Nothing serious (or maybe it is) I just need to start bringing order to this nonsense (my nonsense) I really want to know what you think (if you have time of course) im not asking you to read it all (its gonna be mass of text)1) I'm really sick of drawing "anon" or "faceless dude" when im drawing Apogee pron doodles. pov is fine i guess but there is not much variety in camera angles you can draw with pov really.So if you have any ideas about that - i want to know. Maybe you want to collectively create character in comment. Or maybe you want give your OCs for that (but then its getting super unfair and i dont know if charging money for that make it special) Or maybe "anon" is fine. Or you want everything at the same times.(by doodles i mean something like i did with heat and skateboarding on a beach thing) i need to know because i dropped like 2 of those already because it was weird.2) In general - what do you want from me?Anything from commissions, to random interactive things like MLRS i do or strip games or whatever. It is actually really important for me because i live in constant anxiety of "im definitely doing everything wrong" which always ends up in me drawing Apogee most of the time because of fear.But you are paying me money here... so i need to do something (even tho im terrified of idea to satisfy almost 900 people... omg... weird sentence)3) Last year's and this one's economy was not great. Im not gonna do anything without talking to you but my financial situation. But i need to do something to... improve it i guess?Basically i can see 2 main ways:- Either im starting to take money from commissions (which i need to sort out)- Or im rising prices to tiers from 1, 5,10 to 2, 6,12 euro and everything stays the same.I really dont like talking about this... but i respect your money and your commitment to supporting me for very questionable and even gambling-like gains.I know its a lot of text and again im not asking you to read it. Im still going crazy about all of this (even tho its been more than a year). Thank you so much for support.im probably gonna make polls for so more people can just share their opinions without spending their time on this nonsense but i would like to have more opinions on questions first

You can do it! Get out there and satisfy all 900 of us! Individually! I believe in you!

TheBioArmy

The comic like ones are nice, like the heat one

River Lynx

I want to see what Apogee's child would look like. Also what the inside of Apogee's vagina look like?

Geventax

1) I'm fine with faceless dude, but if you're sick of drawing him then that's understandable. Don't really have an idea for alternative but others might 2) I subbed in order to get more apogee art and that is exactly what you deliver. Personally I am very satsified. 3) With both the amount and quality of art you manage to create, I would absolutely be willing to take an increase in price

Colt Treig

Raise your prices, 1 dollar is a steal for how much art you put out and while I can't speak for others I would happily pay more for this.

TheHollowKing

For anon interacting with brown Doggo I’d recommend using the high tier members ocs for free via a wheel spin with the Patreon members name on one space of the wheel. Each member gets to be picked twice and then removed as to allow other members a chance of winning. After everyone gets the chance to be drawn, 2nd highest tier will go up and do the same except they can only win once.

Shana

1) making a unique char for her i think would be cute af~ i also like just random partners that dont nessecarily need to be others OCs. 2) ur art is v cute and im already in love with wut u do. 3) it would be very understandable for u to increas prices, we all want u to do wuts best for u so u can keep making us cute doggo pics~ ♡

Trevor

I would be extremely interested in commissioning something from you as long as we can request work of best girl. Increasing all tiers by a dollar likely isn't going to scare most people away from your page, go for it. I'm here to see cute dog, sometimes lewded

Lunar Reaper117

I think your artwork is amazing and I'm happy to support anyway I can, and I think polls are a good way to see where people stand and see what people would want, I think apogee should have a character that's unique instead of anon, a poll would be a great way to see what others think, I love your art and thank you for making me happy with how cute it is 😊

Christiana

I just love to see Apogee, but I like your art in general 😊 Honestly, I like the Anon male in Apogee's stories (as a trans girl is easier to identify 😅). Concerning your prices, I totally understand if you have to raise your Patreon prices, maybe I'll have to cancel it (I don't earn much 😅), but it's totally understandable, I still don't know why you make us pay so little for so much good art !

