[Please vote!]About the current request section and management in the future
Added 2023-07-29 12:42:42 +0000 UTC
First of all, thanks to your supports, my life has become much more stable.
Thank you for all of this.
The reason why I'm writing this notice is...
The current method. Which is selecting 8~9 people from 15$ tier supporters
who submitted their requests, and drawing their requests in this quality.
And, at the end of the month, I drew other requests with this simpler quality.
The problem of this method is...
Some people keep getting their higher quality requests, while others miss out their chance.
Also, even there are requests which I got an idea for them, I had to push them back for those who never received once.
And, this is consuming more of my time and stamina than I expected,
and as a result, I'm getting tired more and more.
Even it's simpler quality for me, I tried my best to give requests as many as I can do,
which made me even more exhausted.
So I thought about it:
Wouldn't it be better to provide everyone with the same quality?
...As a quality between these two.
With many concerns and fatique, I want to ask you a question.
For heavy wraiths who submit requests and all patreons who enjoy those arts:
Which one is better for you? Please vote for a option you think is better.
*The result of vote will be applied in Augest.

I'm thankful for whatever quality I receive from you but I want what is best for your healthy and enjoyment too. Why not having a rotating system where 9-10 people can make a request for high quality and next month another 9-10 people get the opportunity. That way you avoid repetition, it's fair for everyone if you make the selection at random (Or by date of becoming a supporter, oldest to newest) and maybe easier to manage.

2023-07-30 15:01:01 +0000 UTCI would prefer not to create game/anime fanart on my Patreon due to past close calls with issues and witnessing some unpleasant incidents.

2023-07-29 18:01:08 +0000 UTCPersonally, I adore the quality of the sketches you do for 20 of the heavy wraith requests that didn't get full art at the end of the month. Even though it's not as "refined" as the full pieces, your style is so full of charm that each smaller piece is still worth as much to me as a full request! They are adorable and still very high quality in my opinion, so if it were to benefit your health and well-being, I wouldn't mind if you had to cut down on the amount of full-art requests you do per month since most people can receive a mini-art anyway! So in this case, I pick the first option, but you may consider only working on as many full-art pieces as your health allows, compensating with the smaller mini-art pieces at the end of the month if you had to reduce the total number of full-art pieces (which is completely ok if you only get 5-6 or less completed!) Another thing that might help is limiting the amount of heavy-wraith supporters that can subscribe to the tier at once. When you started the Patreon, I was very surprised to see that the tier did not have a limit, since most other Patreon pages with a "commission request tier" have a limit to how many people can pledge, so that the artists don't become overworked. You may want to consider doing the same thing? On a separate topic, do you think that you'll ever be comfortable doing fanart of game/anime characters on your Patreon? Many Patreon creators do several fat fanart pieces on their pages, but don't post them publicly (which works in their favor, because then only supporters who pay for fat art will see it and be able to comment on it). You always have the option to decline a request on the Heavy Wraiths post if you don't prefer a character suggestion, but maybe sometimes you'd get a request for a character that gives you a good idea on how to draw them? If you are still uncomfortable with drawing fanart, that's ok! I just wanted to ask again and voice my support for the idea. So far your Patreon has been one of the best pages I've been a part of. You are doing wonderfully, and the generosity and care that you show to your supporters is always clear. I hope to keep supporting you for as long as you keep making art here! Please keep your health in mind as you continue, we all want what's best for you ultimately!
