Okay - Just saying in case you don't know :

I want this site of mine: www.mavisdraws.com to be sponsored by its patrons. I have set goals on patreon that should guide the people trough different moments and in return, I will unlock some things that I’ve done previously and will be doing more in the future.

In short: I’m counting on people to come and support me on patreon in order for me to show the art I’ve made – here only on my site for free – /or at least this should be the first place to see those – before they are spread to other sites.

Save MavisDraws is a sentence, and should be considered as a statement – not crying for help about financial troubles: It is about the appreciation: to me, it comes with the support of the fans, with their comments here and desire to see more.

There's less than a month for me to pay the host – and the goal is $300.

I wanted to involve people to support an idea and me. $300 is achievable. Pledging the least amount might show appreciation. Even leaving a comment saying ” hi” – shows some love. I didn’t put any banners, ads, or popups to jump in your face – and this page advertises only me, me and ME.

Everything on the page is free, and I’m willing to show all my stuff out.

I want to keep this that way.

Commissions, however, are not included in this goal. Commissioned jobs – include the word “job” means I do work for someone for the pay. That is not a help, it’s a service, a trade – and as you can see I did a lot of illustrations.

That means I should be able to pay for the hosting myself. If I do that – this will make the idea of having a goal on patreon meaningless.

Things that you might see from me /in case the part with the goals actually start to work/:

1. I will be posting more regularly here (mavisdraws.com), but first to see the posts will be the patrons

2. I will start making short animated loops /in future goals/ - check my twitter for reference on some of them.

3. I will start streaming on schedule on twitch, picarto, youtube – one of those. /in further goals/.

4. I make videos with the process of my works – speed process and will post the videos on youtube /mainstream ones/ or on Newgrounds – /in future goals/

5. I will eventually start doing illustrations based on the choice of the crowd or by votes from a poll.

6. I will eventually create an account for prints and merch you could buy. / in future goals/.

The end date is set on May, this year. As it seems I will have to pay the host - but like I mentioned on the above this will make the whole idea of my goals on patreon meaningless. And I will have to change them to something more relevant.

So I've started inktober challenge myself. As you can guess I cannot make a drawing everyday - because I have other stuff to do - but in order to catch up with the flow - I'm doing 2 or 3 per day. Not sure if I'll make it through the entire month, since the upcoming week from 12 th until 20th - I will be afk - mostly dealing with the housing and other stuff. Anyways - check my shit done to honor INKTOBER :

And Off-prompt list :

I'm back from vacation - actually that was the previous month - more than 2 weeks ago. I had my share of sun and love and sea food , and good emotions.

I'm re-opening an old project - my site : www.mavisdraws.com, previously known as www.mydirtydrawings.com

The site had almost no visits - different than spam bots, chinese, indian or ukrainian visitors who would type ... something. I had to "take it down" - and left it to die on it's own. But recently I decided to give it a last chance.

By "Last" I mean literally this. The hosting for this page has been paid until April next year. I have no intention to continue supporting it - if it doesn't work for me and if it doesn't entertain vast amount people. My next goal is reaching $300.

The cash from the reached goal will be used to pay the hosting company for another year.

The point here is the principle - and these should be achieved through patreon itself only - not from donations or commission jobs. I somehow don’t see reason to pay fees every each year for a site that doesn’t repay : $300 hosting , $350 a plugin /that includes 24 h support / - currently the second thing has been disabled 

Some ideas about my future goals /those may change - depending on interest of the people.

My long term goal is to start posting all my stuff on www.mavisdraws.com - and patreon would be the thing that will support the page and me. So - there should not be anything on patreon, but all on the site - out and for free. 

The amounts written are approximate and not exact - as well as the goals I set.

$800 - $1000 - will start posting twice or thrice a week

$2000- and above - will pull out all the stuff I have inside patreon - including previous years , but without the stuff that are patreon's policy... I actually did some stuff and I had to remove them after I've been observed recently.

I know - why would you pay for something that you’d get for free - the answer is : I’m not selling and you’re not buying. Giving cash is support to me as an artist - and that’s how you will help to get the page : www.mavisdraws.com running.

So guys - if you have questions, suggestions, cool ideas - regarding the rewards I offer on patreon or the things you wish to see from me -I'm all eyes and ears and I'll be happy to respond.