Georgy

I'm glad I can help. 1. I'd leave the faceless type, I don't mind and to change the fursons every time is in my opinion quite costly on time. Keep one. 2. I can't tell you what to draw or invent. Make some commissions and do it for a nominal amount (5$ for example). Draw whatever you can think of, everything can be judged. 3. If you raise the price (for example from 10 to 12€), then I personally will gladly pay extra, because I like to support creators like you

IISerph

1) you have multiple options here, depends how fine you are with them. You could like others say make a partner for her. Or you can use oc's of patreon or anyone who's willing. For payment or as a "reward" 2) I think whatever you find fun, again commissions are always fun for us. I think It's certainly is something that will always haunt you slightly. But all of us here I think are here cause we like to follow what you do or draw. At least that's a certainty. 3)I would not mind making the tiers more expensive and will support you in it.But not everybody shares that mindset. So maybe you can add something to all tiers. (Doesn't need to be big or time consuming) So most people have the feeling they are getting also value out of it? Anyway keep on the great work and hopefully this was kind of helpful.

Pat Lahey

Question 1: I would like it if our OCs could have more opportunities with Apogee. I think we all would. As for "anons", I think they're fine too as they allow us to put ourselves in such a situation with Apogee if we so desire to fantasize such.

FinalBossBowser

1) Honestly I think you should draw whoever you like. If you are sick of an Anon draw a character you like, or if you want/need to ask for suggestions like your "commissions". 2) Again, draw what/who you want. All of your art is really good and I personally am very satisfied with the 2 drawings you've done of my character Kityara. Apogee is great, but you are capable of more than just her, remember that. 3) One thing you could do is start actually charging for commissions. I understand that doing so can add stress because now you "have" to fulfill the commission, but it's an idea. You could also put commisions calls exclusive to a higher tier .

Pat Lahey

Question 2: Let me ease your mind. You are doing nothing wrong. I actually enjoy the mix of Apogee Lore, the commissions, every MLRS, and the strip games. I like everything you've done. You give us an enjoyable variety of everything.

Pat Lahey

Question 3: I am totally okay with you raising the prices to each of your Patreon Tiers. Your art is worth it and so is Apogee.

Drake Mayors

Can you do a faceless anon generic furry? Like the blue "YCH" placeholders in so many Telegram sticker packs?

trugedace

Listen bro, I like everything you do. I like when you use anon, yourself, that black dog or male apogee as a partner. You've been my favourite artists for over 3 years or so and I still haven't changed my mind about you being the greatest. I've seen a lot of hentai and porn and I still prefer your art over anything else. Every time I see you doing art, I become happy for a day or so. You should start taking money for commission's like 10-20$ per piece, just don't make it like one of those shitty "half body 20$, full body 40$..." Commisions. Love yourself, not because you want it, but because you deserve it.

Phoxza

I’m just here to support you and because I love your style and everything I actually like the whole anon thing its the easy answer but i would love like a “cannon” boyfriend character plus I think some of the not straight folk would also like that

JustSomeFurryFan

1) I'm fine with anon. Personally I think it serves the purpose of allowing us to like, imagine ourselfs in a life with Apogge 2) Commissions are a good idea. But I also like the sometimes random stuff and some Apogge and other characters cute/lewd pics (I would like to see more lewd thing honestly, but that's because of my horny attitude jeje). At the end of the day we are here to support what you do, so don't be afraid of trying new things 3) Increasing the price as the ones you said is actually a wise idea, considering the current state of the world and the economy. Besides, we would love to continue seeing your work

Fawkes

For the first question let there be some sort of canon boyfriend to be the stand in for any prone images, could be fun to have the patrons help design them. As for the second I like seeing the different strip games, lore images and MLRS images, so no real change there. And lastly if you're willing to offer commissions I would be interested.

Kevin

I love your art, Apogee is my all time favorite, but if you are taking suggestions, I would not mind seeing a comic of her work someone😁

TouchFluffyTail

1) I can see how faceless dude would be boring. And I like the idea of creating a character as a partner, not only is this more 'fair' it's also entirely in your control. You CAN ask us how we'd like them, but you can veto things and make changes as well. Where if you bring in other peoples OCs it could get complicated based on peoples expectations and hopes. 2) I love seeing Apogee, of course, some pinups and wallpapers could be nice too (dakimakura? ;) ). But I'd love to see you experiment and branch out, some different body types, friends for Apogee? 3) I've loved the "free" commissions, but I do think you should charge for them separately from Patreon sub. I don't think raising the tier prices affects anyone already subbed, only future subscribers. I've found myself at levels that no longer exist with other Patreons that I've been subbed to for years. Still getting my benefits but for lower prices than currently offered.

