What happened in 2025?
WHERE HAS THE NEWSLETTER BEEN FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS?
At this point, I think it’s no secret that certain Clip stores have REALLY let us all down. Month after month, the average income generated by these sites has gone down across the board for pretty much everyone. There are a lot of reasons behind this, and I won’t bore you with my personal dissection of it all… what I will say is that I’m not alone in having noticed a remarkable decline in my revenue.
That has meant that a lot of personal projects, even ones that I was excited about, have had to drop to the wayside, and I’ve had to reimagine my business model in a big way. This isn’t to say that those projects are dead… anything but. But BTV and Barbatus Unchained (more on those below) have had to be put on the backburner as I shift away from large Out of Pocket projects and towards customs. I concede that, as I have ramped up custom production, I have let this news update lapse.
I’m going to try very hard to remedy that going into 2026, but I ask that you be patient with me. I’m a one man studio. I answer every single chat message, every single custom request, and every social media post that I can, and I do it all by myself! I write, plan, film, edit, and post every one of my clips entirely by myself… and honestly, the sheer amount of stuff that I have to do in a day can quickly get overwhelming. In 2026, I’m trying to refocus my energy in a big way, so that I can really grow this business into what I’ve always dreamed it can be.
I beg for and deeply appreciate your patience with me!
WAIT, DID YOU SAY YOU MOSTLY DO CUSTOMS NOW?
In the past, I’ll admit that I didn’t really love making customs. The pressure was always so high to me… here you are, a customer who has a very specific vision of your fantasy… and you’re entrusting me to get it just right. It’s a lot of pressure, and I wasn’t sure that I was really capable of doing it justice.
Over the past year, though, I feel like I’ve gained a new appreciate for the art of custom content. I take great pride these days in making the perfect custom for my clients… in genuinely bringing your fantasies to life on screen in the best and most attentive way I’m able. At the end of the day, I don’t want you to buy ONE custom from me… I want you to trust my capability so much that you buy from me again and again.
To that end, I’ve spend the past several months doing nothing but customs. All five of the videos you see listed for December are custom content, most of them from repeat clients who have ordered from me repeatedly based on my ability to deliver, and my open and frank communication style. I can’t promise that I’ll be the right producer to create your custom, but I can promise that I’ll try my level best, and be honest with you during every step of the process.
I try to keep my prices low, too. There’s funny business in the way I calculate costs. Generally speaking, it’s a pretty simple formula: whatever the models involved ask to be paid, plus any specific materials you want (costumes I don’t already have, clothing that may need to be destroyed, etc.), plus a small fee for my camera work and editing. Obviously, clips with intense special FX cost a bit more as they take considerably longer to edit.
In most cases, my turn around times are remarkably quick… sometimes as little as a week from your purchase date. Obviously, this depends on a LOT of factors, such as model availability and the intensity of an edit… but even then, I remain honest and open with you throughout the process. You will never wonder what happened to me, or if I just ran off with your custom money. If the project is going to get delayed, I’ll let you know that as soon as it become apparent, and I’ll usually give you a discount on future customs or some free content if I know that the delay is my fault.
OKAY, SO WHAT GIVES WITH BTV AND BARBATUS UNCHAINED?
BTV, a free YouTube Channel with SFW Fetish forward serial programs that will release on a weekly basis, is still very much my plan. However, after filming a couple of episodes and attempting to edit them, I’ve hit a bit of a wall. See, I don’t want these programs to look like all of my other content. I don’t want them to filmed in my normal sets, and I want to have outstanding sound and picture quality, varied and exciting sets… pretty much the things I would need to make these videos feel slick, polished, and high production value!
Obviously, that’s going to require capital and assistance that I don’t currently have access to. However, the project is anything but dead. Instead, I’m in communication with other producers of a like mind who have similar ambitions. Keep your eyes peeled, because we’re hoping to have something to show for this relatively soon.
Barbatus Unchained is a store front that will allow me to sell uncensored videos to you, without having to bow to corporate restrictions on the kinds of content that I’m able to offer. It’s a crypto store, of course… there really just isn’t much else I can do. That said, it will come with easy “How To” guides that will simplify the process, and most IMPORTANTLY, ensure that you aren’t getting ripped off by some scummy crypto exchange.
Unchained is VERY NEARLY done. I just have to finish posting my video library there, and I’ll start marketing it live here!
As always, thank you SO MUCH for your support! I genuinely cannot do what I do without you!
