Back sooner than I expected. This is a different sort of release, as the gofile link includes videos of me going through the process of creating these animations from the start. I don't have much else to say about this, as the videos have text commentary(except the last one where I got lazy and didn't feel like adding any - and it's currently rendering to not be over 1GB in size.). They aren't tutorials, but they just show my general process so give it a look if you're curious how lazy I really am and how quickly I can actually make one of these.
Instead, I'll announce something: In the near future, I will have some sort of way to support me. I've got a lot of reasons as to why I've never had a means to support me(and those still exist), but things are… well, they're getting expensive and it's not showing signs of stopping. While I'm thankfully not in dire straits, with the way things are I'm basically paranoid that something significant could happen(car problems, computer failure, appliance goes out, something medical, etc.) and not having the means to pay for it without getting more in debt and possibly having to work more. Especially if multiple things go wrong, which can happen. I figured I'd finally bite the bullet and just let people give me money if they feel like it, since I enjoy animating and plan to keep doing it for as long as I'm having fun, so might as well make the most of it. The goal is for nothing to change - changing the way I do things would be way too much of a hassle for me. I've also been doing this for over four years, so I'd feel scummy if I changed anything. That said, if you want to throw me some money, you'll be able to I guess. Again, nothing's wrong so don't feel like you have to or anything, and you should always take care of your own bills before someone else's, it'll just be there for people who want to support me for some reason.
The main thing is I'm not sure the best way to go about it. I know most would say Patreon, but some of my character choices technically break TOS and while I could just not post that content there, I know there's some sort of "off-site" TOS violations so I'm probably going to avoid the "will they/won't they ban me" headache. My main inclination is Fanbox, since I'm here on Pixiv anyway, but I'm also not Japanese so I don't know if that'd be a headache. Could also do Subscribe Star. I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this sort of thing. I also don't really have plans for exclusive content behind tiers or whatever, since again, I don't want to change things, but that might not be permanent. I won't release any content exclusively through these places, but I might do something where people can give some input on my output? I've got a couple ideas, but they won't be immediate. Still, not sure when it's all going live, but it'll be in a post.
