PATREON, AAAHHHH (Launch and thoughts)
11 years ago
SO I've gone against my better judgement and launched a Patreon! You can look at the banner I submitted in my gallery some where, or I can just.. link the page.
http://www.patreon.com/lurfleman
I'm still not, like, 100% confident in running a Patreon Page, but circumstances have kind of lead me to believe I have to try, if nothing else. Patreon has always been one of those too-good-for-me kind of things, where it's like THIS SOUNDS AMAZING but I feel like I could never get it to work ever.
Still, worth a try. So I'm gonna try changing things up a little with the launch of a Patreon Page, despite my inherent doubts, and try to explain stuff I would like to do with this.
A: SECURITY
ULTIMATELY this is kind of the reason for me doing a Patreon. I don't mind getting by with commissions, and I doubt I'll ever stop doing them, but if something happens to muck up my current setup that's beyond my control - I'm kind of boned. Like, finished, kaput, out. I don't have the funds to cover that, and while my family's been amazing and come through for me in the past, a big contributing factor of those events seems to be blind, dumb luck. I can't really rely on them for stuff like that.
B: HIGH DEF ACTION
not. like. actually. I'm not sure what the technical term is called, but I'm basically going to try and work with a larger scale for my pixel art/sprites/whatever.

It's not PERFECT, but this should help at least communicate the idea of what I wanna try and do.
That's not just stills or anything, that's animations as well, so it's just something I'ma try and do in general.
This part is happening regardless of if Patreon does well or not. It's kind of like, natural art progression.
C: MORE PERSONAL GARBAGE
Maybe. I might ask Patrons if they want to see that stuff when it's all said and done, but yeah. I have a lot of stuff I'd really like to do, with characters and stuff, that.. well, I can't. I typically barely get by the skin of my teeth with commissions, and whatever personal work I do whip out is either to keep me sane, or to try and fuel what limited social interaction I get, since I don't have the free time, or a strong enough machine, to really join in on all the popular things. Like vidya gaems and the like. This counts both normal, and fetish content.
There are some other things I would LIKE to do, like lengthening my animations to be longer and more involved, see if I can't do some minor requests here or there, converse more with my watchers, and experiment with different programs whenever I get a sliver of free time. I guess those are the main three things though, the others are just things to work on if things go well.
EITHER WAY, IF YOU'VE COME THIS FAR, AWESOME, THANKS FOR READING. I'LL TRY AND UPLOAD MORE THINGS SOON. FOR NOW, I SLEEP.

(I may opt to increase my donation later, just wanted to stay 'safe' for the moment >.> )
s'not good man
...Plus I'd feel a little bad adding on to your workload, I guess (that is, having a sprite done for donating more) :x ...Or something.
