Three new tokens to choose from

Still making a decision on that free metal token? Well, here's a few more choices I just added to the store. Also, many of you will receive one or all of these as booster tokens (those that receive booster tokens as part of their level).

About half of you have already let me know what metal token you would like. As a reminder, on Thursday I will be placing the order. I will make the metal token choice for any outstanding surveys.

Someone mentioned with so many options how do you choose just one. For $8 each you can add any metal token you want to your pledge level via PayPal to aaron@aaronbmiller.com.

Energy Token Artwork

I kept busy all weekend working on this. 

You all know how awesome the metal token promo is. If you shared the page with a friend I'm sure they will thank you later. Again, every single level gets a metal token of choice.

FREE Metal Token Wave!

All patrons get something extra special for Wave 6. One FREE Metal Token of their choice. 

This is in addition to anyone getting one of the Wave 6 Metal Token. 

You get a Metal Token! You get a Metal Token! You get a Metal Token! You get a Metal Token! Everyone gets a Metal Token!

You can choose any token in my collection. Even previous exclusives since, well, you're a patron. 

Wave 5 is a go!

Thanks all! I'll get these going as fast as I can for you all. I had so much fun painting Clucks. I hope the lucky patron that gets the toy enjoys it.

Elf Warrior - Ranger

Hey! 

Ya'll are getting one of these in Wave 5.

Human Token - Little People

This might be nostalgic for some or just an antique to others. I found this while on a run one day and had to paint it. I had played with these when I was a kid.

Well, since we've been on a humorous toy kick this will be one of the booster tokens coming in your packs.

Thanks for playing along with me. 

Clucks the Servo preview

Hey hey! Clucks is ready to roll. Don't forget, someone is going to get this guy with their tokens. You'll get a small box rather than an envelope.

He pairs nicely with the Robot Penguin Token and one more surprise token I'll announce later this week.

Metal Kraken Token

I'm waiting for the shipment to arrive. I'll let you guys know when I get them so you'll have an idea when you'll get them. With San Diego Comic Con/GenCon coming up I have a feeling a lot of companies that make stuff are making a lot of stuff. If you're in dire need of the regulars, let me know.

If you ever have questions, let me know.

Some Token Updates and Additions

Once again some of those random booster tokens may not be so random. So, along with the new 1/1 Cat as promised one or more of these will end up in your packages.

The Warrior is an updated artwork. The Skeleton is new. The Zombie Cat is a reclassified Cat token that finally has it's own token class. The other will be discontinued. A new Knight Ally and Soldier.

Once they arrive they will also be in the shops.

I hope these come as a pleasant surprise.

Thanks again for your continued support to make these happen.

Kraken Token!

It's ready and waiting for you guys. Wave 4 closes on the 30th. Tell your friends if you can. 

One new tier opened; The Collector - $500. Own the original 9x12" oil painting if that's what you're into.

Thanks again for helping make these paintings happen. I'm so happy to reward you all with "tokens" of appreciation. 

1/1 Cat Token

Hi everyone!

This will be one of the random Booster Tokens added to Wave 4. 

There's still time to vote on what the next token will be for Wave 4. We are pretty close now and I'm surprised and excited at the results. I have a feeling although one of those options will be made for Wave 4 I can assure you the other 2 will surface in future waves. 

I'm looking forward to painting up what ever wins and keep an eye out for some progress images.

I'll be at GP Vegas next week and I hope to see some of you there!

2 New Tiers

Hi everyone!

I've created 2 new tiers. You can totally change up your reward option any time. You can always move up (yeah! whoo hoo!) or down (I might cry a little though).

The Soloist is for folks just wanting a "token" reward to help out. I'm not really sure this fits most of my fans, but I thought the options should be there.

The Wizard is what I think a lot of you might be interested in. It's easier access to the Patreon Exclusive Metal Token plus a few of the rest. I would not be surprised to see this one being the most popular. It's a great deal, especially for something no one else is going to be able to get.

Also, one more opportunity to say thanks for being patrons. Please stop by to say hi if you happen to be at GP Vegas or GP Cleveland this month.

Wave 3 is a go!

Wave 3 is now closed and you all get to look forward to  your tokens!!

Thank you so much for your continued support.

I hope to see some of you at GP Vegas or GP Cleveland.

