Here's something I've been wanting to do for a bit, hopefully this'll help make things more transparent and keep everyone better informed.
So the first thing I wanna address is the physical reward tier and other changes coming to my Patreon.
Crispymail - for $25 a month you get a 8.5" x 11" print and sticker . The tier will also allow patrons to vote on character(s) and/or theme for that month's Crispymail.
The first month will use preexisting artwork and will be limited to 10 Patrons (North America only) as a test run, but after that the limit will be lifted and going forward all artwork will be brand new and exclusive to Crispymail.
For the test run it'll be Crispy Pride for the print and Crispy 2022 as the sticker.
$10 Tier - The new $10 tier will include everything from the previous tiers + allow Patrons to vote and suggest characters and themes every month for the Crispymail poll.
There'll be a new Discord channel exclusive for the $10 and Crispymail tier where those poll suggestions can be discussed.
I plan on releasing these two new tiers on Thursday (14th) with rewards shipping out on Monday and/or after the Canada trip. Apologies on such a short notice but I wanted to release this month and it was either now or wait until August.
Changes - Going forward there won't be anymore monthly sketchdump. I want to focus my time on comics and the new tiers. Honestly my interests in doing sketchdumps has been dwindling for awhile now, they'll still be up on the google drive but for now there won't be anything new.
That's about it for Patreon news, I'm still chiseling away at the next comic script and besides Stolas I'm gonna see about having one or two more pinup/standee designs made before the month ends.
Now onto other things. First off I'm gonna be gone for about two weeks up in Canada to visit friends, I plan on working here and there still during the trip, mainly on the comic script and some smaller things.
for Megaplex I've ordered restocks on some acrylic standees and having reprints made for all three of my current comics.
I'm also restocking prints and stickers from home, but for buttons it'll take longer as the parts for them won't arrive until end of month. Really hoping I can have them ready in time.
I think that's about everything, the family visit is really nothing but I included it anyway. Hoping that this new tier launch goes smoothly.
If you have any questions please don't be afraid to ask!
