Changes, please read!
Added 2022-04-14 14:32:01 +0000 UTCHello everyone, the changes I’ve been announcing are finally here.
I updated the tiers’ info, profile (“About Hedit”) and the FAQ post, but here you can read all the changes and some personal thoughts about these:
REWARDS
Theme Pack:
- Every month I will choose a theme for drawing.
- The pack would contain completely new drawings or “switcheroo”, using part of the line art from previous works to create new pics.
- The number of pics you will receive is uncertain, it could be 3, 4 or 6 pics (+ variations); a drawing would have multiple characters and the number of pics will depends on the complexity of each.
Expansion pack:
Separated form the "Theme Pack", it's a different set of rewards in the same month. It can be a second theme pack, animations, remakes, or a mix of these 3.
Discord:
Server for chatting, follow closely other projects aside from Patreon and for voting in polls.
Polls:
Sometimes I will have multiple ideas and I’ll be indecisive, could be about the characters, theme, scene base, pose, outfit, etc. So I will need your help to decide, this is the function of the polls in Discord.
PREVIOUS REWARDS:
You can not get previous rewards on Patreon. All the previous rewards are available for purchase on Gumroad.
TIERS
C RANK ($3)
- Theme Pack (Half-res)

As you can see I’m including an S-rank again, but it’s different. These “Expansion Pack” and “Theme Pack” will be available for purchase on Gumroad, the same day I send rewards here.
If you are interested in the content of the “Extension Pack” but not in the “Theme Pack” I recommend you to wait and buy it from Gumroad, I think that would be better for you; in any case you always have the whole month to see the previews and decide at the end of it.
Besides, my idea is use the “Theme Pack” for the popular series and the “Expansion Pack” for the most underrated ones ( I won't mind if it is an old series, or a character only a few are interested in).
Later today I’ll post the previews of 3 new sets that can illustrate what level of underrated and what kind of content I'm going to make sometimes for the “Expansion Pack”.
Comments
Yeah I completely see that point don't worry but like thats what the bonus stuff was for ideally I woulda liked a 1 month patreons pick 1 month Hedits pick or maybe different weighting where Hedit picks 2-3 character Patrons pick 1-2, As for flavour of the month I don't think that is a bad thing at all as by doing the hot IPs at the moment is how R34 artists gain new viewers mainly, by striking when the iron hot thats best chance they have at people unaware of their art discovering their work. I think the solution was more to reweigh things rather than a blanket wipe as it feels like a loss of agency a bit which I guess which is how Hedit felt prior so I get it but I believe maybe in future there was a nice middleground that could be reserved for the S tier especially if bringing it back. I'm going to stick around for sure regardless but hope further refinements are made in the future

2022-04-15 05:54:11 +0000 UTCA counterpoint to the critique regarding the voting polls is that while I suppose there was some enjoyment value in seeing who won, it also severely limited what could win, as series such as My Hero Academia, KonoSuba, and Re:Zero would hold the polls hostage until a series that could match its popularity could contest it or it won. While many enjoy that aspect, I argue it was limiting and frustrating for people who want to see something different, as the yearly ban didn't deter KonoSuba or Re:Zero's popularity as you could see. It was like seeing the flavor of the month of what was hype in anime and it gave WAY too much power to the Patrons to decide how things should go. Which... I guess is the point of some Patreons? But it honestly felt like there wasn't a point for long-time Patrons of Hedit's to stay around with how things were escalating.

2022-04-15 01:21:56 +0000 UTCMixed feelings on this mainly negative but am willing to give chance even as S tier to see how plays out as what I read doesnt necessarily translate to the experience. Love the new philosophy towards theme and expansion however with the way you worded it polls will be all but non existent I remember recently how hard people were trying to get nagataro to break through 2nd place and people liked idea that they got to pick drawings. You wanting to take your own direction is 100% understandable and won't bash that but would have liked to see with S tier maybe get to vote on a exclusive poll each month. Only other major gripe I have is no longer getting ;previous rewards on any tier especially when the gumroad is split by characters and bit hard to navigate. This however may just be recent patron bias speaking obv as part of reason I came back to this site was ur art and being able to get previous rewards by grinding it for a year. Sorry bout the essay just thought you'd prefer detailed feedback and I'll most likely shift to S tier but yeah would be nice to see one more thing in the S tier

2022-04-14 20:34:24 +0000 UTCIt's not an obligation, we'll see if it worth the price or not.
2022-04-14 19:35:24 +0000 UTCI feel the changes are welcome. The current reward system wasn't really doing any favours to the long standing patrons who were getting the same awards over and over again. ( Seriously, I have like four different Asuna versions saved on my folder). The prices might seem a bit hefty but as someone already pointed out, now it really seems like we're supporting hedit. I for one am very excited about the animations and the other projects he mentioned

2022-04-14 18:43:58 +0000 UTCS rank feels off, mainly because of the price gap, it could have been better
2022-04-14 18:13:38 +0000 UTCNewbie: what 30!!? Veteran: Yay! S-rank is back! The $30 S-rank tier was a thing before, it was closed because.... https://www.patreon.com/posts/hedit-newsletter-41567279
2022-04-14 17:46:58 +0000 UTCI dunno, I personally like these changes. Feels like we're truly supporting Hedit rather than telling him what to do.
