Tier Main-Post

Hello! 

This is an update to our Tier list - it includes all current and future perks, basic guidelines, and other pertinent items.

Here we'll go into detail about each Tier so you won't be confused about your rewards!

Keep in mind: 

• Not all of the rewards listed will be available as of now, and some will only be enacted when we reach the pledge amount to support them. We'll make them Patreon Goals, so you can check up on progress, and we'll make formal posts when new rewards are unlocked. 
• (NEW) Rewards based on community interaction (e.g. voting in polls, Ask-A-Hewan Q&A question submissions) are hosted on our official community Discord server, under Foxglove Comics. If you want to partake in the fun, you'll have to join the server! Use the link included in your Membership tab to get your special Patreon Roles and have full access to the channels related to your perks!

$2 - Feyn 

- Access to all basic news and updates;

- Early access to pages (1 week early!)

- Sketch version of all published pages;

- Doodle done by Ari, the main writer (for the fun of it!)

Every donation counts, no matter the size!  Since this tier doesn't get early-access further than 1 page ahead, Feyn receive sketch versions of pages for the fun of seeing -some- of the process of making pages (apart from public streams!)

$5 - Hewan

Includes all previous rewards, plus:

-  Access to Ask-a-Hewan (Mothorial character Q&A), asking questions;

- Voting privilege on Ask-A-Hewan Q&A doodle comics;

- Write a review of the comic, to be featured on the website. (WIP)

This is a tastier tier for those on the fence about being more than a Feyn! You get to be in the center of the action regarding community interaction and learn fun tidbits about the characters of Mothorial! 

Following the update on physical postcard rewards through the Ava tier, we'll be implementing a system where any Tier below Ava will be able to order their own physical postcards, with a small fee (to cover production and shipping cost), starting this year. The Founder group (those pledging before May 2020) will keep their 2020 free-of-charge physical postcard perk, and, if pledging in Tier Feyn or Hewan starting 2021, will be following the postcard paid order system along with everyone else.

$10 - Ava

Includes all previous rewards, plus:

- Access to all pages in the buffer (as soon as it's ready, you get to read it!);

- Access to the spoiler section in the Discord server (to talk about the buffer without spoiling for everyone else!)

- All art-related WIP/behind-the-scenes updates;

- Recognition as $10 supporter on the Mothorial website;

- A welcoming postcard (as soon as possible after your pledge, no added fees);

 - Digital + physical versions of seasonal postcards (when available, postcard-size, no added fees);

Ava's come down a whole tier from $15 to join the curious folk at $10! This is the most beefed-up Tier for a high-level, low-cost pledge - a physical reward, a public mention as a Mothorial supporter, and the ability to read ahead of everyone else! It's a great place to be. We're hoping to be able to give this Tier all the love we can!

$25 - Ackerley

Includes all previous rewards, plus: 

- Access to Mothorial side-comics for free (when available);

- Access to the main writer's monthly blog posts;

- Commission queue priority;

- Recognition as $25 supporter on the Mothorial website.

Ackerley is the big jump into the higher tiers - longer threads into the world of Mothorial, and rewards going beyond supporting the comic, to give you an exclusive look at the team behind the bird and the bat.

We're planning to release side-comics to help flesh out some of Mothorial's characters further than the main plotline allows, and this Tier and above have access to them for free, earlier than anybody else! All lower tiers and the public will be able to get them on a Pay-What-You-Want format (with a minimum set cost). Everyone will get to vote on which topics we explore, so we make sure everyone is reading what they’re most interested in.

The monthly Writer's Blog posts, directed by Ari (the main writer), go further in depth into the process of planning Mothorial's plotlines, discussing the story development and production of each section of the plot being released each month, giving tidbits about the world wherever the comic pages can't justify delivering them in their original form, and giving food-for-thought about the themes presented, all in an exclusive format lower tiers don't have access to. We're hoping this will spark conversation over the writing process itself, just as the visual aspects and story are already discussed!

$50 - Artifact Apprentice

Includes all previous rewards, plus: 

- A quarterly sketch;

- A non-speaking cameo;

- A personalized welcoming postcard featuring your personal character;

 - Recognition as $50 supporter on the Mothorial website.

This Tier is one of the top supporter levels, basically replacing one of my monthly commission slots, so we start to see the juicier rewards coming in - quarterly sketches, a special welcoming postcard, and even non-speaking cameos!

...

The quarterly schedule for requesting and releasing sketches for this Tier is:

January - April - July - October (every 3 months)

There will be reminders for when these slots are available in the respective monthly update posts, so you won't miss when it's your turn to request! 

Keep in mind:

• Your sketch gets posted along with Monthly sketches, on the last day of the month the sketch is finished on! 
• Regardless of when you submit your request, as soon as it's completed, you can only request again in the following quarter (e.g. if you use your January request in February, you can only submit again in April and beyond.)
• You can submit a prompt at any time, but turnaround might not align with your deadlines - due to the nature of the workload of doing all main Mothorial art, rewards for other Patrons, commissions, and other assorted work throughout the month, I can't always guarantee a turnaround date. If you want something delivered on a specific date, do let me know at least a month in advance!
• If your sketch is a gift for someone else and you want it to be kept private, let me know when you submit your prompt!
• Your requests do not stack if not used (e.g. if you pledge for 3 seasons and only request a sketch on the 4th season, you can't claim your unused requests - you can only use one prompt).

...

There will be a proper post detailing how we'll tackle speaking and non-speaking roles, which will be linked here when it's ready. Stay tuned.

$100 - Artifact Bearer

Includes all previous rewards, plus: 

- A monthly sketch;

- A speaking cameo (at least 1 line of dialogue);

- Illustration of your personal character in the Mothorial style;

- Extended speaking role (more than 1 page) + Cast page listing and reference sheet (after 6 consecutive months pledging in this tier);

- Mothorial physical gift (poster, traditional piece of personal character, sticker set)

- Special mention on the Mothorial website.

This Tier is the top supporter, so it gets VIP treatment! Special illustrations, speaking roles, physical goodies and special mentions, plus all the other perks available through lower Tiers!

...

The monthly schedule for requesting and releasing sketches for this Tier is:

- 1st-5th of each month: Submit your prompt!

- As soon as your sketch is ready, it is sent to you!

- Last day of each month: Public release!

Keep in mind:

• Please follow the schedule for requesting. Since this Tier can use prompts more often, it can be very easy to get surprise requests that clog up the conveyor belt! I must receive requests early on in the month so I can plan my monthly workload and get everyone's perks out on time.
• If your sketch is a gift for someone else and you want it to be kept private, let me know when you submit your prompt!
• Your requests do not stack if not used (as in, you can only request 1 sketch per month, regardless of how many months you skipped).

...

There will be a proper post detailing how we'll tackle speaking roles, which will be linked here when it's ready. Stay tuned.
