Merry early Xmas, new side renders and gumroad coupon available!

Hey. I have returned with one brand new Xmas side render, and one older one that is technically new as far as non-patrons are concerned; so kind of two… maybe three, since the one older render has two versions. Sorry I don’t have more to post right now – but the weather has been a total mess, as I am sure many other Americans are aware of right now… especially on the northern east coast. That, combined with the messy reclassification of my Patreon earlier has left me with very little energy/drive – but I did at least get one new Xmas render done (as seen below); so at did at least accomplish what I aimed to, technically. I did also post that one older Patreon bonus render that I was forced to remove from my Patreon page a couple weeks back – no point in letting that go to waste; and there are still a couple more things like that for later on as well. (I wanted to do another side render, but I have been far too spent this past week for that.)

Also, as the title suggests – I have a new gumroad coupon for everyone, which I really wanted to put in/up since I skipped black friday this year… but the whole year has been a mess for me all around – with all kinds of changes to how I do pretty much everything related to this project; so it kind of fits that even fairly standard things are going a bit different in all kinds of ways.

Anyways, the code this year is: rlaxmas2022

And that will/should get you 40% off anything in my gumroad shop – so use it while you can! I will disable this code early on January 1st (EST) 2023, as per usual with these sales. (You have about a week; let me know if there are any issues.)

My gumroad page is of course, here: [https://gumroad.com/redleatherart]. And while there are preview images on there for the mini-sets, I  strongly encourage people to check my master mini-set catalog (here [https://redleatherart.com/wp/?page_id=2758]) to help get more information and proper/full previews for all of my mini-sets. 😀

Thanks to those of you who voted in the polls on the right, and if you have not yet done so please do that; and I wish all of you a Merry Xmas in advance (at least as of EST time) and hope you have a nice holiday. 🙂

Anyway, if you want to help support/motivate me in making more content, you can check out my redone Patreon page here (as I said, more changes likely coming soon): https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Any interest, comments, follows, likes, votes, or support really does help. It is hard to keep making new stuff when nobody seems to care. Following me on DA/slushe/pixiv/twitter/whatever doesn’t cost anything – and that all does help spread the word about my work… so please consider doing some of that if you haven’t already.

Patreon page successfully reclassified; not sure about new details yet though.

Hi guys, sorry for the gap in posts but I have been busy this past week with this. As the title suggests, I have successfully gotten my patreon page changed to SFW – which means I can keep it for the time being. However, I am still trying to figure out what I can do in terms of tiers/rewards with this new page… if anything. I can only post the “simpler” things on here from now on – along with text updates; but that is just the way it has to be since Patreon changed their policy again… hopefully this works out somehow.

Not much to announce yet in terms of new stuff or other progress this month; just getting this reclassification mess done was the most important thing since the cutoff was the end of this year. It also took more out of me than I thought, since I had to physically check over 400 posts… (and delete a third of them or more) due to not being specifically told what the issue with my page was when I first applied to have it reclassified.  (I first applied last friday – and had to message them back twice, waiting a full weekday each time.)

It probably would have been easier to just give them my personal information instead of removing half my posts and reclassifying my page – but I am someone who actually stands up for what they believe; and I believe that is completely pointless bullshit that endangers all their NSFW creators  – and puts them all at risk of full identity theft for no valid reason… (they allege it was a demand by mastercard to help prevent abuse/underage content – but anyone doing those things would obviously just lie and use someone else’s ID, which makes it entirely pointless) so fuck that shit. Not like I had much of anything to lose, honestly – but even if I did, I just don’t see myself going along with that crap. (Being someone with integrity who actually stands up for what they believe has some drawbacks.) I hope other Patreon creators in the same position are doing ok, and that nothing bad happens… but giving out your personal information and a photo ID can never end positively – and potentially end very badly.

I hope to be back with some new side renders for the holidays if nothing else… but we will have to see exactly what happens in the coming weeks; the weather here is really bad right now, (so I can’t do much at the moment) and I hate to promise/suggest things that might not happen.

Patreon page neutered, further changes likely.

Hi again. Sorry about the slight gap in posts, but I have had a lot to do, and the weather has not been cooperative, which as most all of you probably know by now, that tends to give me horrific headaches. I don’;t have any new visual content for you guys right now, as I have just been to busy/stressed to make anything this month. Some of you may also have noticed that I didn’t bother with my usual black friday gumroad sale this month… and that is mostly just due to me still being totally out of it all month (I honestly forgot until late evening on black friday, and decided it was effectively too late by that point); but it also doesn’t help when I think back and remember that nobody really bothered getting anything most of the time anyway. I may do a gumroad sale for Xmas in December, not sure yet… but there is a whole lot about all of this that I am not sure of at the moment.

