Category: Comparisons
Compare the August 2020 and July 2023 illustration packs from EXPULSE SHOP. See what each includes, how they differ, and which one fits your collection.
Quick Answer
If you want the broadest variety of unposted work, process shots, and R18 content from an earlier era, the August 2020 Pack is your pick. If you prefer a more recent set of high-resolution files with PSD/CLIP sources and NSFW content, the July 2023 Pack is the better fit.
What's Actually in These Packs?
Both packs are previous FANBOX/PATREON rewards, so they're not just single images—they're bundles of extras that were originally offered to Tier 3 supporters. The previews only show a sample; the full contents are much larger and include files beyond what you see in the listing.
How They Differ
The August 2020 Pack emphasizes variety: it includes alternative variations, unposted work, doodles/rkgk, process shots, PSD/CLIP files, timelapse videos, and R18 content. The July 2023 Pack focuses more on high-resolution files, alternative variations, PSD/CLIP files, and NSFW content—it doesn't list timelapse videos or process shots.
If you're a collector who likes seeing the creative process, the 2020 pack gives you more behind-the-scenes material. If you just want polished, high-res final images with editable sources, the 2023 pack is more straightforward.
Download Size and Access
Because some packs are very large, you may receive a .txt file with a link to download the content outside the shop. This applies to the August 2020 Pack and may apply to the July 2023 Pack as well—just follow the instructions in the file to access your files.
Which Pack Should You Choose?
- August 2020 Pack: Choose this if you want a wider variety of extras: process shots, timelapse videos, unposted doodles, and R18 content from an earlier period. Expect a larger, more varied download that may require a .txt link for access.
- July 2023 Pack: Choose this if you prefer a more recent set of high-resolution files with PSD/CLIP sources and NSFW content, without the extra process material. You get a cleaner, more straightforward bundle of final images and editable files.
- Both Packs: If you're a dedicated collector or want to see how the artist's style evolved, getting both gives you a broader archive. Consider your storage space and whether you need the older process content.
