We used to have a lot of those around where I live. Well, maybe we still do. I haven't been driving to other towns as much in the last year or so. I do know a few shut down and were replaced by "family style coffee stands." I would probably buy a bikini coffee stand!
count me in +1
the female warriors in my renders are winged, regular armour doesn't help unless its low back. they dont need spiky heels either. lol. they have swords.
i have the old frostbite outfit on a bookcover.
The nice thing about Patreon is, that you can more or less set it up however you want. You can make it very clear that you don't do requests, and people support you just for whatever you feel like making, but that would probably lead to another issue with Patreon, one that may be much worse. What are you going to feed those supporters, how often would you release something new there? Sadly, the people visiting there will want regular results, so content creators there usually have to commit a lot more time on their Patreon projects than they initially expected.
On top of that comes the biggest problem I have with Patreon (and most other sites outside Daz, Rendo and 'rotica/CGbytes): you'll really have to do all the marketing yourself, they aren't as popular as these "big three", and some, like Patreon, don't have a real store front or even a decent search function for people looking for something specific. So even if they let you keep 99% of the profits, it wouldn't matter since you would sell way less than you would at the big, known and popular daz-compatible sites.
There are still more platforms available, like buymeacoffee and artstation, but each has it's own advantages and disadvantages, percentages and costs.
In your specific case, at least you have followers here, at DeviantArt and on Youtube (both have great tutorials!), so wherever you'd sell something, at least you have decent and controllable options to advertise. Still, it wouldn't be ideal..
This might qualify:

yeah. nice axe too.
I've seen skimpier bathing suits in rendo's freestuff section. Do any of you remember the monokini bathing suits, and I probably spelled it wrong. They covered almost nothing they were so skimpy. They were quite popular for the Gen3 and Gen4 girls.
You could check out yashiro_amamiy's freestuff over there and find her bandage bikini
I think there was some requirement that promos for teenaged or younger characters could not show bare shoulders. Don't recall discussion of any other restriction.
@SickleYeild - I am a big fan of your utilities and products. You also offered a tutorial that I enjoyed. https://www.daz3d.com/how-to-create-a-new-daz-studio-custom-creature
Hope you consider doing more tutorials.
Do you have an announcement to follow?
It almost seems unfair including rendo stuff
Half the outfits there are far far far on the skimpy scale. Stuff by Tempesta3D for example is extremely skimpy (but at the same time, tasteful/artistic imo). SWTrium also has some absolutely scandelous items on rendo, while their Daz items are a bit more tame.
Digital Art Live were great to work with, but sadly the necessities of scheduling meant I had to work weekends. The extra money was nice, but the lack of work/life balance was harmful over time, so I had to stop. Sadly personal and health problems of more recent date have also greatly slowed the rate at which I offer free tutorials on my YouTube, but I'm hoping recent life changes will let me do more of that, too.
@certaintree38 Bikini baristas, eh. I don't feel about them like I do about the requests for the various flavors of snuff and femsub, but they're not my bag. If softcore type content actually paid, I'd probably be doing a bunch of fantasy/sci fi underwear again, lol. I'll always be a big nerd. I know it comes as a shock to people (it certainly does on deviantart), but I'm a straight woman, and I make all my sets unisex because that's the only way I can get paid to make male content. I'm not super into the ladies.
@Drip I think you're exactly right. I can barely maintain my production schedule a lot of the time, there's no way I'd be able to create an outfit a week or like that - it takes 20+ hours to make a small clothing set for me (mad respect to my colleagues who are clothing pros). And no one's going to give me $2 a month for a small prop once a week and an outfit of my choice every three months, whereas I make considerably more than that for my two products of my choice a month at Daz3d. I know of Daz format artists on Patreon that seem to be doing well, but they're also serving hardcore content by commission and just offering the stuff they had to make for the commission animations as freebies, or that sort of business model. I respect the hustle, but my experience with commissions has been, with few exceptions, very negative.
The forum software agrees, there´s no such thing as too much Sickleyield!
ETA: when I posted this, her post was displayed 5 times in a row :)
A meetup; I like the idea. Just wondering how many (or few) of the old members are still around.....
...this would qualify
https://www.daz3d.com/dryade-for-genesis-2-female-s
As would this (but looks a might "painful")
https://www.daz3d.com/gemling-for-genesis-2
SickleYield I didn't mean to pressure you or anything.
I love everything you do, so whatever you want to work on is great in my book. I like the ladies, but I also prefer men, so I give you my utmost gratitude for making things unisex!
Side note: Now that I am thinking about it, I also want to see guys in speedos serving coffee.... maybe I can kitbash something.
yeah that came into effect not long ago actually includes older females too sometimes like if it is a head shot but you see bare shoulders and top area of chest like if you wearing an open neck shirt but if you can't see they are wearing a shirt/top strapless dress/top that implies nudity even if you don't see full breasts which is not allowed so gotta show straps at least
Well I know one thing you won't see in the Daz store and that's a micro bikini, I found out some people still makes those and, again, over at rendo freestuff...lol
You'd think skimpwear would be cheaper. There's so few pixels!
