Letter to my friends - Announcement #1 (Patreon)

WazzUp friends! 👋

After the madness of December and January, I’ve realized there are a few things I need to adjust:

• When I cram my schedule too tightly, the quality of my illustrations takes a hit—and that’s unfair to you all. 😔

• I don’t have enough time to learn and experiment. To avoid creating illustration sets that feel overly scripted or have a heavy "AI-generated" vibe, each work is crafted with unique ideas, attention to detail, and a commitment to telling meaningful stories. 🌟Lately, I’ve been diving into photography and scriptwriting, hoping to bring you better storytelling and higher-quality works. 📸✍️

• For those supporting at $20 and above, I feel like I haven’t been offering enough perks, which makes me feel guilty. 💔

• Balancing my main job and this creative work has been rough—it’s landed me in the hospital more times than I care to admit. This can’t keep happening. 🏥

So, after giving it some serious thought, I’ve decided to tweak my schedule starting in February. Here’s the plan:

• [Go Through] (small sets, under 20 pages): Uploaded whenever inspiration strikes—no pressure. 🎨

• [Bonus Stage] (mid-sized sets, 48–58 pages): Updated every Tuesday, sometimes free content to free members. 🎁

• [Image Set] (large sets, 98+ pages): Uploaded every Saturday—packed with more detailed works. 🖼️

• [VIP Image Set] 5th of every month, an exclusive illustration set will be released for the $20+ tier. These sets will be non-deletable

• Upload times will be in the evening (Japan time), which works out as morning for my US/EU friends. ⏰

• Older and overdue [Image Sets] will be available for purchase on KO-FI/Booth, so you won’t miss out. 🛒

• Unless it’s for a special holiday event, I won’t be creating sets over 198 pages anymore. That ROSHIDERE 3P project with 300+ pages? Yeah, I redid it once, and it was exhausting. 😵‍💫 Quality suffered, and it’s just not worth it. I still have the old version, though—maybe I’ll release it for free one day! 🎉

I can’t thank you enough for all your support—it means so much to me. 🥹 As someone still learning the ropes of AI illustration, I’ll keep pushing myself to improve and bring you even better (and spicier 🔥) works in the future. Let’s keep growing together! 💕

—Your slightly sleep-deprived but grateful artist friend 😊