Rox79

1. I personally don't mind the faceless character when you draw interactions with Apogee or your other characters. If you don't want to draw the Anon character then you could always come up with your own character or you could run a series of poles that have generic traits that we can vote on. 2. Apogee is what brought me to your art and I stay because I like your art style and the characters you've created. You probably don't want to hear this since it most likely wont help you figure out what to draw more of or lessen your anxiety but I want you to draw what makes you happy and what you enjoy. Sure I'm paying you but I'm doing that to support you and your growth as an artist while getting to see cute and sexy images of our favorite smol dog girl. 3. I don't have an issue if you need to raise the prices of your tiers but I also know that not everyone can afford a price increase. This is a hard decision to make and whatever you chose to do I'll be here supporting you.

Jester

1)I'm okay with any outcome, but maybe another OC to be canon with Apogee...idk 2)New poses or situations on art, like it was with the walk to the sea. I can see how repetative it could be without proper scenes, but i again okay with any outcome. 3)I don't mind this kind of change, because first of all - you never heavily monetised your content, and i respect that. Money is treatherous matter, and i could tell how sometimes it can be hard to balance things. But anyway, i agree with this idea

Ryumou

Hi I'm usually the ghost type on the networks. But I will tell you, in my case: 1) I like your art, and the character is cute, as long as you draw her and his friend , from time to time, so draw whatever you want, I love it. 2) Regarding the fee, I think it's good, and you offer a lot. If you had to raise it, I would understand. It wouldn't be a problem for me. 3) for drawings, perhaps dark, steampunk, disco. experiment ^^ it can be fun. And not knowing how to draw, I don't know how difficult, it may be what I'm telling you. PS I'm sorry about my English, it's from google translator, which, I'm not good at writing it.

freaking

1)Every outcome would be fine 2)Again any outcome would be fine. You bring out one masterpiece after anoter. Do what you deem to be good. 3) You can do both. You are an amazing artist, so I'd be fine with any increase. Also, if commisions bring in some extra cash, do it, and take some time off

Seth Richards

1. I would suggest making a werewolf OC lover for Apogee. That way, he can be either a human or a furry at your leisure. 2. I came for Apogee but stayed for the rest of your art. Draw what feels right. I'll probably enjoy it. 3. I'm okay with sending more money if it'll help.

Dracef

I'd argue a baseline character to pair with Apogee would be best. Have a poll or something like that to decide how they look (Or don't and make Apogee's match). I like what you have going. If I'd as for anything, more comics would be neat. I'm upping my tier now, you cannot stop me.

Sebastian Douglas

1) I think with it being your character, it would be interesting to see the creation of a canonical partner for her. Who is the one that's been taking care of her with those sickly times? I feel like with seen a personality of them already from previous posts, just never a face. (Apparently I can't make a new line with enter on a phone so here come wierd lines) ------‐----------- 2) personally, I enjoy the interactive things like the games, but I've been pretty content with the content as is. ----------------- 3) I've always beleived, since I started paying from the start, you are underselling yourself. I understand charging more is intimidating, but you have to look out for your needs. I think your tiers should cost more, and if you still need to supplement your income with commissions, you can tackle that afterwards.

PikaFan15

I don't have much of an answer to number 1, I'd say draw what you want, but as for number 2 I would be fine with slightly increased prices. I would also definitely get commissions if you started to sell them. Your art is such a great value and I'm happy to pay for it!

Cutter W

1) I think maybe workshopping a new male OC with your patreon supporters or Twitter followers would be cool and then he could fill in for the faceless partner for Apogee. Either that or bring back male Apogee as a partner? 2) Personally I would LOVE a chance to commission you. Doing more of that would be cool if you were up for it. But as for other content, maybe take more patreon polls for future ideas, like games, fanart characters, situations to put Apogee in, etc. those are always fun. 3) If you went with more commissions that would be more money. But I would stick around if you raised prices. I’m not sure if hundreds of other people would though, I just don’t know.

