Hi everyone!

After much deliberation and discussion, I've decided to open a patreon!

http://www.patreon.com/zaush




I wanted to let everyone know this will be my new base of operations, and use this post to address some questions about what this means for my followers on IB and other sites. To summarize, I'm not planning to hide my content behind a paywall or change anything about how I share that content. What I will be doing is providing my work to patrons a few weeks earlier, giving access to the HD version, and also sharing more of the work in progress and sketchy doodles that I typically post to twitter. If you'd like to know the incentives involved, please do visit the page.


When will your art be posted to IB?

Two weeks after they're provided to second tier or above patrons.


What about higher res versions of your art?

Anything that's already on IB with a high res files will remain there, and future works will be posted to patreon in high def for first tier patrons and above.


What about your comics?

Higher effort comics remain a "for sale" project, so those who don't wish to support my patreon will still be able to buy them upon completion as a single download immediately at public launch. A tier does exist that guarantees a digital copy of any for sale comics I produce (and a bit earlier than standard release), and pages of the main comic which are not considered bonus material WILL be posted publicly, but at a staggered pace. My download comics are not produced page my page, and so aren't suitable for day to day posts, so only a portion of my time will go into these projects. If I can come up with short, sustainable one off comics that are posted for the patreon community, I'll definitely explore that!


I thought you said you didn't want a patreon?

Part of my decision to embrace this model that I now have the flexibility to devote time to art supported by my patreon, and with enough support, I could even make art a full time job! This has always been a dream of mine, and being able to work on content for the fandom is a huge incentive for me over conforming to a corporate entity's requirements.





I've worked for big businesses as a software developer my entire life. This is a chance to work for you. Your support so far has taken me so far already, even if it's simply a kind word, hitting the fav button, giving me your time of day, or supporting my comics. Thank you for making my time in this fandom worthwhile, and I hope to see you there!

Sounds like a well thought out plan. I think it's excellent that you're still going to be uploading your art here, I'm sure we can muster the patience to wait a few more weeks. Will this also mean we'll see more work from you?
Zaush

More work is definitely the idea. I can produce more work when my monthly expenses and income in general is covered, rather than having to partition a portion of my day to art as a hobby.

Sooo basically we're going to get more Zaush stuff? All sorts of yes. Glad to see that you're still going to be releasing stuff publicly. I've always thought that patreon was best used like that.
Zaush
7 years, 9 months ago
Correct! It's supporting what basically amounts to upgrading a hobby into (hopefully soon) a full time job

Thats some pretty neat stuff right there~! I wish ya the best of luck with the project~! I might think about offering support, after some consideration if it would be feasible and responsible for me to do so long-term! :D

Missed your chance to make the Patreon 'P' a lewd gaping messy hole, but hey, walking into it is symbolic as well!

I'll do that too later. Too pissed why even talentless hacks like Tim Buckley get stupid rich.
Zaush

Whatever you do, don't look at Jay Naylor's patreon...
MildlyBushy
7 years, 9 months ago
Dude, I know. But its ok. I fapped to Naylor. Buckley is just cringe. Buckley draws the best cumshots, while stuff like the current overhyped Star vs The Forces of Evil comic has massive build up but an incredibly shitty cum scene, I can already tell.
Zaush

I more meant the sheer monthly contribution is 3x that of buckley

Yep. Sad.

I've always been a huge fan of your artwork, so I'm more than happy to pledge! *gives $6*

Will your pay-only comics be released publically in lower res after, say, a year or two, or will they stay pay-only?
Zaush
7 years, 9 months ago
Pay only comics are actually released page by page over time after release, at standard res. Same as "Daddy's Little Secrets"
WatchingFox

Cheers for the response!

Of course!

Where can I buy the comics?

Comics will all be on my gumroad https://gumroad.com/zaush

Is "Daddy's Little Secret" the only one available right now?
Zaush
7 years, 9 months ago
So far, yes. All my other comics are currently available free elsewhere
Velocikid

Can I get a link to those free comics?

While I'm a little sad for the doodles becoming Patreon exclusives, I have to say that yours is a book-text example of what a good, fair and well-thought Patreon should be like. My applauses to you- in hopes that I'll have money of my own to spend sooner than later.

Best luck!

I don't tend to post doodles on my galleries anyway, so it's not a huge loss. I do want my work to be seen by as many as possible, though, so the delayed release thing seemed like the best option

I first noticed your work on yiffy.tk back in the days when it was still around. When it closed down I found furaffinity and inkbunny. Your work was first noticed then and I have been a fan ever since. Offering a comment here and there like the lurker I am. Just job swapped and legit just got my first 4 days worth pay check today! I will happily throw in my support in two weeks. :P

I've seen most patreon users do things right, Carrot and Quetzalli I feel do a good job. I like how art is a hobby and not a crutch, Tricksta, poor guy went through a rough patch for a bit. I won't name the obnoxious... you have always seemed level headed and respectful in your interactions with the community. At least, with what I've seen. :) I consider you one of my Top 5 when I mention anything in this part of the fandom. So I don't mind giving you some support via a patreon!
Zaush

Thank you very much! I see this as a good thing, since it allows me more time to devote to art and bringing images to everyone more often, and hopefully advancing the threshold of my quality

Did you say software developer? , maybe make furry game like rack2 :D(as furry game , not copy of rack2)
Zaush
7 years, 7 months ago
I feel like my future on patreon involves a mixture of comics, illustrations, and animations. Creating a game would be a pretty big undertaking with no guarantee of success.
Varenvel
7 years, 7 months ago
True , and was sure we will never see proper furry sex game , till rack2 rolled around , and seeing fek patreon get solid 25k+- a month is not too shabby for game development for very small indie dev team for a start
