First post of 2020! This is the pic I based my new icon on, and for this one I wanted to do something more on the cute side again since those are my favorites lately (especially after "Ragequit"). And I also wanted to do something simple/easy so a portrait was the obvious choice.

I was very unsure on whether to have her fully naked or not, and she was almost until the very end but because halfway through I added the "headphones" (Im sure this would start another debate on how au ra would wear them) and I felt like she needed to be wearing something to go with them.

Not much else to say here, but I had something else I wanted to talk about, that Ive mentioned before. I keep getting requests about a way to get old stuff that doesnt involve browsing through the entire patreon history, and after some feedback, I decided to set up a Gumroad with yearly packs, so you can check it out here.

Those have pretty much everything I have saved in my pc up to 2018 (with the exception of private commissions), which means a bunch of stuff Ive never posted anywhere.

Of course I know what youre thinking - "What I already pay for the patreon and now I have to pay for Gumroad too? What a sellout!", so this is why I already set up discount codes at 50% and 100% (that means free), with the idea being that anyone who pledges to the 5$ tier will get the 50% code automatically (and Ill message it to all current patrons), and for long time patrons, it will be completely free. I havent actually decided on how long that should be, but I think 6 months is enough (so people who have been pledged from the start are waaay overqualified, lol).

Ive sent a message with the codes to all current patrons, just not sure how Im gonna keep track of new people hitting the 6 month mark every month, but Ill figure that out later.

I was almost tempted to just make Gumroad free for every patron regardless of time but then Gumroad would become pointless since everyone would just pledge, buy everything for free, and unpledge, lol. Plus I like the idea of rewarding long time supporters as Ive said before.

Anyway this is all new so Im still trying to figure out the best way to approach it.

Yeah its true, somehow most of the time see-through top makes it even sexier than fully naked (maybe because you want to undress her?) And of course as long as Im around youll never have a shortage of large areolae :P Ill never get tired of drawing them

Aaaaah yes, i will ALWAYS love when you draw you gorgeous cutie <3 That face she gives us...it melt my hearth, i love that glance. I love nude bodies you draw...but lets be honest ; when you suddenly put sexy/see-thought fabric over them, ooooof it increase the whole sex-appeal so much, ahah ! >:3 And always a real pleasure to partially imagine those big aerolas ;) Marvellous portrait, Sora ! Thank you a lot for the whole gumroad archive pack and wish you an happy new year mate ! May it be successful for you :)

"after realizing that ragequitting wasn't the most mature thing to do and that the boss wasn't as bad as she initially thought anyway lol." This sounds like a very familiar experience, and its fun having her react in similar ways to me, but being infinitely cuter of course And yeah I liked the hair in Ragequit too much so I wanted to keep it and make it the default from now on, although of course Ill still alternate it to keep it from getting boring/repetitive In this case I just used the headphones for aesthetic purposes because I like this kind of look, and I wont let horns stop me from doing it

Great art to start a new year with! Now that I think about it, last year's first art was Kei's debut. It certainly does not feel like it's been a year already. I really like that you're keeping that hairstyle. While others were good as well, this one just takes the cake for me. When you've mentioned "Ragequit" I couldn't help but imagine this scene happening soon after. Her facial expression showing the mild embarrassment (she has a hard time to fully admit it :] ) after realizing that ragequitting wasn't the most mature thing to do and that the boss wasn't as bad as she initially thought anyway lol. Of course this is just my imagination running wild and thinking about some context so don't mind me please. :] Also, good call with keeping her, somewhat, clothed. Character with missing garments might look ok, but a character fully naked with a single accessory? Not sure about that, but then, I might be wrong. As for the au ra headphones debate, I'm going to start it and end it at the same time: Bone conduction headphones! Have a great year everyone! ;]

It might be easier than I expected actually since I can sort patrons by lifetime earnings, so I just have to check who is at 5 months now, take a screenshot, and then message those people next month, etc (and I only have to do it once a month so yeah) For the 50% discount I found a way to automate it by using the welcome/thank you message for new patrons, lol so Ill never have to send any messages for that

Oooh this is great! I love her shy expression and her body language. The colours are really nice too, I love her blush and freckles a ton. Thanks for the Gumroad as well! Hopefully this system doesn't become too much of a hassle. Happy New Year!

Nice, when I noticed the updated avatar I was like oh boi can't wait for the full one. She does have that cute expression just like in ragequit. I can see why you would go for ones like this. I think see through top fits with the headphones in this setting and for this look so good decision BUT... I always wonder indeed how would an Au Ra wear those headphones. Overall while its kinda simple I really do like this one too of your Au Ra, she looks quite cute n all. Also her being one of my favs is a small BIAS too but eh. Oh and those headphones look a bit like ear warmers too except that Au Ra don't really have ears like that but who cares. As for the gumroad thing, well not bad decision but indeed its going to be a pain to see who pledged over 6 months for full discount. But hey at least people who have less than 6 months get 50% so some people don't just pledge and get it for free and go away like you said. That said, I too wonder how other creators deal with it. Also thanks patreon, not sure how big the original is but this enhanced CSI edition is 33mb.
