I've been saying for a while now that I would do this, and I have finally done it. I've revamped my Patreon page with reduced tier amounts and a more accurate listing of rewards. These are going into effect starting November, I believe, so you have some time if you need to change your pledge, etc. 

There is a new tier: I have added a $2 tier for early page access. Since I have removed milestones, the $1 tier is essentially just a tipping tier again (I think that is how most of you use it anyway, since you guys don't normally comment on posts). You don't really need to make any changes yet, though, since I'm not posting new pages right now. 

There are some changes to a few tiers, with some reductions and a few additions. I will be doing a sketch gallery (not sketch cards, those were a pain to keep up with) and at the beginning of each month (so at the beginning of November) I will ask for requests from people in that tier and higher. The NSFW tier will get to see some uncensored pinups, etc (I have several I'm doing for Kickstarter that will go up starting next month) and I may, from time to time, take requests like I used to. But not until Kickstarter stuff is totally finished. 

Another addition is that I will now post all illustrations, FaLLEN or otherwise, here first ($2 tiers and up) before posting to dA or any other online gallery. Some tiers will also have access to the original Photoshop files used for those illustrations. 

Here is a listing of all the tiers. If you need to make changes, you're welcome to do so before the end of the month so you'll be correctly charged for November.


I want to apologize again for not being able to post comic pages like I usually do. I do want to start working on the comic again before the end of the year, though, but I don't want to start it until I have Kickstarter rewards all sent out. I have so many boxes in my studio right now I can't even get to my work desk (which has boxes on top of it, haha). I also want to thank you all for continuing to support me, even during my down time. You guys are the best, seriously. 


-------------------NEW TIER SETUP-----------------------------------


Tip Jar

$1 per month

Merely a tip jar, this is for people who enjoy the comic FaLLEN or want to support the author. Tippers will gain access to news blogs and polls, etc.


Early Access Tier

$2 per month

  • Early Access To Pages - People in this tier will get to read completed FaLLEN pages before they are made public. Pages will be left uncensored (they are censored on the website) as they will be in the printed books.
  • Early Access To Illustrations - Will also post finished illustrations, FaLLEN and otherwise, to backers of this tier and higher before artwork goes up on public galleries.


Production Blog Tier

$5 per month

  • Behind The Scenes - Receive access to a production blog that will show scans of rough pages, pages during inking or toning stages, scans of thumbnails, etc. I will also post lineart from digital illustrations.

...Includes rewards from previous tiers. 


Participation Tier

$10 per month

  • Access To Scripts - Whenever I start a new chapter, you will now know what happens before it happens. I will post my actual scripts to the Patreon page, including my dumb notes to myself (ex: "and draw Sam with a super smexy face like omg")
  • New Years Postcard - You will go on a list of people who will receive a New Years postcard featuring FaLLEN characters with a Chinese zodiac theme. This postcard is only available to Patreon pledgers, and you have to be in this tier for at least 3 months before and up to the point when I start drawing these suckers.
  • Con Video Blogs - Whenever I go to a con, I will be making video blogs. Talking to other artists and creators, showcasing the artist alleys, and giving my own sassy commentary on hotels, etc
  • Livestream Invitations - I sometimes do livestreams of new digital artwork, and people in this tier and higher will be invited to join in.

 ...plus everything from previous tiers.



Bonus Tier

$15 per month

  • Process Videos - I will start making quick videos of me actually making the pages. These will be short, sometimes time-lapse videos, but will briefly show how I make my traditional comic pages. Will do the same for color illustrations for FaLLEN.
  • PSD File Downloads - Whenever I do a digital illustration I will post the Photoshop (.PSD) file of the finished piece. People can see the different layers I use, the lineart, etc, but are NOT free to share this elsewhere. 
  • Sketch Gallery & Requests - At the beginning of each month I will take requests from people in this tier and higher for sketches I'll draw during the month. These are just sketches and are not limited to FaLLEN characters.

 ...plus everything from previous tiers.



Maximum Tier

$20 per month

  • NSFW Gallery - I will sometimes post NSFW full-color illustrations, which may be commissions, requests, etc, that are only accessible to people in this tier due to the 18+ content. 
  • Free Pledge - This is also the tier you should select if you want to pledge more than what is available (that is, more than $20). Simply write in the pledge amount you would like to give and you will have access to every single tier bonus.

 ...plus everything from previous tiers.

Yeah, I expect I'll take a bit of a financial hit for this, but since I'm not producing new comic pages at the moment it had to be done ;_;

Well, sounds like this is the perfect time for me to upgrade my monthly amount to a higher tier. I had been meaning to anyways :D Sorry about the delay in that btw. :( I was recently able to land a good fulltime job running a color copier at a print shop, been pretty busy though. I liked the calendar update from yesterday. It looked good. As for the whole thing about the new changes to patreon, I think it'll be fine. I know the reason I'm still here is because I want to help support one of the artists that makes great comics and like I have mentioned before I really like your take on the art style. I know I'm not the only one as well :)

I would definitely suggest waiting until I start posting more content before you upgrade, though! I would hate it if you upgraded and then didn't get to enjoy the full benefits despite paying extra every month (though hurray for jobs at print shops! I always wanted to work at one when I was still a student). But thank you so much for your kind words and support :D
