Final Subscription Update
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to give a quick update about some changes happening with the subscription setup.
I’m currently in the process of moving everything over to a proper subscription platform—DFans. The old system of manually subscribing every month just wasn’t ideal, and DFans makes things much smoother for both me and you. It supports both credit card and crypto payments and is fully adult-content friendly.
As part of the move, I’ve had to switch to a single subscription tier, since DFans only allows posting to one tier at a time. That also got me thinking more seriously about the pricing—something I’ve been going back and forth on for a while now.
The $10 tier has been the standard since the very beginning—over 8 months now—and I’ve kept it at that level the whole time, even as the amount and quality of content steadily increased. Right now, I’m aiming to post at least around 300 images every 3 days, and I want to keep that as a consistent average going forward. I'm also trying to improve the quality with every new set and version, and I’m putting in daily work to keep leveling things up.
Since platforms like DFans (and most others) don’t let you change the price of a subscription tier once people are subscribed to it, I felt this transition was the right moment to make the change—so that I can feel good about the tier I’m offering and the price it’s set at long term, especially in relation to the time and effort going into the work.
So going forward, the main subscription tier will be $20/month. I know that’s a jump from the $10 it’s been since the start, but I truly believe the value reflects the amount of content that’s already available—and what’s consistently being added.
Additionally, it's important to note that DFans charges a 20% platform fee on subscriptions. This means that from each $20 subscription, I receive $16. This fee is standard across many platforms and is used to cover operational costs and provide the services that make DFans a reliable platform for creators and subscribers alike.
This was different on DeviantArt thanks to the Pro+ subscription I've bought, which reduced the platform fees to 2.5% and to 0% for commissions. Platform fee on Ghost was also 0%, but I had to buy a subscription there too.
All things considered, the move to DFans and the updated pricing allow me to continue delivering high-quality content consistently while covering the necessary platform costs.
For the higher tiers, nothing’s changing:
- The $50 tier includes the full subscription plus 50 custom images of an existing character (which would normally cost $50 on their own), so the subscription is essentially free.
- The $100 tier includes a brand new custom character every month with at least 125+ images, which would also normally cost $100—so again, the subscription is included at no extra cost.
If you’re someone who’s already subscribed for multiple months in advance—or even went for the yearly discounted plan I offered a while back—nothing will change for you. Your current price will stay exactly the same for the full duration of your prepaid subscription.
I have finished reposting all my previous content on DFans and will now post new content simultaneously on DFans and Ghost. Subscribe or simply follow me over on DFans here:

Lastly—for those of you who can only pay with PayPal, I’ll continue offering the option to subscribe via my DeviantArt commissions for now. This is just meant as a temporary workaround for people who can’t use the other payment methods, and it may be subject to change in the future depending on how things develop.
Thanks again for all the support—it really does mean a lot. I’m super excited for this next phase and everything that’s coming up!
