Me, Deviantart & Patreon.
Added 2024-06-06 10:42:43 +0000 UTCThe plan has been made. From the end of my current volume of comics, I will be pivoting to a new upload format which will see all my comics exclusively here on Patreon.
Deviantart will be turned into a means to preview what you lovely people can get behind the $2 paywall. This isn't a money making ploy, it's built from fear of banning on DA and other frustrations that have crept into the mix over the years.
There might be a plan to use direct contact/payment on DA to upload entire volumes upon their completion here on Patreon for a set (and bigger) fee, but that's spitballing at this point. Some people can't use Patreon and I don't want to leave them out (as some have expressed concerns).
Now, here's the bit you probably want to read as paywall people... you get the comics, all of them (and first if the above set fee DA plan comes into action). In exchange to keep myself visible on DA for my many watchers and readers for over a decade now... they'll get the odd pin-up along with the previews. One every few weeks/a month probably.
Since you are the wonderful people who have gone that extra mile, are you ok with the tradeoff and plan going forward, or should I go fuck myself?
Sound off below and let me know, feedback on this is very much wanted.

Totally understand the concerns over DA. To give it it's due, it's how i found this, but is recent activities have be erratic at best lately. So i completely support the move.
