Sorry for the delay, but I wrote out the readmes earlier today and its all good to go now ^^. Please let me know if I've made a mistake, or you have any comments and critisisms ^^.

Please note that if you joined since the start of the month, then you wont have recieved links as your first rewards cycle will be next month, once payment has gone through. sorry about the wait but thats how this site works :(

ALSO! Dont forget to vote! I will be closing the vote very soon so if yo...

Where are the rewards?

Hey everyone. I have made and uploaded this months rewards; but I am still yet to write up my readme files, which can take quite a few hours.

This week I have been spending every hour I have animating the last sequence of the desktop growth, which I need to finish by tomorrow to give off for sound, as I'm about to take a plane over the other side of the world.  If I miss the deadline then it means I'll have to push the ammended desktop growth animation back yet another month, which I real...

Vote and News

The vote live. If you have votes, then check your notes for your ballot. And check your notes after you cast one too, because I am responding to people whose votes aren't valid for whatever reason, so make sure you're there to fix it so it counts! If you've cast a vote and I haven't replied to you, then it has gone through correctly.

And if you think you should have received a ballot but did not, then send me a note and I'll investigate.

As can be seen from the ...

Ballot to be sent soon, and thank you <3

The ballot will finally be sent to everyone early next week, on Sunday or Monday depending on when I have a few free hours. I apologise for the protracted, and possibly confusing voting process; this is the first vote I've conducted on this scale, and the next time around will be a lot smoother! At the end of it I will have some big thank you so for an individual in particular, who has helped by making some awesome tools to make it all possible <3

On an unrelated but similar note;

Number of votes sent ^^

If you have been in a tier with voting rights ($5+) at any stage before this month, and after August of 2015, then please check your notes and cross-check how many I have awarded to you. I have used a script to tally them so there should be no human error, but make sure just in case ^^. 

If you didn't get a note from me and you think you should have, then oh no an error occured! Please note me ASAP and I'll sort it out.

I'll be sending out the ballot within the...

Emails didn't work - will be noting you the info

So the spam filter triggered and only four people got their emails; three of which got 2 after a second attempt. My apologies for this. Working out a good system that works as we go along ^^.

However, I'll be sending the notes out manually over patreon starting tonight. The order will be random so please don't freak out if it takes a day or so for your note to reach you; I have a lot to get through!

Cheers,

Acheroth.

Vote totals going out

OK, I have my list of names and number of votes, the only issue is how to distribute them. I dond't want to post them here for privacy reasons, so I'll be sending out everyone's vote tally individually, so you can check with your own records, and let me know if you think I have made an error in the tallying.

Please note this wont be the voting process itself.

Now, the plan is to run an automatic script which will send out the 300 odd messages to the emails you have associated ...

Sorry for the silence - vote still coming up, will reply shortly

Hey guys, sorry I've been away the last few days; I have been frantically finishing off the desktop growth animation so I can send it off to the sound guy ASAP... so he can hopefully make the sound before the end of the month.

I just finished it then, and I'll be rendering it overnight. I have a number of notes which I will get to tomorrow as I'm off to bed right now. And work out the votes and send the ballots. So check your notes/this page over the next couple of days ^^

Rewards sent!

Check your notes, as you should have all been sent one.

As always, please let me know if I have mad an error, or if you have C&C, even if its negative ^^ I want to make this as good a page as I can for you.

Also, a slight change with the coting; I will be including last months voting rights for this coming ballot. Sorry it has been delayed, I've been a bit busy of late but I should be able to get everything sorted this coming week. Expect to finally see your...

News and Ballot

News:

Still no new HD video; but if everything goes to plan with it (which it hasn't so far :p) it should be out next month. So if you are in the HD tier, be aware that there is no new HD content reward from previous months.

Ballot:

Only a handful of people excersized their nomination rights this month, so the ballot is a lot smaller than I had feared it would be. And its full of quality! I will be sending out the official ballot at the end of the month, or shortly i...

Nomination credits sent out

I have sent a note to everyone who has banked at least one nomination credit; please check your notes as those who have enough to nominate will need to reply within a week to get their proposed animation on the ballot.

If you didn't get a note and think you should have, then let me know what months you pledged in the $15 or $25 tiers, and I will check with Patreon's records and rectify any errors I may have made immediately!

There were five past pledges who accrued nomination credits, bu...

glitch in a video

UPDATE: Fixed ^^

Whoops! Someone has pointed out that there is a glitch in the desktop growth video. I'll try and have that fixed later tonight, my apologies i didn't notice it earlier.

Rewards sent!

Everyone who signed up before the start of this month should have got a note regarding the rewards! If you did not, then I apologise; please note me and I'll sort it out.

If you signed up after the beginning of this month, then you have unfortunately missed out on this payment/content cycle. However, please send me a note and I'll link you to the last WIPS when my account was on hiatus, and such content was free.

Please keep an eye on my Patreon page in the coming weeks; there will be an...