Cheers,

Davis

Weather is not the best. Mostly windy and cloudy. I see a lot of stray cats on every corner. Not a cat person myself but at some point I decided to take photos of them with my smartphone. My thoughts are clear and I am thinking about how I'm about to share a comice strip on my site every Friday. Eventually I'll include Tuesday as a day of update. And the commissions will continue until I get enough patrons to support what I do.

Did I mention that I started to play with Renpy earlier? It gives me a lot of options to choose from. I can do some of my comics using it.

And of course my site where I will be showing all of these.

Note : This very same message is shown on my profile's news.

I do understand that my art style and things I choose to draw can't be of liking to everyone.

This one should be considered as research - in order for me to know where I stay at the current moment,

To the guys who are more like : TL~DR : https://twitter.com/MavisRooder/status/1144490270924271616

I've been thinking about this a lot lately - AGAIN.

I have a site - the host will expire at the end of this year. I have cancelled the security support of it, because it was too expensive and I wasn't doing anything on it at all.

Some progress with the artwork in general :

Through the years I have developed a specific style for the illustrations but kept the comic/cartoonish style and I found that people have interest towards my comics. People are coming and asking me for commissions. I draw every single day - and I am even at that moment to announce the "Commissions are closed".

I haven't raised my prices yet. I have created a strong bond with my constant clients and for now I don't feel it's a good idea to announce a price raising. I became picky - I don't want to draw anything that goes. I have pushed away paying clients - politely telling them that I don't want to draw their thing anymore. Yet I haven't started to earn well (about $140 on patreon monthly). Yeah. It's all about the money thing sadly. Living on commissions could be tiring. Especially if you work cheap - and therefore I'm rushing to make it ASAP, so I should grab the next inquiry.

I found that people like to watch me draw their thing. Or to watch me drawing anything.

Here's some links to places where I present / should be used as reference for "samples"

1. Twitter : https://twitter.com/MavisRooder - I'm posting sketches there and some of the illustrations as well.
2. Hentai Foundry : http://www.hentai-foundry.com/user/mavruda/profile
3. NEWGrounds : https://mavisrooder.newgrounds.com/art

The time when I feel like I have something to tell to the people - has come (it came year ago, but nevertheless I'm announcing that here as well ).

I want to tell my own stories and I want to show it out. I have all the "weapons" to make it happen, but I hate to go without a plan. That's why my asking to you, the one who reads this:

Would you support me on patreon if I should start showing off my comics out - on my website ?

Not only the comics, but the illustrations as well. Shown out - for free ! Nothing on the inside - everything out.

You saw some of the comics I presented here and you got the idea about what I'm gonna do.

I'm pretty prolific. I've done a lot through the years - but as you can guess the improvement with the quality came out the last couple of years 2016- 2018 , when I developed my current style. So I have enough content to show out.

About content ?! Of course it's going to be porn, but not exactly or specifically. I'm about to draw and show popular characters: from comics, games or anime - as well as my own original characters and comic strips. I watch funny videos and depending on the akwardness or sexual innuendos that might go in there - I would do something... rude, or funny. In all the ways I'm looking to make people laugh.

Sounds very much like someone you already know, right ?

I know - you already have Shadman. We all have Shadman. But I can't be like him- I just can't - even if I want. He's phenomenon of it's own kind. I won't be shining bright like him , and I have no illusions that I will be even half successful as he is.

But still - I can do it on my own : I prefer be a small light , instead of a big shadow.

The way the things are going - the better way for me to work would be my stuff to be seen out - instead of hiding it.

But before I do "that jump" - I need to know if there will be "hands to hold me".

I know the odds : a lot of guys think that it makes no sense to give their money for something they can get for free.

But guys - in this case you're not "paying for the content" , you're "supporting the artist" - me !

Please write down in the comment section below what you think or give me your vote on the poll following the link.

https://twitter.com/MavisRooder/status/1144490270924271616

P.S. I'm leaving for vacation in a week or so and that poll will stay for 1 week as well.

This month is over. On 7th next month I will go to the beach for 2 weeks or so and will be back on 20-21 or July.

Away from porn, drawings and computers.

I got new patrons who come pledging low and ask to have all the comics I've made.

