Patreon Updates :: Into September and Onward...

Chiming in with a HUGE Patreon update! This will be the final content format from here on out, with some slight changes here and there depending on patrons numbers, project interest and work flow. Now, let's break down all the fresh, new updates!

Projects
I will be making some heavy changes to projects, again. It shouldn't really surprise anyone, really, since project updates have been either too scarce or not frequent enough. Some of the category titles are changing, some are being dropped and new ones have been added. The idea now, is to simplify projects so that they're easier (and quicker) to finish, allowing for more content throughout each month or even complete more than one project.  Here's a look at the new list of projects, some are already quite familiar:

Animated GIFs/Emotes - Patrons will have use of these on Discord
DTIYS Screenshot - Movie/TV Show Screenshot Recreation
One-Page Comic - Full Color, Single Comic Page
DTIYS Comic Cover - Full Color, Comic Cover Recreation
Sculpture Session - Collector's Style Sculpture Designs
Hulked-Out Hero - Characters in a Hulk-Like Form
Sketch Card Shenanigans - Tradition Artist Sketch Cards
Pinup Pieces - Full Color, Pinup Illustrations

(DTIYS - Draw This in Your Style)

Projects will no longer be available for voting, but rather chosen at random through Wheel of Names. Selected projects will be eliminated in hopes of successfully cycling through the entire list.

Projects will also no longer follow the three-month intervals as some projects produce content on a different work flow. 

Character Selections
Characters will still be chosen at random through Wheel of Names, but content featuring these chosen characters will not post until the following month, allowing me to successfully schedule Patreon posts further in advance. Let's take Black Cat and Rogue, for example. Black Cat has been chosen and announced on August 1st. Artwork featuring Black Cat will be created throughout the month of August and scheduled for September release. Rogue has been announced on September 1st. Her content will be created during September and posted throughout October. Does that make sense? 

Character suggestions will always remain open on the Discord Channel.

With that said, we will start the cycle anew with a freshly chosen character (for October) and continue Titania throughout September. 

Tiers
The current tiers will remain unchanged but two more will be added to the list. Let me introduce to you, the Sticker Suite and Sketch Card Shenanigans tiers! 

Sticker Suite - $12
It'll work just like character content, but feature characters from projects past or original characters. Sticker designs will be completed within the first half of the month and be available to ship out the following month. Sticker Suite will offer 4"x 4" diecut, vinyl stickers to patrons of this new tier, shipping included!

Sketch Card Shenanigans - $45
Cards completed during Project Sessions will be available to a select number of patrons, each card sent at random to patrons of this tier. Artwork will be featured on the standard 3.5" x 2.5" Bristol Artist Trading cards and will be shipped inside a thin, card sleeve and a hard, plastic top loader for extra protection! Shipping is included with this tier! 

Any remaining sticker or sketch card stock will be "archived" temporarily and posted online for sale in the future to patrons of other tiers. 

Other Updates
The post schedule will remain the same as well, with the addition of Commission Sketches to the Extra Bits WIPs lineup on Saturdays, when available. 

Content for Experimentation Station patrons will also be more frequent and consistent. Bear with me as I go through the archives...

I think that about wraps up these Patreon updates! Expect tier additions to change on September 1st as well as the new character selection for October!
