Giving more value to Patreon and my Work

Good morning everyone. I will be streaming later today but before I do I have some announcements to make

I've been doing this for a while now, and three days ago I hit my 10th anniversary with admittedly not a lot to show for it. I will confess to having one long term desire for this business, for patreon: That I would produce high-quality creator-driven work that would be accessible and affordable, in exchange for a modest support sum.

That sum is $1.

I had expected that as everything grew and evolved, gaining more followers this would become more secure and consistent. When that didn't happen, and I found myself leaning on a very small but very supportive core group, I spread myself out to make up the difference with multiple streams of revenue and reaching out to new audiences. I don't regret it, the new experiences have helped a lot in many ways. Just not in the one way I was hoping for. Splitting myself in two is pretty exhausting.

My reasoning things didn't work out as planned is because of how people have not subtly hinted at over time, is that I heavily devalue my time and my work. It took me a while to get to a price range I'm fairly satisfied with, but that is not the issue. The issue was me and my "No paywalls, just benefits mindset."

Generous to a fault. I put my work everywhere I could and offered as many high value incentives as I could to make your experience and support worth it.

Logically, it was sound or so I thought; Reality however has a cloud cuckoolander sense of humor.

But enough preamble, lets get to the point already. 

We're closing the doors on openness and accessibility. My completed work, whatever it may be will ONLY be accessible here on this discord server and Patreon. Only sketches and cropped thumbnails will be posted to social media including FA.

 Streams will be permanently made private. I was already experimenting with it before and I've decided to commit.

I will no longer be offering my commission services to anyone who is not a Patreon Pledge. 

On a less door-slammy note, your Patreon pledges at the $5 and up levels can now be applied to sponsorships. This will not affect current patreon reward offerings for the top-tiers, you will still get your monthlies. 

The $25 and up tiers can now direct the production of future sponsorship items via polling, selecting from a collection of curated series so for those who liked the Goof Troop stuff and wanted to see more of it, you can. Or perhaps Pokemon, Digimon, Final Fantasy, One Piece, what have you.

and I heard you people, I promise to make a greater effort to draw more of my OCs, expect the return of Aubrey, Jess, Nova, Regina, Lara, Boochuu and more.

and I know for a very small handful of people would appreciate this, I've been more introspective lately about the direction of my work and I find myself wanting more intimacy, eroticism, as well as more fun and wholesome work to contrast all the hardcore stuff I've spent my time doing the past 10 years. So more Softcore and SFW stuff.

I think you can only draw so many in your face tiddies and ass and dicks before it gets boring, so it wouldn't hurt to mix it up just a little just so people can have some palette cleansers.

Let me hear your thoughts if you have them, please and thank you.
