Future plans and pre-supported models (Patreon)
Content
Hello again,
I'd like to write a few things here today, just to share my recent thoughts with you and let you guys know what I'm planning for this Patreon campaign.
First, you may have noticed that the October release will be the simplest one so far. Although my promise has always been to release two models a month, I've been consistently releasing more than that.
Two things help explain that: 1 - My job got a bit stricter in the past couple of months; 2 - I've been spending some time studying about support placement for resin printing.
One thing people have been requesting since my first month here is pre-supported models. I didn't even have a resin printer, though, so I was unable to consider this option. But now I bought one, and I want to start offering my models in pre-supported versions as well.
I'm still learning, but I want to reach at least an acceptable level in this. I'll probably release my October models with some beta supports I've been working on. I don't expect it to be good, or even usable, because I still didn't set things up here at home to start printing them, but I'd love if some of you could take a look at the files then and point me some obvious mistakes.
I wanted to make these pre-supported versions mostly to check the extra time I'd need to spend at each new project, now that I intend to offer these versions.
So, to sum things up: pre-supported versions are coming :) They won't be very good at first, but I hope to improve and save you guys some time, especially merchants. And that's why I needed to spend more time this month dedicated to this big change in my Patreon, instead of just focusing on sculpting more characters.
As I'll need more hours to finish each project, I must say it will become less common from now on to release more than two characters each month. However, I'll still try to make a third one, more to the cartoon side, whenever I can, mostly because I love them. My current earnings here allowed me to dismiss a very dear client, so that I can focus one extra hour each day to my Patreon campaign, which migth help with that.
I hope you guys appreciate and understand my current efforts. I'm excited to try new things, although a bit nervous anticipating all the backlash from my poorly supported models :P
Have a great weekend!