Irgendwer Anders

1) Got some male OC designs lying around you could dust off? Or maybe think about what/who you'd like to draw, compile a list and let the T3 patrons vote on it. 2) Generally, I'm happy with the content you put out. I'd just like it if some of your other characters got brought out of storage a bit more frequently. 3) I think you should start charging for comms regardless of tier prices. I'd also be fine if you raised tier prices a bit. As a $1 patron, we get a lot of content for very little cost (shut up, it's good content).

Aidan Blu

1) I know alot of us have more than one OC I don't know if you do but I you do you could use that OC as Apogee's partner or you could do a new partner every month with the OC's of your supporters. 2) Everything peice of art you have put out has been extremely good and enjoyable exspicily the comic style ones and I would love to see more of those in the future. 3) I know this might be an unpopular opinion but I honestly believe you have been under selling yourself and would be more than ok with an increase in the subscription cost, with that being said I also don't see why you can't also charge for commission's even if it's only a small amount of money that your asking for your art is more than good enough to have to pay for it and your putting your time and effort into the art so you should be getting something in return for that.

ThirdKind

1) Let us submit our OCs and we can have a vote, see who wins. 2) More Comic style art would be neat. 3) Up the prices for the tiers you deserve to be paid for your work.

sneakinresidence

1) yes, you need a likable male character to pair her with. maybe cook up a few you think might be suitable before any polling or such. 2) i think i mostly want what you have been doing lately, though i don't mind other characters mixed in occationally. if you want to spend some of the time you put into this to experiment with something you feel might be fun, for you or for 'us', i think you should do it. both because i don't want you to burn out and because 'we' might enjoy the result. you are one of the most productive artists i subscribe to on patreon, so i think there is plenty of room to try out different stuff, if you feel that you need to, and still ...satisfy 'our' need for apogee...(yeah, doesn't sound quite right) 3) with the amount and quality you produce i don't mind paying you more, i subscribed because you want you to keep drawing

Janevim

(1) I honestly like the concept of her talking to the viewer more than being with a boyfriend. But if anon is not suitable for a certain idea, some random character can be used from time to time. It's your call but i don't think that canon bf is the right path to take. (2) you don't have to feel anxious about whether you are doing enough for us. It's great everytime. Maybe create a poll and let patreons decide future plans. (3) And if we're talking about the financial side, I think it's not problem to pay more per month. It's still extremly cheap anyways for this kind of quality.

RavageTalon

Create an OC analogous to Apogee named Perigee.

Motivated

Welp here we go 1) Touchs idea is good i like it but whatever you choose to do is fine by me, you delivered good stuff so i trust your judgment. 2) Well, i've been meaning to ask about this in a dm, i just postponed it cause you where doing the heat project and didn't want to bother (i'll send it in the morning and will get more detailed there). Apogee stuff is always good, i would like to see more comic stuff and some of your experiments as well (yes i will bring up the Fracture thing). 3) It wont bother me to be honest, the only downside is the *REDACTED* VAT tax

Aerma

personally, apogee art is why i'm subscribed to your patreon, and i'm happy with the content as-is. that said, im very open to whatever else you'd want to draw or put on here, i def like the idea of you doing comms!

GuardianLorian

1 - To avoid Anon, you could create a male OC for this kind of situation with Apogee, or if you wish to use the OCs of your Patreons instead, you could create a list of those who wish to participate, and draw randomly or whoever you think is best for such and such a situation, trying to keep a kind of equity between your Patreons. More management than simply creating a male OC, so it's up to you to see if you feel up to it, otherwise a new male OC from you seems the best solution for you. 2 - What I "want" from you is that you continue the art you're doing, which you've been doing until now, you're doing a really great job, so don't change a thing about it. Why not commission openings, because I for one would love to commission you because I love your art. But probably charge for them (to answer your question 3), and then see how much you charge for them. But if I support you, it's not because I expect anything from you, it's because I love your art, and I want to help you make it your stable and correct source of income. 3 - If your financial situation isn't good enough for you, I think these two solutions are good to take. Being at the $5 level, an extra dollar isn't a problem for me, but we'll have to see about those at the higher level. Take very good care of yourself, you do gorgeous work!