Quick slightly positive note, there were at least some votes in the polls this month, so thanks for that – but more is always good, so do please vote in the polls on the right if you have not already done so. Not sure if I will leave one up again, or do totally new ones next month… we will see what happens in a few days.

I will see what I can do next month – I hope to have a couple new side renders for Xmas… but we will see what happens. I don’t want to make any promises, as I have been trying to find the time/energy to finish LITC 6 for months and months now… and the past few months in particular have just been intensely draining on me for various reasons, despite me not making mini-sets anymore; life has just not been cooperative, and I constantly worry about so many things… it is just a mess. Additional side note – deviantart seems to have either shit the bed entirely or possibly malfunctioned, since effectively my entire DA page (including my favorites from other artists) is currently blanket labeled “Mature Content” when not logged in  – when most of it actually is not…? Really unsure wtf is going on there – as there has always been a flag when you submit any image to DA that marks it as such, (which seemed fair enough) but now they seem to have put in some trash algorithm or some such that apparently auto-flagged damn near everything for some retarded reason. Not that I thought much of DA anymore after the eclipse fiasco years back, (much like DAZ, DA was a nice site that got bought by malicious company and turned to the dark side) but this is just a new and intensely sad low for them… I hope it actually is a mistake, or they likely just sank their own battleship.

In other, also sad news, I have had to gut my old Patreon page as previously mentioned, and try to make it SFW – in order to continue using Patreon since I refuse to risk full identity theft for no valid reason. I am not even positive on the status of it just yet… since I cannot post anything NSFW anymore, and therefore cannot give out any real rewards per se, it is just a tip jar at the moment. (I wanted to make it a pay whatever you want tier, but that apparently isn’t an option.) I even removed the old commission deal tiers, since nobody ever bothered with them anyway. (I may bring them back if things turn up, not sure.) I may make additional tip tiers with slightly higher denominations, just to allow for more support if desired… not entirely sure yet – I am still trying to figure out my plan/options.

There has been a ton of stuff to think over with this, and most all of it is intensely depressing. (Still not sure what will even happen to my other content right now…) I will likely edit that page further next month, with different cost tiers of tips or something, but we will see what happens – a lot of this also depends on the Patreon content mods, and if they require me to wipe more stuff to declare my page SFW or not… but hopefully what I have already done is enough. (And hopefully it works at all… I was told it would, but that doesn’t always work out.)

Anyway, if you want to help support/motivate me in making more content, you can check out my redone Patreon page here (as I said, more changes likely coming next month): https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Work schedule effectively abolished.

Hi all. As you can probably tell, I don’t have anything new ready yet; as I haven’t really had the time/energy to work on this stuff yet – this summer was just a fucking mess, and I am still having issues even trying to recover from it. However, I am going ahead with this announcement about tossing out my old schedule entirely – not quite sure of the exact details/plans of how I will proceed from this point forward yet… but that is also kind of the point.

First though – an “update” on the Patreon situation… there really isn’t one, because they have yet to get back to me after my latest reply last week. I think that my reply to their reply maybe got flagged as spam or something, since I never got one of their automated responses indicating that they even got it – so I sent another one two days ago, that has at least been acknowledged, as of yesterday… but not replied to. (I waited to post this until today, hoping they might reply yesterday, but… nope.) Knowing my luck, they will reply just after I post all these updates… but fuck it – I will deal with that later. I effectively know what the “best” and worst case scenarios are already; I just need to find out which is going to be forced upon me, since I refuse to endanger myself with their retarded forced identification crap for $20 a month.

Anyway, as mentioned above, I am totally getting rid of my old schedule, as things have basically only gotten worse this year, and I have had issues even keeping up with a mini-set every other month since the summer got into full swing and the shit hit the fan. What this means is that I am effectively adopting the schedule that most artists seem to have, which is that I will do whatever I can, whenever I can… which will hopefully lead to more/better content in the long term, once I recover from the past few months. (Hell, some of the highest income artists I have seen basically make just one image a month.) I have not exactly been able to try and actually rest/recover much yet though, due to real life crap that has been going on and the assorted messes related to the Patreon fiasco that is making this so much worse for me. (I also have to deal with the constant guilt/anxiety of not being able to get anything much done for this project in a few months now… but thinking about all that just makes it even worse still.)

