Waddup pimps,

I get tons of requests in the surveys, but since I can't reply from that form, they never got an answer.

That's the reason for which I thought maybe something like a Q&A post would be better suited for all of 'em.

I'll take the questions from the comment section on this post and then try to answer back. They can be related to themes for the rewards as well as the way I handle tiers. Whatever you wanted to ask, except questions like "are you gonna draw x character?" since they would get all the same answer.

I hope you find this post useful and interesting and that will answer things that never got one. I'll try to reply at most if not all of them!

Also please make sure to not repeat questions.

Ever thought about doing more collabs? The one with Kittew (D.Va x Mercy) was amazing!

Azifal

Do you think you will make some tutorials in the future?

Alan Sherrill

How old were you when you came up with your OCs? We're you doodling in middle school, or are they all a more recent thing?

sdk_mal

Have you considered going back to do more lesbian pr0n works, such as your Nidalee/Ahri pieces from a ways back? Those were great!

Colin

How big is you penis? JK

Reier Gotter

How do you decide to include pr0n sets in some batches but other times you do not?

NYANDERE

How do you stay motivated to put so much detail into your work?

fade.to.oblivion

When will you extend more invitations to your Discord server?

sciamano240

I did, but, since the quality wasn't the same as the rest, I decided to stop. Also many people complained about the quality, so I didn't feel that great to keep going with them.

Ryan Voeltner

Do you ever plan on doing any tutorials, guides, or look at your workflow?

lül

will there be more pr0n in future rewards?

Ryan Voeltner

Thanks. Was doing on my phone so could not see them all.

lül

didnt see that, my bad, i hope he will consider doing those again

sciamano240

Yes I thought about it. I'd have to find an artist that's ok with it tho and that I'd like to work with. Kittew is a talented artist and I like her works. Also our styles are a bit similar, but I can't say the same for many others. Collabs require time and to leave some things pass through. It's hard to critique someone you're working with because you don't like how he/she draws something in particular. I may think about it in the future if there is an occasion. Right now I should probably focus on catching up.

sciamano240

When I get a good internet, I may try twitch. If it works out, I may do something there. Not tutorials, but maybe some tips while working on a picture. I thought tho about making a GIMP tutorial, so that you can edit my rewards and change pieces of clothing or expressions by yourself. I think that would be cool. I'll consider it.

sciamano240

They are very recent. Chloe was the first one and she was created last year. Chloe and Valerie come from me playing with a game where you could create characters and customize them. Actually Bianca was the really first one and I made her just to have a Patreon mascotte. Didn't put too much thought into them, but I'm planning to do so. Maybe give them a proper background.

sciamano240

Between 15cm and 20cm. Can't disclose more info.

sciamano240

pr0n were an experiment and, since people complained they weren't good enough quality wise, I decided to stop with them. I think it's better for everyone this way. Maybe they'll return, maybe not.

sciamano240

I like to put details in my works, even if sometimes it takes so much time that I end up rushing something else. I don't think it's a good thing, since it makes me slow and waste time on stuff that many wouldn't even notice. Motivation just comes and go. I learned that sometimes drawing what you like just for a day or two, can really make the difference and make me enjoy art more.

sciamano240

I may try twitch and see how it goes. Tutorials not really, but I thought about doing a GIMP quick tutorial to explain how to crop and merge different variants to make the one you want.

sciamano240

Maybe, maybe not. Pr0n got old really quick and expectations were too high, as xenox said. At 1k patrons there will be some pr0n, so I guess you can wait for that!

sciamano240

1° Poses are the most annoying part for me and I don't find high angle shots particularly appealing. Then I have to consider the possible nsfw version when i make one and make sure to draw vegana and bobs. I don't particularly like lewd poses and action poses are weird when you do the nsfw. Idle is the easiest way to go for me. 2° I won't do a poll to reintroduce them, since they're time consuming. If I'm in the mood, I may do something as an extra in the future, but I can't promise anything. For sure there will be some for the 1000 patrons milestone. 3° If that was true, the votes would be really similar, but they are always different. Also if you dont know a character, that would be a reason to dislike the rewards, but like the NSFW variants (if they are good). In fact the first question has always less high votes. At least that's how I see it. 4° Since the new Adept Tier doesn't have NSFW rewards, I had to.

