Unusual posting time today because my sleep has been completely messed up and I probably wont be awake at the usual hour.

So I was looking through old pics to see which I havent posted before that I thought people would enjoy seeing, and this one jumped out at me. It was one of the few couple pics I did last year, and while technically Im not happy with it, I feel like it still has that super romantic and soft look all my couple pics have, so it was definitely worth posting.

I actually dont remember who the characters are since its been so long but they were both original characters so it doesnt really matter.

You can probably guess which of the two girls I prefer, lol. When I saw her I was like "ok, Ill do it", I just cant resist that look with the pale skin and white hair and all that. I think the other girl is loosely based on Hex Maniac from Pokemon, but thats about it, its still an original character as I said.

I also had something I wanted to ask, because Ive had a few people saying they would like an easier way to have access to old pics so they dont have to go through all the patreon posts and downloading everything individually... so Ive uploaded all of my pics into a google gallery that I usually use as back up anyway, but this time I made public albums that I can share with a link so they can be viewed by anyone, and I sorted them by year (to avoid them being gigantic).

The problem is I dont know how to go about actually sharing them, since obviously Im not just going to dump a bunch of links every post, so I thought maybe I could post one gallery at the start of every month and rotate them. I also thought I could do a "long term patron reward" thing (like the FFXIV Veteran rewards used to work) and give people access only if they have been pledged for a certain amount of time, just to avoid people pledging, downloading everything, and then unpledging. Plus it feels good to reward people who have been supporting me for a while in some way.

Anyway, I dont wanna do anything without knowing what people think, so Id appreciate any feedback.

Amazing picture. Yuri really isn't my thing but I am all about the art and the style. It is very intimate and romantic, which I love regardless of the pairing. As for sharing, I would assume that mayhaps some of the older stuff be released say maybe one extra per month to avoid a mass DL and jump. Though I honestly wouldn't mind seeing your work, I've been following you a while on FA and finally have the ability to be a patron. So getting to see your artwork and to finally support you and your art has been my main pleasure.

By month it would be way too many since they go all the way back to 2013, I think by year is best Also, there are a lot of things I havent posted on patreon, either because people never requested them or stuff like this post that I just never posted anywhere, so even for people who have been around a long time there would be stuff youve never seen

Super cute! I love your couples pics, I really like the dynamic between these two. If you want to share old posts, you could try organizing them by month and posting .zip files. A lot of other artists share pics that way. I probably have everything from Patreon saved already so it doesn't make much of a difference for me personally :P

I love having characters making eye contact because its when youre the most vulnerable, so it really puts emphasis on the romantic aspect and how much they are into each other... Then of course, the pose and how they interact also adds to it, but thats also the hardest part and why I rarely do couples And well, Im sure youll get bored of my art at some point since we all get bored of the things we like after a while, but thats fine, Ill appreciate the support no matter how long it lasts

You had this and didn't post this? ..... haha anyway. I quite like this couple pic. Their whole body language and how they look at each other is quite romantic and telling of how much both of them care and you can feel the love and a bit of lust if the hand positions are to say anything. I also do like their overall looks and design, but my fav is the pale skinned one and also her see through top is really nice. This is rather well done even tho you might not like it as much. Oh and is that hair or ears on her? Interesting, kinda like it tho. I too like the idea of the whole patrons rewards in a way that people can't just pledge, get the art and get the fluff out. Something like FFXIV veteran rewards lol like others said. But not sure if patreon lets you do that. I also do want all that sweet art so however it ends up being, its free art for me LOL cause I aint stopping my patreon support anytime soon, likely for as long as you do art and have patreon.

I am not a fan of Gumroad, to be honest. I don't have enough money to spent in previous month arts and I couldn't get all his works if he makes a Gumroad account and monetizes his old works. I prefer the idea of the Veteran Reward 😁

I love the body language in this one! You can feel the love between them and anticipate the moves they are going to do next, like the tease before the romantic kiss and the caressing of their bodies. I also like that both are watching each other so directly. It is that kind of look that goes all the way through your soul and tells you how much that person loves you. As for the Gallery I am agree with the idea of making it like a Veteran Reward, though I am not sure if I have been long enough pledging to receive it. But aside of that, I want you to know that I supported you, I am still doing it and I will support you forever because your art is truly unique and you deserve all the support you can get! ❤️

Lots of authors use gumroad and send out discount links to patreon. So you could put them on gumroad based on year or month and then send out discount links to patreons.

Yep thats how I feel too, although Id have to find a way to keep track of how long everyone has been pledged... I can sort patrons by lifetime earnings so I guess thats the closest thing, but there are a lot of people to go through already

First of all, great picture. I always love pics with two (ore even more) girls ^^ About the sharing of the galleries thing. I personally don't like it when something like that allows people to join for a month, download everything and then leave. So I'm quite a fan of the long term reward idea. Also as you already mentioned the old FF14 Veteran rewards: it would be quite fitting since you do mostly FF14 stuff :D
