SORRY FOR THE TEXT WALL
Hello, starting today the price for the normal sub will be back at how it was some months ago (1$ instead of 3$) and I'll change the working schedule from 1 set per 2 days to 1 set per 3-5 days.
Reason is soon I won't be able to do as AI as usual for a few months for some irl stuff, but the true reason is I can't keep with the schedule.
AI is pretty easy to make, as all of you know, so I know a lot of you won't really understand or will even make fun of it, but making 50 or 100 images + twt images (I'll talk about those later, too) in two days takes a lot of time. I know some creators don't pay too much attention to the images and make easy things/always the same, but in my case I'm making AI a lot of hours per day and it takes a lot of my time (people don't usually believe me 😭). I'm not saying I'm growing tired of doing AI, I enjoy it a lot, what I'm trying to say is the working schedule is becoming stressful, specially with some requests and commisions, which takes a lot of time and are really hard to make with how novel ai works.
For that reason I wanna change things a bit, keeping up with 1 set per 2 days while trying to keep my twt acc with content is becoming too hard, some days I come home and I just wanna relax, I don't wanna think about content or I just don't feel like doing AI or maybe I just ran out of ideas, but I have to keep with the schedule (Totally my fault since it's the scheduled I made and decided to follow). These last months I have felt this more like a job I have to do, and it should just be a hobby, that's why I wanna do AI when I feel like it, I don't wanna force myself to do it.
Some might argue that well, it's a fucking job, I'm getting paid for it, and that's totally true, but I can do this without forcing me to do content all the time. Also, if I'm being honest, I don't really care if I'm being paid less, I'm happy with what I have already (I might regret this, tho), so the price for the Normal Tier sub will be changed back at how it was a few months ago, the Gold Tier sub will be reduced to 15$, which is not a big change, but it's something, I guess.
For twt, those who follow should already know, but I do 3 posts per day, the day I upload set I only upload 2 "twt images", so I post 5 "twt images" in 2 days, with twt images I'm referring to the images I upload here at the end of the month, which are normally around 300, they include 4 images per post, normally. They, again, take a lot of time but it's mostly because I try to do hard poses or outfits, I also spend novel credits to enhance the images and make them look better, which takes more time and money (I can't do this with normal sets because it would take too much time, and I'll probably become crazy in the process), people also ask for some hard things, so yes, even if I enjoy them a lot, since I'm normally doing something I want to, they still are a pain, so I'll try to reduce the amount of time I'm with them, I'm planning on uploading 1 or 2 per day instead of the usual, but I'll do more or less if I feel like it, honestly the whole idea behind this is I wanna feel this is a hobby and not a job lol.
About comms, not really much to say about it, I have finished all comms I took back in november, I think?, I just have to upload 2 of them. I'm not planning of opening more comms soon, atleast till the new version of novel ai drops and I get enough practice with it (and I make all the sets I want to do...). Comms won't see a reduction in price, but I'm planning of doing some changes which I'll explain when I decide to open again.
I think I'm not missing anything, the price of the sub should be changed the moment you are reading this. I want to say I'm not thinking about dropping AI or the Patreon, I just wanna have some free time for myself where I don't have to worry about the content. Even if I said I'll upload set per 3-5 days, I'll guarantee atleast 5 sets per month, which are the Gold Tier Requests, but there will be without a doubt way more sets than just 5 in a month, I would like to think around 7-9, so, I think it's a pretty good deal for you with the price change, I understand if some can be sad since they won't have as much sets/images as always, but I hope the price change will make you feel better
Will there be changes in the future? Maybe yes, maybe no, idk. As I said, I love doing AI and I would love to upload more if it were possible, but it's not right now. I'll use these days to take things slowly, it might come again the day when I can keep up with this schedule, but these months doesn't look like it, specially with how tired I am about the schedule (I'm talking like if I were old and this were to dissapear, but I swear it's not 😭).
If you read everything, thank you, it took a bit to gather my thoughts

This might sound crazy, but why not just draw the pictures yourself if generating them takes up so much time?
