February Update - 15/02/2020 + Livestream Announcement (Patreon)

Okie doe, I want to make a monthly thing, and I did so last month, so I'm making this month's one today! :3
Just a few important things to share with you guys...

Tarri's Day / Tarri's Day Adventures Comics

You might have noticed the increase of Tarri's Day Adventures comics being released from twice a month to twice a week. This is in part due to me wanting to increase the releases to three times a month, but then went into a comic creation frenzy and pumped out three full pages in a week. Rather than spread them out over one and a half months, I decided to share the bountiful yield with everyone, as I still plan to make another TDA page this month. xD

On the other side of the coin, there will be no Tarri's Day comic strip this Monday, but they will continue as normal the following Monday.
In addition, I have decided to go with a three-strip per month schedule again. If anything happens which prevents a release of a comic strip, however, I will announce it.

If things go well for TDA, I may be able to increase releases on a permanent basis - the current frequency of releases for TDA are, at this time, deemed as temporary until further notice.

Rewards - Art Elections

I am thinking of simplifying the Art Elections perk starting from next month. The idea behind having you guys vote, and then make suggestions for the next round of voting was my idea of essentially getting you guys to contribute as much as possible into building an art piece.
It is, in my opinion, an amazing idea in theory, but in practice it puts a reliance on you guys, when perhaps all you want to do is have a simple vote.
I noticed the decline in next-round suggestions over the past number of months, and was planning to address this last month - got sick, fell behind, so it never happened.
Next month I am considering just providing all the options, rather than relying on you guys to suggest them.
The rounds will essentially be the same, only with you guys voting on the options presented, and that's it.

If you guys have any thoughts on the Art Elections process, or have ideas which you might think would be great for it, let me know. :3

Nude Art

I am going to put some of the nude art I have done into storage on DeviantArt.
Specifically, they will be focused on any nude art containing children. I will not be storing all of them, but rather, a select number based on the pieces themselves.
I have noted previously how there is a very noticeable offset in terms of the age spectrum when it comes to the nude art within my gallery, and while there isn't anything inherently wrong there, it does "paint the impression" of the wrong idea.

These pieces will include commissions, and will likely be more focused on non-dynamic art (such as "standing for the camera" poses).
You guys are free to interject or make your thoughts heard, whether publicly or privately with me. :3

Posting of  Nude Commissions

In addition to the above, I am going to implement the level where posting of nude commissions will occur with the permission of the commissioner, as some of you might want to keep art you might pay me to do to yourself, and not be publicly announced to the world.
In addition, I will be going be a case-by-case basis on certain commissions in order to create a balance in ages when it comes to the portrayal of nudity in art.
In both cases, I will raise these with the commissioners in question as a final step as part of the commission process. :3

Oh yeah... Commission Prices!

I plan to raise commission prices in the near future. I have not settled on by how much, or which elements of commissions will increase in price - there will be some parts of commissions which will remain the same price as they are now.

I will update information concerning this in the future, along with a date in which the changes will take place (it may be a few months).
For now, and until that currently unannounced date, all commission prices will remain the same.
And any agreed upon commissions made before then will also be with the current prices.

As a friendly reminder, commissions are currently closed, with two left on the list to complete. :3

Aaaand... I think that is all for now.
I will be announcing the Art Elections winner shortly, as well as posting another poll in order to gauge your thoughts on the comics. :3
