[ASK]

I’d like to ask for your opinion. Leaving my art behind a paywall feels like a bit of a waste, so I’m considering making some of my older artworks public—maybe about two months before the next reward comes out. However, I’ve been hesitant, since some of you paid specifically to access them here. I truly appreciate your support, and I don’t want it to feel wasted—so I wanted to ask for your thoughts before going ahead with this idea. Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!

early access, make them big bucks my doot, just keep doin ya thing

Alcoholicorn

Ah, I understand. 👍

Maphisto_86

yeah, i think for 500 yen a month 2 month is good

Rou

between 2-4 month, seems great, 2 month can seem long already to wait, its hard to choose but sunderstandable also yes your art needs to be more public t oget more people to join in \o/

I would not mind it if you did share art on public places like pixiv or DA. As long as you supporters over here get the first look at them. Because you talent needs to be shown more so that more people can enjoy it ^^

Sometimes people’s suggestions are too extreme or too detailed—it actually worsens my art block, since I feel pressured to work on the voted idea. This is why I never open commission slots to the public

Rou

Aside from early access to your art, we could vote for content ideas you give us or we provide as general subjects. Nothing specific you need to provide us but some extra creator - supporter interaction which helps to alleviate art block.

Go for it, “early access” is totally fine with me : )

laza

Or completely, I had to ask you to get hold of two files that never wound up on any of them. But with the Early Access bits, it does mean that more people can overall see your things eventually.

i see, i'll think again about that, thank you for your suggestion

Rou

the sad panda is not updated fast xD

Rou

what is your suggestion? all i can offer is early access

Rou

Go for it! The “early access” model is really nice both in advertising and getting your stuff out to the world, and ai agree that your stuff is too good to be kept here >w>

It's quite backlog, I only got here in 2021 too and I think there was already quite a backlog then

The new comer

What if... You make a difference of 4 months, instead of 2? I don't know, It's only a small suggestion so the suscribers would have a nice difference of early access. By the way, I love that small Hana. It would be so nice and funny if that Hana chibi were like the artist's cute pet or something like that xd

Mukuro

Go for it! I'm paying for Early Access to your art as it is, since most of it eventually winds up on other sites, like Sad Panda. I will continue supporting for Early Access to those arts.

I am a supporter from Japan.Free publication of paid works to attract new users is not a bad option. However, I think it is necessary to provide better treatment to users who pay to support the project so as not to be unfair.

Cute Hana😍

DOCTOR

Thank you for all the positive feedback, guys! I'm feeling more confident now about sharing my old art publicly. but since there's quite a lot of it, I'll try to do it one by one slowly.

Rou

Go for it. Consider it early access :3

seawolf03

Honestly go for it.

I think it depends really While having art you made go public sounds like a win, I can understand the hesitation with the risk of losing subscribers who are willing to wait I think though that some of your earliest works however, if you still have them, would be the best place to start, as some may not have seen them before

Qaza3

I'm one of the supporters who paid specifically to access the full catalog of posts, so I'll go ahead a drop my personal opinion of this: I wouldn't mind if you did that. For a while before I started my support, I actually scoured free sources for your art like ehentai. After being dissatisfied with how long it took for your new art to make its way there, I decided to start supporting to get instant access. I have no doubt in my mind that using your old art as your "advertisement" so to speak would also motivate others to come and join the party.

如果可以公开一些很久的作品,咱是非常支持。我的消费卡只能赞助这个网站的

孤傲的小龙

I do not mind if you release paid content to the public a bit later. It would still leave the fanbox like an early access thing. No matter what though, I'll certainly just keep supporting either way

This is a very niche fetish and I'm paying mostly to help artists continue what they do, I'm not really concerned about posting publicly. Time-gated exclusivity is a good compromise.

eppie

I am personally here just to support the artist and don't mind things being released publically immediately or just slightly time gated. Will continue to support regardless :3

SuzakuBlitz

A lot of artists eventually release older works to the public. The incentive to pay is getting them early

kingyosh1

I'm stuck on the exact same thing! I want everything I do to be public, but then what's the point of paywalled content... Anyways, as a fan of you, when I subscribe, it's only because I wanna see your art in the moment, I dont really think about whether it's gonna be free in days, weeks or months ^^ I get to see your art instantly + I can support a great artist, it's a win win

Marima

Go ahead. Those arts deserved to be seen by more people.

As a fellow artist who creates Uw content, I totally get you!😊🙏 I believe it would be awesome to see people more of your work. As an artist I use a method to do the same thing when I want to publish my paywalled past artwork publicly. I alter some of the parts of the illustration. Like adding a swimsuit or some extras. With this, I could share the piece with small alterations and protect the older one’s originality. 😊🙏 With this way, people who can’t afford pledges see a little bit altered past artwork meanwhile the supporters can still see the original. Also I don’t believe that anyone is going to judge you, since you are a master artist😊🙏 You can just slap them publicly if you want to!😊😊 But if you still hesitate about this topic, the method I wrote could mostly work😊🙏

KRONWATERS

I personally don't mind myself if you're going to switch to an early access model. If anything these days I feel like I'm subscribing more so I can have the monthly reward all packed up and easy for me to archive lol.

Xing Agito

The model of paying for early access is commonplace in today's world, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Also, I feel like I'm paying for your abilities, so I don't think I'm in a position to offer my opinion on how you choose to release your work in the future.

ふじはじめ

I don't mind, I pledge to someone else that does that just so I could see their work sooner
