Talking of pay what you want stuff: Could you tell us if it's really worth it? I wanted to work on my first PWYW folio soon but I might fear that I'll get like $5 and the other hundred/thousand people will just download it for free. Could you elaborate your experiences with it? Just saying if it's worth it or not would already help.
It’s definitely worth it for me. And as I’ve heard from some other artists, they made the same experience! Go for it!
People who want to buy your stuff will do so, no matter if it’s at a set price or PWYW! PWYW also allows for some people to be really generous. And I just really like the fact that the fan decides what it’s worth. Nobody is gonna feel scammed, nobody will feel left out, etc. It was always hard for me to put a price on my own art, everybody thinks differently about art. So letting everybody individually decide what this cartoon horse porn is worth to them is nice. I think it’s the best for all sides, the artist who needs money, the fans who like to support artists and the fans who like to see porn but would never pay for it. It’s respectful to everybody.
hey, idk if you were ok with it or not, but someone posted your comic on the reddit clop page. Kinda defeats the purpose of a "pay what you want" if everyone can look at it for free. Thought id let you know.
Hey! Thanks for letting me know! The purpose of pay what you want is, that people who want it for free can get it for free without resorting to piracy and people who want to support me can pay as much as they want. If you enter 0 in the buy page you’ll get the download link for free anyways, like mentioned in the announcement post.
That’s why I put all the information on the last page. If someone stumbles upon it and decides that they would like to support me so I can do a project like this again, they can do so.
People pay for a variety of reasons. Access to content is rarely one of them, everybody knows how to pirate and stuff like this ends up on all the imageboards pretty fast anyways. That’s why I personally really like the PWYW model. It makes stuff available to everyone and artists get supported by a lot of people who think the work has monetary value.
She does! She helps a lot with ideas and critique, too. Which is amazing! The downside is, that she’s ready to kill me everytime I draw Rarijack. And that she has a lot of ideas/requests that I’ll sadly never find the time to draw.
She does write clop too, btw. The fic Stuck is hot and funny and it’s pretty much what started our relationship. Go check it out if you like Appledash porn!
Hrm.. That plot book. Is that just for those top runners? I am intereseted in buying that.
No, it’ll be available for everyone to pre-order soon. It should be announced in a few days! The person putting it together let me use one of the proof copies to give away and do this little sneak peek before it’s announced.
How much money am I going to be giving you for this comic?
Awww
As much or as little as you want! It’ll be Pay What You Want. You’ll be able to get it completely for free in the original high res resolution with all the sketches included! There won’t be any deluxe or artist versions. You alone decide how much it’s worth for you, just like the Valentine’s Pack I did early this year.
I’ll probably do a giveaway for the top 3 or 5 supporters, though! Maybe a signed printed version of this comic together with the Playpony 2 and a yet unannounced artbook or something, I haven’t fully decided yet!
I read about frogs in a clopfic years ago and I really liked the concept and the idea of the soft and sensitive under hoof. And ecmajor’s drawings were the first time I saw under hooves in art, and I really love how he draws them. But it took me until someone with an underhoof fetish commissioned me to actually start developing a way to draw them and incorporate them in my drawings every once in a while!
Okay, so I'm a cis-identifing male and I thinking about getting a penatrative toy from Bad dragon when I have the money (Anthro-husky to be percise) but I'm also looking for a relationship. And my problem boils down to, if I somehow become part of a romantic relationship how should I tell my partner about the fact that I own a self-pleasuring sex toy modeled on a anthropomorphised dog breed. Given that you admited having/had a similar product, I was wondering if I could get your take on this?
Interesting question, and I gladly talk about stuff like that and give advice or anything, if you ask something like that non-anon I’ll answer privately and don’t have to spam my followers dashboard with a wall of text, if you’re comfortable talking to me non-anon!
Answer after the cut for everyone who’s interested!
Since 'Saddle Up!' specialised in dicks, do you think there will be a pack like this for crotchboobs or something like that?
I hope there will be something like that, and I hope I’ll be part of it! Sounds like fun.
But yeah, most artpacks focus pretty much on females, so I think Saddle Up is a nice variation, because it’s not as if there aren’t a ton of great art packs about mares!
But yeah, somebody definitely should organize a teats artpack!
Are you possibly going to animate some of your artwork in the future and/or make some interactive peices?
I experiment with animation every now and then, so I’m sure I’ll draw something animated sooner or later again! I’m not sure about interactive pieces, though. It sounds like a lot of fun, but also a lot of work. But I’ll see what I can do!
Got anything planned for your birthday in a few days?
I’m not really the kinda guy who likes parties or big gatherings or anything, so I have no big plans. (Plus my wife is in charge for planning my birthday!)
Ideally we go out to eat somewhere nice and then to a movie or to go play minigolf or something like that. Simple things like that make my day. Sorry, I’m a boring person!
And I’m amazed that people on the internet remember my birthday!
