Tier and Benefit Changes!
Oops, this part ended up being really long so its gonna be its own accompanying post I'll make public. I think I want to start transitioning towards a more support oriented model here. I still want to provide benefits, but I gotta scope down in areas to save myself effort given the current money I'm making from Patreon. I also probably redesign tier logos and names to better suit the benefits.
Upcoming Projects!
Got a few things in the works right now that I've already teased a little on twitter. There's the Alex + dommy mommies that'll probably end up as a 30k celebration piece XD, I've got most of the slots more or less figured out at this point so you should be seeing a bit more of that in the near future.
The Calico thigh job animation is coming along pretty well, though I was expecting to have it done a lot sooner, some life stuff got in the way. I'm so excited though, its looking really clean.
So uhhh, new Pokémon girl just dropped and everyone is going a little crazy over her. Perrin is a cutie, I might have to do something with her. I've certainly got a fun idea bonkin' around in my head.
There's a bigger project brewing in the background that's gonna be a much larger undertaking. I've already sorted some stuff out with VAs and gotten a script going so you'll probably start seeing updates for that in the near future.
Commission Stuff!
Been working hard on a couple animation commissions in the background. I should be posting those over here when I've got them more put together. and I need to post some of the other commissions I've done recently too!
As you may have noticed, I started letting people "sponsor" the Monday doodles. Its nice having some extra direction and getting paid for time I've already allocated for the week and it sounds like people really like them too! Now I just need people to pay me to draw my own OCs >:D If you're interested in sponsoring a doodle page, you can hit me up here or on discord. They usually end up being anywhere from $40-80 for a full page of stuff, but that also depends on number of shots and character complexity too!
Art Stuff!
I have once again been learning and improving with my animations. I started animating a little ball in the margin to help lay out the timing and spacing early and my goodness does it make a difference in productivity for the sketch XD It really helps ground the motion and helps me identify good spots for keyframes and breakdowns!
I want to start actually streaming stuff! I've been streaming pretty frequently in the discord but I want to start streaming on public platforms too. It would certainly help to monetize more parts of my process, especially as I start tackling larger projects. I'm just dumb and want to make all the assets myself, when I could just purchase some
I want to make an actual logo! I have some rough plans laid out for a design I like, just need to find the time to actually sort out the details and get it drawn up.
Life Stuff!
Been feeling real motivated recently! I reduced some of my weekly obligations that have been eating a lot of my time and its been kind of freeing too. Lost a bit of time this week in furniture assembly and reformatting my room, but I've got a lot more space now and I have a dedicated spot for some of the other hobbies I want to get back into like sculpting, sewing and painting miniatures, I just gotta find time XD
