Opinions would be greatly appreciated on this!

So recently I've become a lot more involved with animations, and that has very much slowed down content release in general, but particularly with posters.
Are people ok with the direction that's going? I don't wanna completely stop doing posters because they're fun, and I'll never stop taking commissions for them, but there's no doubt that animations are more popular.

I was considering scrapping the $1 tier at this point, or maybe merging it with the $5 tier, and to bolster anybody who would want to pledge up, I was considering possibly making a tier that gives you access to a dropbox folder that will basically act as a big archive of my stuff, I'll find all the pictures and animations I can and organise them into a big dropbox folder, so everything I make will be in one place, and be more easily downloadable.

Or, if anybody can think of any other tiers they'd like to see potentially added, please let me know here as well.

As always, I really appreciate your support, I love you all! <3

If you're somehow reading this man, I want you to know that I hope you're happy whereever you are. You were an awesome dude and I'm glad to have met you!

$20 tier people now have what is essentially that, it’s called the holy grail and it’s a Dropbox folder with literally everything I ever make.

Keep everything in a Google drive? So we have easy access and 1080p?

Along these lines I would recommend posters of existing and mid project animations instead of new projects altogether. Sure it saves a lot of time cleaning up a snapshot from an animation than it is to pose new models completely. Plus if you want to give back to the $10 tier you can make posters from requested angles or even better render additional angles not posted from previous animations. I for one know several pieces of your work I would LOVE more animated angles.

The dropbox folder is a great idea!

I like your works (So Keep Going!!!).

Well said!

what ever works out for you. Is fine with me.

On the topic of videos, beware of pouring so much into the quality of your animations that your release rate drops to almost nothing. I've seen that happen to many animators as their skills developed and they started creating more and more animations with greater technical detail, and while it's great they're putting huge amounts of effort into their work, not everything needs such details. Most people are here for the porn, not the next Emmy award quality animation. That said, if you want to go for that level of quality, go for it, just don't let it consume everything.

Posters are cool but I'm mainly an animation person. One thing to consider is trying to find a balance between the rate at which you were releasing posters before and what you could realistically offer if you shifted your focus to animations. They don't have to go away, you just have to set realistic expectations for yourself and then communicate those expectations with your audience so that they understand what you're able to provide without dropping quality. Unless you're willing to sacrifice some quality for posters in order to increase the rate, which is a perfectly valid option to an extent.

It worth the wait!

I love posters so much, and a big Dropbox archive would be appreciated. $5 being lowest also works for me

Exactly this view I have synonymous.

Quality over quantity, my dude, keep doing what you're doing!

I don’t mind waiting for animations, as long it’s a long one. As for the posters, you could always take screenshots of it and have it like a movie poster and photo sets of it. You could do a poll for the $5 dollar tier for posters and polls for the $10 tier for animation ideas. As for the tiers themselves it’ll have to be worthwhile. $5 will get everything (eventually) while $10 have everything as it happens, wips included,

this is fine.

I'm all for animations over posters and being in the $10 tier the Dropbox is a great idea!
