Happy New Year! My very long letter of 2021 to 2022! (Patreon)

Greetings, my hold dear patrons.

Before anything, I am wishing you all a merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a happy new year.

My name is Skello, AKA Skello-on-sale. An animator who bid my style on Live2D CG manipulation. I have launched my little journey for 3 years now. Along the way, I have learned many new valuable experiences, for my content, how to communicate with my audience and life in general. As I have never received such overwhelming supports before in my career where I can directly work with my audience, You. And the fact that I can be someone in this area of media, I can support myself and even upgrade my working gear (gaming, gacha, and some sassy Halo cat ears helmet spending included. But I will pretend it's not the case lol.)

All of this is thanks to every single one of your supports.

I am thankful for everybody here. Even you are my first 5 supporters from my first month. Or just subscribe a minute ago. Remember... You are one of the big reasons Samus has a futa c*ck with balls shooting semen while Ridley coomming inside her. And this cycle is going to keep going years by years.

 Just think about that and let it sink into your soul. Yeah...~~~

But seriously, Thank you. These past 3 years are the best moment of my career life. As I traced my footstep back to my chaotic origin and looked at the uncertain future. I'd like to send a letter out to all my audience out there. Some are facts, some are my opinions, and some are my wishful thinking. But these are all I want to say before we are setting foot into 2022. A new journey (or just a normal day transition if you don't want to be so dramatic about it lol.)

My departing into the 2022 list!

I am about 60% done.

This might sound a bit... scary (It does sound scary isn't it lol.) As of now, I am working on the 59th project (Cynthia.) As I have mentioned yearly. My goal is to reach 100 projects then I will consider moving on. My other dream is about using this type of animation to make a hentai game. I am aware that I am an animator so the animation part will play a big part in it but I also want to try to make a legit system and gameplay too.

When will my project reach 100? If you are worried, fear not! At this rate of my speed for each project is the lightning-fast of 10 to 12 projects per year! That means You will easily have at least about 3-4 years to go. So rest easy and enjoy the ride for now. In the meantime, I will learn some stuff along the way and pray that we will have even easier game engines to use at that point.

Motto - No "business as usual" project.

This is my intention from the start. I launch this project with one very clear target in mind. "To learn" is my main objective. Along with the 2nd goal "It must look good." So every project I have created must have something new or different about it. The characters themselves might be just as important but my motto is always the same. Every project should have its own uniqueness and evolution. So who knows what will happen next year. Maybe... Just maybe. You will see something even more creative than this year. New fetishes, new techniques, new scenarios.

I am considered working as a dedicated animator.

This is one topic that I keep thinking of a lot lately. I am going to state one very obvious fact here. I am not the quickest nor the best drawing skill (I see my drawing skill as mediocre at best.)  One big advantage is I have total control of the source I work on (something like 300+ layers of PSD.) But it does take a lot of time and I work a lot faster as the animator.

This is pretty much still wishful thinking but with my reschedule to lower my commission. I might be able to go for collaboration next year. Still, I am not fond of bothering other artists or salvaging their arts too much in order to create an animation. So this is still staying on my wish list.

Annually subscription until the end of January.

As I experiment for the annual pledge that gives you guys a nice 15% off and gives me a big sum of one-time payments. I don't actually feel like the concept in practice. To be honest, it encourages me to be lazy (lol.) So if you want to take advantage of the discount and like me enough to bet I am not going to abandon or become a shitty person sometime next year then, you have the chance to support me yearly until 31 January.

Stay humble, Stay simple.

I am going to keep my simplicity in 2022 too. 

-Pay once have all. 

-No archive (Ever!) 

-If the projects can't be posted on Patreon they will be released for free.

- 60% - 75% content will be given as promo cut on public platforms.

I am going to stay this way to keep our relationship as casual as possible. I'd like to appreciate the pledge as a support rather than a purchase. This is to keep myself motivated and humble. Feel free to come back from time to time. Enjoy your stay if you like. I am not going to ask more from you.

***ps. This is just my own opinion on my project and not a reflection on others.

Captivate eyes.

One thing I have realized about my work is I am more of a body language rather than dialog-based animation. And this is what I will be heading on in 2022.

Imagine... the character taking a gag reflex from deep oral. 

Imagine... the character breathing rapidly when she reaches the climax.

Imagine... the character trying to adjust her position when she starts to lose balance.

These levels of body language detail are what I am going for in the future. This is what I am going to make up in terms of lacking dialogs in my works. I'd like to make use of multiple CGs in one project too. That will use up more free time from my rescheduling next year.

My personal life.

One major downside for my solo campaign is I am literally only one guy. That's one reason I am not so fond of the annual membership idea. The uncertainty of life is there and sometimes it hit like a truck. I feel really lucky I can do this for 3 years without taking a major hiatus. I will keep doing this as much as I can, but as I have mentioned in November.  I am going to take fewer commissions to have more time for myself. This will also prevent myself from burning out. I may also be looking for more helping hands or open up for teaming up in the future. Keep things fresh. You guys don't have to worry, though. The content still coming, just focusing on a more creative direction.

To the future.

If you are able to read my rambling up to this point. I have to salute your dedication to spending your valuable time for some random guy on the internet talking about how he is going to ruin your childhood (or even recently introduced) characters to the best of his ability in the most spectacular way possible. Still, I am glad this still keeps going and looking better than ever. 

One thing you may never know is the Samus X Ridley project I have made back in December 2018 is meant to be my last project.

Back then, I have a big change in my life that forced me to look for a sustainable way to make a living. I almost giving up on doing this on Patreon because the supports while really good is still far from realistically holding up in real-life scenarios. I keep thinking "is it worth it?" and "maybe it's time to give up my dream."  suddenly. Ridley's alien's schlong more than doubles my pledges and makes me stop thinking of quitting (yeah... let the world know that your man Skello got saved by Ridley's dong. Well Samus take great credit on that too, to be honest.)

After that point, I stop thinking about quitting ever again. Then time flies and we are already at 3 years later. Ready for messing up other characters in a very hentai way. And I am deeply appreciated every supporting fund to keep this page alive.

That also made me wonder something about you guys. The question is...

Do you remember which is the project made you subscribe to my Patreon page and why?

Feel free to share and comment below.

This is going on a bit too loo long so I am going to stop before I wasted 2022 on this post too lol.

As always, I hope you guys enjoy your New year countdown. Stay safe, stay warm, enjoy your life. I am going to be in your care in 2022 too.

Have a nice day.

Skello - the man whose career is saved by Ridley's dong.
