Swindle: As the Summer Season swelters with June. We prepare for a firecracker of a month with July! Now we didn't have much growth this month. However, we didn't have a big loss either. Due to two big patrons having to leave for this month specifically but planning to come back in both July and August and thanks to a bunch of newcomers we are still in good standing towards our next goal with a current pledge of $2,503.
Now, the main reason we reached such a goal is due to both consistent and new support from high and low tier patrons. It may be possible for us to drop below the threshold in the coming months as there are always financial difficulties, especially in the summer season but i mean it when i say every tier helps us achieve our goals and the more lower tier patrons we get, the less dependent we will be on the higher tiers to pay rent and keep the lights on and thus we’ll have more time to deliver to you the high quality comics you desire and deserve!
So to any free, former or current patrons that might be reading this, i just want to remind you that in order for the two of us to be able to focus on original comic ideas, we need any and all prospective patrons to please consider using the tiers they find affordable so that they can stay at CONSISTENTLY, which will mean more original comics for all of you!
So I implore each and every one of you to stick with us or recommend us to people you think will enjoy us, or even upgrade yourself if you so wish and I promise you won't be disappointed by what we have in store! Including the written version of Extreme Trick or Treating as well as other unreleased stories and scripts!
And a message for our "free" Members; If you could be so kind as to support us at even the lowest tiers of 3 or 5 Dollars in order to get early access to art or the WIPs, it would go SO far in supporting us and making sure we can more consistently focus on the comics we know you love. So please consider pledging whatever you feel most comfortable with, even if simply to help us grow
Business Time: I am genuinely proud of the progress that we've made with the comic pages for Titans: Primal Urges this month, especially as we get closer to the “main event” of what we all want to see, which should result in some faster pages, due to all of the “close-ups” wink-wink.
Thanks to all the breathing room that we've gotten in June we've actually made significant progress on writing out the story for extreme trick-or-treating with us about being a third of the way into the story possibly halfway. We have discussed potentially releasing it in chapters, leave a comment below and tell us which you would prefer of getting to read the entire story in one go or read it in chapters as updates are done.
As for July expect much the same as June, where we focus on comic pages and story writing with some ATSs in the middle of the month. And then August is when we will have our patron commissions open as two straight months of comic progress should get us very deep into the story without it taking a year to finish which will make us ALL happy.
Because reminder, after this story, we will begin work on Steven Universe Fervor Chapter 3, so everyone that's excited for that, get hyped! And get hyped for more Beast Boy and Raven coupling, and if time is on our side, a third costar will join the fun!
$2200 (REACHED As of 4/30/24): Will be able to release Written Stories of our future comics or ideas that we have.
$3300: Will be able to occasionally hire sketch artists to help production of comics along.
$4500+ : Will be able to consistently hire sketch/line artists to help make multiple comics and if we reac this goal, we can consider future goals for expanding into other media such as comic dubs with voice acting!
See pictures above for reference in distance to goals.
Unknowingest: I'm glad to be working on comics for a little while longer. Though we might not get to it before August, I'm looking forward to the second half of Primal Urges. Thank you all for your support. Now: back to my art dungeon.
We here at Quartz Kings Comics are eternally thankful for our loyal and long staying Patrons, Be sure to spread the word and spread the links far and wide and we welcome any and all support with open arms!
