"I'm tired, boss" - An Important Update (Patreon)
Content
Hey Everyone.
This is an important update I am going to be doing after a lot of time thinking and reflecting.I am going to be changing up the monthly rewards a bit. For the longest time I have run this patreon, I have been spending most of it either in a state of hiatus or when working on the rewards it has led me to extreme burnout. I hate making excuses, but the truth of the matter is that I have spent the last few years addressing crises involving not only myself, but in regards to my family, along with the fact that I have been and continue to work a full nine to five job. My hope was and is that I earn enough doing work online to finally call it quits and do this full time, but using the current strategy that I have is going to lead to that. It is only going to burn me out and disappoint all of you. It is telling I have not had a single free hour to stop and recover in the last two months amidst all my other obligations.I have also seen how a lot of people have not been enthusiastic with the work I have produced. Having work exclusivized is simply not appealing to myself or most people and it makes me feel rotten that I can't regularly share what I've done to the world. There is also the fact I have been seeing people join, look at and download the work I have done and leave. That has been absolutely upsetting and soul destroying. Not even given the courtesy of a like or a comment. It is clear what I have been doing isn't working on any level.
First off: I am going to be sunsetting the Dungeons of Depravity series as well as the exclusive pieces. I will finish 7 Days Later Part 2 in the fullness of time, but once done Dungeons of Depravity are not going to be a monthly reward. If I do decide to do one it will be on my own time. I want to work on bigger longer-term projects like visual novels, artbooks or full comic issues, but these things exist outside the scope of being fully produced every month. I have to be able to do these things at my own pace. Of course, I will ensure that all of you, my supporters, gain early access to such material.
Henceforth: these are going to be the new reward tiers
$2 - Early Access Tier: Allows early access to all my illustrations and projects a month before their public release.
$5 - Basic Request Tier: Allowed to make a request for a lineart and greyscale image each month with a soft cap of 10 slots per month. Based on first-come first-serve, though those who made had a request the previous month are put in the back of the queue.
$10 - Advanced Request Tier: Allowed to make an additional request for a lineart and greyscale image with basic shading each month with a soft cap of 10 slots per month. Based on first-come first-serve, though those who made had a request the previous month are put in the back of the queue.
The reason I am continuing the request is that unlike the Dungeon of Depravity's or the exclusives, making them has not been a time sink or strain. In fact unlike the other rewards they have been a source of relief rather than stress, despite their higher priority as a reward.I am so sorry for my absence, my silence and my aloofness. I had been a fool, like all young people, assuming I could take on the world and do anything and everything, rather than simply playing to my strengths. But now I have a game plan, a strategy and a vision forward. Please keep an eye and ear out. There going to be some fantastic delights coming soon.
Lots of loveSexualYeti
