BIG UPDATE: June's Post, Growth Drive, & More
🕑 Added 2023-05-31 22:19:40 +0000 UTCOk folks! Lots of things in this post, big update time:
JUNE'S ILLUSTRATION
June's Patreon post will be, as determined by a pretty clear vote in the poll, an additional one-off 'bonus page' of Taylor from the growth drive getting cruised by Evan while shopping for clothes/having a wardrobe malfunction/hooking up in the changing room.
- Based on the schedule posted above, I won't have final data for Stage 2 (I'll be using those measurements for the comic page) until June 8th.
- On June 9th, I'll do a public stream of the work for the 3rd comic page (the stage 2 full-body update). I will likely finish this page during this all-day stream.
- Then, during the week of June 9 to June 16 I'll be working on the bonus page AND the next page update. I should be able to do a comic page + a one character pinup (the messy finish for stage 2) during that week, no problem.
- So, this means there's a bit of a delay this month with my Patreon piece, simply because I'm waiting on data. I'd like this bonus page to sit neatly with the rest of the 'story' in the comic, so patience will be of benefit to me here. Thanks for understanding the delay!
The Growth Drive + Patreon Involvement & Content Restriction
Since the Growth Drive is a fully public, and fully free-to-access venture, and Patreon content requires a degree of keeping some content held back from public release (that's what you're here for, right? You get to see stuff before the rest of the world AND help make it happen!) So to combat this:
- The growth drive comic will see a full public release WITHOUT the Patreon bonus content included.
- The growth drive comic will ALSO see a private, Patrons-only release WITH that bonus content included.
- One month after the release of the last bit of Patreon content related to the growth drive, I'll release the comic as a downloadable image pack for purchase, like I have with other work. The full version of the comic will remain available to you here at no add'l cost and will stay included with your pledge.
Growth Drive Content as Patreon Rewards:
Since it would be REALLY difficult to create a full comic page and do alt versions of a ton of frames, instead I'm going to tier the release for this content as such:
- $2+ patrons will receive the full bonus comic page(s) in black & white/grayscale.
- $6+ patrons will receive the full bonus comic page(s) in color.
- $15+ patrons will receive WIPs, etc. Tiers from $15+ get access to the benefits as usual according to your tier, so on and so forth.
My Commission Channel is getting an overhaul!
If you're a member of my telegram commission update channel, it's getting a full overhaul. Thanks to some new features, I can now allow comments/discussion, polls, etc all without having to reveal my actual telegram handle (which was my personal hangup, keeping me from creating groups/etc before).
The telegram channel, found at t.me/kihucommissions - will feature:
- A mirror of the work posted to my twitter
- Commission opening updates (Don't worry - patreon still gets their unique opportunties in discord, and gets notified first, but this is a great option if you don't use Discord!)
- Polls and other general stuff
- Growth Drive updates
- All other updates regarding my art/work.
Thats a wrap!
Thanks for sticking it out on this big update. Cheers, thanks for your support, and I'll catch you all for a special Patreon-only stream of the bonus comic page over on the Patreon Discord Server during the week of 6/9 to 6/16!
