EOM bizness update (cw: bizness)

sorry it was a slow month on the OC front!

might have to clarify something, as i've gotten this strange piece of feedback more than once:

"i just don't think anyone would pay to see your OC art"

i literally only post it at the free tier though? that's been my entire pitch the whole time: 'OC art/WIPs are at the free membership level'. struggling to think of a better way to communicate this (not being snarky, genuinely do not know how to communicate this as there seems to be confusion about it). so yes OC art is at the free level. there hasn't been much of it this month because I've been really busy with comms.. but that's the idea. 0$ free membership = OC art. you also get free WIPs of the nsfw pinup. i've been posting these in the chatroom, but i guess it would be better to have them be separate posts so they actually appear in peoples' feed. if the patreon does better there will be more OC art of course, that is my ultimate goal, but atm it's not a perk or anything, you get my OC WIPs, nsfw pinup WIPs and personal art just for being around here.

for paid membership there is a nsfw pinup pic that's funded every month. that's the only commitment at the moment. i experimented with a no early access model and the dramatic results i found were.. no one signed up at the paid level. so! these are going to be paywalled from now on. hate to do it, as i genuinely don't want to paywall, but if it's the only way to get people to sign up.. well at least i tried.

production budget is much lower next month, this is bc the priority slot is vacant this month, but it's still enough to put in a pic a month. going to try to do more than that though, but we'll see how it goes. i think pics will go out publicly in censored form as promotion. paywall will remain in effect for an undecided period. just going to build a paywalled backlog for now. don't want to do perks and exclusives ideally but there's not much reward for being punk rock..

anyway luv u guys!

stressful month next month too but gonna see what i can put together <33
