When I first started this Patreon, I felt I had alot of big intentions, a solid idea of what I wanted to use it for. This was proved false...very quickly. I wasn't sure if I wanted to mainly stick to SFW art and kinda post some NSFW here and there, or only use it for hi res commissions and headworld stuff, I was very confused as to what i wanted out of Patreon and myself.
I think I'm coming to a more concise conclusion. I really enjoy having a space to put my headworld stuff as I work on it, it's nice to share hi-res finished pieces before I post them, and I enjoy exploring various art experiments. I've never really be one to feel I could nail down one art style, one way of doing things, or honestly, just dedicating my time solely to one project for very long stretches of time. I think I may branch out more in the future with what I offer here, but I think I'd like to continue on with what I'm doing with the ONI tier, and experiment a little more with the YOKAI tier.
For one, I now have a membership to Picarto and are able to stream privately. I am excited for that! There are quite a few pieces of art I'm still working on that I'd love to stream. Three's also so much headworld stuff I've been organizing, Veldts, Yzamor, and a few side stroies that I'm collaborating on with my partner and some friends.
As far as content goes, I have so much that I could work on. I just wish I could dedicate more time to them. I'm not complaining in the slightest about commissions because I've been really enjoying the work I'm doing for others, but I want to eventually get to a point where I could focus on more personal work.
So I need to find a balance with commissions, my life, and personal work but also with content. Find a nice mix of SFW and NSFW content....
Hmmm.... I wonder what I'll be doing next...
This ended up in a bit of a ramble, more than I intended, but I also kinda wanted to jot down my thoughts here on where I want to go with Patreon and making my own content. I'm still beyond pleased that I have this intimate group of supporters. I love posting things for you ? I just also know that I want to find some overall consistency with the frequency of posting and figuring out when to work on what. My early New Year's Resolution is to get myself on a rigid schedule, make more things for myself to share here and elsewhere, be more unabashed about what I enjoy creating.
Before I ramble further, I love you all very much and thank you so so much for helping me start this up ? [big yokai smooch]