$400 mini goal

Maybe some of you noticed the reply in one of the posts, maybe you didn't. But, I did promise if you guys got me past $400 for the month I'd add in those 5/5s and 6/6s.

This really is going to be month of dragon tokens. Everyone will get at least one of these. 

These will be Patreon Exclusives. These won't be available to anyone else but you guys. Any extras from this small batch will be in future boosters. I expect over time that many of the boosters will end up being random, but exclusive to patrons only.

5/5 Red Dragon

Hi all!

The second highest poll option was for a 5/5. Well, now you're all going to get one as an alternate art version of the open P/T Dragon of Red Rocks Canyon! 

Everyone getting mailed tokens will get one of these as a random booster. 

Dragon Token

Looks like the Dragon Token won out. This is my beastly mountain dragon from a recent painting called "Hunter's Mark". I wanted to give you all a first look.

I'll be following this with a poll to let you as a group help decide the P/T. So, keep a look out for that poll. And a few other goodies and reward options coming for Wave 3.

A few weeks after Wave 3 ends I'll be at GP Vegas. If you are going I hope you will stop by the table and say "hi!".  I might have something for you. ;)

1/0 Blue Elemental

One more additional token that will be coming out soon. A 1/0 Blue Elemental with alternate art on it from my open P/T version. Everyone getting a random token will have this included as well.

3/3 Hippo

I wanted to share an alternate art for a new 3/3 Hippo Token. Patrons getting random tokens will have a Hippo added as one of but not so random of course.  

May Token - Vampire Knight

Hello,

I wanted to say the first wave went well. A little bit of a bumpy ride but we're on the other side of it. The poll looks like it was a tie between an Angel and a Vampire Knight. I went with the one that I knew I could deliver next month.

Now that we're on track, Wave 2 will close Sunday, April 30. Most packages will ship the next week. I am considering ordering a minimum of 10 metal exclusives so I can ship those the first week too. I'll have to get creative with how to handle the extras.

If you had any issues, any questions, or ideas please feel free to send me a message.

My only scheduled GP is Las Vegas this year. If you're planning to go I might try to have something planned for any of you Patrons that stop by the table. There's also going to be a cool art show. They are running a Kickstarter now to help make it better. 

Instragram contest

A chance to grab some free tokens.

Wave 1 update

Thanks for becoming a patron. If you've been following along you'll know that I found out after I closed the first wave Patreon does not change anyone until the 1st. So, on April 1 if you are a new Patron after the Wave 1 close post and are charged I'll be including you in the first wave and will immediately send out a pack to you.

Thanks for all your patience and understanding. 

Also, don't forget to vote on the Wave 2 token if you haven't already.

First Wave Closed: Rat Token

Thanks everyone for supporting me. This first wave will be shipped as soon as possible. I'll be now ordering a few specialty items like the metal tokens. 

What to expect next.

Moving forawrd I'll send out at least one survey to see what kind of token you all want to see next. Now that this is underway I can share with you process shots. And I can look into sharing with you live feeds when I have the opportunity.

Metal Token Samples

I wanted to show you guys how cool these metal tokens are. I needed samples so I'll be giving away some of these to the first waves folks.

March 6 - 10 AM CST

This is when I'll end the first wave and and lock everyone in and place my orders. You should get your packages before the end of the month. 

Clue Token - Skull

This is the second Clue Token I'm adding to the stores soon. And, just like the other, $10+ patrons will have this added to their booster pack. 

Thanks!

A

New Clue Token

I'll be adding this Clue Token to the stores soon. Thought you all would like to see it. 

Bonus! All the $10 + Patrons will get this in the booster.

Thank You - Free Artist Proofs

As a thank you all my new patrons receiveing tokens in the first wave next month will also get a free signed artist proof. 

The $20 and above will get a foil artist proof. 

Rat Token

Hi everyone!

The Rat Token will be the first token to get things rolling. It has been on my "to do" list from the fan genereated list created during the Collector Token Kickstarter campaign.

We'll give the Patreon campaign a few weeks to get out there a little before I hit the "go" button. Or I'll hit it if my first goal is reached. Whichever comes first.

If you have friends that might be interested please let them know.

Thanks again, I can't do any of this without the support of  fans like you guys.