One More Day

Hey all; the rewards will be out in the next 24 hours; I just have a few finishing touches to apply. Thanks for your patience this month <3

Rewards will be a few days late

Sorry everyone, I stuffed up a render which will take a couple of nights to redo. But this could be a good thing, as one of the shots needs a fair bit bit of cleanup so I can work on that while it renders and get it everything looking better.

It should be ready to send out Friday night/Saturday morning.

no new HD video again; more rewards added

Hey all.There will be no new HD video again this month; the sounds for desktop growth isn't ready sorry. The HD link will be to the dragon growth animation.

All tiers will be getting a link to the animation I recently released on FA/FN as I want to avoid monetizing it; and the public can download it anyway off FN.Also, additional rewards have been added to tiers. $10 patreons will now get access to the past 3 months WIP rewards; $15 patreons will get access to all past WIP rewards, and $25 wil...

Rewards and Voting News

The rewards are out! Please let me know if you haven't received a message, or you believe that I have made an error, shoot me a note! As always, comments and criticism is greatly appreciated <3


Now, moving on to other matters...
I want to go back to the original intention of this patreon page, and make it more user driven.

LOOKING BACK
Last year there was a vote and dragon growth 4 won. You might have noticed that I haven't done a whole lot of work on that one. After t...

Rewards will be posted tomorrow

Hey everyone, I'd like to render for another night to finish off a segment of one of the animations before I post the rewards, so I'll be a day late with posting them. My apologies but I think it'll be worth it to get that little extra ^^.

There won't be a new HD video this month

Just a heads up; there won't be a new HD video in this months rewards; Desktop Growth will be released next month. The HD video link will be the Dragon Growth Animation set again. Please keep this in mind as you might want to adjust your contribution down. 

All other rewards will be given as normal.

Video Link

Hey everyone; I'm about to post a link to a 360 VR render to FA, so its only fair to give it here since not everyone will be on there ^^.

If you don't have a VR player like an Oculus or google cardboard, it's not really worth checking out as it doesn't translate well on a monitor; but if you do you might want to check it out! Please let me know what you think if you do ^^

Its a render based off the elevator growth animation I scrapped a while back; I didn't really clean up any of t...

August rewards are out!

I should have sent all supporters who signed up before this month a note, either linking to the content or notifying of a declined payment. If I missed you then please forgive me! It's not because I don't love you, its because Patreon still presents me a messed up list with people not in the right tier. Just send me a note and I'll link to the rewards ASAP.

I would apologise for being a little late, but its only the 6th if you aren't living in Alaska. So I think I'm in the clear.

As...

July 2016 patron supported

Thank you so much for the support this month!

The process

Hey all! I thought I should write a quick post to explain how my patreon will work, since I have a lot of first time supporters <3

At the end of today, you'll be charged what you have currently pledged. The majority of the payments come through to my page in the first day; however some payments will take longer, up to 5 days.

I send out the rewards after this period; which is usually the 5th. However, some months they might come through a day or two later, as I might be waiting on a r...

Payments will be re-activated now :)

My papers have all come through so later this month I will re-activate payments from my supporters (you ^^). I'll be making some slight edits to the rewards and such over the next week, and I'll be posting some updates explaining what I've done and what I intend to do from here.

So for all of you who have joined up over this free trial period (and there are a lot!), this means that payments will need to go through at months end before you are sent the links to the rewards that match your s...

No rewards this month :(

Sorry everyone; this is the third month I won't have rewards up. I worked regularly in the first two weeks of the month, but it was mostly on the 40 odd second intro to the desktop growth video, as well as some scene dressing. So rather than try and scrape together a pretty dull collection of rewards which wont excite, I've decided to bundle what I did into next month. Please bare with me, it'll be worth it!

As for my new supporters, please send me a note telling me that you are new an...

May rewards are out!

Hey all! This months rewards are finally out! Sorry about the delay.

Its a bit of a smaller update this month; just 17 seconds of dragon growth. I faced a lot of challenges which I wasn't anticipating, which I have outlined in the readme files. However, hopefully what is there is a high enough quality to get excited about ^^. Plus, there is an extra little project to share work on so enjoy that too ^^.

As usual, please feel free to give C&C; even if its negative. I'd rather k...

March Rewards Sent

Hey! Just to let everyone know, you should have gotten a message with links to the new rewards. Please let me know if there are any feedback or issues (Aside form me saying 'hey' twice and addressing you as 'everyone' in a PM... I saw that immediately after I pressed send ^^)

It was a big update; 57 seconds of new animation so hopefully you enjoy XD

Streaming now

I am streaming now for a bit. If you miss out, then a recording should be listed in the video section of my picarto page ^^

March Update

I've been working on this months rewards, and hopefully you guys will like the progress when it comes out later this month  ^^. In the mean time, I just wanted to write a post to give an update to what has been happening/will happen with my patreon.

Part Time Goal Met

Wow, thanks! That seems very inadequate but what else can I say? When I started this patreon last year, it was mainly to just try and make some money off what I was intending to make anyway...

Streaming

Gonna stream for a bit now if anyone is interested.

https://picarto.tv/Acheroth

I will try and set up a regular stream soon so people have advanced notice. If you have missed this, then check out the video section of my page as it should have been recorded <3
