Commissions and Patreon OCT 2022
3 years ago
I'm going to start doing monthly posts about commissions and Patreon that will be half status update and half call-to-action.
Drawing is my career and only source of income. I rely entirely on money from commissions and Patreon pledges to pay my bills. If you have any money to spare, it would mean a lot to me if you would join my Patreon. Every little bit helps. I can always use more financial support.
Anyone reading this probably knows by now that I draw giant/tiny, adultbabydiaperlover, and age regression artwork, but I dabble in all sorts of subjects and mediums. I draw cute monster girls (and boys), BBW/weight gain, anthro, transformation, sissy, and a number of other topics. In addition to illustrations, I sometimes draw comics strips and sequences, animate short gifs, write stories, or even do game design. I am proud of the quality of my artwork, and I'm working hard every day to improve.
I mentioned several years ago that I'd gotten carpal tunnel. I haven't said much about it since there wasn't much to say. I've wrestled with the same pain flareups and soreness and gone through regular periods of feeling helpless, but recently things have improved slightly for me. I'm excercising carefully and have found a comfortable work schedule. It's been a while since I've had any pain flareups. I still can't possibly adhere to the kinds of 50+ hour workweeks that proffessional artists are sometimes forced into, but I'm catching up on my Patreon backlog, and have gotten my commissions down to a manageable amount.
I would like to gain 5 new patrons and 3 commissions by the end of October. More would be better, but I'm going to lower my expectations until I see what the results of these posts are. If you don't have any money to spare, there are other ways you can support me. You can get the word out, by sharing my artwork with people you think will be interested in it, and by linking them to my Patreon and to my various galleries (which I'll link to at the end). Comments and likes would mean a lot to me, too.
Now I'll talk a little bit about the rpg I've been working on for 3 years: Honey Scales and the Giant Nursury. Progress has been slow, but most of the game is finished at this point. The next demo I release will contain about 75% of what will be in the finished version. Currently planned for the demo: a new playable character, new transformation themed status effects with matching sprites and character portraits, several new enemy and boss encounters, two new areas, and improvements to previous areas. I'm setting October 31 as the final deadline for submitting art to be featured on the fridge in-game, and for having your name listed as a backer.
I'm changing the early access period for Patreon artwork from 1 month to 2 months. This is to incentivise people to join my Patreon.
I've changed how I bill patrons, so now you won't be charged until one full month after you subscribe, even if your first payment was at the end of the month.
Thank you for taking the time to read all of this, and thank you to anyone who's already supporting me!
