Request Update (Patreon)

1. This Month’s Requests

I wasn’t able to finish the request today!

because I’ve run out of the line work I prepared in advance and need time to prepare more.

About half of this month’s requests are complete. The remaining requests will carry over into early next month.

2. Why I’m Considering a Change

As my work has become more detailed and higher in quality, each piece now takes one to two days to complete.

Over time, I’ve changed the request rules several times before settling on the current first-come, first-served system. However, even this system has its limits...

Due to health and time constraints, some supporters have gone nearly a year without receiving a request, while others have missed their chance to sign up. That’s why I feel the rules need to change once again!!

3. Doodle Requests

Of course, I think it’s only natural for my artwork to improve over time and for me to provide better work for my supporters.

However, as the quality of my drawings has increased, each piece has taken more time to complete, and I’ve often struggled with time constraints and health issues.

At the same time, more and more supporters have been missing out on requests.

Quite a few of you have also told me that you’d be happy to receive a request even if it were just a Doodle.

That’s why I’m considering switching to my usual, simpler Doodle style. This would allow more Heavy Wraith supporters to submit requests without having to rush to sign up, while making the workload more manageable for me.

This would mean:

No coloring

Simple backgrounds

Simpler line work

Reduced drawing time to accommodate more requests

No first-come, first-served slots

I don’t plan to add a higher tier or raise the price to maintain the current quality, as doing so would put more pressure on both me and my supporters.

I’ve tried this approach before, but my drawings gradually became more detailed again over time. That could happen again, but I think it’s worth giving this approach another try.

Here are some examples comparing the two styles.

4. Heavy Wraith Tier Limit

If we switch to Doodle requests, the Heavy Wraith tier will open every other month and remain open until the 4th week of that month, with a maximum of 64 members.

There are currently 61 members, so only about 3 spots remain.

That means around 64 drawings a month. I think I can manage that with the Doodle style! Of course, I’ll have to try it and see...

5. What Do You Think?

This month’s requests will proceed as usual.

All Heavy Wraith supporters can submit requests, up to a maximum of 64 members

📌 Additional Note

Even if we switch to Doodle requests, anyone who has been waiting nearly a year without receiving a request will still receive a full-color drawing at the current quality.

Even with the Doodle style, I may occasionally add more detail if I get particularly interested in a request’s subject. I can’t promise that won’t happen!This is because I often find myself unintentionally increasing the quality of my work as I draw.

This post was translated with the help of AI. I’ve done my best to preserve the original meaning, but there may still be some awkward phrasing or translation errors. Thank you for your understanding.

I know some of you have been waiting a long time, and I’d like to give more people a chance to receive a request.

Of course, I understand that some of you may prefer the higher-quality artwork.

Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference.Would you prefer to see high-quality artwork, or to see a lot more Doodle drawings?

Which option would you prefer?
