Updates and changes to this Patreon ✨
🕑 Added 2022-10-14 16:29:33 +0000 UTCHi y'all!✨
As the title says, and as I mentioned a couple months ago, I'm changing up stuff on this Patreon starting from November 1st!
I'll start with a TL;DR version of the changes, and then give you all some context and info below~
TL;DR UPCOMING CHANGES:
- NEW REWARD: Early access to DD episodes! (All tiers)
- NEW REWARD COMING SOON: NSFW Diamond Dive comics ($5 and above)
- NEW NSFW SYSTEM:
- Monthly release of NSFW content moved fully to $5 tier.
- After a month, NSFW content gets archived (accessible only in $10 tier) - Sunsetting HD Panels and Step-by-Step shots
- Small detail, but: changing tier names to Witch, Demon, Archive
WHAT IS IN THE $2 TIER THEN EXACTLY?
- Early Acces to DD episodes
- wips/previews of upcoming DD episodes
- occasional wallpaper edits of DD panels
SO WHAT GETS RELEASED IN THE $5 TIER?
- 1 NSFW sketch; and either 1 full-colored illustration, or 1-2 pages of a NSFW comic PER MONTH.
AND WHAT IS IN THE $10 TIER?
The $10 tier now functions as a highly packed, full-access archive of:
- My entire NSFW art backlog (40+ illustrations and sketches)
- All past rewards (HD Panels & Step-by-Step shots)
- All Page Format episodes of DIAMOND DIVE
PLUS:
- NSFW Art published in $5 tier gets archived (accessible ONLY in $10 tier) after one month
- NSFW Comics become archived when all pages are done.
These are all effective from the 1st of November, so if you are on lower tiers and want to save rewards that will be moved to the Archive, please do so before the end of the month!
🌱And as promised, some more thoughts from me in the form of a QnA, starting with the elephant in the room lmao:
WHY ARE YOU CHANGING THE NSFW PRICE? (Are you crazy lmao?!)
Because I want my art to be more affordable. I see a lot of you in exit surveys saying it was really hard to leave my patreon, but you HAD TO, or saying you try to sub every second month to save a bit, because you know, world-wide recession and all that, so I hope making my work more affordable can ease that a little. I know this might seem counterproductive from my end, cause I still need to make a living of course... but I believe that little streams do make great rivers, so hopefully this will be beneficial for all of us in the long run!
And to make sure people who wish to stay on $10 still get their money's worth, I changed it so that while monthly art is available for $5, only $10 gets access to my entire backlog, and future finished pdfs of nsfw comics.
WHAT ABOUT THE DD HIATUS YOU MENTIONED SOME TIME AGO?
Good you asked! :D
The Mid-Season Finale of Diamond Dive will become public on the 15th/16th of November. After that, I will go on hiatus on Webtoon and Tapas to work out the second half of the season, but my patreon will stay active!
So basically, while I'll be gone publicly, y'all will get updates and wips about everything I do! (Plus of course, I'll still be posting all my monthly NSFW content.)
Whether it's script excerpts, page previews, backgrounds, character designs, whatever I work on for the second half of season 2, will be shared here. (Without major spoilers of course).
WHAT ABOUT THE EARLY ACCESS? HOW WILL IT WORK?
AH, Early Access! I've been meaning to give y'all this reward for so longgg but never had enough buffer to safely do so. But that's gonna change after the hiatus, yay!🎉
To show you how EA posts will be done in the future, I will release the last 2 updates remaining BEFORE the hiatus as early access.
So, on the 16th this month, when episode 34.7 goes up on Webtoon/Tapas, y'all here on Patreon will also get Episode 34.8!
Then next, when 34.8 goes up on webtoon/tapas on November 2, y'all get 34.9 - The Mid-Season Finale.
After that, EA will pause a bit, because of the hiatus. You will still see work-in-progress and behind-the-scenes stuff as I mentioned above, just not full episodes, since I won't have any to share lmao
But! As soon as I'm ready to update publicly again, y'all here on Patreon will get TWO episodes released early, so you can stay ahead of WT/Tapas updates at all times. VIP treatment y'allllll ✨
WHY ARE YOU SUNSETTING SOME REWARDS?
To optimize my workflow! I recently changed DD episodes to be 4 pages long instead of 3, so to be able to spend more time on the comic itself, and to run the NSFW rewards as well, I need to sunset some stuff that doesn't seem too popular, but still takes up time.
The step-by-steps for example were fun to make, but they became pretty repetative, and I think it's time to stop them. I will put them all into one gallery so y'all can find them easily if you want to check out my process, but I'm not going to publish new examples going forward.
Same about HD Panels, they were very loved in the beginning, but became kinda redundant slowly. Instead, I will upload Wallpaper versions of my best panels whenever I can.
WHEN IS THE NSFW COMIC LAUNCHING?
I will start working on the first NSFW comic as soon as DD goes on break/hiatus, so next month! I have 3 story ideas, I need to design their outfits andthen I can put up a poll and let y'all choose which one we should see first. But until the first few pages are done, I will continue to upload the usual full-color nsfw monthly art, don't worry.
I will be posting 1-2 pages of the NSFW comic every month. The cover will be a full-colored illustration, while the pages will be the traditional greyscale doujin look.
Whenever a comic has fully finished, I will be posting my monthly colored nsfw art again while I'm developing the next story. Rinse and Repeat.

I really hope this new system will work out nicely, I can't wait to share the new rewards and my plans for the second half of the season with y'all!

Agh it SO can be. I just changed a bunch on mine and panicked my way through it hahaha. But, so worth it. You're doing great stuff here 💜
Madamka
Aaaa, thank you so much Veni! Changing stuff on Patreon is always super nerve-wrecking, so I'm very relieved to hear your thoughts!💖
Venicia Jenivelle
All of these changes are SO smart!! I think that bundling some of these rewards together, and making others more accessible, will absolutely benefit you and everyone else way more in the end. Very excited to see what's to come!! (Also I am so into the new tier names!!)
Madamka
