Hello everyone. I figure I should give you all a quick update on the current situation. I'm spending my free time currently on the I will never surrender épisode. It's going slower than I would like it to due to my end of month being extremely busy but I'm still hopeful that I will end it by the 29th.

I'm using the render time to set up 3 things:

1 A paypal. I'm super dumb when it comes to doing most things on internet so it's taking longer than it should. I'm doing this so that people who want commissions but dont want to usé Patreon, finally have an alternative method.

2 an onlyfans account. I understand a lot of people have issues with Patreon. Lots of times people tell me they dont trust that site. And I'm giving you a rough estimate here but around a quarter of the people who try to pledge see their payments fail. I will post the same content on onlyfans as on Patreon but I'm hoping that people who hate Patreon or can't use can see and experience it as a good alternative.

3 A site to sell my work as bundles. I understand that not everyone pledge to Patreon just to support me, and the content there is important for them. As I get more time and material to make more pictures I plan to include a few new ideas and styles n there although the main focus will always be femdom and female wrestling. I dodo understand that some people dont like that they are paying a monthly subscription for something that includes something they are not into. So as I remove the old content from Patreon, I ll bundle it up by categories and sell these bundles on maybe Gumroad or dlsite ? I'd like to have your opinion on that.

Anyway I hope I covered everything. These last few months have been pretty rough for me but the support I got and the kind comments and critics help me go forward. I know it sounds cliché but it really does. My Patreon has been up for almost a year and every new pledge came with a confidence boost so I'm very grateful for everyone who pledged in the past or are currently pledged.

I'd like your opinions and suggestions on what I wrote and I wish you all a good Day/night

In the next few months, I will be making a few changes. 
As you know, I'm trying to grow as an artist and ideally, I would like to hit sufficient revenue to quit my job and commit to art fully. 

Lately I've felt like I have been stagnating a bit as I usually post 5 to 8 pictures every 2 or 3 days and with my work and personnal life, it leaves me little to no time to really experiment new stuff unless I don't have anything to do like today and I've already posted a set the day before (which is why I am currently rendering a very experimental video attempt.) And I love making pictures, but I feel like lately I have been going for quantity over quality and I really dont like that since I can just imagine this leading me straight to a burnout in the long run.

I will also change the format of the I will never surrender serie (again) back to a manga/comic style as I dont think that seeing the picture and then reading the text makes it full of suspense in anyway.

Another issue is that I've seen a few cases of people selling/giving away my Patreon rewards. Also a lot of people seem to be alergic to Patreon and I dont want to deny them the possibility to access my content and to support me. To fix these issues, I will remove all the posts on Patreon that are more than 2 months old. So I would suggest to all my Patrons to download them as soon as you can if you want to still have them. If you could not download them, you can always send me a message, I have a list of all the Patrons that pledged, at what months so I can check if you were entitled to that reward at the time and send it. For people who missed the chance to get that reward when it was on Patreon, I will start looking at different alternatives and look for a site to sell bundles of pictures. Some people here are only there for one type of content so it is not fair for them to pay for stuff they dont want to see.

My last issue is that I dont like that I have people who pledged me since the start and I would like to give people who have supported me for a certain amount of time at least a little something. From now on, if you are Bronze tier or above( the 3 dollar tier) and you have been supporting me for a year (the Patreon is not a year old yet but some people are getting close to that) you will get a free commission work. 

I'm sorry if some of you don't like some of the changes, but please understand that if I want to become a full time artist and give you all the quality and quantity of content that I dream of, some changes need to be made. And I think or at least hope these changes are fair.

One last thing, I would really like some feedback from you all. What rewards would you like to see. For people that are hesitating to pledge but can't what could tip the balance, what am I doing wrong?

Ps: I'm rendering an animation attempt. I'll post it despite not being really satisfied by it myself. I tried to make the fight dynamic so in order to do that I stuck to low amounts of frame per second (30 frames in 5 seconds or so) I have been watching a lot of anime while my pictures render to try and pic up on movements and pace and I saw a really cool sequence in an anime called vinland saga where it feels like there is a very low amount of frames used. I tried doing it myself but it looks a bit choppy. I have a few theories on why it happened and maybe making a 1v2 fight to start animation wasn't the best of ideas. My next animation I will just make something simple and with a higher amount of FPS like a submission hold.
