Commissions are held hostage during a month but then you can publicly release them.
Older commissions are free to publish now. So go ahead, but make sure to credit me!
Requests will come in 3 flavours : Solo (1 character + some action like out of frame character or a simple monster like tentacles), Duo (2 characters + some action) and Colours (which is Duo but with a touch of watercolour)
At the end of each months you’ll have a chance to vote on a selection of 10 requests that I liked, if a patron won the previous month, he won’t be eligible for the current one. The request that gets the most votes will be drawn as a fully-fledged artwork.
Requests will be posted publicly on Twitter in SD and Patreon in HD. The winning request will be in Early access once finished (one month).

Now for something a bit more human :
Hey ! I've been thinking a lot lately, seeing how the Patreon stayed between 500 and 600 made me realise it was time again to evolve and change how things work. This will be rather long so bear with me:
First, thanks to your support, I feel now more confident in Incubus Realms and it’s one of the main reasons why I’m going for such a drastic change, I hope you will be hyped! All of this comes for June, so feel free tell me if there’s anything you’d like me to adjust before that day.
The requests are a lot of fun and I'm glad you like them... I'd like however to make them a bit more polished, almost like a sketch instead of a rough. So, they'll be limited at 3 per sessions, and will be planned in advanced (as seen this month), that makes around 40 to 45 per months. 3 tiers will allow you to take a request slot in addition of everything the lower tier proposes, each will be limited to a certain number of slots, so make sure you get there first! Each of these tiers will propose different levels of content: 10$ is One character and some action, 20$ is 2 characters and some action, 30$ is 2 characters, some action and a touch of watercolours to make things look extra nice. Since I also have a digital sketchbook in the form of my iPad now, I'll take requests with me and draw them whenever I'm just chilling, so not everything will be drawn live, but that doesn't mean request nights will stop of course, it's just to get a bit of advance, perhaps just even to polish the sketches. For now, they remain planned on Monday, Wednesday & Friday night, around 8 to 9 Belgian time.
And what? Oh my, each month you’ll get to vote on my top 10 requests and one of them will become a fully-fledged illustration. Isn’t that wonderful? That’s like 80€+ worth of a commission !
Now to get back on Incubus Realms, as you know the project contains a comic series, a video game and if things go well, a roleplaying game should also be on the table (because it would be tabletop). The series has 4 chapters and the game is nearing the release of an official promotional demo. I want to put both the comic and the game on the front line, release page per page and release new content for the game each month.
Finally, considering how the sales on Gumroad are slowing dramatically, how many of you want to share the ghuraok goods but can't, I decided to make my previous work public. You're free to publish it on your page, all of that as long as you credit me and make the signature visible. Because of that, my prices for commission will unfortunately rise of 5 €, however, that means you can now publish your commissions... BUT WAIT! Not now, we're a community and I want all of us to enjoy the goods first, because we're elitists bitches, the commoners can wait! That's right, I'll still provide you with Early Access and raw quality files, because we don't want no SD twitter quality oh no siree.
I thank you for your support and hope these changes will make things more exciting for all of us