Fenrir 87

I will support you and apogge and definitely wouldn't mind paying form some commission work

Wind

I think everyone agrees we all love your art and adore Apogee. I think you either don’t understand, or have forgotten that: 1) you should be drawing what you enjoy drawing. Try not to focus on what we want so much. We are here supporting you and we’re along for the ride. We will support you in any direction you go. It’s why we are here in the first place 2) definitely increase the price of that is what you need to do. You have made us all Apogee addicts and I need my fix. 😉

Brandon

1) I think anon dude is overrated and boring as well. Do you have any male (or female) characters you'd want to show with Apogee? I mean you've done commissions and such, I generally like all of them so I would like any sort of OC for Apogee's partner, human or otherwise. I think the partner/self insert character can have personality and uniqueness while still being relatable. Maybe it'd be nice to see someone who treats Apogee well? Someone who showers her with the love she deserves? Idk, I wouldn't be opposed to it. Also, we rarely if ever get to see Apogee kissing anyone. I would love to see Apogee being shown physical affection other than just sex. Sex is great, but kissing and hugging are nice too.

Brandon

2) I would love to see more animations! I'm sure they're more difficult, but I wouldn't mind if they take longer or if there's longer gaps in posts. Also I love the doodles/Apogee lore. I feel like you responded to exactly what I asked for last time, and I'm super appreciative:)

Brandon

3) I wouldn't hesitate to support you at a higher rate. You provide way more content, and quality of content, than the majority of patreons of this sort that I've been part of... I think it's fine to raise the rates.

DragonEddy

1. Not concerned with who Apogee is interaction with, just how she's interacting and how she's reacting to it 2. I'm here to look at Apogee. I feel how you release content provides enough variety to keep me coming back. 3. I'd give money for a commission (tried, in fact, heavy metal Apogee), if you wanted a little more compensation I wouldn't be against it

Mister Clacky

1) It would be neat to have other characters show up instead of blankfaced Anons. Personally, I've always disliked Anon characters (At least yours aren't green!). With your work, it hasn't been any kind of issue because you do take so much care with POV and such to get around it. I can also see the appeal of a singular 'boyfriend' character becoming a consistent thing, since her personality seems very monogamous, or at least seems to need a lot of trust before opening up. Doing some kinda poll/contest for 'Design a Boyfriend' could be a lot of fun for the community. 2) Confession, I don't actually know what MLRS means. I've pieced together that it means submitting a character and it may get sketched later. I think doing that style of Patreon rewards is good for the community. I know I shot a character over in Discord and hope it may come out in your style eventually. I think most people here enjoy Apogee enough they don't mind that's the primary draw because... well... it was the primary draw. A more defined Patreon rewards system might be nice, but would require bookkeeping on your end which is always lame. Like, $5 Patrons get a point a month they pay and can turn in points for things. 4 points for a pencil sketch, 10 points for a normal commission. Something Patrons could save up to know they could get some eventual art without it being the luck of the draw. It's more work to track, but could encourage more folks to join the higher tiers. 3) Those are very reasonable increases. It's always a crapshoot doing increases because having a couple people get turned off can erase several people staying on at the higher rate. I'd certainly plan to stay. It might help if doing an increase came with the implementation of a new perk system or some other visible change to rewards. With such a modest proposed change, I wouldn't think there would be much fall off as a direct result. Doing commission work circumvents that entirely, but adds a whole new potential workload. My two cents anyway. Hope it helps to get a bit of outside perspective.

Ice4smaster

1.) Personally i don't mind anon or any specific character, so long it's wholesome and or sexy it's all good. 2.) MLRS and strip games are fun and awesome. And i say it here, the things you make are exactly that, fun and awesome. If needed get a metal placate above your computer rig that say "anxiety be damned, people saying i doing good artz" and you do, anxiety comes, bash it with a mantra as such. And if there's something that might be off or could be improved, ask us, we can give tips or ideas, especially ones who are artist themselves. 3.) Money, the curse of the world. Yeah, both options are valid and time to time needs to increase indeed, i think though commissions should cost money. Just have a small roaster, dunno 2-3 people at a times so can steadily work through them and not have the feeling you are buried alive.

