I've removed the $10 Tier from my patreon, as I've come to realize that I'm spending a lot more time working on these renders than I have been working on my animations, due to most of the renders requiring me to find and edit new models and scenes for a single render, which most of the time don't get re-used in later renders or animations. 

The current requests for April are still valid and I will start and finish them, and I will offer refunds for 10$ pledges in May if you're unable to edit your pledge in time before your payment gets processed. 

I liked working on these renders, but the time I had to spend on them coupled with the monthly deadline while also attempting to work on other animation content I believe is over-all harming my production speeds. That, and my prices for render commissions have increased as well, which adds inconsistency to everything. 

I think it's better to remove the monthly render for $10 and handle them normally as commissions now, which leaves nothing to have in $10 tier, so it is best to remove it I believe.

Well poop. But now that I think about it, what are your prices for commissions?

rochestedorm

A bit higher than the $10 thing. For animations, its $10 a second (minimum $30), and for renders it varies a bit, used to be $10 (hence the tier), but now probably around $20, $15 if its really simple (re-using models and scenes and such)

Can't really argue if it means we get to see more animations. I miss seeing them :)

rochestedorm

It doesn't help too that I got scammed on a long aqua commission as well, that I'm still tumbling around in my head about what to do with '

Linkle

Aww man, sucks someone had to be scummy like that. Perhaps you can just release what you've done thus far? If it's even at a level that can be rendered into something legible... Since they didn't honor their side of the agreement I suppose you don't have to honor it being private, assuming that it was such a commision. ;)

It was pretty decently along, the issue is that was a triple-digit priced commission and I've got concerns about the "client" getting the MP4 of what should have been hundreds of dollars of works for a mere $1, its a brain wracking issue

Linkle

Well, I think it's best you just halt all production until you can be certain that you'll be receiving that money. Since you haven't been paid it's not like you're honored to, let alone are obliged to finish it or anything. The last thing you want to do is just hand it over without receiving any form of confirmation of a payment. :/

So how do i start a comm line with you? I need my Tieve fix bro.

I agree completely. Tieve has been missing in action for too long. Not to mention thta with the removal of the $10-Tier, maybe there is some little free time each month now to finally start working on "End of Tieve"? (Yes, I know I am obnoxious. Sorry, Roche. ;-) )

Would like to do a couple commissions at least.

is there a reason you dont do animated cumflation? only stills? just curious.

rochestedorm

Fluidsim with animated collission is an absolute nightmare to get working in Blender, especially 2.8. I did it with the third Handler animation that you can find on my twitter/discord/subscribestar, and while i think it's "good enough" for people in the middle of fapping, it's very glitchy and hard to work with

Bronzeborg

yeh im trying to do what you do with lattices and i cant make THAT work. id pay money for tutorials :P
