexy' characters and original line of Deathverse and and Mekanizer to be awesome and would love to see more of it.

Anonymous

good luck :)

Anonymous

Will be a shame to see the NSFW stuff go, but I'm a supporter nonetheless! To be perfectly honest it was the Mekanizer girls that hooked me at first sight, so the possibility of seeing more of it has me looking forward to the future!

Plily

I'm sadly going to be one of those that will stop supporting you. But honestly you will still have tons of others. I was drawn to your nsfw work that's why I chose the highest tier. Now I don't see a reason. If you say it isn't your passion then there's nothing we can do.

WSAD

I will be downgrading to a lower reward tier. The ability to vote in a poll and the psd files is not enough to warrant 14$ a month from me, as I don't have a need for either. The incentive to contribute as much as I have been for these past several months is now gone. Sorry, Zeronis.

Anonymous

Should probably add time lapse to 5 or 7 reward.

Zeronis

Thank you! Really appreciate it! I may do NSFW from time to time when I feel like it. it just won't be exclusive to Patreon.

Zeronis

Thanks! I may do NSFW from time to time, but not often. If I do it, it won't be Patreon exclusive.