Crash2Draw

1: I don't mind Anon, but if you are sick of it, you can always try to mix it up a bit. Wouldn't mind an audience representative character. 2: I have had no issues with the content you provide so far. It's what I joined for after all. Single-piece Apogee drawings or more interactive things are always welcome. And commissions of course. I would personally really like another one of those, your time permitting. 3: I wouldn't mind if you charged a bit extra for commissions, it might also stem the tide of those if the price is correct. But you've always been one of the more affordable artists with your 1$ tier which makes it easy to recommend, but I wonder how much of that actually ends up being paid out after Patreon and taxes take their cut...

Kayla Bennett

1.) I don't particularly care for anon, but I'm also not all that into straight porn either, so that's the main issue for me. I'm just VERY into Apogee. I love the character, especially in your style. I'd be happier with the straight porn if the other character were furry rather than human, but if I were to vote, I'd vote to just stick with solo Apogee or try more lesbian or trans characters with her (or me? <3). 2.) I just love Apogee. But your art style is very appealing even when it isn't her. MLRS and strip games are fun. I am satisfied and very willing to stay around. 3.) You could potentially increase your revenue with merch. Apogee body pillow? A shirt with her tattoos on it? Feel free to message me if you're interested in something like that, I have a friend that owns a business just for those sorts of things.

signingjoe

1. I'm okay for you making a new character to be Apogee's cannon SO if you want. But I'm also okay if you just make a blank "anon" character to fill that need. Do what feels right for you! 2. I love what you put out! But I would like to see some more fan art from time to time; some Pokemon anthros/human characters, your versions of Sally Acorn, Amy Rose, and/or Rouge the Bat would be interesting! Loona from Hellva Boss, etc. Also, I would love some more human characters, Human Apogee is wifu material! Just have fun with it! 3. It sucks, it really does, but as the prices of everything goes up so does your prices. That's the way of economics... I'll still be here if/when you raise the prices, I'll for one understand. My suggestion is just get rid of your $1 tier, it's not worth it after fees and taxes. Just stick with at least a $3 or a $5 tier.

Ren

1) I'm not bothered by anon but think it's really cool to see her with other's sonas on occasion so the idea of an OC companion makes a bit of sense. Would be interesting to see what you/we can come up with, maybe make a game of it? Put up a poll for the species and other details, or maybe sketch a lineup for feedback at various stages? Could be fun! 2) I'm here for best doggo - anything else is a bonus. Don't feel pressured to generate more and more content, or to expand outside your comfort zone; we're here because we support you as you are, not because we expect you to change or churn out content 24/7. 3) Increasing your prices is OK! You've improved so much since this all began, you of all people are justified in upping your paygame. I'd also buy prints or other merch if such was available. Do art stream sometime :)

Halycon Five

I don't mind anon but i think it's a preference you or the commissioner would have to make. I doubt many would have an issue with it being whoever it ends up being. I'd love to see apogee, but i think as an answer to both, commissions and bigger projects are the answer. Something with a story to keep people invested and interested will not only increase interest but also increase the amount of money coming in, maybe a comic series but patrons get one month early access to posts, or something similar. I'd also love to see more commissions on the side, lord knows i'd love ask for some, not to mention it's a pretty big answer for money.

Ahikam Dent

I was going to write a reply but this was it. Take care of you and meet the needs of your life sweetheart, your desires for how you want to draw, and which characters you want to draw, i'm tagging along for the ride because Apo is best girl, and I do adore the lore bits of her, but those aren't required for me to love Apogee.

kindle

1.) I think you should give her a boyfriend character. Someone she shares her life with, and is consistently in loving artwork. 2.) I follow you for the Wholesome and lewd slice of life stuff. Even the lewd stuff its really pure and I love it. 3.) I personally follow you for your art and not the commissions. I'd happily pay a bit more if it keeps you able to do what your still doing

Anobody34

Yes!! Give her a boyfriend! Looking forward to seeing the two of them in some wholesome and/or hot scenes

Aaron Suniga

To be honest I don't mind pay more and I come here for the art because the first thing I as was apogee be gorgeous i would say maybe a boyfriend because it help get away from the no face character and pov

