Patreon/Thrill Seeker Update

Just a couple of things to catch y'all up on what's happening here.

-I'm still putting together the upper tier packages, and considering the comic and remaining commissions are taking up 100% of my time, Sphynx and Pupa folks are to recieve prints of my most iconic pages and traditional brainstorm sketches along with a pile of other nonsense until I can pivot back to personal drawings. Folks have been waiting an extremely long time for those so I expect these packages to be substantial.

-The plan for 4th Instar is 2 inch Peaches & Cream stickers I'm still designing. There should be 4 individual designs you can select from.

While the Patreon is still steadily growing, I haven't reached the point of having the ability to slow down on the comics to focus on things like the site and merch. I am praying "Thrill Seeker" will have a big enough impact that this changes. I owe so much to y'all and I hope this summer will just be a spree of gifts, drawings, and lighter content. I needed one more big push.

Thrill Seeker notes:

Most have seen this, but if not, the scheduled drop date is May 22nd.

Unfortunately, I've decided the tornado pages cannot be animated if I want to make that deadline, so the only page to be animated will be page 1. With that in mind, I'm going to make that first page as dazzling as possible.

I am adding another page after page 7 of Ellie being engulfed by the tornado. I want some possible subtle gore in there, but I won't push it too much to avoid a NSFW tag.

Completed pages are going to have a few redraws, particularly page 2 and 4. The art significantly jumps in quality on the latter pages and I need it all to match in style.

The big one: I AM CONSIDERING LIVE STREAMING COLORS ON YOUTUBE. My studio doubles as a recording studio, and I've always had the means to do this and have years before. Now that there is a newer computer, I'm hoping there won't be performance issues. I'll let y'all know when lines are finalized when this will happen.

That's all for now, and thank you guys so much for hanging on during this monster of a comic. I want it to be the best of the best. I NEED it to be. Since the Elk arc I have been ragged and I desperately need a break and for the Patreon to soar, and I think Thrill Seeker will get me to this point. More line art/color updates tonight and tomorrow!
