Welcome to 2024! Where we go... (Patreon)

It's a new calendar! And with Predators2 complete, refs and background work being laid for the scifi project, it's time I lay out some things for all you followers and supporters!

First, thank you for 2023. I had my first and only child this year and your support has helped us through it. It was very well planned and managed, thankfully, so it wasn't a surprise, but I -really- couldn't have done all I did without your pledge, so, mahalo nui loa for your kokua, understanding and care.

Second, this year i will absolutely be starting the canonical story that my scifi characters are involved in. It feels weird to finally say that, but things are settling into place. I'm still not 100% sure what is best in terms of platform, presentation, or style? But I think I'm close. It will be R-rated, for adults, but the 'primary content' won't be X-rated; there will be secondary work i do on the side that consist of one-offs or side comics showing the in-betweens.

Third, that leaves with an idea of what the schedule will look like. In a perfect world, I'd get a page/week done, and to do that I'd need a loose style I can settle on, as Pred2's style was just too time-consuming. But, since I do other things, like aforementioned adult work, merch stuff, and the like, I'll have to keep in mind that this bonus content comes after the primary story, so that amount may vary.

Fourth, Rewards and Tiers. What does that look like, in this kind of context? I'm even less sure of that, so I'll be looking at what some other artists might do, or if you have some suggestions, I'll be open to listening. It may require some re-structuring of the standard 1/5/10/25 amounts, and their benefits. It'd be great if I could stream more regularly and associate those benefits there, as well as...

Fifth, and last major point: Discord. I'm aware most people PROBABLY are in a minimum of 300 discord servers by now, so when I make this, it will be tailored towards my work and rewards, rather than being a full-course meal 'for everyone' server with loads of channels and stuff, but.. hey, we'll see what the community brings. Starting small, as a place to organize my art, gift art, lore, etc..

So that's all for right now! I was not told by anyone, but I am only now realizing...I never sent out the ZIP rewards for November, so I will post that along with December's content here as well, once I sleep and wake up. Then, it's likely time to do my best to finish editing Predators pages for print, which I've been putting off to do Holiday work.

I'm looking forward to this year with you all, I hope you enjoy it and my work, and if you don't--please, give me some suggestions or feedback here first! It's the only way to improve.

Mahalo, thank you guys!
