About commissions and Patreon
7 years ago
Heyooo
I'll try to make this sweet and short for once XD.
I'm closing commissions after the last one I have in queue until further notice, I want to try concentrating on my patreon now that I started doing comics, making sure I can abid to my "one page per week" standard alongside the other rewards and polls.
With that said, I have updated my patreon. I have started making comics starting with a Teemo and Gnar one which right now is in page 1 =w=. I'll be releasing these comics page by page everywhere else 2 months after they are uploaded on Patreon.
If you'd like to support me AND get to see these pieces, I'd love to have you at my Patreon <3. Just a buck is enough to have full access to my gallery and the comic x3. I also upload there some sketches I haven't released here and if you support me with $5 or more, you also get to vote on pairings each month o3o.
I'm trying to be more productive art wise and more proactive, hence why I'm starting these projects~. Be sure to check me out at https://www.patreon.com/Vitrex
Thank you all for your time and have a good char day <3

I also really hate it when artists put content behind a paywall. I hope to eventually see the comics on FA though. ;w;
Also I agree, paywalls are annoying and shouldn't be a thing, but honestly as an artist that is trying to make a living out of art instead of going for an irl job which would take all my drawing time away completely, patreon is a really huuuge tool.
My patreon has done pretty badly though, my politic of "everything available for everyone" has made it so not many people -at all- want to support me, not even for a buck XD. If I want to be able to afford good living conditions I need to up my game and do some exclusivity, some incentive to get that one buck per person at least ;w;. That said the comic will still come out of patreon eventually as I said before, so it's not thaaaat bad.
I also can't live of commissions, so I depend on Patreon. With my low commission price I would need to have like 15-20 people commissioning me per month consistently to be able to afford good living conditions. For one commissions are not as straight forward because they depend on customer input before I give them the finish, there are also changes here and there that consume more of my time, considering a month has 30 days, even if I was getting 20 people commissioning me per month, I wouldn't be able to finish everything in that month....and then next month starts with another 20.
That's why I need the generousity from people to make my Patreon work x3;. More patrons means more char char artwork to go around <3
Well I checked and it seems the comic is NSFW anyway and I'm not really a fan of genitals, so... ^w^; Butt I guess that means no content from you at all for a while over here then. ;w; And while I do get your point, whenever someone puts their conten behind a paywall, it actually makes me feel less motivated to support them. Previews I can understand, but still...
Yeah, personally, if I were to do commissions, they'd just be a side thing next to my job once I get a job. But I get your point. :3
I'm not saying you shouldn't do Patreon or anything. No no, don't let me stop you. I'm just feeling a little bummed due to my terrible timing. XD But when commissions open up again, we'll hear about that, right? :3
I am going to post the other stuff here as usual, but comics will be withheld for the start (Along other projects I'm thinking about on making x3). Also I understand that sometimes hearing about a paywall is a deterrent, but I have had my patreon for a year now and my sub count is minimalistic, considering that I was not withholding any content XD. So that approach didn't work for me. I guess my art in general isn't very appreciated XD;;;
Also I am a chef, when I had a job over here it was using all my time, 8 hours (If lucky) to sleep, 10 hours to work (And travel to/from work) and then the rest of the time is resting from the horrible shifts and cooking lunch and dinner at home (And sometimes spending an hour or so going to buy groceries). That all also includes that I had 2 shifts per day, since chefs a lot of the times work lunch and dinner shifts, also that's 6 days a week X'D.
Basically, if I had a job, I wouldn't be able to do commissions at all, or art in general. Pretty much how it happened already last time I had a job.
I love art and I want to draw for a living, but if I don't get support from people from doing things as I have been, then I have to do these things like most artists ;w;
Ah, yeah, that sounds understandable, yes. Jobs like those are tiring. owo;
Anyways, sorry if I came off as whiny or something. I didn't mean to. ^w^;

I'll poke you if I open for commissions next month x3
You will? Thanks! That's so nice of you! <3