I am not exactly abandoning the “mini” set idea either – those will likely just be very infrequent now. (Maybe for like holidays, or ideas I particularly like that don’t fit the main story arc… I dunno.) Originally, the plan with the mini-sets was for them to stay small (the first few were under a dozen renders) and it was mostly just a gimmick to get myself to constantly be making new stuff and trying new things with renders. However once I actually got good at making renders/scenes, they got really big and complicated, and that left me no time/energy to work on “main” content… which which is at least partially the reason why things are where they are today. It is worth noting though, that most of the reason my renders are as nice as they are now is due to the mini-sets… so it was definitely not a waste. (Not that things were really much better support-wise back when I was still doing the main sets or other stuff… but still.)

In the immediate term, I have no idea when I will get back to working on LITC 6, but at this moment, I am trying to get enough energy/motivation back just to do the October/Halloween side render stuff that I do every year in a couple weeks. I have no idea why that is/has been a thing, but I do want to keep that up if I can… so we will see what happens. The other thing some long-time fans may have been expecting around now is effectively delayed until after LITC 6… so again, no clues on that yet either.

As for the Patreon thing, it will likely either become just a tip jar, if I am forced to wipe the NSFW stuff from it; or effectively a tip jar with some tiered bonuses – as it kind of has been for a few months now. (I don’t yet know what I will/can do with my “regular” content if my NSFW Patreon has to be taken down… but that is a mess for another day.) This is of course presuming that I am able to keep my page up at all… but as far as I can tell now, that should at least be possible if I re-classify it – I hope.

I should be back in a few days to go over the polls, and/or post a more official update on the Patreon situation… if/when they ever get back to me. (Kind of hoping that I don’t have to redo my entire page and wipe all NSFW posts manually… but if that is my only option, so be it.) Other than that, I have no idea when anything else will get done – I really, really need to take a significant amount of time off to just recover, and nothing else. Aiming for Halloween side renders at the minimum in the next month… but we will see what happens. We have the remnants of a hurricane coming this way in the next few days… so things will likely be messy as it is; but hopefully it won’t be too bad.

Again, please vote in the polls on the right if you haven’t yet done so; they really do help.

To conclude, if there is any chance anyone out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or get access to one of my latest/best mini-sets, (this month gets a choice of any mini-set of choice for the middle $15 tier, and I currently plan to just have it remain like that for what little time my current Patreon page likely has left) like the remaining finished story sets, and larger versions of the completed animations I have made/posted, and/or the full games I have also made, (the micro VN and Salune’s Slave Training are still available via my Patreon page; not sure what else may come in the future at this point…) check out my Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Some new side stuff posted, schedule change for July.

Hi again. So I was mostly correct, in that I would not get all the renders I was working on finished by this point – and therefore I am making an executive decision and changing my plans for next month partly as a result of that. Long story semi short, I have tested my new Patreon schedule for six months now… and as of me writing this, there is currently no one left on the mini-set tier; so… that doesn’t really inspire any confidence, and/or make me really feel like doing another one in July. However, I have an alternate/better(?) plan prepared… although this is a bit sooner than I was planning to do this if the need arose. (I was really hoping/planning on getting a lot more done for this project this month… but the weather has been crap – currently a three-day code orange air quality alert active.)

I have gone ahead and posted the three (four, including the one alternate) new side renders that are done though to DA (I have extra crap to post to slushe since I am behind with those… I will try and do that in the coming days) – including one of the really nice ones that I did finish, as well as the one request I got back when I asked a few months ago. I also posted the second preview from mini-set 89. Hopefully those who read this and/or check my pages like those… I never really know. I will try and finish/fix the other renders as soon as possible, and post what remains when whatever gets done is done. (One I just don’t like enough, the others I needed more time with.)

My current/new plan for July is to finish the other side renders I am working on in the next week or two, and then do whatever I can to finally finish the compilation/writing for LITC 6 next month instead of working on a new mini-set. (Life and the weather has not cooperated this past month or so… but I think I may as well just buck the format to get this thing finished, if that is what it takes.) I will just have the middle Patreon tier be a choice of whatever mini-set you want again… and at this moment, this is a one off exception from my updated schedule. However – if support continues to stay low, then something else has to change… and cutting back on mini-sets again is likely part of what would have to come next.

We will see what happens in the coming month or two – but things are effectively at the lowest point possible right now; which I shouldn’t have to explain is bad. (Yes, I know that there is a recession, and that I have been running late with the side renders, etc… but still.) It really gets hard to keep making things when nobody cares… and it doesn’t cost anything to vote, like, or comment. I’ll be back in a few days to go over the polls – no idea when the other stuff will get done; I’ll do what I can, as I have for… almost eight years now.

