Akumi Focused 2017 (Patreon)

  Hello Friends! This is post is gonna be full of thoughts and goals I want to accomplish this year so strap in and lets go!

Focus: Focus One Course Until Successful. 2016 I feel was a me building a platform for Akumi on Patreon. Starting with the "game art" content and then the adult focused content. While those things will still be a part of Miltonius Arts, 2017's focus this year will be to produce new Akumi episodes!  I'd like to have, at the most, a 2 month turn around for each episode. This takes a lot of organization and smart design. The originals took us 3+ months while the Xtremes took 1+ month so I think we can find harmony inbetween.  Incase you're wondering, Akumi will remain an adult animation where we can let our most depraved ideas fly and I'm pushing my animation skills to the max.  

How will this new focus change what goes on here?

Well I plan to gauge that this Tuesday with the new Patreon poll feature! I'll be showing you a lot of the stuff I'm work on starting Monday. Expect at least 2 posts a day showcasing work.

Conventions

We want to begin promoting Akumi at Conventions. Comic, Anime, Adult and Sci-Fi conventions. Was talking to Adam (Artix) about it today and he said go big or go home. Just the kick in the butt I needed. First goal will be to hold a panel at this year's Anime Expo. ( AX 2017 )  It keeps getting bigger each year. If I can get a booth even better! I figure at the panel, we'll answer questions and showcase all our animations on a big screen. Get some cosplay girls to dress up as Akumi and other Akumi characters. :) This is all off the top of my head but ideas are a stirring. I'll also get all of your ideas on what could happen as this progresses. I also want to be a part of a lot of the smaller anime/comic conventions that happen during the year.  Akumi Animations need to have a presence in those areas.

Building the Akumi Universe

This week I've been pushing my skills past my comfort zone. Along with the new desktop image above featuring Akumi characters. ( Including 4 characters commissioned by your fellow Akumi Patrons. ) I made some cool animations featuring a new character, Trang. I'll post up the animations I did during the week. Plus got a ton of animation done on the Music Video. I also have a bunch of character sheets to unleash upon you to start introducing you to some of the characters of the Akumi Universe.

Releasing Patreon Art to Artix Ent. 

Last but not least, the very first game art to be released on my Patreon (Void Knight) will be playable in Adventure Quest Worlds soon! This opens the door for this to happen more in the future.

Things to Expect this Coming Week... 

• Void Knight Set Release for Adventure Quest Worlds
• Voting Poll on what you Patrons want most from this Patreon
• Character Sheets of Akumi Characters
• Previews of Character Animations/ Music Video I did this week

Onwards and Upwards!
