Category: Comparisons
Compare the October 2021 and October 2022 illustration packs on price, delivery format, and content scope so you can pick the right anime art pack for your needs.
Quick answer
Choose the October 2021 Pack if you want the broader Tier 3 extras list (including process shots, timelapse videos, and R18 content) at USD 14.00; choose the October 2022 Pack if you prefer a lower price of USD 12.20 and a simpler set of extras that still includes PSD/CLIP files and NSFW content.
Price and value: what the numbers say
The October 2021 Pack is listed at USD 14.00 (compared to a USD 20.00 reference price), while the October 2022 Pack is USD 12.20 (also compared to USD 20.00). That makes the 2022 pack about 13% cheaper at the current catalog price. Neither pack's page specifies the exact number of files, resolution, or total download size, so you cannot compare them on raw volume from the listings alone. If file count or resolution is critical, treat that missing detail as a reason to check the preview images and the linked download description before buying.
Delivery format: the .txt link applies to both
Both product records note that, due to pack size, you will receive a .txt file with a link to download the pack outside the shop. That is a practical similarity: neither pack downloads directly from the order page. Plan for a two-step process (open the .txt, then follow the link) and make sure you can access external links from the email or account where you receive the file. The listings do not state link expiration or download limits, so if you need long-term re-download access, ask before purchasing.
Content scope: 2021 lists more extras, 2022 lists fewer
The October 2021 Pack's catalog description lists high-resolution files, alternative variations, unposted work/doodles/rkgk, process shots, PSD/CLIP files, timelapse videos, and R18 content as possible Tier 3 inclusions. The October 2022 Pack lists high-resolution files, alternative variations, PSD/CLIP files, and NSFW content. Both descriptions use 'any or all of the following,' so the lists are not guarantees of every item. The key trade-off is breadth versus simplicity: the 2021 pack advertises more categories of bonus material, while the 2022 pack trims the list and costs less.
Trade-offs to weigh before you choose
- Lower price vs. broader extras: The October 2022 Pack costs USD 12.20 versus USD 14.00 for the October 2021 Pack. If budget is the deciding factor, the 2022 pack wins. If you specifically want the chance of process shots or timelapse videos, the 2021 pack is the only one of the two that lists them. Decide whether video/process extras are worth about USD 1.80 more to you.
- Listed extras are not guarantees: Both descriptions say extras include 'any or all of the following,' so neither pack promises every listed item. Treat the lists as possible contents, not a checklist. If a specific item (for example, a timelapse video or an unposted doodle) is the reason you are buying, confirm it with the shop before checkout. Ask about the one extra you care most about before paying.
- External link delivery on both: Both packs deliver via a .txt file containing an outside download link because of pack size. Save that .txt file somewhere you can find later, and download the pack soon after purchase in case the link is time-limited. Neither listing states an expiry period. Download promptly and keep the .txt file backed up.