So… if there is any chance anyone out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or get access to one of my latest/best mini-sets, (this month gets a choice of any mini-set of choice for the middle tier, as well next month as an exception to the schedule) like the remaining finished story sets, and larger versions of the completed animations I have made/posted, and/or the full games I have also made, (the micro VN and Salune’s Slave Training are still available via my Patreon page; not sure what else may come in the future at this point…) check out my Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

End of November status update, notice of upcoming Patreon changes.

Hi again. I am back with one last update for this month – which encompasses a few rather big changes. (Warning, large text post… but it is warranted/necessary.)

Quick general update, November was really messy for me, both for real life and health reasons – and I did not have time to do the latest anniversary mini-set yet. I have been putting forward all the time I could on the monthly mini-set, and even that is not quite where I want it to be. (Again, so much that I want to do, but so little time/energy.)

Bigger picture – and long story semi-short, I am changing how my Patreon page operates, and therefore how I will operate with this project. Things are just not working out even close to well enough right now… nor have they been for a fair while. I have effectively been putting forward a solid part time job worth of hours for around $30 a month for almost two years now… which is just not justifiable. (I think my renders/work have improved in quality greatly in the past year alone – but this seems to have had no effect.) I had hoped things would be better by now… but they aren’t. That being the case, something needs to change.

So… starting next month, December 2021 – there will be no new mini-set every other/even month; people in that Patreon tier can instead choose any existing one they want to receive… you just have to note me with the number. Following that, there will be a new mini-set made in January, and then again in March, etc – all the odd months. And starting with next month, new patrons to the $15 tier will only get either the current mini-set, or one of their choice each month – no other/older mini-sets will be included any more for newer patrons. (I originally gave out a years worth of mini-sets, very early on when individual sets were small and not great – then toned it down to six months, and then three… and now I think one of the sets I have made recently is more than enough on it’s own – given the overall increase in size/quality.)

I changed my old plan for many reasons, but there were two main reasons that I moved it up a month. First, all the holidays I usually do side renders for seem to take place in even numbered months – so this new plan accommodates that far better than if I had done mini-sets in even months, as originally planned. Second, I could really use a break for the holidays, and this will allow that. I have been making new content every single month for seven years; and while I know a lot of the old stuff wasn’t great, it is still a lot of work and very draining – so I am hoping this new system will help offset the immense weariness I feel at this point.

I really also hope this new plan will lead to more time for side/general content, as well as better content… which may finally lead to things getting better for my art – but we will see what happens. I have additional ideas if things are not better by mid-2022 – but… more on that around that time.

As for the $8 tier, I plan to make the bonus mini-set thing that currently exists in cases where I have not made new “main” content a general benefit, that always happens. (Currently they can pick any from my first 50 mini-sets, but I plan to bump that up a bit – maybe the first 65-70 or so.) Not 100% sure what the updated mini-set selection for the $8 tier will be just yet… but I am fairly certain that I will make that one free mini-set per month a thing. (Which is basically already has been, but with a condition that I plan to do away with soon.) The $2 Patreon tier likely will not change, and I may leave the higher, commission tiers as they are as well… not sure yet.

As for my current situation – I could finish” the latest mini-set today or tomorrow, and just send it out as it will be at that time; but that would mean cutting out an additional two scenes that I want to put in, at the very least – as well as some alternate renders. I have done things like this fairly often, and not always put in all that I wanted to (rarely does much of anything we try to do end up being all that you planned for it to be, lets be honest here) – but in this case, it seems like such a shame to cut it so short like this… especially when I will have extra time in the near future – so I can’t help but think to just not do that. Since I am going ahead with my plan to change my (overall) long standing Patreon system – I think I may as well start by changing this a bit, and waiting another week or so to send out the newest mini-set (aka send it when it is “done”) – rather than cut it off before the end of the month.

To the dozen or so people that might actually care about this, sorry I did not publicly say something more concrete about all these changes sooner, but I literally just decided to move it up a month last night – I had originally planned to start it in 2022 near the start of this month, when I first came up with the overall framework. So… if anyone wants to get this last mini-set batch before I do away with the batches, you have about 24 hours. (Also, about 24 hours left to use my black friday gumroad coupon…) I can only assume anyone who might care would check this main site and might see it in time – it seems unreasonable to update all of my many pages with this when it is so close to the change.

