Welcome to my patreon and future plans!
🕑 Added 2022-12-31 17:11:12 +0000 UTCFirst of all, greetings to all of you and Happy New Year! :)
Thank you so much for choosing to support me: I really hope you will enjoy what I'll be posting here, and I think it is only fair for me to explain what I am planing on doing with this patreon: I want to be transparent, and this way you will know what to expect.
But also, if you have some propositions and ideas of content, you can leave a message bellow. :)
Art is now my full time job as a freelancer.
I am currently juggling between lots of things to make this work: prospecting for clients and art jobs, the whole administrative part of running a business, and now this patreon, so I hope I will be able to properly keep this pace.
While my ideal goal would be to make a full living as an artist, constantly running after the next gig, contract and client can be tricky (and that's if this artist gig works!).
Ideally, I'd like to be able to work on my personal art, what inspires and fulfills me, and what motivates me to keep creating, hence this patreon as a more passive revenue stream.
For a start.
Simply to get the hang of patreon, for the moment I will just stick to exclusive pictures and suggestion sketches. Note that I'll probably produce non-fetish oriented sketch ideas as well as I also want to do some SFW art.
I have to find the right balance between creating content for this patreon, and working as a freelancer to pay the bills. With my current workflow, a full picture can take me up to one week (approximately 40-50 hours), so one of my first goals will be to experiment to find a new workflow: try to gain some speed while not completely sacrificing quality. I hope to be able to produce at least one picture per month.
As for any public art I create, it will be available on patreon first for one entire month in advance. That includes comics: if I create fetish-oriented comics, I want them to become public as soon or later, even if they will be available on patreon first.
I might also use patreon for a few commissions.
More tiers.
I do hope to open up some higher tiers soon enough, once I'll know how all of this works: private streams, WIPs, Q&As ability to propose and/or vote on sketches that will become the exclusive art, maybe a discord server, etc...
Those tiers could allow me to keep juggling between patreon and contract work.
I am not a very fast artist, but if I manage to gain in speed and/or if patreon ends up working well enough, I hope to be able to bring in more content as I'll rely less and less on freelancing.
The ultimate goal: Kylian's adventure.
Ultimately, I want this patreon to at least partially finance my dream project, that I've been referring to as "Kylian's Adventure" for the time being.
...
Since you've all subscribed, I think I can finally tease you the proper name I have in mind, in case anyone wants to guess it: "Kylian's Adventure" official title is actually
"The _ O _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ S"
Good luck! :)
It's nothing original nor groundbreaking, it's just my own little adventure comic inspired by Avatar the Last Airbender, Wakfu, and many others.
And because it's my own little thing, I can't help but obsess over it, for better and worst.
All tiers, except the tip jar, will have access to any content related to "Kylian's adventure" in advance. The tip jar will still get patreon announcements and updates related to that project.
In other words, whether you are interested or not, and even if you're just here for the fetish art, you'll get "Kylian's adventure" content as soon as it'll start rolling out! :)
Most of the work that is left before starting working on the first pages is fixing a few loose ends and world building details (most of the story/script is written), and working on some of the main props and characters' designs. I have quite a large cast, and I'm still unsure how some of my characters will look like! ^^"
So with that said, the plan for this year is to start working on characters' and props' sheets and I might ask for your opinion on some designs. If all goes well, the first pages will start coming in at some point as well.
Once I'll start drawing that comic, I really hope to be able to complete at least one page per month: those also take me time (20-30 hours for a full page), so it's unlikely I'll be able to publish more than two or three pages per month while working on more content and freelancing.
But if this patreon is successful enough, then I'll be able to dedicate more time all of this and turn it into my fulltime job! :)
That's the plan. We'll see how that goes, and thank you again for tuning in! :)
Oh, and here is a small teaser of the first exclusive picture: get to the higher tier if you want to grab it!
