Daily Original & Poll
Added 2023-09-23 22:08:49 +0000 UTC
Hello again!
So. I was thinking about some conversations I had and how my works are going on. Yeah I make a lot of images sometimes and sometimes fewer. I started working on lesbian scene for Fairy Tail that won the last poll. I feel like sometimes with all things coming at the same time it's impossible for me to deal with all that. That on top of what I have to deal with mischief that social media/platforms impose on me (and other artists) makes really hard to keep the consistency. So it's possible that sometimes I'll have to deal with different production times.
The result of that is that sometimes you will get post with less images or sometimes with more simple poses/scenes. I think that overall is better than not posting at all. Because when I do a post that I think is really good and I invest more time on it, sometimes it isn't much different in engagement and overall approval than some easier posts. I could give some examples of works that I spent over 40-50 minutes in a single image. While some others took me less than that to make 10-20 images.
It's possible, that a few days I will post only 1 post instead of 2. Not happening yet, but it's very difficult sometimes. Specially with platforms changing their rules in the shadows all the time.
Yesterday I would have started Yua story for today and also worked a bit on the tutorial, but I got to deal with some nuisances like that.
So anyway, this poll is so I know your opinion about how you feel about my works. You can vote multiple options. Also your wishes.
I will do what I think it's best for me at the time, but know your opinion will help deciding that.

I don't know, maybe it's just the burnout. And you are right, even if I make very good images, it can be that for a lot of people it's nice but they don't care about it. Like... Some people asks me for a lot of ass shots. I imagine if I make very good boob shot, it may not work well for them.

2023-09-24 04:46:07 +0000 UTCVery high quality standards with the 2nd option. With 30+, there’s diversity and there’s bound to be a few images each one of us likes. With 1-5 images, you’re banking on all of them being a hit and meeting expectations. Also raises the question of how much of a quality increase we’re looking at for these “difficult” vs “simpler” images. If the difficult one that takes you hours is only marginally better than the simpler one that takes you minutes, not worth it. You might end up finding yourself in another type of stress where you constantly worry if that one image will even meet expectations or not, instead of your current workload stress. So maybe test the waters before committing. I’d definitely love to see examples of what these 1-5 image sets look like. Examples of what exactly difficult vs easy for the same character mean as well. Not against the 1-5 images and I do support artists who use that format, but obviously they have to put out very high quality images consistently. If it works out, I’m for it. But at the end of the day, do what you think is best for you and hopefully it all sorts out.

2023-09-24 03:40:55 +0000 UTCwell at this point just embrace the chaos. IMHO, unfortunately, position success depends also on the girl done, so it's completely whimsical. Do what you like more and feel accomplished, if getting to #1 on patreon with boring positions do not satisfy you. At the end of the day, your only true metric could only be patreon income, because your passion also needs to be profitable

2023-09-23 23:19:34 +0000 UTCI feel like working a lot in characters that don't give fruitful results is a bad take. I mean, why make a different angle for buttjob if I can make the same angle from previous posts automatically and without drawing a pixel and get on #1 place on pixiv. Why make a different angle in anal sex if a post with a missionary gets more likes? It's weird, I don't know what people really like nowadays. This kind of thing makes me not want to get out of my comfort zone.

2023-09-23 23:09:26 +0000 UTCok now I understand the problem better. Will go for exclusive vote on 1-5 images then. That should be a compromise to give you enough space to express yourself in the way you want and my personal "appetite" for content

2023-09-23 23:02:40 +0000 UTCI mean, that rukia post, the one without bankai, wasn't even close to what I expected praise it could have and I worked a lot on that. I worked a lot in some other posts too. These kind of stuff drags the motivation down a bit.

2023-09-23 22:57:23 +0000 UTCOne thing that drags me down is the small difference in what I consider an average piece that I did and an awesome piece. Also I think that my perception is different too. Like I see some cheap methods to push content that I see a lot of the top creators do and they get a lot of praise for that as if it was the 8th wonder. So I figure that people don't give damn about originality and in a lot of cases they don't care much for specific/different poses. I don't know, it's just that's what I get from some posts that I do.

2023-09-23 22:53:33 +0000 UTCso just some things a little objective: i have supported a lot of AI creators in last month some with great image quality and some with so and so stuff. There were guys who gave 1 gallery of 20 image daily of good quality, some with a gallery every three days but with insane quality, and others with daily gallery with hundreds of the images where ONLY 1/3 were acceptable. And here comes koikoi with 4 (!!!) galleries of 10-20 images of good-great quality. Dude you have a great production standard don't beat yourself so much
