How to Receive Bonus Content

I am in the middle of creating a new system to provide you all with more content for the same subscription price. How will it work? Well let me explain, please pay close attention!

For every photoset I create, I generate anywhere between 50 to 150 images of that set. Each image will go through a processing step (described below) before being posted on Patreon.

Before I tell you how to get access to the bonus content, let me describe the processing process.

1) First, I generate anywhere between 50 to 150 images of a given image set (For example, the Greek Goddess set.) Of these images, only 60% - 70% are good enough to move on to the next step of the process. I individually select each image that is worthy of being further processed. This step can take anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour.

2) Next, the selected images are put through a second processing step in which they are upgraded to a 2k or 3k resolution and detail is added to them. This second processing step damages some of the images badly and renders them unusable. Our original photo set size is now down to about 30% - 40% of high quality images that are worthy of being shared and posted. This next step can take between 5 to 9 minutes per image.

3) Our special touch - Lastly, some images may undergo one last processing step in which blemishes are removed if necessary and more detail is added to them. This process can take between 5 to 10 minutes per image.

The point of mentioning all of that was the following:

1) Give you all an insight into the process and how complex it can be to produce high quality images. Sometimes it can take multiple days to have images worthy of being posted on Patreon because we post the highest quality images here.

2) The main point though, is that out of those 50 - 150 original images only 20 - 70 may be worthy of being posted.

...

"Yeah, yeah. How do I get my bonus content?"

Well! You may have noticed that I don't post the entire 20 - 70 images from each set on Patreon. That's because even I find it difficult to scroll through many images on the desktop website and the mobile app. I only post the best ones from each set on Patreon.

That doesn't mean the rest of the usable images aren't great and worthy of being shared though!

Let me introduce our new bonus content system! For Art Aficionado and Masterpiece Maestro subscribers, I will be giving you access to the rest of the image set via MEGA (or something similar, I am still trying to figure this part out.)

How will it work? Let me explain.

Starting with your second (or third/fourth, etc) monthly subscription, on the first day of your subscription you are eligible to get access to these image sets on MEGA.

"Wait, wait. That sounds very confusing. Can you explain it to me like I'm five?"

Sure. Pay attention because this is how you actually get access to the bonus content.

Say you subscribed to my account for the first time on August 15th. If you subscribe for only month, then your membership would run out on September 15th. If you don't renew your subscription, you would get to enjoy all the high quality content that I post on Patreon for that month, but you would not qualify for access to the bonus content.

"Okay, so when do I qualify for it?"

You would qualify for the bonus content on the first day of the second month of your subscription. In other words, on September 16th, when the second month of your subscription is renewed you officially qualify for access to the bonus content image sets that were posted.

"So on September 16th, you would grant me access to this content right away?"

Well, on September 16th you would qualify for it but I would send out access to the bonus content to everybody at the same time at the end of the month. In this case, I would send out access to the bonus content on September 30th.

Note: Due to the complexity of this new system, it will likely start operating on September 30th.

TLDR; For each image set I create tons of images, but I only post the best ones on Patreon. There are some amazing images worthy of being shared that don't get posted - this is the bonus content you may get access to. You will only get access to that month's bonus content if you subscribe at least for a second month. This option is only available to subscribers of the Art Aficionado tier and above.

Confused? I understand. Comment with any questions and let's get you unconfused!
