Well, that can't be good.

Endy and Callie are getting hit by Patreon's fees.  Ha. Ha ha.  Heh.  Ehhh.

Guys, help me with the math.

I've already lost $16, and two patrons dropped because of these changes.

I'm not good with the math but I'd like to change my tiers to reflect the payment problems.  I want you to pay $5 or $10 or whatever and I will eat the rest.

Here's my tiers, I need to know what the price will be:

$1. (Sorry you can't go lower than $1 on these :/)  I might have to remove this one.  I think you can put in whatever you want for support, but I can't change this.
$5. ->  ...

Patreon Changes Part 2

Okay the above is the approximate cost increase for Patreon. Please note that this is for each individual pledge. That means if you're giving Artist A $1 and Artist B $1 currently ($2 total).  The artist gets about $.80 each from that (guessing based on how much Patreon takes from me, but not sure what it is exactly). Then after the 18th, you'll be paying $1.37 each ($2.74 total).  And each artist gets $.95 from it.

Remember this is PER pledge.

I really think Patreon should to...

Patreon Changes

So, Patreon is making some changes and I'm not real sure what to think about this. But I don't think there's much I can do about it.

So before, we Creators paid all the fees associated with our accounts. You pledge at $10, you pay $10.  And we ended up getting about 80% of what was listed on our accounts.  (For me, I was paying about $100/month).

Now it looks like Patrons will be sharing some of that fee, so that Artists get more of the payment (95%), while patrons cover the re...

Putting it all together.

 I haven't gotten Callie and Tunc's text approved yet and Callie's player usually doesn't come online until after 11pm on Tuesdays. So I'm going ahead and posting this. I don't think the meaning will change much, even if the text does.

Kaerwyn Issue 12 Page 25

Endy is so done. SO DONE. That or this shit doesn't phase him anymore. He just wants his coffee.

Sorry for the lateness of this, I had to get approval from Callie and Tunc's players.

Kaerwyn Issue 12 Page 24

Thankfully she doesn't weigh much. Not that Endy would complain about it in front of her.

Issue 12 Page 23

The investigation continues.

Kaerwyn Issue 12 Page 22

Back to work on Kaerwyn.  Time for an investigation montage.

Lore's so gullible.

Yesss, despite having a horrible headache, having to get Thanksgiving Pies, and making dinner, I still managed to get this one done.

Workin' on BT!

Good news, I've pretty much written out the rest of Issue 20!

The above image is from the next page.  So I'm going to try to get you at least one new page finished this week (The above). Then I'm going to sketch out the rest of the pages for this issue.  Sketching is the hardest part. Once that's out of the way, Inking, coloring, setting up the BG's isn't terribly difficult (Just time consuming).

It has the added benefit of the fact that I don't like to leave things unfinished...

Black Tapestries

First, I hope everyone has a good week and those in the US have a happy, and safe Thanksgiving.  And please don't go to Walmart on Friday. Oh god, not the Walmart*.

Anyway, I wanted to ask you guys a question about BT and please be honest.  I have some free time now that I intend to work on just BT but I have two options:

#1. Just work on getting comic pages done.
#2. Get the site working again.

#1 I intend to do regardless during my time this week and two weeks I'm t...

Poor, Poor Endy!

As a reminder, Kaerwyn will not be updating next week. Though I am going to use that time to try to get caught up on BT's. I'm hoping to get at least three done, but I'm not sure what's going to happen with our Thanksgiving schedule (And I'm the one that has to cook on Thursday).

Kaerwyn Issue 12 Page 20

Sorry, again, for the lateness. I just finished.  Just gotta get through this week.

Also I haven't gotten approval for Callie's text again, so still waiting on that.

Kaerwyn Issue 12 Page 19

Sorry for the lateness. I just now finished this. I haven't gotten Callie's lines approved by her character owner yet, but I don't think it'll change much if at all.

November Schedule

Just to let you guys know, I won't be updating the Kaerwyn comic next week.  Next week has Thanksgiving in the US (Thursday) and I'm the one that cooks. So I have a lot of preparing to do.  This also means I will not be taking commissions next week. If you want one, get it this week.

In the free time I get, I intend to work on BT pages. So hopefully I can make enough for what I owe you guys.  If I get any time beyond that (very doubtful), I'll be working on sketch art for the $3...

Endy is denied yet another awesome entrance.

Kaerwyn Issue 12 Page 17

Endy doesn't react to stuff like a normal person would.  Fascination > Fear.

Kaerwyn Issue 12 Page 16

You'd think Endy would be staring at the hot chick, not the energies.  That's our Endy.

Endy broke.

Endy demonstrates how to properly break into someone's residence.

Endy is so done.

Sorry for the lateness, had to take my computer down to get that new CPU fan installed. We think the wires on it went bad cuz the fan seems to be in good physical shape. Hopefully it's not a MoBo problem, but I guess we'll see if it still acts up.

An update on my computer issues...

In the setting of The Dresden Files, the wizards can't use modern electronics because they break on them inexplicably.  I have been told in the past that I am a Dresden wizard, just without the cool magic stuff that goes with it.  Stuff just breaks for me, inexplicably, but when others check on it, it seems fine.

When Ringtail got home from work on Friday, he checked into my work machine's CPU fan issue. And it never errors, in all the tries, it never errored for him. It ran just fin...

Computer Problems.

So, I am beyond bummed out.  I took today off commissions so I could catch up on the stuff I owe you today and this weekend.  But I've been denied, yet again, this time by my equipment.

I started up my work machine today and on the startup, a big ol' warning was showing up that wouldn't let it proceed to booting: CPU FAN FAILURE.

I know enough about computers to know that's really bad. So I immediately shut it off and just left it off.  After talking to more knowledgeable ...

Niixa's got hairier lips than Endy. That must be super awkward.

Starbucks would never get "Endymion" right.

In fact, next time you go to Starbucks, tell them your name is Endymion. Show me the results.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

(Yay, I got it done in time since it's such a simple page).

Kaerwyn page 10 will be late

I actually did up a page 10 already but we decided that we should throw another page in between that one and page 9. So the one I worked on today will become page 11.  So as of right now, Page 10 does not exist. I  try to post them to you on Monday as soon as I finish (Which would have been now), but now I have to start from scratch. I'm not sure when it'll be done, but definitely sometime later tonight or early tomorrow.

Niixa is quite confused.
