Update (Patreon)

Hello you beautiful, wonderful people.
I am in the process of answering all my private messages, you'll get an answer today for those of you who wrote to me and haven't heard back!
Also, I would like to give you a quick update regarding the reopening of commissions, how the next few months are going to be laid out, and a reminder of how I usually work, that last, so you understand better why some things take time.
Firstly, I am debating how to reopen commissions. I have already received a number of requests which I already added. Those were requests from Patrons who had sent me VIP requests before I closed my list, but I never got to fulfill their wish.
Now, moving forward, I am thinking of creating a specific tier with a limited number of "subscription" per month, this to allow a better flow.
As you know, I am French, I work in law enforcement, and my country is hosting the Olympic Games this year, starting this July. This will be a very strained period for me, therefore, you might see a lull in the rhythm, I hope I'll still be able to compensate, but I want to be transparent with you all, you deserve that much.
I will know more as time goes by, and promise to keep you updated.
Now, how I work.
I am alone in doing this. Every video takes time to make.
To give you a better understanding, here's how I usually work for VIP requests.
I reveive the request, I then exchange a few ideas with the Patron (if needed) to get a better understanding of how to proceed.
Then, I write a scenario, as detailed as possible.
Then, I create the characters, and usually send screenshots to the Patron to get approval. This takes time; I think you all know how much I like the attention to detail on all characters.
Then, I have to build the setting according to the scenario I wrote. Again, I like to make a setting realistic and "plausible". I take my time to make sure everything is right to immerse the viewer.
I then test and pre-try ALL animations (from facial expressions, poses, to sex animations, including positioning and order). I write it all down in a separate "sex scenario".
Then, I start recording. It takes time, making sure that all animations and positions fit to the scenario. I take particular care of camera angles and have to record multiple takes for just one angle to get it just right.
When I say "recording", it means that each camera angle corresponds to one clip. If I do not like it, I delete that clip and re-record the take.
To give you an example, the last request (Relief & Relaxsexion) had 424 clips. This is 424 not counting the deleted takes. This number is the final number of clips I'm gonna work with.
I then have one software to edit those. Meaning, I upload all the clips, and arrange them, cut, shorten, remove some sounds or extend some stuff. This first phase is to make the whole "raw" video, and that's where I add the background music and try to match it to the content.
I then have to render and export that video, this takes a while depending on length.
After that, you get what I now call "Lost Files Videos".
Once this is done, I import that video into another program.
This is where the final product gets done.
I change the frame rate to 60fps, add all the dialogue manually based on the scenario, add sound effects, visual effects, and all the other things you see in final versions.
I then review it, render and export, which takes more time than the previous step.
Then, it's upload time on the Dropbox, before posting it here.
I wanted to clarify this so that you can better understand how long and complex some videos can be to make, an why you, sometimes, have less content than other times.
I wish I could do this fulltime, but unfortunately, I cannot yet, which means I have to do all that between my work and my rest and sleep.
There you go! For those who didn't know, that's how it's all done :)
Stay awesome!
Elliot.
