Patreon Activate!

Last summer I said that I wouldn’t be starting a Patreon. I’m a liar.

My main concern back then was that I would be locking up my art behind a pay wall or giving myself more work then I could handle. I knew that if was to take the jump in to a Patreon, I couldn’t let those fears happen. After looking around I found the best way to give this a shot. My Patreon will run on a per finished piece support system. I’m unable to create massive amounts of content like some artists, so this way people aren’t getting charged for time I’m not arting. For the early moments, supporters can check out the rough drawings, get high res copies of the finished piece and PSD’s. I’ve even added a few line drawing commissions for the top-tier supporters because they’re fun and quick to do. Should this prove to go over well I want to add voting on future pics, raffles, and contests for full commissions. Of course, the final pics will always be free to everyone to enjoy once they are done.

I think this can be fun for both us, but to be honest… I’m a bit scared. I don’t want to alienate fans. I want to deliver art and have fun doing it while proving a little something extra. So if you’re interested, come on over and show your support! Let’s make some art together and have some fun along the way.

    So does this mean you won’t be posting anything over here anymore?

      Not at all. Once work is done on a pic, it will get posted here and everywhere else. Patreon peeps have just opted in to get extra stuff like the rough drawings, PSD and stuff. Plus not everything will be done through patreon. Normal commissions will probaly outside of that. So no worries, I will not abandon this place at all.
