A Very Important Weekly Update 08.03.2020... (Patreon)

…I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!

I discovered a couple toning and inking shortcuts! Glad I figured them out because I was out of town for most of the week. ^^; Family and friends are all holding up well!

This week’s plan…

Part 1: Create Webcomic Site! I’ve already started with a handy hosting site called Comic Fury. There are a lot of little bits and pieces that I’ll need to work on, but I’ll start loading the 130 or so pages this week. I’ll still be posting on DevArt but those will most likely be previews images to invite people to go to the website.

Part 2 (This is the important part): Set up a Patreon  Alternative! You may have heard about Patreon’s current legal trouble. If not, you can read about it here https://www.cernovich.com/patreon-lawsuit-owen-benjamin/  Full disclosure, I don’t know who Cernovich is, but apparently he’s a lawyer, so I’ll take him at his word. Also, I have no problem believing this story because Patreon has made some bullshit moves over the past few years.

I may simply jump over to SubscribeStar, but the better option would be to set up my own service via Paypal and Dropbox. I’m not sure how it will work just yet, but I’m having a round table with some comic friends later to figure out the best way to go about it. I will keep all of you updated.

I'm not trying to be alarmist or anything, just realistic.  Patreon may get through this just fine, but it is certainly becoming less reliable than it was a few years ago. Due to Covid-19 comics have been my main source of income since March and likely will be for the foreseeable future (My day job was supposed to start back up in July. Now it’s looking it may not return until as late as October [if at all]).

I’m not leaving Patreon until I get an alternative set up. I’ll still be posting here. I will keep you updated.

Part 3: A New Page of BLACK LABEL! This one is self explanatory. ;)

Part 4: GR Comic Page! I hope to have page 4 detailed and approved this week.

Lot’s to do and lots to think about. I hope you guys will stick around until I get a new subscription service figured out. Besides, I’m going to have new content for you soon!  I hope you'll look forward to it!

Have a great week everyone!
