State of the Patreon (Patreon)

Hello again to all my supporters here on Patreon! In January, I resolved to make updating and providing benefits to my patrons a priority. Unfortunately the restrictions on adult content posted to Patreon have put a hurdle in that path. I'm of two opinions on what to do with my Patreon going forward, and that indecision stalled me from providing timely updates to you all.

On one hand, I could restrict the commissions I post to share here, leaving out the most mature pieces entirely. Essentially I'd be acquiescing to the new guidelines and while still taking adult-material commissions I wouldn't post them here. I'd be operating as I have the past few months, focusing my work hours on fulfilling commission orders but unable to share everything.

On the other hand, I could invest a bunch of time and energy into making Patreon exclusive content based on how much support I get here rather than using the service as a paywall to my uncensored gallery. I'd do more polls and fanart and develop my own characters. In this way I'd be focusing my drawings here toward developing my style and skills rather than fulfilling commissions as usual and sharing them here (as I do now).

Option one is more of a status quo, but with less value for your patronage. Option two has some exciting possibilities, but I'm unsure how much you'd all be interested in unfinished sketches and studies. Part of developing my OWN content would involve incomplete work, and in the past I haven't published much of that type of stuff.

As ever I am humbled and grateful for any support you all offer, be it emotional, financial or a combination of the two. I am still mulling this over and appreciate patience and ideas.
