Moving into 2022, I wanted to give you all a look at what this year is going to look like. In addition to the monthly polls, I have only one "real" comic planned. "Real" being the key word.
The comic is going to be public and will be Destiny themed. I figured it's about time my Elsie Bray model gets its own comic, since I feel a lot of us have been waiting for that to happen. More details will be available as we approach that time. It will likely begin in March, and run the same production like Converted did, where I'm doing it as I go, and you guys get to provide immediate feedback.
In addition to that, you all already know about monthly polls. For the ~1-2 or so months that I'm creating the Exo Stranger comic, I may stop the polls since the comic will take my focus. However, there may be one poll image from the month prior, since I will work on that in the same month I run the poll.
Lastly, instead of crunching and doing another patreon exclusive comic at the end of the year, I want to reward those of you who have stuck around the longest and in turn, have donated the most. I've still got some things to think over. But, it will essentially take the place of the end of the year patreon comic. I can't imagine myself doing 3 comics per year anymore since, objectively, the quality has increased and they just take longer to make.
Side note: I've got one animation releasing here in 2022. It's short and simple, but it's a small step on the path where I hopefully can get to some more frequent, and spicy animations in addition to the renders. I hope to work up to the point where I can confidently produce good animations, so we'll see what happens...
Final Side Note: I feel like a price increase is warranted, since there again, has been an improvement in quality and content of art. Given this was my first full year using blender, I only recently felt this would be fair, so it isn't going to happen yet as to be fair to you guys who have recently joined. I plan to increase the Lewd Legion and Thiccheili tiers by $1 USD, to make the barrier for entry $5, which I think is about right to gain access to renders. Also, given comics in general will be fewer per year, I may have to shift one reward up to the Thiccheili tier, and out of the Lewd Legion tier. I don't like the idea of "taking something away" from that tier, however, there's only so many things I can do to make each tier valuable, and transitioning the Lewd Legion tier to be on par with the old $1 tier is probably for the best of the other tiers. This is all still up in the air until around March, and I will be sure to give everyone notice beforehand.
TL;DR
New Exo Stranger comic beginning in March, polls paused while that comic is being made, animation(s?) coming this year, and at the end of the year, a reward for patrons who have donated the most (Takes place of patreon comic). Tiers may be seeing a price increase in 6 months. Iron Lewds remain the same, Lewd Legion and Thiccheili may be increased by $1, and Lewd Legion may have a reward shifted to make it more of an entry level tier, having access to only renders and polls. Rewards for Lewd Legion tier are still undecided, and are subject to change.
