Patreon Tiers and Upcoming Details!

Hello Patrons!

As I briefly mentioned in my "current state" message, a lot has been happening! Cutting a long story short, I finally moved into my new place, enjoying the new condo life! It's actually cheaper than my apartment was, and it's twice as nice, and bigger! I'll post some pics later once I think everything is the way I want it. There's a lot of home improvement projects I've been doing while trying not to die at the same time. :P

I'm now getting back into the art routine, ramping things up for Volume 2 production. The Volume 2 final draft is about 95% done, though I plan to add one more scene to it, but it won't stop me from starting the next book. I plan to start by the end of this month (July). I'm still juggling a few things like trying to get back on the search for a publisher, deciding if I'll have a brief window of commissions, among other things.

Regarding the patron tiers, after some thought, I've decided to turn the $5 tier into $3 for the temporary production cycle of Volume 2. Without a comic being released every Friday, I don't want to cheat anyone feeling like they lost something for their generous donations. I felt it was fair to give essentially everyone the access to the works in progress and Vol. 2 production over the next year.

I do not believe tier donations change even though I unpublished the $5 tier. It is entirely up to you what you want to do. Downgrade to $3, stay at $5... or give me the middle finger (please don't XD). Regardless, I'm grateful for whatever you decide or must do! Also rest assured, I'll have plenty of content to throw around once I get Vol. 2 going!

I wanted to send this message first as I'm still trying to come up with another tier that will include a high quality PDF download of Volume 1 with extra intro commentary, pages, sketch sheets, etc. Once I lock in the final PDF and decide on a tier price, I will let you all know. I will try to get this done sooner than later.

The drawing above is an early look at Arlo all grown up for Volume 2. I needed to exercise my chops and try to get his age and look right, roughly being 19-20 years old. Hopefully I hit the mark, but I'll just have to keep drawing him along with the rest of the cast as this book unfolds.

Thanks for all your support! Stay tuned for upcoming updates!
