UPDATE + RETURN TO PATREON (Please read!)
🕑 Added 2017-01-20 23:22:28 +0000 UTC Hi guys!Those of you who are still here - THANK YOU. I'm genuinely impressed you stuck with me through this dry spell and i REALLY appreciate it!
Where have you been?
Since roughly the start of November, I have needed to set aside artwork, save for just enough commissions to get by, in order to focus on what I suppose is my -other- business. In addition to the comics and online content I create and share here, on tumblr and twitter, I am pushing to make the transition into creating physical merchandise and apparel! Further Confusion 2017 (FC) was my big debut this year!
I debuted my Paw Socks , Stickers and Buttons , and a brand new dealer banner , table setup , and way of doing commissions at-con!
Thanks to the support of the fantastic community, it was a major success, and I am looking forward to Biggest Little Fur Con (BLFC) in early June as my next big vender expo.
What's next?
Dealer stuff? Done. Last comic? Done. So what now?
Next up, I'll be doing another short comic, similar to Jumbo Juice. These two comics will be printed back-to-back and Upside-down (i.e. so there's a cover with the binding on the left-hand side on both sides of the comic) and sold as physical copies.
This comic, however, will differ slightly from my last. I will still be writing, sketching, inking, taking care of lettering, editing, and onomatopoeia, HOWEVER, I will be bringing Skye on with me as a colorist! This will present no change to you or your pledges - I will be paying him out of the total you pledge to me, since the workload will be deligated & split!
What's Changing?
For now? Not much! I'm working on the first 4 pages of the comic (just like I did for Jumbo Juice) and then from there, we'll run it the same way, where you vote on what happens next for every page! (or at least every plot point... doing it per-page for Jumbo Juice kind of required me to wrap up ideas/actions within a single page... Might do it for plot points instead this time so I can spread ideas across more than a single page!)
After this comic, however, there will be a BIG change.
From here out, I'm going to focus less on SUPER REFINED comics like these, and lean towards rough sketches, which also may be colored by Skye. I will be changing this patreon to a monthly subscription fee, with tiered access to different kinds of content.
Here is an example of what that might look like. (note: each tier contains all previous teirs as well! Subject to change!!)
- $1+ access to my sketches & doodles, + voting rights for this content
- $5+ access to comics in B&W, + voting rights for this content
- $10+ access to comics in Color + patron-only stream access
- $15+ access to WIP material for bigger projects - sketches, lines, etc for comics, and more, tyour votes count double for comics and doodles.
- $20+ Entry into drawing for 1 custom sketch each month
- $50+ Entry into drawing for 1 custom full color piece each month + ??? dunno yet. Something good. Probably entails physical goods!
- $100+ 1 custom sketch each month plus all previous rewards.
So now what?
That's about it for now! I'll be rolling out info on the new comic asap - my first paid piece this month will be a finished and colored copy of the two character reference sheets for the comic! (will be a single paid post for both characters - you'll only be charged once).
Cheers and looking forward to getting started on this next comic with you! This one will be a bit longer, I hope. Looking at 8-15+ pages :)
As always, thank you SO so much for your support! Catch you soon!
