Thank you all and more Patreon rewards coming your way!
🕑 Added 2023-08-22 22:28:08 +0000 UTCHello everyone and thank you again for joining me here. I have updates to the Patreon for you and it’s all thanks to your support.
First off, we had a poll little over a month ago about possible ads to the Patreon. (here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/85796117)
Public Releases of Movies over time
One of the things discussed and implemented is idea of releasing movies to the public after a set amount of time. We have over 60 monthly movies created over the last 5 years. That is independent of the comics, trailers, previews, one sheets and any contests we run. Roughly 40 of those movies are public at this point. My plan is to create a release schedule where roughly 6 months after a movie is available to Animation Tier patrons it will be available to everybody.
So the short story is in September, you will see around 12 more movies go public. This will include Movie 5 - Payback which was released in 2022 and has 12 parts. The idea is to put the public releases about 6 months behind the Patreon. Just understand all this is subject to change depending on how popular or well received it is. Personally, I think it’s the right direction to go and I think it helps bring in people.
I’ve always felt it’s important to put the art out in the community in a reasonable fashion. For the most part all my movies have been locked inside the Patreon. I have a huge respect for all of you who supported me with your money - you're keeping the lights on! I’ve found when we release movies to the public we get new patrons who end up staying and supporting the work. In the end I feel public releases benefit us all.
In a perfect world I wouldn’t charge anything and just create tons of art, free of charge. Since we don’t live in that perfect world your support is what helps drive the creation process. I’m always working to find a good balance between what to offer the public and what to keep locked in for Patreons. I’m still working on it so suggestions are always welcome. I know there are creators who basically release things almost immediately. I can’t rule anything out at this point but right now I like the idea we're creating a more formal public release schedule.
Voice acting
This is still on the list! At the moment I’m working out a way to get you a fully voice acted movie. There will likely be some more polls about the best way to bring you this in a reasonable format. Doing something like a full movie with voice acting and a larger cast isn’t super feasible BUT there are ways to set up something we all can enjoy.
More focus on a smaller cast
This was also in the poll and I like it! This month's movie is a little more focused on a smaller cast like last month's. We still have the crew and I aim to put a lot of BE/GTS and FMG in the movies. Again, your feedback is always welcome!
Discord!
If you aren't already part of the Discord we have a chill place were art is posted and you can check it out as an alternative to my deviantArt or main site. There are Patreon exclusive channels as well as a public posting channel for all.

The new movie resolution
I hope everyone is enjoying the new movie previews as well as the new movie resolution. I feel last month’s movie, bombshells, was one of my best. I’m still learning, I’m still working to improve and by no means am I the top animator out there. What I guarantee is I put everything into my work and I love doing it. Thanks to your support we've been able to constantly increase the production value and make things that much better. I plan to keep that going and I hope you stay on the journey with me.
OK - back to work for me and THANK YOU for your support. Comments welcome and TAKE CARE!
