Hey y'all!

I notice that there are still a few patrons to this page. If you are doing intentionally, thanks! If not, this is just a heads up that you are pledging to a dead page. If you want to tip and or subscribe for exclusive art, you should do it on my kofi page here: https://ko-fi.com/themefinland

I hope you all have had a great summer and looking forward to autumn :)

Update on the previous post

I should mention that I will be trying out the current model, but if it turns out to not work out great I will revert back to this patreon model. So let's see how things go, I may just be back to this site again in a month or two, haha!

Possibly moving on over to kofi

Heyo!

I have been thinking of moving this patreon thing over onto kofi gold. The reason is quite simple, kofi offers the same functionalities at a flat monthly fee which is quite less than what patreon charges in transaction fees (And that would also make smaller donations and pledges possible, while at patreon anything less than a fiver means you pay quite a steep percentage in fees.)

Has anyone any experiences at using kofi gold? Does this sound like a good...

New ideas for tiers

Hello!

While I contemplate on how to re-introduce the wayfarer tier later on, is there anything new you'd like to see? Or any changes you'd like for me to make into the new wayfarer tier?

Sunsetting the wayfarer tier

As mentioned before, the wayfarer tier will be shortly discontinued. Thanks to you all for joining in, one of you were a patron of that tier for 29 consecutive months, you know who you are, and I thank you and the rest of you for the impressive patronage.

The wayfarer tier will make a comeback sometime in the future, but now I wish to take a bit of a break from it and think of a couple ways to tweak and change it a bit to hopefully make it easier for me and you too

...

Cancellation of the wayfarer tier

Hello!

The wayfarer tier will be discontinued in August. After the payments have been made for the month of August the tier will be removed and the final sketches will be delivered on the first Sunday of September.

May patreon sketches

Important notice to all who have commissioned me or are in the wayfarer tier

I was contacted a few weeks ago by a small company who wants to  make a D&D creature compendium or a collection of them, featuring  art that I have made for myself and for you. I could just include all  the art, but I want to have a bit of common courtesy for you guys, so if  you have ever commissioned anything from me, there is a good chance the  creators of this book has requested it to be included.

Please  have a look at this sheet ...

Preliminary commission sign ups

Thanks for all the thoughtful responses!

Thanks all for sending me all your nice messages regarding the last post, it was quite nice feeling the compassion in them :) 

There was a lot of worry too, but don't worry! The issue I have is mostly just of my scheduling and I believe I have it figured out now, I will just reserve two days each month during which I will knock out the sketches and leave the rest of my commissions work for the rest of the month.

So thanks for the compassion and let's keep at it!

Lack of motivation on patreon

Hello all!

I am just writing this post to inform that I am, and have been, going through a phase of a lack of motivation on this platform. Initially the purpose of this patreon was to be a kind of a tip jar platform for people who enjoy my works to give a bit financial help, tips, if you may, and in return gain some small fun stuff, like works which I wouldn't normally show and personalized sketches.

It did not take much time for me to figure out that this patreon wasn't exactly ...

High res files

Hello! I hope you all have been checking out some of the high res files and enjoying them :) in case some people are wondering where to find them, they are in the attachments of each post. Also, I have not taken a super close look at them, but judging by the file sizes, patreon does have some kind of compression going on with the files. If they ever look blurry or less than top notch in quality, let me know and I will upload them to my sta.sh instead.

Wayfarer pledge tier changes

The maximum amount of pledges for this tier has been increased from 4 to 6. More slots may come available later on as I get more accustomed to handling these monthly sketches :)

40 minute stream sketches

 These were the characters that got done in yesterdays freebie stream :)

The fall

 
This was a patreon sketch for Firebird for the month of December!                     

Sharing a bonfire

 Patreon sketch for Harry.B of their dark souls character, and mine too  as they wanted him to be around as well :)                     

Legend of doggo

 This was a quick commission for username KrustyKobold of their little  corgi adventurer planning their next expedition. He may be small, but  his charisma points are off the charts, how can you say no to that face? 

Deep sea research and exploration personnel

 Did some sketching while watching some streams and decided to polish a few of the ideas.
