How do payments work on Patreon and SubscribeStar?
Both on Patreon and SubscribeStar, the payment system works like a free donation system.
How often will new content be posted?
Right now, my main focus is on improving the quality of my art, which means I won’t be committing to a specific number of pieces each month. Instead, I’ll take the time I feel is necessary for each artwork, so some months may have more pieces, and others may have fewer. I really appreciate your patience and support as I work on creating the best art I can!
How long does it take to create each piece?
Each painting or wallpaper takes between 5 and 25 hours to complete, depending on the complexity. It’s hard to predict exactly how long a piece will take beforehand, but I always aim to put in the time needed to achieve the best result.
How much time do you dedicate to creating art?
Currently, I dedicate around 2 hours a day during weekdays, and between 4 to 6 hours on weekends. However, the amount of time I spend creating art depends greatly on the success of Patreon or SubscribeStar. If there’s enough support, I’m willing to increase the time I dedicate, and who knows—if I can replace my current job with making art full-time, I’d gladly do it! For now, I have to balance creating art with other work commitments.
Do You use AI?
Yes and No, sometimes I will, and other times I will create something without it. It really comes down to what I want to do.
I perceive AI as merely another tool in the artist's arsenal. It shouldn't be the sole determinant of artwork but rather a tool that assists artists in bringing their visions to life, sometimes in ways they hadn't imagined initially. While I'm not averse to using AI as part of my workflow, I don't rely solely on it. Currently, I use AI-generated images as base sketches or reference images. However, I find that AI has its limitations in realizing my artistic vision. Therefore, I use AI images only as a starting point, allowing me to expand upon them and let my creativity flow.
As an artist, I believe it's crucial not to be stuck in the past, and AI appears to be the future of art. However, I also recognize that there's an abundance of "soulless AI images" out there. Nevertheless, I liken AI to a pen; while everyone can wield one to draw, it's how the artist uses it that makes the difference. I strive to imbue my artwork with a personal touch and distinctive style, even when utilizing AI as part of my creative process. Ultimately, it's this difference that I aim to achieve and celebrate in my work.
So Will you post AI generated images?
I don't believe an image that I've spent nearly 20 hours on manually should be labeled as solely AI-generated. I utilize painting, drawing, and a diverse range of skills I've acquired to craft an image. While AI serves as sketches or references for me, I always apply my personal touch to them. Simply generating an image feels mundane to me; I genuinely enjoy the process of painting and drawing. Therefore, you'll never encounter just an AI-generated image on this Patreon or my DA profile. I'm committed to manual work, which goes beyond mere photoshopping—it's genuine painting and drawing.
How do you view your NSFW artwork?
To me, nudity is a fundamental aspect of humanity. Our bodies are simultaneously elegant, beautiful, and awe-inspiring. I don't create NSFW art solely for eroticism; rather, I aim to evoke various emotions such as beauty, fear, and happiness. I want my artwork to be admired not just for its sensuality but for its inherent beauty as well. I don't aim to create explicit sexual or pornographic imagery. Although I'm not against it, it's not what I strive to create. Nudity serves as a medium, not the goal for my art.
Do you grant commercial rights?
No, I do not grant commercial rights. If you see my images being sold anywhere other than the sites listed below please report them as they are stealing my artwork. The only thing that I give commercial rights its to my 3D models. In all my posts I will clarify the licence, so please read carefully.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them below. As always, I wish you a great day!
