ASK ME/Suggestion post/asking to my patreons
🕑 Added 2020-08-14 22:02:31 +0000 UTCHello comrades!
Something what i did in long time its ask to the patreons how are feeling about the provided data and "services"
since i did this kinda question Long time ago and a lot of stuff need be changed or not in benefit of the patreons,
i'm surprised to be one of the most successful patreons of this kind of Art in this specific community and im infinitely grateful of it!
However A great power came with a great responsibility, take care of my main income it's one of the most important task and that means ensure you as patreon receive the best service what i can bring on, after all, that is my job.
you know, actually, Patreon subscription works actually like a "early access" and "monthly content " subscription, the "sell" method it based on the the amount of people who actually are subscribed instead of sell individual models, based on the Stock of the actual models,
that is why i try to keep the stock of at least 2 or 3 models always for newcomers
However, Eventually all models are getting free, this year was busy as all other but was plagued of troubles too,
At this this time
Blaze the Cat
Freya Crescent
Mora
Sly Cooper/ Carmelita montoya Update
Foxes Update
and currently Krystal Fox and Miyu are the models what was added in 2020 to the date where January was a Shitty vacation month and the delay of the foxes in July affected negatively in my research time, specially the rigging for blender, actually the 3D Animation Course what i'm doing in the "IMAGE CAMPUS" and the Pandemic event, actually affects my remaining times and my mood too (we are into the day 140 of strict quarantine),
Also, even with that the content creation still working normally, allow me some room to improvise the "services" what i'm bringin on, what can make my job more complex or more easy but ensuring the quality of my models and the further distribution
also its important to respond to this post to measure the amount of activity and prevent some disconformal chases,
so there are some questions to you guys what i hope you respond in a honest way
1: How Do you find the actual services and products provided?
i need to know if the models are to the expectative what are you waiting for, but mostly i'm interested in the flaws, of course there are some limits to the SFM engine but i need to know if there are something what actually bothers in the models in general or in the final package of my usual models
2: what are your intentions for the pledge?
Aswell im aware what not most of my patrons actually uses the models, so i need to know if these incomes are for get the models or for purely support therms, This is important because if its unconditional support what maintain the actual levels of patreon income, it encourage increase the benefits of the free demo releases maybe early than the full releases, like it's the chase of Tennessee and next Krystal
3: what are your posture to the free releases?
In the other coin of the situation, if it's not the chase, i need to know what you think about the actual free releases , its ok to you after some time people have access to the models?
what you think about the free releases chase like Yennsee and Krystal?
its important to mention, Yennsee its a signature character, as Alilkira, that is why she become free
In the krystal Chase, to prevent some troubles i decided make the main nude model and the loincloth will be free when it done, also the other suits and Miyu will be patreon models
But what are your opinions of this situations in future models? since in some cases i can actually create models for free fair use but some props what are directly vinculed to that model but will be 100% compatibles, allow me not just prevent some lawsuits and protect my accounts for specific characters specifically the Cof cof Nintendont ones....cooooooooffff Poke coooffm cooofff Mons COOOF.. oh jesus what horrible cough of course at cost of the patreon exclusivity for the main body but allowing the model exist from my mand, of course chases like these will be rare and i will keep a balance of benefits to my patreons but remember too but opening a small gap for characters what i used to reject for fear :3... this is for sake for the community too :3
however all depends of what are you thinking in these ideas
4: Models access
as you know the war against leaks are a 2nd thing to prevent the devaluation of my effort, while some people supports me unconditionally, i try to understand what not everyone can access the patreon content, sometimes don't see fair this happens and probable many patreons too, however i can't sacrifice the flexibility and easy access of legit patreons and the further updates and quick support, and i understand what some patreons can find this the process of wait the reply, the shitty instructions and sent a message to receive the content kinda traumatic, and probably the cause of why some patrons leave too, and mostly its bothering me do and put all patrons in the "suspect" line thanks for the actions of 2 or 3 assholes it just don't worth it
I want some feedback of that experience obtaining models and maybe find a way to go back to the old method or find a easier alternative, since i can't post files directly here since Yiff Party leak them quickly so i need be clever
for now these was my questions to you:
of course this post are too to mainly open a communication channel and encourage everyone stay up to date about the future projects and please DON'T BE FEAR TO ASK,
this post is for that, any inconvenience, question, or suggerence you have, please Drop a question here or in discord :3 i will really appreciate it and will happy to respond your doubts!
as always thanks for your time and your support! i love ya!
-WM OUT!

1) I think the services are fine, as a SFM creator having more models makes for more choice for images, and having 'famous' individuals makes for growth. There's a saying for artist that Commissions are for money, fan art is for growth so having figures to fan art helps. 2) As mentioned above, I've been enjoying working in SFM so my intention of pledging is to continue to gain fun models to work with that it's unlikely anyone else might provide. 3) I think the free release structure is fine, It's kinda like crowd funding, those of use that pledge get the model first, might entice others to pay for it as well, but if those that can't really offer anything want it they can eventually get it in time. 4) As one that kept eye on that U-18chan thread about 3D models, that now seems to be gone, I can say the current method works fine for me, an extra step for added security works fine. Shame to many bad apples want to spoil the bunch. Tho I'm generally against exclusivity like some folks do, as it just helps promote not only loss, but also more then one of a model type when others could be made, like I'm sure that's part the reason the death claw s wanted at all from you. I think this format so far is fair to all parties.
