BIG NEWS!
🕑 Added 2016-11-30 02:21:49 +0000 UTC The charge upfront feature is finally here! (Though it would've been nice to know that my payout would be put on hold until halfway through December BEFORE I switched. So much for buying Christmas presents.)This means that instead of having to keep track of who has what and sending it out accordingly, I can just post the links and leave them. Huzzah! This makes everything faster and easier! No more confusion!
Also, this means that I can post any other fun stuff WHENEVER I MAKE IT instead of waiting around until the 1st of the month. This is great!
And speaking of fun stuff, I plan on making a new tier or two and would like to hold a vote of sorts. I may or may not include more than one option; it depends on how much demand there is. Just pick the one thing out of both tiers you would want the most.
Potential $10 tier rewards (vote for one):
1. World Building: I made this great big world for my characters but explaining all of it to everybody is a great way to bore people. Only serious fans would be interested in the finer details of the empires and kingdoms that have not yet made a big impact on the stories. Though, those details might give readers a fairer understanding of the events being set into motion. Also it gives me an excuse to release more spoilery concept art than I am comfortable with sharing on the $5 tier.
2. Couples Wallpapers: I really need to have more non-comic art of my characters, and you all seem to really like the couples bits. So how about focusing that energy into full color wallpapers? I am open to offering voting rights as to who the couple of the month should be.
3. Far to the North Thumbnails: I generally create the thumbnails in batches before sending them to Isa of Namesake for editing. For folks who think it's worth the money, I'd be willing to post the thumbnails here as I'm sending them to Isa. Take note, they often get little tweaks here and there and the final versions may be different than the sketches. Lately I have been doing batches of 8, which is a month's worth all at once.
Potential $15 tier rewards (vote for one):
1. NSFW: I want to keep practicing with tasteful nsfw goodies. This would include any more Eros/Psyche stuff as well as whichever couples you guys would like to see.
2. Tutorials: I have never done an art tutorial. I will tell you that right now. And I use a program most people have never heard of (OpenCanvas 6 by PortalGraphics) which doesn't have all the features of Photoshop but does everything I need it to for way WAY cheaper. However, if there is something art-wise that you would like to have some of my insight on I'd be happy to share. It would not really have any fancy terminology that I see in other tutorials because I am entirely self taught (aside from a couple of Adobe CS intro courses that weren't worth the money) and have no idea what setting a layer to "multiply" does.
Looking forward to hearing what you all have to say!

I am interested in the world building and the tutorials!

I would recommend world building, couples wallpapers, and NSFW art. I follow a lot of artists for that kind of content.
k, I'm apparently not functioning this morning, but $10 world building and $15 NSFW
I'm gonna go with
LadyKube
Mmmm. For me I really like the world building sooo $10-World Building $15-NSFW (cause your characters rock!)
Honestly, I really support Bill Meahan's idea, but if it's not the option in this situation, I will vote like that $10- Couples wallpaper $15- NSFW
Bill Meahan
$10 Couples wallpaper and NSFW $15 world building. This would likely attract more prospective patrons as world-building is a pretty esoteric thing that only truly dedicated fans would be interested in and there are likely few of those. Couples wallpaper and NSFW would be interesting/attractive to a far wider audience but $15 might be difficult for many, especially if they are supporting other creators on a limited budget (like me) hence making the potentially-more-popular perks expensive, the uptick in support would likely be far smaller since few(er) would go for it.

I actually care about the world building and the couples wallpaper and nothing in the $15 section.
Becca
$10 - world building $15 - NSFW
$10- Couples wallpaper $15- NSFW ;)
Kendra
#1 on both tiers, please!
Scott Early
I also agree with Sarah; I also think Madelyne brings up great thoughts also.
Andrew Diseker
I agree with Sara Zeigler, #1 on both tiers.
Madelyne Perry
For $10 I say couples and second favorite is world building. I CANNOT get over romances so I'm a smut fan. :3 For $15 I say both are AMAZING ideas to offer, but I think the NSFW reaches more of your fans? Just my opinion. Love you and everything you do, and none of these options are losses for us! <3

I vote #1 for both $10 and $15 tiers
