Hello people :),

Getting back on work since Easter is over now and wanted to inform you on some upcoming changes.

Regarding PATREON I will create within this week or the next one two new tiers. One will be providing the .psd file(s) of finalized pictures and one will be a test for PATREON sub monthly commissions.

The .psd file(s) will include all (almost) step that I take on creating the final product put on constructed named Layers, for those who are interested in seeing how I am making them. I do have some concerns regarding that since I do not think people are really interested on seeing the making process of a product usually rather than enjoying the final product after the finish line. All in all I do not think that my "Style" is unique etc....since I just like the Japanese anime and Manga styles and I am trying to imitate those if not combine them ^.^;............? There are certain steps that I can not explain though within the .psd files. Certain effects and as to why I apply them sometimes is random or have to do with how much that certain picture with a given effect appeals to my eye, whether it is an old retro effect or a more modern one. Keep in my mind that each one has different settings in his/her monitors/screens for colours, saturation, brightness etc.....so sometimes when something might seem ok to me might differ for you. So what do you think? Would you consider it good if I also give a text file presenting which effects I have used and on what values for each .psd file?

I am thinking of making this Tier with the value of $10 USD since arguably I am "giving away" the method that I use for making what I make of which it took me a good amount of time to learn by myself (5 years or so XD....and still learning :O). At first I will check and see if the Tier can be made to be priced per piece and not monthly since it will require to have files from complete pictures (line arts, colours, shadows, backgrounds etc...) and not just plain sketches. Or I am thinking of combining it with the second Tier for a price between 5$ USD-10$ USD.....

As for the next Tier I will initially open some test Slots (maybe x2-3 of them?) and see how it goes and how much time they consume. Problem is that the current commission list is still a little long for me....So I will test this one with a simple starter. A 1x character per commission full body or not (up to the PATREON) in Anime style with no Backgrounds (except a simple one provided by me) at 40$ USD.  Of course this price is an intermediate one, since it can go higher or lower depending what people might ask as you may understand. The PATREONs that will use this will receive the .psd file as well as the full resolution of their image (duh!!?).

Anyway still thinking how to better work on those updates since they require of me to have stuff ready by the end of each month. As for the PATREON exclusive pictures and the voting polls that have taken a pause so far its actually hard to make 1x picture per week. In general it requires 2 days at minimum to finish one so one way is to have a poll and make sure to at least provide 2-3 pictures per month? I am not sure about that but I am sure that any suggestions you might have or proposals on characters you would like to see are welcomed.

Damn that's a huge wall of text here XD.....sorry about it and thank you for reading through it :) regardless.
