Patreon Conference (PLEASE READ.)
🕑 Added 2017-05-01 15:13:05 +0000 UTCHello all and I hope your April was nice. Mine was very rainy. I was able to attend the largest WW1 reenactment in the world- it was a blast. Sadly I fell ill after I returned (fitting I suppose). My wife is still ill.
Today I 'come at you bros' with an important "conference". There are many updates to provide. Please please read this in its entirety.
1) $20 TIER MODIFICATION
You may observe that the $20 tier has been altered. Now, those who have chosen to pledge the highest amount will receive a lined doodle each month (the equivalent to the 10-tier at the recently passed annual event). Those in the tier will be asked for 10 "keyphrases". They could all be species, or genders, or kinks. I will then be able to surprise them with something they will hopefully like (haha).
My Keyphrases would look something like this:
"Dragon, Horse, Female, Human Male, Bondage, Interspecial, Pinup, Feral, Dinosaur, & Deathclaw". So, using those Keyphrases, I could reasonably surprise myself with a drawing I like.
I know it's convoluted, but a vast majority of my Patrons are unaffected by this change in policy. This is an attempt to encourage higher support tiers.
2) GOAL MODIFICATIONS
The goals will likely be altered in the coming month. When I joined Patreon in February of 2016 they seemed arbitrary, but I understand them now. The first goal has been achieved- the set was for sketches for FA content to appear here. Now they will- without waiting for the end-of-month rewards dispersal. Why? Because you can see them on FA for free anyway. I have had many attempts at duping me, by the way- Folks trying to take the rewards before their pledges pass. That is why my page is set up as thus. The next goal is at $650. If we reach this I will begin streaming for my Patrons. People will be able to come and chat and perhaps learn a thing or two. Also, I don't know if I should only stream FA content- I love surprises, and I don't know if people would rather the monthly reward be kept a secret? The next goal beyond this one is $975/month. If I have the extraordinary good fortune to reach this level, rewards dispersal will be switched to bi-monthly. To put it bluntly, TWO pictures will be made. ACHTUNG: if this phase is ever reached, the $1 tier price will be elevated to $2 (other tiers will be unaffected). I think it's fair. I'm sorry if you don't.
I have to be honest, though: Patrons are, aside from the real shysters, extremely honest. I haven't seen any Patreon content posted elsewhere (Yes, I search). I have great love for you guys, honest. If I begin to make enough to quit my job entirely (that's probably somewhere near the $2,500/month range) things are REALLY going to get crazy. Monthly animations, even. If I had all that time... It gives me goose flesh, to think of it.
3) DOODLE DISPERSAL
5-and up tiers who pledged successfully last month will be given their doodles as I finish them. Keep an eye on your inboxes. Once they are all complete, they will be compiled in a flash "booklet" containing all the images Patrons elected to share with others. It's the most sensible way I can come up with, to sharing the art, other than spamming 20 - 30 small images.
4) MISCELLANY/MUSINGS
I feel like most people who support me here already have my FA. Does anybody NOT have FurAffinity? Even if ONE PERSON does not PLEASE tell me. I will begin uploading the content from there and attaching it to all Patron tier messages. If you like me enough to support me with your hard-earned dosh, there's no fucking reason you shouldn't enjoy the stuff everyone else is getting for free.
I storyboarded a short clip for a song which i was thinking about animating. Without giving too much away, it's a deathclaw singing an adorably girly song. I don't know if I'll do the whole song (I've got about the center minute mapped). It's super cute, but non-pornographic- I was going to post it on Youtube. Or something. IDK if they'd let me, since I wasn't changing the song. If I can't monetize it oh well. It just seems so... right. Maybe you guys wanna see a few plates from it?
I was also going to do an actual pornographic short Deathclaw animation. IDK why, but deathclaws are huge right now. Did you see my assaultron post on FA? That went over like a shit-flavored lollipop. That's what I get for straying from pinups of popular species.
LIKE I GIVE A DANG. JOKES ON YOU GUYS WHO DON'T HAVE WEIRD KINKS.
What's with these icons? It seems like everybody has these super generic 'furry' Patreon icons. Even the dud profiles who are trying to steal. Where are they getting them? Don't people want real icons?
Does anybody have any ideas on what might make good rewards for the tiers? What do you think is a fair prize? I was thinking of having some merchandise made, too... Artstudio Molotov wristwatches, shirts, mugs, mousepads- corporate swag. You know. I really want to get serious with this site. What else can I do to be successful?
If you're still reading, we thank you for your cooperation. If you've already jogged off, I have your implied consent to make love to your butt while you're passed-out drunk. Tschuss!
