Important Notice: Patreon Billing System Change
🕑 Added 2024-09-25 03:56:57 +0000 UTCDear my supporters,
First and foremost, thank you for your incredible support on Patreon!
As I mentioned in my last post, due to a system change in Patreon, I'm switching the billing method on my Patreon page from “per creation” to “monthly” effective November 1st. This means that every month you will have a consistent price for all of the benefits that I provide, and it won’t fluctuate based on the number of paid posts that month. All existing members will be billed on the 1st of each month from November. (New members who sign up after November will be billed monthly on the same date as their membership date.)
Your membership will be converted from a “per creation” amount to a “monthly” amount, and you will remain on the same tier you are on and receive the same benefits. Below are the new monthly tier prices:
Tier 1 (Patron only feed) - $1 per month
Tier 2 (High Rresolution artwork) - $2 per month
Tier 3 (+ PSD files) - $3 per month
If you'd like to make changes to your membership, it’s easy to modify the amount of membership within this tier or to switch to another one that I offer. Below are guides to help you do this:
Actually, since I don't post more than once in a month, I don't expect this to result in any significant change in amounts or rewards for many of my existing members. I plan to continue to post several pages of full-color comic once a month. I will try to post a similar number of pages each month, but please understand that if something goes wrong with our team and we are unable to make pages as planned, I may have to reduce the number of pages for that month's submission, or post members-only pictures, etc. instead.
After one chapter is finished, I need enough time to prepare for the next chapter before I start making the pages of it. Also, there may be situations where a member of my team needs to take a few months off due to personal reasons. In those cases, I will stop billing you for those months, so you will not be billed for months without a post.
Thank you for your understanding as I make this change. I wanted to inform all of my members now to provide plenty of time to make any adjustments before this takes effect on November 1st. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Frankly, it's a challenge for me to post every month, and I'm a little nervous about it. However, I think it's a miracle that after all these years you all still support me in continuing to make comics in English. Encouraged by this, I will continue to do so as long as circumstances allow. I really can't thank you enough.
My next post is scheduled for early October. This will be my last post in per-creation. See you all again soon!😆
Best regards,
Maririn

Indeed, Coal's story in Brothers in Arms was very sad, but that is why it was so touching. In Finding Family, we explore Coal's possibilities for his other alternate life. I can't spoil it for you, but you will probably enjoy the later chapters. I appreciate your feedback!

Oh you're too sweet. You know me very well. It's true that I often put pressure on myself. When I feel like pushing myself again, I want to remember your words. I'm so grateful to have someone like you as one of my supporters. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your beautiful message!

まりりんさん！Coal has suffered too much. Please let the world be kind to him, please?

What! ? There will be 20+ chapters?But there is one thing that makes me feel sad.After reading the old comics, it makes me feel uncomfortable to look at the happy times between Charr and his friends now.Coal's personal experience makes people pity and sympathize even more.In comparison, elias is much happier than coal.😭

I appreciate your art and how you develop it, don't put so much pressure on yourself to publish the same amount of pages. The important thing is that you feel good and that you give us the same quality that you have always brought us. I hope you don't sacrifice your health for your art. We'll wait for you as long as necessary, and personally I have no problem if you don't publish anything for a month. Don't put more pressure on yourself than normal.

I'm so happy you like Coal in Brothers in Arms! Of course, I hope to make a continuation of that story someday. But for now, I'm working on Finding Family and I hope you enjoy seeing another Coal in that world!
Maririn
Aw it's really encouraging to hear you say that! I'm so glad you enjoy our comic. Thank you very much!
Maririn
Thanks, I get it. When I'm working on comic pages, I get so carried away with it that I don't have time to make other sketches. It would be interesting to take requests and have members vote about what they would like to see the characters doing. I always have a hard time coming up with those themes haha. I'll think about your input!

Have you ever thought about making a new chapter of brother in arms? I really like that series especially Coal! He really cute though I would like to see him again.
Im Awesome
Wow. Thanks for responding. As for the 20+ chapters, I'm definitely in it for the long run guaranteed. Every chapter you come out with has me just as excited as when I first came across Finding family 1. Your comics have me giggling and kicking my feet and you are doing an amazing job.
Maririn
Thanks for your feedback! This comic may go on for 20+ chapters. The original plan was to start the story of Elias as an adult much earlier, but this storyline has taken a turn that even our team did not expect. However, I can assure you that chapters centered on adult Elias will definitely start in the future.

Like how you do holiday art of the characters people can vote on the theme they’d like to see, as for sketches anything you do on the side from your main uploads
Im Awesome
Just out of curiosity, how long is the Finding Family series gonna run? Is it ever gonna branch off to a story specifically centered around Elias?
Maririn
I appreciate your question! What exactly do you mean by “ view sketches” and “vote on bonus art works”? I can't answer all of the requests, but I'd be glad to know what you want, so please give me some details.

Would you be able to create another tier where patrons who pay your price could view sketches and vote on certain bonus art works?
