Upcoming Trophies Episode + Trophies join the Canon! (Patreon)

We're at it again. This coming Monday I'll be uploading the process of our Gengar Trophy! The goal for this series is to have a quicker turnaround, and this one is no exception. Speaking for myself personally, whenever I hit a high point of inspiration, I like to let it run its course in whichever way it goes.

For this trophy I decided Sceptile wasn't enough! This year has several big anniversaries for Nintendo, and we want to celebrate each of them. Pokémon has had a big impact on my life, so we took a fan vote over on Twitter, and Gengar seemed to be the most desired choice. Several days later, here we are, about ready to present it. Remember, we post a lot to our Twitter so follow us there! @Smashified

This will also mark the addition of the Trophies series to the "Patreon Canon," as we've called it in our previous posts. This means that subsequent videos in the Trophies series will be charged on Patreon. That brings the Canon to 3 series in total, being Smashified, Trophies, and Splatshine.

Mettaton, however, will still remain uncharged, as it was a surprise for everyone, and we felt it made the most sense to allow everyone to become acquainted with the series before charging for it.

On that subject, we mentioned in our first Trophies episode that not all trophies will have a time lapse video. Any trophies that go straight to smashifiedart.com without any corresponding video will NOT be charged here on Patreon, as we feel that the process video format is a large part of what sets our work apart, and we want to make sure anything we charge for on Patreon feels substantial in accordance to the standard that we've set with our previous work.

We're very excited about our growth as a team, and it's all thanks to your support here on Patreon. In fact, just recently we were able to buy Andrew a proper microphone! Know that each time your pledges go through, it brings our team one step closer to become self-sufficient. That's a big deal!

That's all for this update. Expect a monday charge, and remember to have your monthly maximum set as desired so you don't spent more than you intend per month. As always, you'll get the resource package and process package containing everything you need to know about what it took to create the Trophy.

Thanks again everyone.  We LOVE this new series, and we hope you feel the same!
