Hi, well, as I said, from October to now there's been a drop in subscribers, which is sad. It makes me wonder what I did wrong. Well, I checked, and yes, my Twitter account lacked more love and effort in October. I'm working on it. On the other hand, I did some research, and it's not just me; there's a general drop in subscribers. Other artists mentioned it, and that's how I knew it wasn't just me. It's a widespread issue. Even so, it's time to make adjustments. Adaptability is the soul of wit, and that's my turn. Everything is working so far, but there's always room for improvement.
1.- Adding NSFW to posts: Well, to be honest, I always thought I'd do this, but I've been avoiding it. I'll explain why my posts are only SFW. There are two reasons: 1) to prevent piracy, and 2) but the real and important reason is that I'm afraid of Patreon. Patreon doesn't have consistent criteria; one day it's on, the next it's off. So I thought, if Patreon gets angry one day, and my post is SFW, maybe it'll just be a warning and nothing more. And the older members will know that in February I did get a suspension for about a week, mostly for old posts from August 2024 and earlier. To date, I've made about four major style changes. I'd say the posts from the first or second generation were the ones you know. Anyway, that fear is why my Patreon posts are SFW. On Pixiv, censorship is mandatory, and on Twitter, I'm afraid of the shadowban, but I recently gave up on that.
Well, as you know, the posts are just samples; the full file must be downloaded as an attachment. But I won't deny that when I see other artists adding NSFW content to their posts, they get more comments and likes, and I'd like to do that too.
My conclusion is, starting tomorrow, I'll add NSFW content to posts I'm sure I can. If I have any doubts, it will be SFW, as it has been until now. You can still download the full file as before; it's just that some posts will have more NSFW images.
The content remains the same, it's the presentation format (the posts) that I'll adjust a little.
2.- Add animations, yes, from now on all posts, premium and special I will add at least 1 animation per character, for now a good animation I can 5 seconds, I'm seeing how to make them consecutive, to paste them and make them a little longer, it's something I'm still learning and practicing, but today I'm adding animations.
3.- Manhwa characters, I've actually done some that people have asked me to do, like royal requests, but now that I see there's interest, I'll try to make a list of possible characters for posts. In manhwa, it's harder to identify a character's popularity compared to anime or video games.
4.- I'm going to try making manga/comics/doujinshi. I tried it last time and I liked how it turned out; it was a Scaramouche one, though I couldn't upload it because Patreon would get mad, I know.
But I will try making some posts, but keep in mind that editing, creating a script, adding speech bubbles, etc., takes time. So I'll try making some short ones, and if they work, I'll make longer ones.
5.- A) Remaking old posts, honestly, creating new characters with a new theme and style each time is difficult because I try not to repeat ideas, but if it's the same character and theme in a new style it's feasible, I'll make a list and try some.
B) Themed weeks: I'll conduct a poll with topics like sauna, beach, soccer, selfie, etc., and all posts that week (except special or premium ones) will follow that theme. I'll try to do this once a month, as a trial run at first.
C) Character birthdays: I think I'll make a list, it could be just a greeting or a full post, that depends on the character, but for now I'll look for birthdays of Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero, Blue Lock, which would be my usual posts, then I could add ensemble stars and others over time.
Closing remarks: I usually post these messages at the end of the month, but with so many changes, it's best to start adjusting my posting schedule tomorrow, as soon as I finish the remaining royal requests.
Thank you so much to all my subscribers. I sincerely appreciate your support, which allows me to continue creating content. I'll try to make the adjustments I mentioned to add new content to my Patreon. See you tomorrow.
