I’m going to change patreon to per month instead of per project.

Since late 2017 I have spent around half of my working time working on Bluey, a local kids show. My role on that show has ended, and I’m making cartoons full time again like I used to. I’d like to make large things and small things and not have to finish a project every month in order to make ends meet.  

My goal is to not need to do ad reads. They helped fund my larger projects over the last few years, however I think they may harm the prospects of the video and cause less people to see the cartoon. I didn’t have an ad read on Purrnando and I don’t intend to have one on Vile Little Goblin.  If the level of support remains high I won't have them in the future.

The only tier that will change is the Manwhore Industries Board Member tier. Instead of $100US per creation, it will be $50 per month. Patreon does not allow me to change the pledge amount of a tier that currently has patrons, so I've made a new board member tier.  If you are a board member, please join the new tier, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you all for your support up until now! I don’t know what I’d be doing if this way of funding cartoons didn’t exist. My output would be crummier that’s for sure. My medium term plan is to continue making high quality shorts and music videos. In a couple of projects time I plan to finish the Meth Orcs episode I started earlier this year.

In the USA here, Bluey has in the last year ish become my kids' favorite show. Love that you were on it, hope the parting was amicable, eagerly await your volume increase. All the best!

Sorry to hear the ad-reads were apparently causing trouble. They never seemed like a big deal to me and you put some effort in to make them fit the style of humor seen in the rest of the cartoon,

SexuaLobster

Yes it was. That's cool, I've heard its doing well in the US but have no way of knowing how well other than people mentioning it, I'm glad your kids are enjoying it. Still a few episodes to come out.

I can't shake the suspicion that youtube doesn't share cartoons with ad reads as widely but it could be an incorrect assumption on my part. I'm fairly sure they are not shared as much by viewers which is fair enough, I don't want to share stuff with brand messages.

I been waiting for this for awhile and I know you mentioned in the past how you did not feel comfortable getting monthly contributions while working on another project/show. I much rather support creators on a monthly basis since I am supporting the work they are putting into a project not how fast they can turn one out.

Thanks Jonathan, that's good to hear you prefer it this way.

Well I hope this ramp up feeds the algorithm better, and I hope I can be better at not hitting enter prematurely in the future. Now is also a good time to wish the vile goblin all the luck, so as to make Groanstaff that much more likely to happen one day.

SexuaLobster

Yes! I have a good feeling about Groanstaff, hope to make it by the end of the year.

You deserve it. Don't worry about it. If it eventually leads to the conclusion of raw latex and rage melon that be great (a man can dream)

I rewatched raw latex 4 the other day because I wondered if it was time to make Raw Latex 5 and honestly I cringed a bit, I should have stopped after #1 or just done a better job.

Bluey is the only show my 2 year old will watch. We tried to break her from it, realized how much worse everything else was, and hooked her back on the show. :P My mind is blown that it has some Pleasure Island in its DNA. Now I can amuse myself by imagining the characters speaking with the voices of Fernando and Gooseman when she watches the whole series again this weekend. I hope this change helps you to keep giving us such terrific cartoons.

Thanks Brian, my nieces seem to have moved on from it but my son has only just started liking it and its fun to experience episodes I worked on through him. For now he loves all of the wrestling and dancing parts.

I love em, can't lie about that. But i do understand.
