Patreon Changes - February 2022

Goal

I'd like to prioritize the production of comics, as was my original intention for this Patreon. Over the years I've tried adding on a large variety of benefits that required me to spend my time elsewhere, so I'm now greatly reducing the number of projects periodically ongoing at one time as I found it very hard to cycle my way through all of them in  a reasonable amount of time. These projects aren't going away forever, but will be temporarily shelved to focus on just one at a time. 

After a lot of talk with my peers and with Patrons over on the Discord I've also decided to cease custom art rewards for Patrons. Although it's something I really would like to provide, I couldn't find a satisfactorily fair picking-system and the number of patrons in those tiers became larger than I'd be able to handle in a reasonable amount of time. That isn't to say that commissions won't be available ever. I'll address that below.

Additionally, I feel that without the guarantee of custom art I cannot reasonably justify the high amount of support people have been providing at the Heart-Conqueror ($15) tier. However, many patrons at that tier have expressed that they wish to continue pledging that amount no matter what. To accommodate this, most benefits will be moved to lower tiers but the Heart-Conqueror tier will remain with minimal additional benefits for those who simply would like to support my work.

Content Produced

-Main comic: This is a colored/shaded comic with an output of 2 pages per month. The current main comic is Top of the Breeder Board. When this comic concludes I will list options for the next main comic to be voted on.

-Secondary project: This is a grab bag of all other possible projects I would like to work on. This will be voted on every 1-2 months, depending on the length of the project, from a rotating list of projects that I feel most passionate about at that time. Secondary projects include

• Merchandise: Designing clothing, stickers, etc. to be sold online and at cons
• Sketch Comics: ~5 pages of sketched kinky comic scenarios (i.e. Hazing Hazard)
• TyrooTeaches: Instructional Youtube videos teaching how I do art
• Dakimakuras: Making new body pillow designs of my characters 
• Open Commissions: Spend that time on opening 2-3 commission slots open to everyone (slots are applied for via Google Forms from which I choose the ideas I like best)
  

-At leisure content: Once a week I'll be taking a free day to give me time for creative expression or get out small ideas that I want to work on such as

• Mini comics: Everyday Roomance (4 panel candid comics starring Tyroo and Bruce) and Greener Pastures (single panel instructional series on seed starting and plant care starring my cow boi Elliot)
• Lewdles: Quick 3-4 panel sketches of kinky ideas I have
• Character AMA: Quick sketches of my cast of characters responding to your questions
• Meme pictures, studies, etc: Gives me time to keep up with whatever current outfit/pose meme may be hot that week or ideas I'm aching to express on tablet
