Expectations for 2025
9 months ago
2024 has been a busy year for me, as you can see, I have made significant progress in 2D animation. Although I am almost exhausted every day from making animations,But when I see comments and attention that everyone likes, it's also worth it.
Of course, I won't stop here. I still have long-term goals and aspirations to achieve, and I will try harder to make progress in animation in 2025.
There is another thing I have been considering for a long time, and those who are familiar with me may know that I am not a full-time artist and have a major job. As I try to add more and more things to the animation, my schedule has become almost entirely focused on work, which puts a lot of pressure on both my body and mind.
So I'm considering maybe a place like Patreon. Perhaps I can have some additional income to alleviate my financial and life pressures. Of course, if your support is sufficient, I would also consider becoming a full-time artist. I won't make the sponsorship process particularly complicated. With a minimum sponsorship of a few dollars, you can browse all of my works. Another benefit is that I don't have to compress the video resolution every time to fit some websites, such as the file size limit of Catbox and e621. Supporters can directly obtain a high-definition animated video file.
Of course, the matter regarding Patreon won't come too soon. I still have some things to deal with, which could be around the middle of this year at the earliest.
I still have some crazy new ideas to try, but I don't want to reveal too much. Currently, I just want to list out the arrangements I have already confirmed for this year.
February: Mainly for rest, there may be a short animation.
March to April: Commission Month. I received 2 commissions last year that I haven't processed yet.
May and June: Try some new works and start my Patreon.
Additionally, I would like to clarify one point: Please don't be angry because my animations will need to be paid for in the future. You have already seen the fruits of all my efforts in 2024 for free, and I believe a few dollars is not an astronomical number. I don't have unlimited energy and time, and the endless work every day almost overwhelms me. My recent work hasn't been smooth, and if I need to give up art to focus on earning a living, maybe this place won't be updated. So if you like my works, a little support is good for both of us. Of course, if Patreon's income is enough for me to become a full-time artist, everyone will have more animations to watch, and perhaps there will be some voting functions at that time to give you the opportunity to choose your favorite character as the protagonist of the animation!
Finally, let's bid farewell to the the Year of the Loong and welcome the new Year of the Snake!

About Patreon. Would the only perk be Early Access + HD Animations? Or would all your art from that point onward be Patreon-exclusive?

OP
I think it should be the latter,most people do not pay for early access. However, there will still be a public version of the short teaser animation to tell you about the protagonist and theme of this month's animation.