Took me 40 mins to compose a message to respond them back. 40 mins because Im trying not to sound harsh, mean, or greedy. To explain myself that in fact I've put an explanation already on my patreon page times ago and I didn't made up that just now. I really don't want to do any commissions right now.

Recently I've been thinking about to leave all the porn and explicit stuff and to draw things like the one below : suggestive yes, but not explicit. No dicks, no holes or sperm flowing around... Eventually to open a new patron with one reward only - and then follow me in there! .... but that's only thoughts.

I couldn't help but notice the low score that the first page of that comic achieved. Also few guys stopped following - some even wrote me messages about it - accusing me of being disgusting.

How so ?!?

" Mavis - I started to follow you because you were doing real art. Even the comics you showed with the moms and kids are funny and inspiring. But the last one shows that you went out of the way of art. This is not art. Art is not shit and farts.

it's not funny to mockup the artists and people ! You're no better than Shadman - so fuck you and him and I hope you die. Your disgusting"

I consider myself as an artist - I'm self taught, but still I am an artist. The art is art t because it has no boundaries - if you're there to put boundaries on artists then you're no better than Idi Amin or any other known dictator. In Nazi Germany and Soviet Union those artists who drew what their leader wanted were leaving a good life. The other were shot dead, gassed, sent on exhile to die in camps.

I didn't mocked any artist - at least not on the first page YET ! But will do it. No names involved.There will be no any real person in fact - simply because I don't know any of the artists around in person.

I don't draw shit and farts - as you can see in my gallery. In that case I wanted to show that some people are hitting "the bottom" . About real art before the shitting rhino page - how come the porn appeared to be a real art to someone ?!

I drew tentacles,

I'm not Shadman and I don't really want to be like him. In fact I'm like 20 years older than him / I'm 42/.

I can only admire his success and the way he's organizing his things - always has something to tell and show- he has the power and ability to draw and lead the people to which ever direction he wants. He's turning himself into institution. An underground institution ! So only but respect to him. About the content he produces - well - that's another thing to talk - still I talk about the way he does the stuff, not the content he makes. I can only dream to be inspiration to people like he is, BUT you'll never know. Also I hate masks.

Just saying - I don't know him - nor he does know anything about me.

You wrote "your disgusting" - My original language is not English, but "My disgusting " what ??? I'm missing the point in here , but I suspect that you're or /you are / accusing me of being disgusting without even knowing me, judging me by my art - or by a single comic page and made conclusions about my habbits and desires and what I do. That's great. From FBI they still hire psychics. I suggest you to apply in there.

I drew something - people reacted badly- downvoted. That's fine. BUT Guys, Please don't send me e-mails with unwanted opinions. If I want your opinion I'd be specific about it - and will ask below the submission something like: what do you think , or something similar- and definitely won't give my e-mail. I use the e-mail to accept commissions. And that's all. Let's keep it that way.

I don't take that kinds of e-mails to me as a favor of some sort. Use the comments instead - the comment under the submission. I will make sure to respond as soon as I read it.

Oh wait - you don't comment under "A" rated submissions.... CHICKEN !

M.

Yo wassup dudes and dudettes!

To those of you who wish to get a drawing from me - send me a PM here for inquiry about a commission - and for additional details - how the commission should go.

I believe that I'm pretty affordable for the results I offer - if you haven't checked my illustrations yet - do that in my gallery here.

I draw mostly NSFW but I'm okay to draw SFW stuff. In all the ways the price is as follows :
1 character $25 
Every next in the same drawing +$15.
/Please no more than 4 characters in one drawing - or I'm gonna explode of overwork, or the guys who wait after will explode because of impatience. /
Paypal only.

This is the second comic strip that  I go into an area I am trying not to step into - for not being "my cup of tea".
Then why do I do it ? For attention, for my own sake - for fun, but basically to see my patrons reactions.
I've stretched the story into whole 37 pages - which could be really annoying to read by the people.
I should learn how to tell stories in short pages.

Sadly - the "Witcher" comic didn't get the interest of the "public". So far because of the weird and funny comics, I'm getting mostly commissioned inquiries and "pats" on the shoulder. 
Sadly - again - the school schedule of my kids will change my own schedule and that will affect my commission jobs - by reducing my time and presence at home significantly.
That's why Im trying to "collect" as much patrons as possible - and the only possible way for me to do that is to draw comics.
