EDIT: SURGERY POSTPONED - Tier Plans for Post-Surgery Return (Wall-O-Text Edition™) (Patreon)
Content
Hey fellas and gals.
So, my surgery date is 2 weeks from tomorrow and I'll be pausing my Patron May 1st until my bones will allow me to hunch over my desk like a gremlin again. I wanted to make sure everybody knows what's up and has time to access what they'd like to before I change my tier structure. And these will be the tiers going forward once I come back!:
Normal tier (~$5) - This will be identical to your normal monthly membership. A promise of 2 painting per month, or the equivalent if I'm doing some fancy. The only change is described below.
Super support/archival tier (~$12) - This tier will also include everything older than 6 months or so, and access to continuing WIPs, sketches, yadda yadda. Extra stuff. And if possible, I'll try to make it so if you're buying an art pack or comic you'll have a discount code. I haven't done this yet, but I'll figure it out between now and then.
So basically if you're a regular monthly sub nothing will change. Just make sure to download everything you want to have access to before the end of this month! As of right now I'm planning to have everything prior to the Witching Hour comic be part of the higher priced archival tier. And either every month or every few months, I'll move more things into that tier as I go forward. But if you join a the basic level, you still have access to several months worth of posts immediately and going forward, just like before.
Speaking of something like Witching Hour, the other big change I'm going to make going forward is that a large project like that will be paywalled per post after it has been available for a few months for newcomers. My comics/animations for Witching Hour, Rogue, Yor, Megara, and last year's Emma bunny suit will be sold as bundles here and on itch.io when the time comes. The original posts themselves will be accessible for a few bucks each if you'd rather access them that way. I'll only be doing this for things that are 4 pages or more, generally. Projects big enough to be considered minicomics and not just simple before/after sequences. April O'Neil will eventually fall into this category too, as it will be 4 pages minimum. I will announce well in advance any time I am moving something to the higher tier or paywalling it, etc.
But this doesn't mean anything to any of you, since you can just go and download them all before the end of the month! Have at it! Enjoy! But when I re-open in a few months (still no idea what that timeline looks like, unfortunately), think about if you'd like access only to current posts or most things going back to when I first started this in 2022. I'm grateful either way, and even if this is when we part ways. I get it, most people's fetish cheesecake art budgets are not as fat, ripe, and juicy as they should be these days. It cost me $80 to fill up my tank today, like, what the fuck. So for every penny spent on this nonsense now and forever, I thank you. Of course I have a lot of fears about another back operation (there may be more after this), but one of the things I'm focused on is when I'm going to be able to draw again. It's that important to me now, in a way it wasn't 5 years ago. Thank you for helping me realize that.
And please comment or send me a DM if you have any questions! I'll do my best to address any concerns, as this is the biggest change to my Patreon so far. I'll be posting something like this on DA for anybody else that wants to see my posts before I take a break!
EDIT:
Of fucking course the morning after I post this I get a call that the surgery is postponed at least a month. Everything is still 100% correct except the surgery date and when I'm pausing Patreon. I will continue with April O'Neil into May, and we'll see what June looks like. Sorry for the inconvenience, guys. What shitty timing, they couldn't have let me know a few hours earlier, right? Ugh. I'll keep you guys posted.
