The BIG change - Toasty54 (Patreon)

For the past two years, i've been able to devote most of my time into crafting soft and huge ladies. I'll start by saying that i never expected my art to reach this scale, even way back in 2021-2022. I don't consider myself internet famous either.

After college, i really wanted to push my art to the max, and the Persona Special felt like the result of it. Now i stand here again, about to challenge myself with a Zelda Special.

I'm telling you all of this because, I initially didn't want Toasty to become the larger part of my life. I adore big women as much as you all do, but i knew that at some point i'd have to stop and pursue my animation career and/or creating a family.

I sat down with my boss (me), my accountant (me), the marketing team (also me) and the creative director (guess who) to talk about the potential of Toasty as a whole.

Good news: I'm renewing contract for at least 3 more years.

Here's the crazy part folks. This year has been an absolute mess, and yet, i've been able to test myself and improve my art. And it makes me SO happy, that The Bigger The Wealthier is being well received, and the fact that the characters managed to leave their planning sheets and become real, is fantastic.

I'm going to get a bit personal now. I know some of you value art, and others adore huge women. The perfect mix is both, and the folks that support my work, my Patreon, and reach out, truly have a special place in my heart. I'm very thankful for the support over the years. And as i mentioned at the beginning, the fear was holding me back. The fetish aspect of this craft, job, whatever you wanna call it, certainly can become too much, or too distracting.

So i kind of brushed it off. I am very honest with others and myself, but that's the only thing i truly kept private about my life.

Well, that's changed. Everything went in odd directions this year; Suffered some hefty medical bills and lost a couple family members. So, I decided to finally speak up with some very close friends and my girlfriend. And... i got the good ending.

I know life is short and at the same time nothing is guaranteed, but having a partner that respects and supports my work once i revealed her i'm into weight gain was... shocking.

It destroyed my irl status quo, and once i got my mind together, i asked her if she was into this. And, she doesn't mind. She admires the art, and the way this - and some of you - create a safe space for plus-size women. And man, some ladies do like to eat a lot. Thank god.

My gf agreed to gaining a couple pounds, and that's that.

I don't take anything for granted, i know this is both luck and me being finally honest with my reality.

SO, WHAT'S NEXT?

Bigger ladies, more animation.

I finally feel free to do as i please in this space again. Our space, fellow Candy supporters.

To make things quick, here are bullet points on some things i want to do more and improve:

Learn and master 500+ lbs anatomy.

More Weight Gain Drives.

More POV and Seductive drawings.

Even "Spicier" Loop Animations.

Lengthy animations with Voice.

More Comics. (Fantasy, Romance and Sci-Fi).

Develop a Drawing Guide Book.

Weekly streams at Discord.

As some of you know already (or can tell), i'm very ambitious. And i also eat more than i can chew sometimes. heh.

But now, since it's a longer time horizon, that's very promising to me.

I'm also gradually rolling out some changes to the Patreon experience. The Yearly Zip Files will be available in October for Patrons.

Moving forward, the Cookie Tier will only receive High Quality and Early Access to all the drawings that are next in line to be posted on Socials.

Holiday/Batch Specials access will move to the upper tier; the Sundae Tier.

I also took my time to analyze what you guys love, and what the top supporters prefer. You'll notice most of these changes by November. It's nothing "big" or "dramatic" when it comes to rewards, but it will be a lot more amusing overall.

The Progressive Commission Tier will start with 2 test slots in Late October. I'm going to test-drive the new system, and do note that Commissions will be my top service. Quick delivery, finally, and feedback. It won't be cheap, because while comms are fun, they drain me a lot.

If the system runs smoothly, i'll increase the slots starting 2027, because i do want you guys to get commissions while i can do them. I'll try to run them smoothly all the way through March 2027.

Check the 2026 Roadmap if you're curious on the current plans, too!

If you wish to support this huge ahh passion project, and receive a lot of goods, you're welcome to join whenever to test, suggest, vote and enjoy the growing community.

TBTW won't be my last comic or big project, i'm not done yet.

That's all for now. I'm gonna pick up pace now and try my best despite life getting in the way. My working hours have been healthier this year too, i want to keep that up.

And i can't wait for you all to see what's in store with the new Specials and stories i'm writting behind the scenes. I'll be reading you all here and on Discord.

Have a good day, and thank you for making the time and being patient with me. It means a lot.
