Some changes and future plans (Patreon)

In the last few days I've been pretty silent and was mainly just posting content (except for when speaking with Sergeants for the commissions), sorry about that.

But lets focus on all the things going on and about the future moving forward:

1. Commissions

Other than the 10-10 commissions that sergeants get monthly, I've successfully set-up my PayPal business account to be able to accept commissions from anyone.
For now the current image sets that I sell this way are the following:

• Set of 10 images (one character): 20$

• Set of 20 images (one or two characters): 30$

In the future I'd like to have various events with discounts for Patrons only but for now this is the standard commissioning setup.

For the commissions in the Sergeant tier, I'd like to do what I should've done from the beginning just didn't put the time into thinking logically, and starting from next month (2025 January), I'll be giving out the commission requests on membership renewal rather than at the start of the month. This will ensure that I don't get a lot of commissions at the start of every month, and will be able to better keep up with delivering them within a reasonable timeframe.

2. Optimization and Art styles

As most of the "older" Patrons are aware I have a secondary Art style named "Dark Fantasy", which I haven't really posted lately but is still available for anyone who commissions me through either the Sergeant tier or PayPal commissions. However I'm trying to work out a more Anime like style as well so that anyone who'd like to have certain characters or their commissions in that style, I'll be able to create that as well.

For optimization I've tried out countless things, and found some of them working, and I think I currently am able to get the maximum out of my current PC regarding generation times. This however is still not a short time and I end up working very long hours even throughout the weekends. This will lead us to the next point.

3. Schedule changes

I've talked to a few Patrons about this and with some tips and thoughts I'll be changing up my work schedule a little so that I may have some rest from time to time. The only change in the new schedule will be that, I'll be posting only 10 images on Monday and 10 on Tuesday opposed to the regular 20 - 20.
Meaning that instead of the weekly 140 images, I'll be posting 120 instead.
This may change back or even increase in the future once I have the resources to upgrade my PC and cut-off a lot of generation time during which I can't use my PC for anything else (not even for editing).

4. Upcoming polls

Other than the weekly character and occasional scene polls, I'm planning to create some other polls from time to time to keep things interesting. Some of the poll ideas that I have and will likely be coming up in the future are the following:

• Runner ups: A poll consisting of characters that received votes before, but didn't make it into the selection. I might make these image sets consisting of 5 rather than 10 images, but will release a total of 4 sets instead of the 2 to reach the usual daily 20 images.

• Dress up poll: A poll consisting of characters that already received an image set earlier, but this time they'll be dressed up in different ways than usual. Think of maid outfits, catgirls, swimsuits and others :P

I'll be brainstorming up more and more ideas to make everything a little more exciting and alive, and have more chance to interact with every single one of my supporters ❤️.
