Yankee Brigade Studios

Yankee Brigade Studios was created to do something 1st Awesome Platoon could not do on it's own.
It was founded in response to the fading Fandom. To consolidate fans, centralize art efforts, create a better network between affiliated sites, create a space where admins can better work together and share resources. 1AP simply could not do this alone.

I do not take any of the money you guys donate for myself, it all goes into this studio.
It supports other YBS Artists, supports YBS consolidation efforts, and helps start up mech products. Which as patrons you should get significant deals on. Most of that money gets put into things for you guys really.

I've brought in artists under the YBS banner and I'm still looking for more.
YBS Artists are formed under the group "YBS Ministry of Culture"
I run this group as the primary publisher and manager as well as the artist of 1AP.
All of this to create more content for you. I'm not going to lie, this is a lot of work.

YBS uses the money you donate to fund art projects following monthly themes.
I want you guys to be the ones who vote for these themes.
Realizing that you're paying for it I will be personally giving you guys more powers over
the type of art we do. I want to include your OCs in YBS projects. I want to reward you more in our mech and send you guys perhaps some signed prints and such. Maybe some raffles I'm not sure, you can always let me know if you have ideas too.

Please join the discord if you are not in already, this is where we manage everything. I want you to feel like your allowed to help in the art development chat. All patreons are nobility ranks and have voting rights. I want you to use the House of Commons channel to recommend stuff, put your ideas in the content suggestions channel. Patreons are a major part of YBS and you have a say and a vote.

Soon, I will be publishing artwork to Pateron first, and there will be a significant delay before it is released to the general public. You will have access to alt versions and drafts of artwork. You guys are really important and I haven't always shown you this.

I'm going to really do my personal best to show you my appreciation for your support.

Thank you!
