SubscribeStar 6 Month Update
I wanted to talk a bit about how the SubscribStar is going, now that we've reached 6 months.
Overall I'm incredibly happy with how much support I've received, we've reached 500 subscribers (250 Free, 200 Plus, 50 Standard), which has greatly exceeded my expectations when I started it, and makes it definitely worth the effort.
While it has reduced the time I can spend on making full length comics by a week per month, the tradeoff seems worth it, and it's been fun rather than stressful to switch back and forth between stories in progress. When I started this, I wanted to make sure the value felt good for the money, but didn't want to overpromise what I could deliver and add a ton of stress with what is essentially a 3rd job.
Since things are going well, I'm happy to announce that going forward I've decided to switch the two pinups each month for plus subscribers to full pinups with backgrounds, frequent M/F dominance, and a story blurb. In order to keep the amount of extra work reasonable, the two pinups will take place in the same new environment each month, either two ideas within the same theme, or two completely different ideas that happen to take place in the same environment.
The first pinup in this new style will be the July 7th pinup. I hope you are excited about this content improvement, and thanks so much for the support!

I love your work continue like this thank you!
Love the work. Very excited to see what you come up with next. In the Blackmail comic wish I could get posters like those of his works and yours. Amazing!
Thank you Hawke really appreciate the effort and details you put into your artwork. As a fan I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying this new platform you’re trying out. I look forward to seeing what you create next
With Subscribestar, you can make direct contacts with fans, have recurring revenues. And you don't have to rely on useless distributors like Dofantasy who sell your content for a exaggerated price to charge their overestimated margin. Without them, you'll sell more directly and make more money : simple as that !
If you regularly provide quality content, you will soon get enough supporters that will allow you to make a good living with your art.
Keep up the good work ; )
Dofantasy is for example selling each of your comics for 25 USD... plus it's posting them page by page on bdsmartwork. LOL
With subscribestar, you don't need them anymore.
Well I get paid every time one of my comics is sold on DF, as well as an additional payment for being displayed on bdsmartwork. Don't worry, no matter where you buy my comics, the money is directly supporting me to keep making more.
