Important Changes by Nenana-Uso

It is my goal to be able to make my art for a living.
With this in mind, these last few months have revealed a number of issues in my current business strategy so I will be making some changes over the next two weeks.

Cancelling Sketchbooks
This month's sketchbook is the final sketchbook, at least for a while. They just have not been selling enough on my Gumroad store.
I will acknowledge that I have received a good amount of support for these and met many great people thanks to the themes I've presented. I may try to make Sketchbooks again once I have a larger following.

Studies and Personal Art
My intention since I graduated University this last Spring semester was to take the extra time to study and improve my style. Since then I have instead been focusing on trying to obtain and stay caught up with commissions just to try and meet small financial goals.
I'm setting things up so I can finally start studying, and I will also be able to share personal artwork that I create as I continue to build my artistic skills. So if you like the occasional works that I make on my own, then you'll likely enjoy my upcoming content.


Commissions
This will likely be the biggest change. My current price and order model worked to get spending money as a college student, but it does not meet my needs right now. This means I will be changing to a model with limited slots and prices that can help me better support my household. I can't rely on my boyfriend for everything.
I understand that this may slow down my commissions at first, and it may make it difficult for some of my regular customers to order commissions, but I'll be taking that opportunity to increase my studies and personal artworks. I may even see about making Art Packs to share if I get any fun ideas.


Leaving P4yp4l
I recently learned that one of the things that causes P4yp4l to lock and steal money from accounts is a sudden increases in income (yay for Bots). I've already been planning to leave P4yp4l, but this knowledge is finally pushing me to find an alternative option. If things go well, my income will begin to increase and that has a good chance to trigger the bots to block my account and seize my income. I refuse to let that happen.
Luckily, I found what seems to be a good alternative, and will be signing up for a different service within the next two weeks.

Leaving Patreon for Subscribe Star
Patreon works for many artists, but I've been hearing more and more about poor business practices and how they make it difficult for many adult-content artists to run their accounts. This is making me nervous so I'll be leaving that site and instead using Subscribe Star. I'll stick with Patreon for the rest of the year, just because that is where all of my supporters are, and up until that point they will receive the same benefits that I'm offering on Subscribe Star.
Right now I only have tiers for supporting my comic projects (se below) and I have just one goal at the moment, I will further develop my account as needed based on what my supporters want and what time I can afford to give.

Comics
One of my main projects I want to do is make comics. Right now I have 2 comics planned that I'm writing out the scripts for, one vanilla and one kinky. These comics will be readable on my Subscribe Star as I finish drawing pages. Once finished I will release these comics on my Gumroad Store and steadily release them publically as well.
The vanilla comic, "Remember the Snow" will be a longer form BL comic about a man meeting with a yeti that he met as a child. This will have themes of transformation near the end.
The kinky comic, "Changing Assistants" is about a University professor hypnotizing and preparing one of his students to be his new diaper-loving Teacher's Assistant.
You can choose to support one or both of these comics, whatever your preference.
If either of these ideas interest you, please follow the link to my Subscribe Star.


Thank you all for your support.
I look forward to being able to develop my skill and my art business.
