Hello! I have decided to make big changes to my Patreon tiers and how I distribute my rewards. I will list the new tiers below, and for those who would like more details I'll write a bit more about all of it below :)
---------------------------------TIER 1: $5
- Get early access to
NSFW Animations
NSFW Illustrations
L2D animations of NSFW illustrations (when available, coming soon)
- Access to all my NSFW animations- Access to WIPs- Access to Discord community
TIER 2: $10
- All previous tier rewards- Access to alternative versions of my works when available- Access to an archive of all my previous illustrations and their variants- Access to PSD files for recent illustrations, some CSP files for animations- Access to character polls
TIER 3: $20
A HUGE thank you if you decide to pick this tier, you are a real legend!
- All previous tier rewards- SPECIAL access to the "sneak peek channel" on Discord (more WIPs and you see the animations a couple of days before everyone else as a thank you~)
---------------------------------
Let's talk about the rewards
As you can see, this changes the structure of this page a lot. My main goal was to make my content more accessible. I enjoy sharing my work with as many people as possible so lowering the price by half for my main content (which are animations and illustrations) is one of the best ways to achieve that I think
How does early access differ from exclusive access ?
Our old system was exclusive access. Parts of my work were completely sealed behind the Patreon paywall and that's what you had access to if you pledged. In theory... because the truth is, after a couple of months, my content gets leaked and pirated and it's no longer really exclusive. So I've decided to opt for another type of reward which a lot of animators do: early access.
How does it work?
The way it works is simple. When a project is done, I post it for you guys on Patreon, exclusively. I also post a small teaser of said project publicly.Once I complete the next project, I post this new one for you guys on Patreon, and I release the first project to the public
This means you will always get access to a project in exclusivity. And instead of pretending my content isn't shared publicly by leakers, I post my full projects myself
This has several benefits:
First of all, this means I will feel more free to create the projects the way I want them to be because I won't have to think and worry about what should be exclusive or not. This is a HUGE creative weight off my shoulders
Second of all, showing the full animations could help me get more support to create more cool projects for you guys!
Third of all, people will stop profiting for my work in my own place LOL (or at least a little bit less 🫠)
What I love the most is creating long projects, and our recent survey showed this is also what you guys prefer. However this comes with great risks because if a project flops, this is months and months of work that go down the drain. So I'm trying to find a more stable (and hopefully profitable) way to continue creating what I love 🥰
PS: I separate illustrations and animations for this. This means an animation becomes public only when another animation is completed. And an illustration becomes public only when another illustration is completed.
Additional perks (variants, polls, PSD files, etc...)
I have decided to include these rewards in higher tiers. This is my way of showing appreciation for the additonal financial efforts you're doing to support my work. This doesn't mean I will never post variants or polls in Tier 1 but the majority of them will be in Tier 2 and Tier 3
Sneak peek channel for Tier 3
In this channel, I will be posting the finished animation projects a day or two earlier than on Patreon
I will also post more WIPs and more often. I actually save a lot of different steps of my process but don't show everything here to avoid spamming too much. In this channel you will be able to follow my creation process more closely, which I think is really fun!
Considering this tier is very expensive, I assume those of you who decide to pledge to it are really big fans of my work so I thought these two rewards would be greatly appreciated! :D
This channel will be on the Discord server so I strongly advice you to link your Discord account to your Patreon account to be able to join the server
PSD files and CSP files for Tier 2
I will start sharing PSD files for the illustrations I will be making from now on. I won't share the PSD for all the past artworks because that's an insane amount of storage and I really doubt more than 10 people would go dig them all up 😅
As for animations CSP files, I won't share all of them, maybe one or two per projects. Keep in mind you need CSP EX to open the files so this is mostly destined to people who wish to study my anims and see how I structure my layers
Final words
If you read this far, congrats xD I hope it wasn't boring!
I want to thank you again for the support over the years. It's been so amazing. These changes are a major step for me, and it's a very scary one. This could turn out to be a very bad decision but for now I will try to keep a positive mindset and I will assess the situation in a few months
I really hope the new reward system will please everyone. Overall I tried to make it so no one is losing out with this. I feel like these tiers are a lot more in your favor and make my content a lot easier to access
If you have questions, of course feel free to ask them down below or in DMs~
Thank you again everyone, I hope to see you around! LET'S DRAW MORE THICK WAIFUS! 😁
