Zoom tryout! (Patreon)

New Patrons welcome time! Welcome to Michael, Joanna, Tanja, Maxwell, Erin and Lisa this month! =D So happy to have you.

Hangouts! So, I have no idea whatsoever how to do Discord or Zoom meetings. Let's find out together. ;) 

I've set up Zoom and have scheduled a meeting for Monday evening, 6 pm CET. The ID is  308 589 8298 , the password is sFzL5r. Did I do this right? We'll just hang out, and I'll see if my camera/webcam setup would potentially work. 

I've also set up a Discord Server called JennyDolfenArt, but I have no idea how to find out the ID or stream there. I've done Zoom a few times without being puzzled by it, so right now, I'm very much leaning towards using Zoom for hangouts and/or workshops. 
Edit: Thanks to elesianne, I have been able to find out that the invite link is https://discord.gg/KwCUr7 ! =) 

Future plans: I will start a workshop (of a kind yet to be determined) later this autumn (late October/November?), as soon as I have the hang of this. It will be available for the upper tiers, probably Union of Maedhros and above. Before that, I will do polls (open to at least Into the Forest and up) to determine what exactly we'll cover. I'm thinking a bimonthly thing, at a fixed time (it will very probably be in the early evening CET). 

Changing your pledge: It's a good idea to wait before you change your pledge. A few of you have already seen that I've changed my Patreon campaign to accept annual memberships. Something that I haven't found out so far is whether you can downgrade an annual membership (I think you can't), or upgrade it (probably easier). So if you're thinking of turning annual, I'd advise waiting until I've got the tiers for workshops sorted out. If you have any problems, let me know, and we'll see if we can sort them out. 

I'm slowly starting to ease into this so-called "new normal", and my art mojo is slowly returning. (About time for Inktober! I might make it a Mousetober. Or a Maedhrostober. Or just a Maedhrosmousetober, because what the heck!)

Feel free to leave any thoughts about Zoom, Discord, workshop ideas, or Maedhrosmousetobers here!

And stay safe, wherever you are in the world right now.
