Onward and Forward! (Patreon)

Hey gang!

Lots of info and updates below, so please read when you have the time!

Thanks to everyone for your input on the last poll! It seems there's a nearly unanimous approval for moving on new, bigger projects! Thank you all so much for your continued support and feedback! I know you'll all miss the sketch-a-thons, but I think this will lead to more fun and impressive projects. =)

Livestream Sketch-a-Thons

This upcoming Wednesday, the 26th, will be the last livestream sketch-a-thon. If you''d like, I will allow folks to submit one last sketch request. I will still do the sketches as warmups from time to time, so I'll continue to be go through old sketch requests. They will still be randomly selected, but will be drawn on a less consistent basis.

New Projects (Comics & Animations)

After that, I'll begin working on new projects! Specifically, I really want to do a Mavis comic, but otherwise patrons will be able to vote on what projects I work on. The WIP and completed projects will be available to all $3 and up patrons. 

$3 and up patrons will gain access to a new "Projects" Tier. $1 patrons will still have access to the high res monthly illustrations and other high-res content, and be able to vote on everything like usual. I'll be charging at least $3 for these projects on Gumroad, so I feel that it is fair to have the $3 tier get those rewards + the existing wip content. I can't guarantee I'll be delivering the completed projects monthly, but the wip content for them should be updated on about a weekly basis.

Patreon Exclusivity + Bringing Back "Bonus" Content

I've decided I'm not a fan of total patreon exclusiveness in regards to what I work on. It feels too paywall-ish to me.

As such, I've decided to go back to creating "Bonus" content for patrons and Gumroad purchases, like I did with 'Big Trouble in Little Yordle'. As such, both the previous month's Sona x Ch'Gath, and any future monthly illustrations will have a 'base' low resolution release. Patrons and Gumroad purchases will contain special exclusive variations, pages, etc.

For this month's Dark Magician Girl illustration, specifically, patrons and Gumroad will get the penetration, cum, and 'bukkake' versions.

Sketch Tiers

New monthly sketch Tiers are now available for those who still would like them at the $10, $15, and $20 levels.

I will say, I can't always guarantee I'll send out reminders for these monthly sketches. If your a patron and your paying for a monthly sketch, it's up to you to let me know what you want. I'll of course try and do so, but I don't want to be stressing over whether or not I've gotten someone's request in or not. Just please keep that in mind and keep on top of it and hit me up when you have the time to do so.

Ima be real with y'all

I work in retail. I hope to one day not work in retail. Currently, if i take on a bunch of commissions, make maybe one weekly retail paycheck's worth in a month in art. I'd love to be able to cut back on hours and do more art, across the board. I understand I have to work harder to reach that goal, and it's going to take a lot of effort and patience. But it's a goal. I'm going to try and work harder to get there. One day, I'll make it. I'm determined to.
