10 YEARS ON PATREON!!!
🕑 Added 2025-02-02 14:44:49 +0000 UTCDear Penthou--wait......Dear Patrons!
Two weeks ago, I had the thought, “Hey! How long has it been since I first made my Patreon account?” And I legit had to Google how to check that (caveman Sneak didn’t know he could sort his own posts by “Oldest to Newest”.) and, turns out, the first post was - well, it looks like it was yesterday - but the first post that contained actual content was February 2nd, 2015!
I then spent the rest of that day thinking about the last ten years we've been through. in 2015, I took a massive leap of faith in quitting my relatively cushy QA job to pursue this weird dream of mine:
"Become a successful artist."
While I'd technically been cultivating clients for commission work since 2008, it was still a gigantic risk. All I had was a few original characters (Ash and Miri, really) I'd built up over 7 years, which honestly didn't leave much to go on. I knew I wanted to put them in comics, so I had this weird idea that - in hindsight - was probably something I'd picked up from 4 years at art school:
"Make the Patreon into Captor Corp, and then tell the comic from the other side of the fence."
I have to imagine most folks didn't really recognize that, but that's what the Bounty Boards and Interrogation Rooms were supposed to be. This was our company, and you all were the employees. Obviously, we've stepped away from all that, and I think for the better! We've got two IP's now, with BOUND and Entangled, and even a Virtual Novel in the works! Kinda hard to believe we're here, in hindsight...
And, yet, here we are. I don't even know we got this far, but I can recall this one piece of advice I got from an editor at a Philly comic convention: "Consistency". Make something and post it every day. That's the best way to keep your name out there. Well, obviously I couldn't post something every day, but I've strived for ten years to post something at least once a week, and I like to think that's a big portion of what's gotten us where we are today.
But I'd be an even dumber Sneak if I didn't recognize the biggest portion of what's gotten us here: You
Ten years on Patreon is only possible with your love and support. None of this was/is possible without everyone here. Together, you've helped make 13 comic books, and over 1000 commissions! We've just begun comic #14, and I can't wait to see where we get to after that!
As a thanks to you, and everyone who's supported us all this time, I've made a little something to show my appreciation! The BOUND gals have put up with us this entire time, and I thought - after ten years service - they deserved a little R&R...
Okay, I thought it would initially be that, and then we'd tie them up in fun and fancy ways, but I caught a bad fever this past week and lost a few days to my own recovery, so it is what it is XD
A huge thanks once more to everyone who helped make the Sneak Dream possible! We've got plenty more coming in 2025 and beyond, and I can't wait to see where it goes with all of you! Stay devious, and cheers for now! o7

Lol. Have to agree with Aylee. Seeing the bondage scenes of the Ash and Miri with their alt looks has been the highlight of the current volume.

Dang, it's really been that long!! I rarely comment but this got me thinking and I've been a supporter for over 9 years since Oct of 2016. Congrats on the milestone regardless, and we're all looking forward to what the future will hold!

Happy Patreon day! I will not sing you something, because your milk in your fridge would go sour.

Congrats on 10 years! Your girls certainly deserve the little holiday together after all that. Glad they're enjoying a lovely beach vacation sunbathing - they certainly look good doing it. A shame that their holiday isn't about to go wrong (I'm sure you had something fun planned), but take care and get better soon. And congrats again on 10 years. You've done so much great stuff here. Amazing to think of everything that's happened (1000 comma!), and I'm sure there'll be more to come

I've been following your progress almost near the beginning. It's crazy to see how much your style has evolved and changed. It's been awesome to see happen! Very fun reads, great art, and built a fun community around it. Looking forward to what happened next!
Aylee
It's been a heck of a ride with some of my favorite smut ever along the way! :D Thank you for 10 years of absolutely amazing content, Sneak. I counted over 25 projects between us over the years! You shouldn't have told us that a bondage version of the anniversary pic was planned though, damn! xD Hope you're recovering well! Your streams are one of few things that one can be hyped for on Mondays. Looking forward to the next one! <3
Sneak
We're certainly aiming for them!
Sneak
Thank you for sticking around!

It's been a heck of a journey the whole way through. I'm glad that it's still going stronger than ever, and here's hoping the next 10 can lead to all new heights!

To do something for a year that’s something to do it for 5 years is silver lining between half a decade to do it for 10 years it’s legendary and a full decade and you my man are a Legend.and your art is beautiful work keep it up

Had 0 clue about you when I joined but in the 3 year's of being being patron you've yet to disappoint. The work is like no other, glad to be small part of helping a talented artist produce the art that they do.