Otherwise, I will be back in a couple days with the revamp of my Patreon page, as well as the new polls. (I also plan to try out a new poll plugin thing, since the one I have been using for years seems so have been abandoned, and is having problems due to no updates in over nine months) As noted above, there will be no new mini-set preview tomorrow – as I am changing my mini-set system to be every other month from now on. I did also post the second preview for the Elf/Orc mini-set from last time, for those interested. We will see what else ends up happening in the coming weeks – as I have so much that I want to do, and I might finally have the time/energy to do some of it.

To end this month, if by some chance anyone else out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or get access to this last batch of mini-sets and/or lots of other rewards too, like the remaining finished story sets, and larger versions of the completed animations I have made/posted, and/or the full games I have also made, (the micro VN and Salune’s Slave Training are still available via my Patreon page; not sure what else may come in the future at this point…) check out my Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

2021 Black Friday gumroad sale coupon code!

Hey. I am back with the gumroad coupon for my yearly black friday sale. (Patrons got it a bit early, as per usual.)

The code this year is: rlablackfriday2021

And that will/should get you 42% off anything in my gumroad shop – so use it while you can! I will disable this code early on December 1st (EST), like last year. (You have about a week.)

This coupon is the highest public discount I have offered for my gumroad page so far – and given the way things have been for a while now in terms of support for my art (not much), I cannot guarantee that there will be another gumroad sale on this level… so if you want to get any/some of my older mini-sets, this is likely the best chance you will ever have.

My gumroad page is of course, here: [https://gumroad.com/redleatherart]. And while there are preview images on there for the mini-sets, I  strongly encourage people to check my master mini-set catalog (here [https://redleatherart.com/wp/?page_id=2758]) to help get more information and proper/full previews for all of my mini-sets. 😀

Of course, I would deeply appreciate any and all support, should anyone choose to buy anything, and as always – the newest mini-sets that are not on my gumroad yet are still available on my Patreon page!

Not much else to report yet, but I wanted to give everyone a week or so to use this coupon.

As per usual… if by some chance anyone else out there would actually like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or perhaps even get access to the most recent of these mini-sets and/or lots of other rewards too, like the remaining finished story sets, and larger versions of the completed animations I have made/posted, and/or the full games I have also made. (The micro VN and Salune’s Slave Training are still available via my Patreon page; not sure what else may come in the future at this point…) Regardless, check out my Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart

Early 2021 Patreon changes, and that new special Helenya render!

Hi again everyone – I know this is a bit later than I was planning/hoping for… but I think the renders (I made a nude alternate, because why not) below will help justify that. 😀

First off, though – the Patreon changes; which are not major, but I am hoping that they will help a bit… especially as things improve for everyone in the coming year. I changed the two mid-high tiers on my Patreon to now focus on giving old mini-sets as an extra reward… with the option of getting a standard commission instead, for the second highest. All the tiers have been renamed as well – but that was also a long time coming. The main change that I hope will go a long way is that I have put in a special, fallback extra to the $8 tier (and only that tier); which will be available any month where I do not post a new story set, or whatever to that tier… which has been the case for well over a year by this point. I know I really should have put this in sooner – but everything just went off the rails during this past year or so… and it sort of just got buried under everything else that I wanted/planned/tried to do. Plus, I honestly have been planning/trying to do the next story set for six months or so now; but I just never could find the time. That special, extra new fallback being that $8 Patrons can choose any one mini-set from the given selection to receive that month, as a bonus of sorts. (The current selection is my first 50 mini-sets… but that will likely expand over time; and/or have temporary exceptions/specials.) I think this is how things will be for a while, though… but there may be some minor edits in the coming months – there is no way to tell just yet.

For a bit of context as to why this special render (and the nude alternate) took a while – I chose to go ahead and do something that is as dangerous as it is boring… and yet very necessary; which is going over all the materials on my characters. The primary reason for this is my moving my runtime folder to a new drive, and that fucking up all of my previously saved Octane materials. The other part of it is a long and confusing story for people who don’t do 3D work, but effectively several (mostly minor) things on many of my characters have been improperly configured for a while now… (I have noticed several little things over the past year or so – and fixed them when it was a problem; but now I know what two things in particular tend to be causing it… and somehow it was just auto-configured wrong) and I have to edit their main character files to fix it. However, this runs the risk of something unintended/weird happening – and/or something getting corrupted. (I know that sounds silly, but I have actually had it happen twice now already – and I didn’t even go fiddling with the files at the time… it just happened on it’s own somehow; and the second time, I had to effectively remake the character to fix it… it was truly corrupted.)

