Introducing "WIPs" for Patreon / Automatic Discord thing.

You may have noticed that I haven't been very active on my galleries and networks lately. Don't worry, everything is fine, it is for two reasons:

- My family made me take some days off. Yeah, they were noticing how stressed and overworking I was, so they made me visit them (And we took advantage to get the vaccine, as I had told on the last post), and later they visited me here in my house, so I took them to places nearby my house, it was very relaxing, definitely something I needed.

- I'm still working on the edition of the Art & Biro book. Due the days off I took, I'm also a little bit delayed with the Art & Biro book, in some days I will share an update about this project, I will share it both here for Patreons and also on a Kickstarter post. So when I've been working on my computer, mainly I'm working on this book. It is taking more time than I could ever imagine, but I'm loving the result, I can't wait to see the book when it is printed and I can't wait to start mailing these books to all the backers.

New feature for Paco's Patreon: WIPs

I'm trying to fix my workaholic problem, that I was working from morning to later than midnight, which was not very healthy at all. That's why you were seeing me sharing a drawing daily or even sometimes two drawings a day. 

I prefer to keep calm and take my time on each piece, it's more important quality over quantity after all. 

You will see less activity on my galleries than before, probably the regular activity as an average artist who share 2-3 art pieces per week instead 7-10 as I was doing. That means I won't be able to fill on the "Full Resolution Pics" post on Patreon the quantity of 10-15 shared pieces as I was doing, so instead I'll share maybe 5.

I was feeling this was a little unfair for all of you, so to compensate this, I'm creating this new reward, that it is a reward that so many artists give to their backers here on Patreon, that is sharing Work In Progress (WIP, for short) of their works.

This is the first one I'm sharing! It is a piece I'm working for Izzy Otter as Patreon reward, it will be a full illustration.

Because it is a first time I'm doing this here directly on Patreon (sometimes I was sharing WIPs on the Telegram group, but many of you may miss them if you were not checking them on time), I'm showing this to ALL Patreons.

But this benefit will be only for tiers +$5 (Zoo Level and beyond)

Let me know what you think about this new benefit, and also what you think about this sketch!! :D
Hey, and don't worry, I won't show WIPs here from anyone until I receive the first approval. So the very first person who is going to see these WIPs are those who the drawing is for.

Clubhouse's Discord

A friend of mine finally explained me how to connect Discord with Patreon, I had already told Patreon that I wanted to give this benefit to my patrons (all of you) but it didn't connect automatically as I had seen it happened with many other creators. But as soon as I knew how it was to connect properly the Discord server with Patreon, suddenly Discord added all of you to the server, which created confusions for many of you. Yeah, I was also confused!

So we have a Discord server!! Yay!!

But honestly.... I'm more of using Telegram, so we will be using the Telegram's Clubhouse even more than Discord.

Remember that for joining the Discord server or the Telegram group, you need to be at the +$3 tier (Gummy Bear or beyond). If you are and you don't belong to any of these groups, let me know and I can share you the link! 

I should organize another gaming day with the Clubhouse members soon again. It was fun and I'm sure many of you are missing these events. When would you think it would be a great day to do it? Let me know!!

And that's all to tell you! Thanks for your awesome support, I love you all!!

*bamboo for everyone*

Paco.