....+1
Less is more, someone has even paid a million dollars for a unique link to a single black pixel
yeah i also feel your pain too, i do love skimp specially when they make sense, but i really hate heels they are my nightmare, also i do hate when you have a male and female armor and like the "male armor is full body covering and female is a "bikini armor covering almost nothing, that are times when i do feel don't make sense, but if both male and female version are skimp then i'm totally in, because now they do make sense for me but indeed heels specially for "armors and specially some really crazy heels, i can get some "boots" but heels indeed feel like too forced for me, for exemple one of my favorite artists for female armors is @val3dart, he/she is really amazing when designing outfits my only complains are really his/her love for heels and also using too much riggify(the stuff to attach things in the outfits which don't work outside daz),i do have a lot of outftis come from him/her, they are really cool and sexy and skimp whenever is necessary and also badass and skimp here a good exemple:
https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-warrior-of-dusk-outfit-for-genesis-8-females
https://www.daz3d.com/kyra-fantasy-outfit-for-genesis-8-female-s
i really love his/her works and as aways my only complains are the heels if him/she did "less heels" they would be perfect for me.
I guess it's no longer in the store, but I think it was called "Diamonds"?...that had to have been the skimpiest outfit that ever sold here.
Leg Chains
Body Chains 2

Oh shoot... now my curiosity has been piqued... I'd love to see what you've cooked up that you keep behind the counter and not on display.
You don't have to take request from your patreon. You can just have folks support you for a monthly fee and in exchange for the support, give em' what tickles your own fancy as a downlod.
I'm in!
The problem really is the amount of people supporting/buying. Sickleyield creates content for an income, and spends a lot of time on that. If she spends weeks making something she really wants to make, but only few people find their way to wherever she sells it, then she won't be able to support herself. Patreon and similar sites (even Gumroad) are great for people who want to take a gamble with their income and for people who create something in their spare time (as a hobby) but have another sustainable source of income. It is not really good for people who have to rely on their income and would have to replace their existing income with the crowdfunding gamble.
If I had some tens of thousands of dollars to waste on frivolities, I'd totally consider sending it to Sickly, tell her to take a break for a month or two, and work on whatever project(s) she wants that she just can't give time right now, with no requirement to deliver anything once holidays are over. Sadly, I don't have anywhere near such funds to play with, and the vast majority of funders will require some tangible results at the end of whatever period. Most people don't like or can't afford throwing money into a black box like that. And there are definitely more artists and content creators in the same position she's in: want to work on something, but simply can't afford to.
The Daz self-proclaimed morality guardians would probably reject any really good-looking post-Alexander Hellenic wear as those dandy muscle cuirasses often had nipples modeled on them. The Store Nanny would die of heart failure.
i do love the chains outfits. and the strappy ones.
was looking at an outfit called tactical belts. promo showed clothes, but the product was only the belts.
People are being so nice to me in this thread! Thanks, you guys. <3
Gemling is by me and Fuseling, too. :D And so is Body Studs. The G2 period was a great time for high concept, low coverage fantasy and sci fi outfits. Rigging was easier than with Victoria 4 and fitting was easier than with Genesis (and indeed, easier than it would be with G3/G8 after the switch to dual quaternion rigging). Daz was taking, and people were buying. Clothes were faster to make than they had ever been before or ever would be again. So it was a special time when we had that leeway to bring the weirdness.
Well, you've made some of the most fun content we've gotten! All of my favorite G2 male underthings, that's for certain (especially the aforementioned clamp brief). I really miss that kind of stuff, where it looks so damn cool that you just can't bring yourself to care if it makes sense realistically, and the G2 era was the golden age for that. Characters had a very appealing and aesthetically pleasing balance between realism and stylized appearance, and if rigging and fitting were suddenly the easiest they'd ever been or would be for the people making clothing, it's no wonder we got such an explosion of great sci-fi and fantasy things. The aesthetic of the characters themselves was ideal for going absolutely ham with the low-coverage fantasy look for the girls and particularly in your case, for the guys, too. As someone who'd far rather have beefcake than cheesecake, I'm eternally grateful for that.
It was all glorious and huge part of why I'll never be able to leave G2 behind, that was by far my favorite aesthetic period that Daz has had for both the male and female models. As much as I like more photoreal stuff, the push towards it feels like it bled a lot of the creativity out of things and we started getting the exact same outfit over and over with minor variations (obviously there's still lots of creativity around, but that's still how it can feel sometimes when I'm shopping). Meanwhile the entire G2 era was like, "We couldn't decide whether to market this guy as a Monk or a Barbarian, so we thought, hey, why not both? Also, add more spikes. What? Of course there's no such thing as too many spikes, only too much fabric!"
The adhesive bandages (Bandaids) offer many creative possibilities as well
