Release Schedule
Added 2017-04-03 18:25:39 +0000 UTCHi all, I wanted to give you all some info and near term plans:
For Jade and Chezara I am nearly done posing and you will see the final set (~160 images) 2-3 weeks from now.
The school girl set is about 4-5 weeks from now.
I am still with only one system and I am feeling it as I am sure you are with how often or less often I am posting stuff. Rather than stop for 2-3 days and make a 5-10 short set for you im just plowing through these two sets.
Everyone owed a commission will get it, its just taking time. I do plan to get another system but real life has also consumed discretionary funds atm, it looks like June for the new system now.
The pose competition will be done after these two sets also, I wlil be getting the next round up for voting shortly.
One thing I am seriously considering is making my content only available via Patreon, I thought about this before and again I am seeing the 3DX market just flooded with some pretty low quality stuff. Competing with that is not worth my time it seems based on sales. And focusing on only Patreon for my sets may be better time spent. I am open to feedback on this.
Thanks for the support as always.

I found your work through affect3d and very happy I did. the thing about patreon is that its a constant subscription and for me personally I already have at times 2-3 game subscriptions that's already around $45-50 a month I like to just be able to buy when I want and not worry about which subscription I will have to cancel to support this kind of work

2017-04-04 02:10:11 +0000 UTCWell all the 3dx I support is either on patreon or have their own private web site store so if you went patreon only it wouldn't affect me. But would the people who only buy you stuff from sites like affect3d find there way over here? Idk if you'd just be loosing a source of income that won't recover. I'm no business expert.

2017-04-03 20:36:22 +0000 UTCThanks a lot for this important update. You provide here really a professional update with clear priorities and decisions. Very good. I also notice that you do not cut in quality and quantity even being limited in raw HW power. That is fine. Also the high level timeline and order is exactly what Iwas looking for. When you give such forecasts – I propose to take some reserve so that if real life conflicts you don’t feel directly under pressure. And if everything runs smooth and you release a week earlier? No one will blame you;-) I also like the proceeding on the pose competiton as it provides good interaction with the community. Appreciate also the update on the commissions and the commitment in it. Regarding a Patreon only approach: Well I think it is worthwile to be considered. You are right - a year ago I bought every dickgirl/Futa title on Renderotica and Affect3D that was released (and most were yours and Supros;-) Today? Impossible. Too much and also there are some sets that are simply low quality - agree everyone has to start and also a learning curve is fine but some more serious artists realize that they are just starting and give first sets for free just to get some feedback while others directly sell at prices for 50-60 pics where you deliver 100-160 (and those with better quality). Patreon Only won’t protect you unfortunately from the leechers who nevertheless rip the stuff and publish it on the corresponding sites. Maybe this is the time of today where everyone expects to be paid fair for his own work, but when it comes to pay others for theirs there is stealing, betrayal and worse... Don’t want to become politic here. In order to compensate for the missing sales via the big portals you might reduce the outputs of your standard sets (from 1/month down to perhaps 8-9) and use the free time for offering commissions. Here you could limit the size of the commission (regarding number of pics to something reasonable and also rework your pricing!) For other artists whom I support the typical cost is for one picture and pose with 3-4 PoVs and 2 standard chars of that artist typical 10-15 US$ per char + 5-10 Extra for specials like cumshot. So a 10 picture commission would be around 200-300 US$ (- a small discount). It might also be a way to make your 20US$ Pateron level a little more attractive. Due to your system limitation you dont get too many 20 US $ Patreon only sets out. Perhaps a 20% discount on commissions would add some traction here. In addition this might give you some fresh motivation. I would assume many commission inquiries would focus on a couple of pics like 1-5 (lets say up to 100 US$,-) This way different Patreons Commissions will result in more frequent updates regarding your longtime characters. This would help bridge waiting time when there would be a hot Erin + Miss Nathalie on Carina commission from time to time or others have their own interpretation of DDH2 or a naughty fantasy of Faeria teaming up with Jessica… I don’t have any idea if this would work out time/cost wise but I think smaller a couple of picture commissions would add spice, variety and bring some fresh ideas. It also would help supporting the different tasters of the different fans (Shadows of darkness 3 scene?, Carina New nightmare suffering?, elf on elf lesbo action?,…) I think you have a broad fan base. Sorry for the long post but I think you put a lot of thinking into this update so I would like to provide some valuable feedback.
