2024.09.15 Big Patreon Update for YOU! Long read you may find interesting!

Added 2024-09-15 13:30:19 +0000 UTC

Hello and thank you so much for joining me here. This update is all about how you are making this place awesome. I've got a short version and a long version but the overall news is everyone is getting more stuff. The quality of the animations is going up, the quality of the comics is going up. As much as possible I want to bring you more art and animation. I am committed to listening to things you want and incorporating those ideas with my plans. Let's get rolling.

The short version

Movie quality increased - thanks to your support all the movies now have a higher production value. This means full voice acting, higher resolution, and overall better animation.
Comics quality increased - also thanks to your support the comics are, for the most part full color now. I believe most of the last 12 issues have been all full color with one exception.
Animation tier members are part of the decision process when it comes to animation subjects and transformations. that's always been the case and that will continue.
I am also committed to getting my art and animation out to as many people as possible.
Free members - As most of you know I've always been committed to getting my art and animation out to as many people as possible. With your support that fan base has increased. I think it's incredibly important to bring high quality work to the public so they can see what we're offering here. My hope is when people see it AND they are in a position to financially support us, they will!

The longer version

I want to take a quick moment to break down what I offer. This is more of a highlight list and just understand there are more benefits within each tier.

VIP Animation tier - this is one of the backbones of the memberships along with the Movie of the Month tier. People in this tier are helping me decide what to create and what transformations they would like me to focus on. To be clear, I look for a crossover between the things I want to do and the things members want to do. That overlap is where I focus.

VIPs have access to all my work. they can get every movie I've done as well as every single comic I've done up to that point in time. It's basically the tier to join if you just wanted to get everything right away. It's also the tier that really helps me keep things improving. Support at any tier is what allows me to keep production values high by buying new software, keeping my websites up to date and even taking art an animation classes!

Movie of the Month tier - this is the tier for grabbing the latest movie. Also, you get all my comics, every issue I've done immediately. Beyond that you will be part of most polls that involve ideas for new animations and transformations. There are some exclusive polls to the VIPs but for the most part the Movie of the Month is included in most polling.

Comics tier - this is where I started folks! Comics are my first love and that's what I started with so long ago. I appreciate every single person that reads my comics and enjoys them. I appreciate the people that just check them out for the transformation pictures as well. Basically, if you're enjoying any of the single panel or sequential artwork I do Thank you so much. I love making comics and I love drawing transformation art! This tier gets all my comics as well as all the updates during the month. You can get movie previews at this tier (but no movies).

Free Members - all my free members get my public previews and art. This tier also gets all my public updates during the month. If you join as a free member you can see what's coming and you will get movie previews as well. I feel this is a great tier to join if you just want to see what's going on.

Upcoming

In the next month or so I plan on codifying the release of my movies to the public. Up until now I've made it about 6 to 12 months till a member movie goes public. I have links on all my sites for access to the public files. I will be making it officially 6 months till public release. Give me a little bit to get it all sorted out but the idea will be members movies are 6 months ahead of the public. Right now they're about 6 to 8 months ahead depending. I think 6 months is a good amount of time to have an exclusive and I like the idea that once a movie goes public it will bring in more people as members. ideally. I think pay-walling stuff is important for subscribers and at the same time you just have release stuff for the public. That's where the new people are coming from.

Don't forget folks! I have tons of places where you can get access to everything. Members have the Discord where my movies are. There is also a free section of my movies in the Discord. My main website has movies and comics for everybody. There's an exclusive member section there too! Of course I have a deviantART as well as a Subscribestar. Mostly, I'm looking to allow people as many ways as possible to support me.

Thank you again everyone, I know this was a long ramble. Regardless, I appreciate you and know every single cent of support goes right back into making you art and animation. I love what I'm doing and thanks to you I'm living my dream. Now let me help you get more art and animation!

STAY AWESOME!
