Hello, everyone! How are you all doing?
Here are the characters I'll be working on next month: Gawr Gura (Casual Outfit) from Hololive and Creator Asagi from Disgaea!
I'll also do a model swap with Alice3dart! She's an incredible artist who just started her own patreon and when I saw her Okarun I knew I had to bring him to all of you. She'll be hosting my Momo on her Patreon in January in exchange!
By the way, remember when I mentioned some changes I'm planning for my patreon in 2025? Well, here we go!
First of all, I'd like to thank you all for the amazing support you've given me so far. Without it, I wouldn't be able to plan even half of the things I have in mind for next year. You're incredible. <3
Now, onto the changes (starting February 2025):
Monthly Suggestions (like we're all used to):
While I love the idea of having the freedom to pick characters without voting, in the long run it can be problematic. Some characters end up forgotten and suggestions might sit there for too long without being considered. So, from now on, all community suggestions will be monthly. Every month, I'll create a discord channel (exclusively for patrons) where you can suggest and vote for characters. The top 10 suggestions will go into a poll to be voted on. Some rules will be set to avoid falling into the rabbit hole of "only creating characters from a single franchise over and over again"
R18 Releases:
Members of Irasshai tier will get to decide which character gets an R18 version. Once the characters are chosen, a poll will be held in the discord channel (exclusive to members of this tier) to decide who gets the ~ spicy treatment ~
Pre-Supported Models:
Starting with these characters for January, I'm planning to offer all releases with pre-supports, this time done by a professional. This change took a while because it's not something I can do without sufficient funds, so I just hope I can keep affording someone for the long run, of course. Especially because I know how frustrating it is to want to print something, but the model doesn't come pre-supported. I'll still define a schedule for releasing models with pre-supported versions, so more news on that next month!
Bonus Models:
I'd love to start bringing you some bonus models. This won't be a monthly change right away. For now, I'm considering creating chibi models (they're super fun and relatively quick to make) and continuing the model swaps I've recently started. I also want to bring models from other artists, whether through collaborations or commissioning other creators. There are lots of possibilities in this one here ~ :)
I plan to introduce more changes over time, but these are the ones I'm most excited about for now, and I think both my page and you guys might be in dire need of them.
By the way, Astolfo will be released tomorrow, and Lucy on the 31st!
Thank you so much for your support so far. <3
