March | Blog (Future Plans)

Warning: This blog post contains opinions.

As mentioned previously, the Limited Extra SubscribeStar slots form will renew mostly every month or so, depending on how much I have in waiting. The only upper limit is meeting the rough minimum withdraw threshold for the month. I'm never really sure of the exact amount needed due to fees, but when the amount is totaled up (usually like around the 3rd or so of the month) I'll be able to tell how many I can accept at maximum. If the form isn't posted by the 3rd, it is probably safe to assume I won't be doing it that month.

Currently I am working through some commissions before I get back to the comics. After I finish this next one I will bounce back and forth between the Mismagius comic and other things. It's a bit easier for me to work on the commissions/requests than the poll comics since I am more sure of what I have to do. Apologies for taking so long on the comics (again).

February | Blog -Adjustments to Public Source Files and Hard/Nightmare-

I mentioned this earlier in the month, but starting next month, all old public source files will be put in their own $2+ posts, and future files that are overdue will be available publicly for 1 week before being paywalled. If you were a Super Hard/Nightmare subscriber and managed to not download the source file for your request in that 1 week window, DM me and I'll hand it over. I typically have those posts tagged with SourceFiles or in the SourceFiles collection, so they should be easy to find.

I've also started uploading source files that have non-public edits more often. The quality varies wildly, as I was letting my insomnia demon guide my hand for some quick debauchery. Due to the amount of edits they sometimes contain, I only post the source file for my convenience, so you'll need a program that can open .psd or .csp/.kra (the .psd might export weirdly due to the layer count, but I have no idea) and have some slight knowledge of how to hide/view layers. I try to clean it up a bit so they are easier to navigate, but some of them are old and organized insanely. If there's an old image you want me to upload the source to, let me know (it might even have edits). For now, I am uploading in a chaotic order when I feel like it.

February | Requests + Mini-blog

Requests resume this month. You can post the request suggestion here or through the SubscribeStar / Itaku / Bluesky DM system. Hopefully, vacation mode ends properly and billing works correctly. I'm unsure of what to do if it doesn't. Edit: I manually ended it around 8:00 AM, and it appears to have worked for the most part. Payment seems a bit staggered so hopefully it gets everyone.

You have until the 14th to put in a request for the subscriber-only poll sequence. I haven't had anyone use the poll form really, so I'm suspending that (you can still DM me for the request.)

Super Hard form in next post.

Due to various circumstances, things in February might be delayed. I don't know yet. More information after the link.

January | Blog (Future price increase for [New] Hard/Nightmare subs and Commissions)

Starting next month, the price for future subscribers to the Super Hard ($12) and Super Nightmare ($30) tiers will increase by $2, so Super Hard will become $14 and Super Nightmare will become $32. As a thank you for the current subscribers, your tier price will remain the same as long as you stay subscribed. SubscribeStar is a bit jank with the tiers, so the old versions of those tiers have (Legacy) added to them to differentiate them from the newer higher priced version. I currently have no plans on adding extra slots, so the limited tiers will just be hidden for now. The $2/$5 tiers will remain the same price.

Also next month, I will increase my commission prices slightly. Basically, it will be an increase of about 500 Yen across the board with single full-sized images increasing by 1000 Yen. I'll provide more information with an updated sheet around that time. EX:

Comic Panel: 1000 -> 1500

Full Size Image: 3000 -> 4000

Extra Full Size Image/Character: 2000 -> 3500

Everything else seems fine, so next month requests will resume.

December | End-of-Year Things (Stats) + Extra

Merry Christmas (and other holidays). I intended on posting this earlier, but I ended up being delayed. The source files included in this post will be free until next year, where they will go in their own post. I plan on releasing the source of some more of my old images around that time. Edit: Extras removed and placed in new post.

This is also a reminder that next month is "catch-up" month, so if the "Vacation Mode" setting properly works, you won't be charged next month (so requests will be closed, but commissions will remain open). I'll be checking to make sure it goes off correctly. I am also missing 2 requests for the month.

November Blog | January "Vacation Mode" and Poll Results

In January, I'm going to activate SubscribeStar's "Vacation Mode", which is a function that disables payments for a specified time (you get to keep your limited slots). This is mostly intended to be a catchup month, so requests will be non-functional (commissions will still be open). Normal operations will resume in February. I haven't used the function before, so hopefully it "just works". Note: I'm not actually going on vacation. I don't like going places unless I have to.
