December Update: Future Plans & Tier Changes (Patreon)

Happy December everyone! Just wanted to give an update on a few things.

Firstly, thank you to everyone who has stuck around recently despite my decision to move focus away from creating long animations. The sketchy comic pages I've been posting recently are hopefully a good indication as to the direction I'm wanting to go in and thankfully the response to them so far has been pretty positive!

I want to try and get into a proper routine of posting at least 1 coloured comic page a week. It may not seem like much but I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to making comics so I'm still pretty slow, especially when it comes to colouring! Hopefully a page a week won't be too difficult and soon my speed will increase as I become more familiar with the process.

I'm kind of treating the current short comic that I've been posting as a testing ground so please don't be suprised if the quality or style varies! After that I'll begin posting that big 42 page comic I've been teasing forever now which will be a proper introduction to Molly and Pepper! Beyond that, if things are going well, I already have more stories with these characters in mind!

I also have plans to make animated versions of certain comic panels as well as sketch requests and even animated 'pin-ups' to be decided on with polls!

So with all these changes I've been thinking about how the Patreon tiers should be updated to reflect all this.

My initial thoughts are to have two main tiers: a $5 'Comic/Artwork' tier and a $15 'Animation' tier.

The 'Comic' tier would give early access to new pages and other pieces of art before they are released publicly as well as early rough drafts, WIPS and the ability to vote in polls.

The 'Animation' tier would give you all that plus access to any animated comic panels and pin-ups as well as the ability to make suggestions for polls and full access to my stash of old animations.

I'm thinking the $1 tier could remain as a general tip-jar that also allows vote participation and some Discord benefits.

Depending on how things go, beyond that I'm also considering opening up some limited number higher tiers that can be used to commission bits and pieces from me but if that does happen it wouldn't be for quite a while methinks.

Anyway, if you have any thoughts or suggestions about any of all this feel free to let me know in the comments!
