2021.03.09 Message for the Animation Tier and upcoming Patreon goodies!

A message directly for my Animation Tier

Today we are going to talk about this month’s animation and the upcoming episodes.

As you might already know Cerberus Station wraps up this month. Though this story line ends we will still be in the Growth Lab universe in our upcoming animations. A lot of what you see this month and leading up to this month will tie into future stories. The idea in the April and beyond animations will be to bring you more variety with new characters, new locations, new setups for growth. Though we will still be seeing our main characters interspersed in these new animations I wanted to start bringing you more variation from our prior animations.

One thing I want to keep and even increase is all the fun transformations. The BE, GTS, and FMG focus will remain. There will still be the user polls to help guide things along. The main change will be making the month-to-month animations a little more free-form in terms of storyline. That is, they will be less tied together in a giant spanning narrative and more focused into individual months.

What is this all mean? For me, I’d like to see things like locations all across the globe, characters of all different types, maybe even transformations of unusual types or one-off type. Some of this isn’t so specific I know but I want to tell you my goal is always to entertain and bring you my best work. You, my friends and fans helped me get here. I’m always looking to give back to the community that got me this far. As I’ve said many times it’s incredibly humbling to have your support and encouragement. I consider this Patreon a two-way street. You give me your support and I give you my best art and animation. I also want you to know I am always open to your suggestions and ideas.

This Patreon isn’t a static thing. I wanted to evolve and grow in order to bring you better art all the time. I say it a lot but go look back at the last two years and how far we’ve come. We are a long way from just comics and that is all due to you and your support.

I want to add a few quick notes to all the long time and the new Animation Tier patrons. This tier in a lot of ways is the backbone of my Patreon. If you are personally looking for the best ways to make sure your ideas and your opinions are heard here are some quick thoughts from me about how to do that.

• Vote: voting in the polls, voting in anything actually is very, very helpful. This is the most direct way to make things happen here on the Patreon.
• Using that Like button: if you see something you like it that like button. This is another thing I look at when I want to know if something is popular or interesting to you. It may not seem like much and you may not feel it does much but it is important. Voting on images, on posts, on poles and just hitting that like button tells me that you’re interested. So, do it!
• Commenting on posts: this is another thing; you are always free to comment. Feedback is always welcome. Constructive criticism is always welcome. I’d love to hear from you and I will do as much is I reasonably can to make the things that you want happen.
• Messaging me directly here or via email: this is always an option as well. If you feel more comfortable writing a message, please do. If you feel your message is better in an email, that’s fine too. I realize not everything is for the public comment sections so please go ahead and mail me or message me if you have a long form question or comment. I do my best to answer every message quickly.

Some final thoughts

Thank you again. I’m sitting here at my computer desk working on hard animation for you and myself. I’m so happy to be able to do this and really grateful to you and your support. 2021 will be an amazing year for this Patreon! That is my goal and my promise to you!

Talk with you soon, take care and keep being the awesome you that YOU are!