Aaron Suniga

The other 897 people probably would agree for a boyfriend

Helinon

1) I am fine with anything, perhaps even a mix of things would work. You could make a "build the community OC" set of polls and make an OC that way, and you could still occasionally ask for people to toss their OCs up for a pic or two. 2) Comms, games, MLRS, its all good! You've pretty much been doing a great job with all of that, so I wouldn't worry about needing to change it up too much. In the end, a lot of us joined up because we enjoy seeing Apogee drawn and want to support you, and if we're lucky maybe even get some art from ya along the way 3) Don't be afraid to increase your prices to those levels, its more than reasonable to do so, and if you do open comms again *please* consider actually taking payment for them even if you choose not to charge a lot XD

1) I really enjoy seeing Apogee with a variety of partners. That said, if you create an official partner, it develops Apogee's narrative, and learning more about Apogee (and her partner) has immense appeal. Since I want to have my cake and eat it too, I propose Apogee having two partners (male and female) or one partner who has both forms. There are other ways to make this work too, like alternate timelines or just different points throughout Apogee's life. 2) Almost goes without saying that I want Apogee content. If I were to rank what interests me most, it'd go something like: Apogee comic/lore > Apogee interacting with the world and (non-anon) characters in standalone pieces > standalone Apogee art > Strip games. As for irregular content, I want to commission you. Before reading the majority of comments here, I assumed that meant paying you, so to be clear, I want to pay you to draw my OC - maybe even multiple times since I'd like to see you portray them in various ways. 3) Both. I'm basically robbing you at $1/month with how much you release quality content. In fact, it bothers me and I've often thought how I really should pay you more, even if you won't make me. Will increase my pledge after this post but I'd encourage you to organize the tier rewards before announcing the new prices or to just paywall certain content.

I'm personally for more OC interactions with Apogee if the "Anon" is really getting that tedious. Pick a few of our OCs for the month, then next month pick a different set of our OCs, so on and so forth...

It seems we're in general agreement that you should raise your tier prices. You could easily get away with charging a little more than the increase you've already suggested. It also seems that we all enjoy the variety of the content you provide, especially Apogee Lore. It seems we're kinda divided on the partner thing for Apogee. Some want OCs to have more interactions with Apogee, some want her to have a canon boyfriend/mate based on our collective design put together via polls you create, while a few others enjoy the "anon" as it allows them to imagine themselves in place of the "anon" with Apogee.

To start with, you put out more art than any other artist I follow. If you need to raise the price I get that. Whatever you want to do with 1 is good with me, honestly I think charging folks to have their OC with Apogee in a kinda YCH deal is a great idea, pretty sure her design is what brought most of us here. And I'm up for anything content wise, especially if it has more cute Apogee or other gals involved

1) Yes! It would be so cool for her to have an official partner. 2) Love what you are doing but it would be cool if you created a story or comic involving Apogee, this could be a way to introduce a boyfriend for her. 3) Please charge for commissions, your art is beautiful and worth it. Also don't worry about raising the teir price, you post so much, it is totally worth it.

1) I think a good compromise would be one consistent main partner, with a variety of OCs as other partners. You could even have a higher tier for patrons to submit their OCs. If it gets flooded, you could create a backlog / priority list and limit how much you do each month. 2) I'm here for Apogee. She's adorable, and I enjoy almost every Apogee piece you put out. I do prefer lewds in general, and support very few SFW-only artists - but I think a mix is best. That being said, I encourage you to do a variety, provided you want to. It helps keep people interested, and it may help prevent burnout. It's also probably the best way to satisfy as many people as possible. 3) This is definitely tricky. Commissions are a fine source of income, but be aware that you will feel pressure to deliver, no matter how patient the client is. As for raising tiers, I have a couple of suggestions. * If you're worried about people not liking the price bump, you can start with a smaller bump and see how it performs. Many of your current subscribers would likely support you regardless, though. * I think there is value in having a $1 tier. It's cheap and more likely to encourage subscribers who aren't certain if they will like it. When I subscribed, I saw it was $1 and said "why the heck not". I'm hooked. Line, sinker, and all. If you raise the price for the tier, consider making a new $1 tier that has one picture from the batches you normally do, plus a couple previews. Maybe an extra pic if it's a particularly large batch. I'm sure this would net you some converts to higher tiers.

an equally very cute boy dog would be my vote.
