September 2024 Update
🕑 Added 2024-09-04 15:00:09 +0000 UTCI have finally returned from vacation! Panama was fun.
But now I have way too much pent up productive energy and I need to do stuff with it!
Patreon Billing
Starting off strong, because Apple is changing some App Store requirements, we're being forced to switch to Pay Up Front
I'll likely be applying the changes halfway through or at the end of the month.
I probably shouldn't be saying this as the person trying to make money here. this is code for:
IF YOU WANT TO BECOME A PATRON FOR A FREE MONTH, NOW'S THE TIME.
I'm saying because Patreon's also promising that nothing will change for existing paid Patrons.
NEW REWARDS
Shamelessly stolen by how, the TwoKinds fella does it. This should be fun without being overbearing and stress with how fast my life will be going forward.
- Suggestion sketches
Patrons $10 up can make requests but any patron can upvote or downvote.
Near the end of month, the top upvoted questions will be voted on by Patrons $10 and up to be sketched Vote each month on which ones get inked and colored. Watch their progress during patreon sketch streams. Sketches and finished art will be made available for all to enjoy!
(Note: No OC requests, sorry!)
If your sketch suggestion is used, you'll be credited as the inspiration (Patreon name used unless notified otherwise)

- QnA Sketches
Ask me or any of my OCs anything. Anyone can ask questions, but only Patrons can upvote, downvote and add custom reactions.
Near the end of month, the top upvoted questions will be voted on by Patrons $10 and up to be sketched.
There will be a format to be respect, to please read.

- Timed Exclusives
I overall hate it when artists spam Patreon exclusive on their gallery but at the same time I need to put food on the table. So I'll be introducing TF stories/Comics that will be posted on Patreon a month or two in advance.
I'm still not the biggest fan I think this is a nice middle ground.
- Changes to existing rewards
Wanting to rewards fun and and sustainableis difficult.
Going forward if a reward is delayed by more than 2 or 3 months. I'll likely draw or offer compensation, give away commission discounts or some other way if it comes to that.
With me getting busier and getting more Patrons, I need to scale what I offer and promise to do.
Like I said in the August journal, if you're in it mainly for the sketch, no shame in tuning down your subscription.
They're mostly supposed to be small "thank you gestures" not a second commission queue.
School restarting + (Internship?)
Some people might've caught onto this in the community server but, on top of University restarting, I might've got my hands on a 6 month internship.
Problem it'll be very intensive so if it's too much, I might need to scale down on Patron sketches and retire some rewards. The last thing I want to make people feel like I'm "robbing them content" but I need to be realistic with my output and health.
We'll cross that bridge once we get there. If it comes to that I'll warn you all so you can lower your tier or something.
Commissions
I want to open these so bad.
I need the money and a lot of people have been asking. So I'll be aiming for a mid to late September release to give myself time to catch up on my queue enough.
I'll be trying out the new format I've proposed a while back:
Personals Projects
I still plan on making short stories here and there to keep myself motivated and just have fun.
I probably have one or two short ones left in me before the BIG one I want to work and get done by the end of the year.
That should be all, thanks for reading and take care everyone!
