December rewards and 2024 changes (Patreon)

Hi all! Happy new year!

I wanted to talk to you about upcoming changes for 2024. But first, I need to apologize for not having December rewards in time. I’ve been working hard on what was going to be an especial Christmas surprise, but a complication on my eyes delayed me.

I don’t want to spoil the details, but I’ve been working on a manga style mini comic of about 6 pages that I was going to post complete for Christmas. 4 pages are ready, but instead of posting them now, I will give you a link to the December rewards where I will post the complete work as intended as soon as it’s ready. That way, you will get your rewards in the next days even if you unsubscribe for January.

About my eyes issue. I had laser surgery in August. Ever since, my eyes have been bothering me. The dryness, augmented by the exposure to the PC, made my vision slightly blurred and created little cracks in my corneas according to my ophthalmologist. Some days ago, my left eye started to hurt and got bright red. I got an emergency appointment yesterday and it seems I got a little infection through the exposure. He advised me to reduce my long periods of time in front of the screen to the minimum and allow the corneas to heal completely (or as much as laser surgery corneas heal). Nothing of this is dangerous or irreversible, but he said I definitely have to make drastic changes.

So, between that and my main job that’s been a lot more demanding, I will have to make adjustments. I first considered closing my Patreon, at least temporarily, but I want to give it a chance with a less definitive solution first.

I will create a new tier that consists of:

- Lower price

- Constant AI content. I am aiming to an average of an image every two days to daily.

- Ongoing comic pages as they are made, and they will have priority over regular images.

Note this is just a temporary tier while I feel like I’m ready to go back to normal, unless it proves to be something people prefer.

For instance, I’ve noted some of my AI content has more likes and reactions than traditional images or even comic pages I worked for days to make.

So, my regular Patreon will become exclusively AI during this period. That doesn’t mean the traditional work is going entirely. But I will dedicate its time exclusively to the ongoing comics in order to have more constant progress. I will keep you posted about all traditional artwork updates on my social media. So, if you don’t care about my AI work, you can still keep track of what’s going on with my traditional artwork and subscribe only for what you want, when you want at a reduced price.

I will unpublish the current tier, but will still be available regularly during January for those who remain subscribed. You will have access to both the current and new tier rewards so you have most of January to decide if you like what you see and want to change to the new one.

I hope you understand my reasons. Please know that I will do my best to give you very exciting things this 2024!

I’ll leave here the December rewards link. Happy New Year!