NYANDERE

What piece was the most difficult?

sciamano240

Off the top of my head, I'd say Tyrande. There are some other artworks I had hard time with tho, like the Firekeeper and Ashe from Overwatch. Tons of details, a lot of time spent making them look good and not messy.

Zero

If we happen to miss buying one of your months packages, about how long does it take you to make it available on Gumroad or any other similar site?

sciamano240

Lately I've been uploading the pack to Gumroad 1 or 2 days after sending it to patrons. So yes, 1 or 2 days.

Zero

This Q&A is a fun way to be in near-direct contact with your customers. Do you have any plans to do this kind of "almost instant-chat" session in the near or distant future? Also sorry if my questions are a repeat of anyone else's, but 30+ posts, and counting, can be a progressively-lot to look through.

Reier Gotter

That's disappointing to hear. I thought they were great quality. I don't know how anyone could complain about them.

Zero

With how much your skill in these arts improves over the years, do you ever think of going back and remastering any of your older works for your customers that are nostalgic for your past arts to be updated with skills you have now that you may not have had back then?

Red Hondo

Which is the character, either male or female, you would like to draw most? I mean, your personal favorite char.

Sirahan

Great, I'm really looking forward to the day the gimp tutorial is made. Not every time you merge my favorite variants together, so I had to do it myself. Now that you're finally thinking about making gimp tutorials, it's really good news for me.

Dren

I am just here to say that the pr0n rewards were really good. Will really miss them. I would like to see more art on that "sketchy" way even if it not with sexy scenes. Ever thought of having commisions on that style? I am guessing they won´t be so much time consuming and quite sure a lot of people will be interested.

Erengis

I've been creating my own variants with great results in the most powerful raster graphic software on the planet - MsPaint. It does require pixel precision and can be quite tedious but works. If you were to provide files with proper layers, creating a variant would take mere seconds :3

sciamano240

Instant chat? Something like Discord? I don't know which are the options to do something like that, but maybe Twitch can be considered one?

sciamano240

I thought about it, in fact it's even hard for me to look at some of my older artworks. For some of the artworks that I posted on Pixiv, I even did small edits to make them look better. Doing it in high fashion? I don't know, maybe when and if I get better!

sciamano240

Ofc I'm gonna say it's one of my OCs. I really enjoy drawing Chloe.

sciamano240

I did thought about it. I kinda wanna improve them a bit more and maybe next year I'll make a Patron tier for commissions with that sketchy style. It won't be pr0n tho. I can't say pr0n will come back, but if I'm in mood, I may do something like that in the future.

sciamano240

Photoshop is not accessible to everyone, GIMP is. Also if you can do it on GIMP, you can do it anywhere you want. All the basic features in image editors are the same.

sciamano240

That's one really specific tutorial. I don't want to teach people how to draw.

sciamano240

The first question is pretty much like rating the set, the characters chosen and the overall quality. The second is only the NSFW. I don't see a big issue with that. If anything, I'd go with more specific questions like "rate SFW" and "rate NSFW". The set in this case would end up being something in between. I need both the votes since NSFW version are painted over the SFW artworks at the end of the process.

sciamano240

I think the "rate your favorite picture of the pack" question is pretty much it, when added to the previous 2 questions.

Zero

For those of us that have only discovered you lately, can you tell us just briefly when you stopped doing pr0n work and why?

Zero

There's over 50 posts to look through and not all of us have the time to sit down and read through them all. No need to be rude, a simple, "He stopped them because..." would have been fine, thank you.

sciamano240

pr0n were an experiment and, since people complained they weren't good enough quality wise, I decided to stop with them. I think it's better for everyone this way. Maybe they'll return, maybe not. -copypasta from previous question

Zero

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to reply this answer again.

@xenon I remember back in school days every time a new student entered the room just slightly later than the last, they would all have the same question during orientation and the teacher would be understanding and have no problem repeating the answer. This is when I learned that some people are more understanding (Sciamano240) than others *coughxenoncough* when it comes to getting new comers up to speed. Also, what you call laziness, on my end of the computer is multitasking a family, bills, work, and planning the coming days ahead of time on a regular daily basis, hence my lack of time for sitting down to sift through posts. Not all of us have as much free time as you do apparently. and your "Welcome" is rescinded.
