A few things I want to talk about
🕑 Added 2025-01-07 21:45:11 +0000 UTCHello~
I think I can talk about what's coming up for this year!
First:
I got into the habit of working 8 hours a day this year. This means that I'll be able to get mangas out quickly once a month. I'll take a break after the release of Reiko's chapter to see my father, then I'll get back to work.
I want celestia out absolutely by February. Otherwise it'll be early March.
Secondly:
I'm going to standardize the way I make manga. From now on I'll propose mangas of 10 to 15 pages maximum to be easier. I don't want to exceed 30 pages over two months.
So it'll be 10 + 10 + 10 or 15 + 15 or 20 + 10. You get the idea! Haha.
Thirdly :
there's one subject I'd like your opinion on, and that's my subscription prices.
Over time I've accumulated a lot of manga and the prices are very good. But with the rising cost of living and my desire to go to school in Japan next year, I think I'd need an increase of just 1€ or even 50 cents would be enough.
So I haven't made up my mind yet. I'd like to hear from you if you're interested in a raise or not. What I can propose is to do an illustration a month to compensate.
It doesn't matter if no one is interested. I'm not looking for an increase at any price. Right now I don't need one.
Fourthly :
I'll probably open the requests in April. I'll try to take on one person already to see how it works and I'll program my rules to avoid certain abuses. Haha.
Pew , sorry for the pavement. I wanted to talk about it. Don't hesitate to tell me what you think~.

Yes! I've got some ideas of my own to try!

I'd pay an extra dollar a month for an extra picture. Plus I think it would be a nice way to put to paper an idea you have that's not quite big enough for a whole comic. Maybe something like one of the girls transformed or partly transformed and another girl reacting in the same picture. It could be a cute little extra monthly or every other month.
Zobbie
Yes, that's my fear too. That's why I don't want to rush things. I also want to see how I'm going to evolve this year.

I currently pay 11.50 a month, so raising it to 13 would not be unreasonable. Then think about changing your 6 dollar tier to be 7.50 and giving access to the monthly pages only would not be unreasonable. Moving the WIP sketches and poll access to the 13 dollar tier would also not be unreasonable. As you said you do have an extensive back catalog so getting access to everything for 13 is good value. That said raising prices might also mean losing subscribers. So it is a balance to consider when doing such. If you lose more money in people not subscribing monthly over what you gain in raising prices. Maybe play with prices for a few months before you need the money and see how it balances out before cementing anything.

I would probably make an announcement with my rules and ask who would like a commission.
Zobbie
Thank you very much! It won't be for a while. I'll let you know in advance so you can have your say. IF really necessary, I'll raise the price.
Zobbie
Mmmh, I'm not sure how to choose? Can I be first come, first served? Don't know yet.
Zobbie
Mmmh, I'll have to have a look. but I'm afraid I'm going to get all tangled up with all these tier. haha
Zobbie
Haha , it's already good
Zobbie

Do whatever you need to do. You are a talented artist, and you not only deserve to make a living from your craft but also make enough to be able to pursue your dreams and ambitions in life. If you feel you need to raise your prices to fund your education and keep up with the rising cost of living (something I know we all struggle with these days) then you absolutely should. I for one have no issues with an increase. Keep up the great work!

Have you already found a "test person" for the commissions, or are you searching for somebody? Also, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your fantastic comics.

Maybe have another tier that gives access to all and have one tier that's like just the more recent stuff? Idk

I can't speak for anyone else but I recently got a job so I'm down to pay more if you need it lol it's worth it

Nah your good o fully understand what you are saying and if you decide to raise your prices by a 50 or a 1 I wouldn't mind to continue to support you thank you for all your hard work you do
