Artist Log: Structure for Pinups (Patreon)

NOTE: Changing any mention of tier to “level” so people don’t get confused and think there’s new tiers.

Thinking about pinups lately and the process of choosing them, since this month’s selections took a while.

So I’m thinking about having the monthly 3 pinups in a “level” system. For example: Level 1 being a simple 1 character focused body pic (with potential outfit/character swaps), Level 2 being a more sex-focused pic (maybe with a cum version), and Level 3 being a mini comic page (think recent RWBY parts or the Carmen and Kelsie Redraws).

I’ve recently been making most pinups closer to a mini comic page (which take a lot more time and planning) out of fear of disappointing ppl. But I remembered some of my most popular pics were relatively simple ones. Take my Kanker Sisters pic; they’re not doing anything but posing and being thick. Or my Highschool of the Dead pic which is just the cast showing breasts.

Another reason I thought about this change is because I’d be a lot more willing to do Patrons’ niche requests or requests I’m not super invested in if I didn’t have to think of some elaborate story or context for a pinup. You want this Star Wars girl I don’t really know? Ok fine I can just draw her thick af front and back with maybe an outfit change (level 1 in the example) or just draw her in doggystyle with some anon with no deep lore needed (level 2 in the example). Instead of having to feel some personal investment (the main reason a popular request might not get chosen). In the end I want whatever you guys really vote for the be what gets drawn.

So lemme know what you think. This isn’t concrete, and there will be months I’ve got a lot of motivation and all three pinups are super complex. I just didn’t want it to get where a pic becomes disappointing because it’s not a multi-pose comic page.
