2018 Early Plans! And Free HD Art Pack Input?
7 years ago
(Meant to do this earlier but the flu hit after New Years festives and am just now recovering from the worst of it. Take yer flu shots!)
Firstly at all commissioners and peeps, thank ya all so much for your understanding and patience. Stuff gathered really fast near the end of 2017 and knocked me down a notch, but am bouncing back and I super appreciate the continued support from ya all. There’s only a handful left now and I’ll be finishing ‘em up by this month!
In the meanwhile, figure it’d be good to post a thingy for 2018, ‘least for myself to keep track of my thoughts going into this year and posting it out there for peeps to know if curious.
ON 2018 PLANS
My biggest goal for this year is getting on personal arts. I’ve had personal projects and all in mind for years and even a short comic one that’s been in the works for most of 2017 that I’ve still yet to finish up. First thing is to finish that up, which fortunately it’s about 80% done.
My biggest obstacle is that getting personal arts done is tricky when I have commissions in queue. So far it’s always started with opening comms, holding off on non-commission stuffs ‘til I finish queue, getting more inquiries before then, and slowly feel more and more drained until I stall out. It’s happened too many times already to not learn a lesson from such, and this year’s gon be working that out.
I def still wanna be doing commissions though! It’s been such a joy drawing for so many of you lovelies and I certainly wanna be able to do so again, though aiming to be able to do it better than before and while avoiding burn out from it too.
On future commissions, this year I’ll be changing up how I do ‘em a tad bit again that oughta work better this go-around; all of that will come later in the year. For now though, I’ll be delaying the next time I open full comms from Jan to later on, undetermined date. However, in-stream commissions have been on the mind, and with a slightly tweaked sketching style, I’m interested in seeing how they’ll turn out! That’ll be happening sooner, around Feb.
There’s certainly more in mind for 2018, but the most of it is gonna develop after these initial ones are done. On that though...
ART PACK
Have been thinking about releasing a full-res art pack of the majority of art I made in 2017, and possibly a few earlier pics too. Main thing I’d put in it is commission stuffs that isn’t private and most personal stuffs I’ve done, along with a few sketches and idea doodles.
Would likely organize it by individual accounts first, then respective kinks after (which might get tricky with pics involving multiple kinks, but right now am thinking of categorizing by the most prominent kink).
One thing I know for sure, I certainly wanna make it free! I’ve been thinking of having a tip jar setup for it if anything, though I dunno how quite to set such up, especially for NSFW arts. Right now am thinking of hosting on either Drive, Dropbox, or mega.nz with a nearby link to Paypal.me if peeps wish to pitch in a bit, but if there’s any other setups that can work better, am totes open to hear ‘em!
I thought about doing so with my main art files too, though since they can range from 30-300 MB per file, it’d be a huge collection on its own (my current drawing folder is around 10 GBs and that’s after archiving a buncha stuffs mid-2017.)
Even then, I don’t think I’ve heard much interest in art files specifically (think I’ve been asked 1-2 times about it this year for example). But I’m down for sending individual ones if other artists wish to know how I do the technical stuffs for a pic!
In short:
- Finishing up 2017 comms by end of Jan.
- Focusing on personal art more, healthier art habits for 2018.
- In-stream sketch commissions coming Feb.
- Changing how comms work a bit; full comms coming after Feb.
- Figuring out how to release HD art pack soon, wanna hear your thoughts!

I wouldn't know much about art files and the such. I get them on patreon sometimes and I'm very eh on them to be honest.
