Happy 2022! (Patreon)

Hey you guys!
I hope y'all receive this 2022 well and healthy and, in the best case, happy. For me, it was okay, a bit anxious on things to come but still look positively at how stuff might turn out for this year.
Lots of planning ahead, from progressions to more pics and animations and some bigger projects that I'm not sure I should talk about (without actually committing to em to at least 10%). In the same vein I still wanna do more continuity on past pieces, always like looking back into my work and adding a bit of flare to neato pieces that were done.
I've felt this past 2021 I peaked around Aug.~Oct. and this last 2 months was pretty slow, so I want to start the year with good stuff for y'all to enjoy: new peaks, better content!
There's some things I wanna tackle and I would love your feedback on it.
- First of all, more simplified drawings. Fully rendered pics are basically what I do the most and I think it's what most folks start supporting me here for. I wanna be faster not only with my figures but also my coloring. Would you guys be okay if I try to experiment with some streamlined content. It'd be more content (quantity) but less eyecandy (quality). I'm talking sketches, doodles and such.
- Animations! I love to do 'em but still they take a lot of time (mostly with cleanup). Do you guys have a preference over the super fully clean animation? Or are you guys more than okay just seeing the animation not as clean? I asked because most of the time the WIPs ended up having more interactions/engagement than the finished product. So I don't know if I'm exhausting y'all by posting constant updates so much that the final product doesnt have as big of a impact (as its proportions huehuehuheue).
- Progressions! What's your sweet spot for a progression's length? 12 part like with Samus? 9? There's certain limits I like to have on my own stuff on both proportions (week 48 is the biggest I'm drawing for example) and length (the postpreg pics were a nice bonus but by the end i felt so exhausted).
- Ze polls. And boy this one's hard to knock on. So you guys send your suggestions and I pick some characters that I feel like "oh this one would look nice a bit wider or preggoer" and pick em. Then the voting comes and idk how tf there's always THAT ONE character getting a lot of the votes. I mean yeah democracy's working but I'm at a loss at how to please y'all in that regard. Help me with that.
- And last and also important (since I've been asked multiple times): what's your opinion on anthro? I've been asked if I can draw them and I don't have a problem but I've mostly avoid them cuz I feel a good chunk of y'all would not like em. but there's also the other chunk that would like em and I don't know man lol
And that's it. Man this year was...rough. I mean it's been great at multiple points but there's been so many emotionals/psychological valleys along the way that it's spinned my mind overdrive and I feel 5 years older.
I...I actually hope it went good for you all. I really do, I hope this past year treated you all well. Sometimes I see the exit surveys and I see so many folks leaving because of their financial situation been turned ugly cuz of the pandemic and it sucks man. Cuz you guys really made all of this happen and I really wish you guys could have the best of all. Not to benefit me, but because you guys made it possible. And seeing lives changed because of it all. It doesn't seem fair, it feels underserving that some of you got the short end of the stick and I end up getting your support. idk. i'm rambling, I'm not even drunk lol
but yea. this is a message for all you, if you have problems with money, please DO NOT hesitate in leaving. I actually worry about you folks, don't feel bad, don't apologize. I'm for all intents and purposes a luxury. Hell, the peruvian IRS categorizes me as an entertainer (a clown lmao). So focus your effort above all on you. Once again I thank you for supporting me, and I'll do my best to do well by you all. I'm not the best artist but I can damn sure prove to you that you'll get your money's worth. in TITS and TUMMIES.
And that's it.
Thanks for another year of support.
Happy New Year, here's hoping this 2022 turns into a good or better one.
Cheers, and y'all have a good one!
