September! Updates, roadmap, more (Patreon)

Hey folks! 

First of all, I want to apologize for how slow I feel I've been. Quite frankly, I can't blame anyone for lowering a tier or leaving at the moment--I really -want- to be doing more, but I'm running face-first into the issue of age, health, and IRL family and other obligations that I wasn't really expecting...

When I moved last year, I thought it would open up a lot of possibilities and energy, but it's also sucked up a LOT of time and energy too. I'm not nearly as productive as I used to be, or would like. I try not to think about it, it really gets me down. You all who support my work, largely do so for my comics and characters--I assume--of which I feel are the things I want to explore and expand on most.

The two biggest mainstays here are Predators, and the sci-fi world I've made. Obviously the current goal is to finish Predators 2, it's been going on far too long, and when I have months like August where I get -zero- work done on it, it's stressing. I don't think I can keep stacking on the obligations like requests, pinups, other images for too much longer. It's taxing to be swapping projects constantly, and while nothing's changing yet, I think when Predators 2 finishes, I'm going to be adjusting my layout quite a bit to really, REALLY become story-focused and drop some of the extra work obligations like requests, votes, etc, and just say "I'll do as much as I can". But...I'll think more on that later.

TL;DR:

In September, I'm going to be doing as much comic work as I can. I want this to keep going, It still has fun, good things planned in it, and I'm pretty sure that once it's over, the sci-fi story will get its' start. Extra doodles and things on the side always help, but I keep letting my energy get sucked into them, and while they turn out fun, they take up too much time (Rivet).

So I hope y'all are looking forward to further the comic, and the sci-fi world/story/setting that I actually need a name for...because I want these things to grow on me, and you, for what is worth supporting. Thank you for the pledge so far--it means the world to me.

Ay boss we understand your situation take your time we are not going anywhere!

No pressure, I appreciate the art and characters. I'll be honest I mostly use your PSD files to see how you create your art. Been trying to get better myself, love your art style.

Rick

We are with you! You've been working for years and we entirely understand the stress you have from how prolific you've been. Take the time you need, I can't speak for everyone but I'll never waiver. If your career becomes primarily an Adult Comic artist with your two favorite worlds I'll be gleefully looking forward to a bright future of your works.

I'd rather have time slip away because you do something you enjoy than time slip away because of something dreadful. Life happens and sometimes some things surprise us (for better or worse). Don't feel bad about it.

Zero hard feelings, and no pledge adjustments necessary. Your content is solid gold, whether it's what you want to draw or some kind of crowd sourced topic, so make it work for you! No sense wearing yourself out to turn your Patreon into an interactive carnival game. If all you did was explore your world and draw all the smut that seems to naturally happen there, that would be more than enough. Don't be so hard on yourself, we're all here to watch you shine :3

Very understandable circumstances and I hope others can understand also. Looking forward to what you have planned in the near and far future.

Cult of Dust

You commit to doing a ton. It will probably help to cut back

Sorry you're feeling the grind, Fluff. I love all your pin-ups and R34 stuff, but I can certainly understand wanting to have time to work on your own things and still have time for a healthy work/life balance. I'm super excited to finally dive into the characters and lore of your sci-fi project! If that's where you want the focus of this patreon to be from now on, I'm still onboard 100%. Keep up the great work! :D

Life happens! What matters is that you yourself are getting along alright. I've been a patron for years at this point and all I want is to just support you no matter what, you definitely deserve it after so much hard work. I don't think you could get me to drop or lower my pledge at this point even if you tried. I'm actually really excited to see what that change in layout will be like! It'll be good for you in the long run and I cannot wait to see more of your sci-fi world being fleshed out~

I only recently was able to throw money at artists that I particularly like, you are the only one among them that I have bought physical items from. If needed, take a break to recharge. There will still be fans (I'll certainly still be here) that will understand and be patient. Good things come to those who wait, if they take the time to wait for them. The inverse is true too; take the time to make good things great, including the time taken to care for yourself.

Justice Taylor

I'll support you unconditionally. Also can your scifi world be named something like "Nytro Tech" or Ara Tech? It's like the title character mixed with robo tech. Pleanty of your fans recognize those two OCs, especially Nytro I think. I feel like Nytro gives off that ragged hero vibe and is potentially most relatable.

Tavi

No worries, im in it for the long run! Take as long as you need, and be sure to take time to take care of yourself!

Antoine Davis

It's alright Fluff, life is very very very unpredictable and things can be stressful. I understand completely if you want to cut some things, especially if it helps you which is what matters.

Nothing wrong with taking things slow or being busy, you do what you can, I wont stop supporting you!

Patrick Bradley

I think its smart to focus more on the story/world building and the characters because that's what you do best IMO. And hey you can do the odd pinup maybe once a month or whenever you get a breather, we won't judge you for it just focus on what's best for you and we will be here

Nuwa Nightstone

I'm here for Warning, and Warning related content! Love me some smolcute, you take as long as you need till you get back in the productive moods Fluff, also if you want some of my money... I'd love something with Warning

I honestly think you should focus on whatever project brings you the most enjoyment and if that means the rest of September or the rest of the year is focused on finishing the Predators 2 comic then so be it. I think our votes and voices should have some say in the content you produce but not while causing you to feel stressed about not producing enough content. Maybe focus on the comic one month and then the next you have fun whether it's a pinup, request images or world building art for your sci-fi world/predators world. I would like to believe we are all here to support all of your art and not just the comics or pinups.

Scappo

We're here for you my dude! Honestly you're not the only one who feels like this and it's comforting to see I'm not the only one feeling the creep of time, age, and diminishing productivity crawling up my spine ^_^;;... That said, hopefully we'll both be able to get out of the doldrums soon and find a fresh wind to sail on!

Ladies Man 7777

Would love to see more comics, Ayn n Ara n more. Ok if requests n comishs get reduced or cut out. Plz if you need help with the comics hire others to color or do lines or anything for you

Daki Suggester

I want to support you specifically so you can sleep in and be lazy, please make sure my contribution goes to the sleeping in and being lazy budget. As long as you post a lewd furry art once in a while, I'm getting my monies worth. It can be comic or pinup or whatever you want. It should be whatever you want.

Diamondstorm

Firstly I understand and sympathize with your drop in productivity. Past couple of years have been wild for everyone, and I've seen a lot of artists slow down. But you also have an amazing history of success and have more than earned a bum year or two, at least that's how I see it. I won't be dropping my sub any. Second, try not to feel too overwhelmed by all your projects. You're only one guy, and between the pinups, requests, comics, world building, dakis, and other projects, your plate is plenty full! It's only natural for some items to get ignored for long periods. I personally came here for the monthly pinups. I love seeing your fanart of popular characters, or your own OCs, in full color beauty! I know you've sorta moved away from those to work on other things, and I'm ok with that. But please don't think that a your time is being "wasted" when you work on one thing versus another. All your art is good, no matter the form or presentation, and the world isn't going to end if you go a month without putting out a new comic page. TLDR: Your fans aren't picky so don't stress over what to projects to work on. Also take care of yourself :)
