2018: Spring Cleaning!
🕑 Added 2018-05-19 17:28:11 +0000 UTC How's it going, my dearest patrons? I hope everyone is having a wonderful 2018 so far, and I hope you're enjoyin' the comic (GASP we're almost at the half-way mark for Chapter 3!) as well as the previews & sketch comics here on the Patreon! I wanted to give y'all some updates and talk about the changes I'll be making to reward tiers, so let's hop to it:★State of Arm Affairs★
It's been a few months since I last gave an update on the ol' janky arm - things have remained about the same! ♡✧( ु•⌄• ) I still have some weeks where I pick a thing up and something in my wrist didn't like it so it complains for a few days. There are other times I must have laid on my arm weird or spent just a tiny bit too long working when I knew I should have stopped. But for the most part, I can work on art for a lot longer than I could before! The hardest is always INKING, since it requires a steadier hand and more control than rough sketches do, and all of that wears my arm out sooner. But I'm still truckin', and I thank you guys for your patience if there's a brief lull here and there for new content when I'm letting things rest!
★Reward Tiers★
I've been wanting to update the reward tiers and the future goals for a while now, but wanted to wait until both AU comics were wrapped up next week before rolling these out. The patron-led AU story goal we hit a while back will be available for all patrons to vote on and read no matter what your pledge level, so don't worry about that! Here's what I'm planning starting in June:
_________________ $1 Soldier Tier_________________
★ Panel previews of new EA comic pages
★ Recorded live-stream speed run videos of in-progress work
★ First peek at newly inked and colored versions of the old penciled pages as I can complete them
_________________ $4 C-Class Tier_________________
★ Everything in the previous tier
★ Warm-up sketch art
★ NSFW "Alternate Universe" sketch comics: Non-canon comics taking place inside the Academy Universe, involving Al giving Ethan some devilishly risque assignments to complete, or else!
_________________ $8 B-Class Tier_________________
★ Everything in the previous tiers
★ NSFW "Alternate Universe - Basement Edition": Deviant, kink-heavy non-canon sketch comics taking place outside the Academy Universe, featuring new and existing characters
★ Hi-res PDFs of all completed sketch comics
I had plans for an A-Class tier, but I'm still considering exactly what content I'd offer there and if it would be limited in quantity. We'll see how things shake out!
Now with all that being said, please feel free to let me know in the comments here or in a DM if there are specific things you'd love to see! If it's something I can accommodate I would like to include more of what you want. ✧٩(•́⌄•́๑)و ✧
★Sappy Words of Thanks★
I wanted to say to each and every one of you who support me here, share the comic with friends or retweet or reblog posts, that your enthusiasm and interest and comments mean the world to me! (♡ °◡°) I can't possibly thank you enough, and I'm thrilled to have you along for the ride as we continue through this story! I'm really excited about this chapter (okay yeah I'm really excited for every chapter) and I wanna pound the desk and yell about all the things I'm gonna do to these poor characters but I won't spoil anything - just...hold onto your butts! \\\٩(•́⌄•́๑)و////

Ooooh maybe I should have clarified that the halfway mark I was looking at was for the Chapter 3 script itself - I'm guessing actual comic page count will also be about 100-ish as well, and there's 5 chapters in total. Chapters 4 and 5 are pretty hefty though, so I doubt they'll come in under a hundred each. (•̀o•́)ง There's a lot of story to tell yet!

Part 1 was 101 pages long. Part 2 was 108 pages long. Part 3 is 38 pages so far, and depending on whether or not the next two pages are counted in the "halfway done" this puts part 3 around 76 to 80 pages. Assuming some parts will expand themselves a bit, that means at most 90 pages for part 3, and if part 3 is the end of the story and we get a few pages of epilogue, we'll end up with at most 300 pages of story. Which gives us about 23 more weeks, plus perhaps five or six more... I hope you don't stop telling stories in this world after that point. I can understand wanting to change gears though.

A-classes are hellhounds and firedogs, right?