As Helenya won the special poll for the first promo render of 2021, I did her first… after backing up her main files, of course. I think everything went quite well – and even though this took a fairly long time, it is simply necessary to finally go through everything – and make some minor adjustments too. Looking at the resulting renders after her corrections, I think it was worth it… but I admit part of this is me understanding advanced lighting a bit better than I used to years ago as well. So… things should be slightly different, and yet overall much better in upcoming renders – and that includes the xmas elf mini-set I am still working on. (Which will be a while still.) Those special renders are below, so check those out! I hope you all enjoy them. 😀

Sooo… if anyone out there would like to help support me and/or my work on all sorts of new content; and/or perhaps even get access to several of these mini-sets and/or lots of other rewards too, like the other finished story sets, and larger versions of the completed animations I have made/posted, and/or the full games I have also made. (The micro VN and Salune’s Slave Training are still available via my Patreon page… and I am doing what I can on the new game with whatever time I may be able to spare – if any.)

Black Friday 2020 sale/gumroad discount code!

Hi again – I hope you all had a nice and safe Thanksgiving… for those of us that celebrate it. The last(?) batch of renders for my newest mini-set is currently going, (and the total is already over 50) and hopefully by the time that is all done, I will have finished that short story that goes with it as well… (likely Saturday, I am going to guess it won’t be ready by later today… just based on prior experiences this year) but – I came by to post about my black friday gumroad sale, and give that code out to non-patrons now. (My patrons got it a few days early.) My gumroad page is of course, here: [https://gumroad.com/redleatherart]. And while there are preview images on there for the mini-sets, I strongly encourage people to check the master catalog up top (or here [https://redleatherart.com/wp/?page_id=2758]) to help get more information and proper/full previews for all of my mini-sets. 😀

The discount/sale code for this year is: rlablackfriday2020
And that will/should get you 40% off anything in my gumroad shop – but let me know if it isn’t working right for some reason. (I think it should be…) I will disable the code early on December 1st (EST), like last year – so use it while you can! (You have basically four days.)

This is the highest public discount I have offered for my gumroad page so far – and the only one I plan to offer in the foreseeable future… so if you want to get any/some of my older mini-sets, now is likely your best chance.

Of course, I would deeply appreciate any and all support, should anyone choose to buy anything, and as always – the newest mini-sets that are not on my gumroad yet are still available over on my Patreon page. Anyway, I should be back in a day or two with that new short story, and a small status update. The polls on the right could also use more votes… as always. See you all soon.

New June polls, and my Patreon special offer returns!!!

Hey again! I am here with the poll results from last time, and some new polls, as well as to announce the return of my Patreon special offer! The special offer details are below – but before that, the polls.

Last time I asked if people preferred recurring, main characters or one off side characters, and unsurprisingly most people preferred main characters – which works well with what I usually do. 🙂 The other poll asked what is the best finish for an adult scene… and all but one vote cast was for the creampie finish – the other one was for the tits. I can agree with that, and as most of you know from my prior works, I do tend to end things that way… so that works out well.

As for the new polls – there are two once again. The first asks which of my three current “lesser” main characters (aka – main and recurring, but less frequent at the moment) you like best, and the second asks if you check public posts on Patreon pages that you don’t subscribe to. Yes, I know Belle is much older than the other two options – which are both new for this year, and Belle also has a section in the “Characters” page already… but there is no getting around that at this point. I do want to write “Characters” bits for Delfina and Nylavi whenever I can get to that… but I don’t think that will be for a while still – we will see what happens in the coming weeks. I just wonder how popular they are comparatively at this point

Also, as mentioned in the title of this post and the first bit – I am once again running a special offer on my Patreon page, the details are below! Otherwise, I will be back in a week or so with some kind of status update.

*This special offer runs from June 3, until the end of July, 2020.*
With this special offer, any tier pledge can get one free bonus mini-set of your choice (per month) from the following selection:
$2 tier – Any mini-set from the first 20!
$8 tier and above – Any mini-set from my first 50!!!
Check my mini-set master catalog to see what mini-set you would like, here: ​https://redleatherart.com/wp/?page_id=2758​
*You have to send me a private message on Patreon after you sign up, and let me know which mini-set you want in order to get anything.*
I will then send you a download link as soon as I can – likely within a day or so.

So if you would like to support my assorted works, and/or perhaps get access to some of my paid content, then check out my Patreon page!: https://www.patreon.com/redleatherart
