Hello! This is the first post of this kind where $5-and-above patrons get access to the month's chapter in full. I hope you like it.
You can always view the comic on its proper website, wisteriacomic.com!
(One day I'll get around to fixing the now outdated links embedded on the pages...)
Hello!
I was running around yesterday making lists of lists to make sure everything was ready for today. I think it is, so here we go.
I've been talking about my Patreon going in a new direction for a while now; mostly vaguely at first, then a bit more precisely while referring to comics, followed by a big post a week ago to explain things more concretely. Today is the culmination of all that as I publish the first page of the comic I started working on, entitled WisteriA.
I am currently working my butt off preparing at least twelve different things for tomorrow. Included in those things are publishing the new Patreon tiers, launching the comic's website and posting the first page of chapter 1. Soon!

It's Yaya! She's the last main character who appears in the first chapter.
Yaya is small like Momo but with a more pronounced personality. She speaks her mind fairly readily. She also alters her own clothes, as you'll see by her ribbon and the hem of her skirt. I'm assuming it's all within school regulations.
Her design was a bit last-minute, as I was ready to start storyboarding the first chapter when I realized "wait, I don't even know what Momo's friend looks like." I think it's a des...

Linnaea takes her name from linnaea borealis, alternatively named twinflower. She's the same age as Mari and they get along well. It's Linn for short!
She's a bit of a pillar of support for the more delicate Mari, though I tried to include a sense of delicacy in her own design, too. She's definitely more prone to the wistful look, it seems.
She was actually the next-to-last character I designed out of all of them, but she gets introduced first here since she appears in the first...

The second character is Mari, who is Momo's upperclassman by one year.
Her design took a long time to come about in a way that I was happy with. I think I had a specific idea in mind, but wasn't able to express it in the design for a while. The look above is a sort of blend of all my favorite elements from previous tries, dating back to around the same time I first started working on Momo.
I cou...

It's Momo!
She's the first one I worked on designing two years ago. Her look was largely the same for a while until I revisited and updated it in May of this year.
Three years ago, apparently. It's been too long.
She was always meant to be pink and kind of fluffy, with a personality to match. I tried to keep the same idea for the redesign in May, which I think I'm pretty happy with. It has...

Hello!
I haven't posted in a while—forgive me if anyone's been antsy wondering what's up. I want to finally offer some insight into what will be going on here from now on.
First things first: the tiers published at the time of posting this are not the tiers that will be charged for October. They'll be rewritten before billing begins on November 1, or in the event that I need more time to plan, all payments will be paused until the next payment cycl...

Hello! Actually, I'm sure everyone already gets e-mails notifying them of this, but I sent out the September rewards earlier today. Thanks for another month!
Normally this is where I talk about plans for the coming month, but since I'll be rolling those plans out over the course of October itself, I'll hold off on writing anything extensive here. Not being secretive or anything; I just can't write much right now that wouldn't simply create more questions. So until then!
I do have some dr...

Here they are!
And to leave nothing up to fate, another reminder:
Here's the post where I first mentioned the change. There are still some patrons who haven't tended to their pledged amount, so make sure it's where you want it to be by the time October 1st rolls around. Thanks!
All right, that's all. I hope you'll look forward to the reward packs. 2018-09-28 02:02:28 +0000 UTC View Post
I finished this today. That's all of the month's rewards! I'll make the rewards summary in a bit.
I was trying out yet more coloring ideas in this one. I'm not sure if you can tell, but there's supposed to be more grays in there. I've been working on the concept for a while now, but sometimes I forget about it and I'm sure the drawings suffer for it a bit.
Like the others, this drawing will include the hi-res/PSD ($5 tier) and line art ($1 tier).

Hey, yo, come on
After what feels like forever (two days), it's done!
I did some different stuff for this one, mainly regarding the coloring. I'll be including the hi-res version/PSD ($7 tier) + process page ($1 tier)!

Hello! I've talked about this before, but I made some more changes since then that everyone should be aware of.
First off, the price for the highest tier has gone down from $10 to $7. No one's pledges will change automatically, so you'll have to manually adjust your pledge based on the new prices. The $1 and $5 tiers are the same as always. You have until October 1st!
The second thing is just another quick recap of how this month's r...

It is finished! It looked okay with just the lines I had, so I worked with it. I changed them quite a bit along the way, though.
Hi-res/PSD ($7 tier) + line art/steps ($1 tier).

Here are some sketches I intend to work on and finish over the weekend and following week! There's Nana and a rabbit up there, and also this drawing of Sakura because I've been watching the series lately:
I've been pondering whether going with "proper" line art or just leaving them like this. I'll figure it out when I get started in just a bit.
Also, the Nana + bun one made me think of a Fumika ...

Hello. I was going to post this yesterday but decided to finally draw some kind of logo for my announcement posts first, since I make so many of them. Now they won't be as bare!
I have a lot of sketches piled up at the moment that I'll go through over the next week to pick some out for finishing. That's the first announcement.
The second announcement is in the title: so that it's not ambiguous as it may have been in the last post where I mentioned it, there won't be any more NSFW/R18...

Hello! I made a logo for announcements in order to make them less bare.
It features this character named Momo, who's made her appearance a few times already. I plan to eventually make variations of this graphic based on other characters from her universe.
Incidentally, I have a bunch of sketches of those characters to post, but not before coloring them first. I'll get to it before the end of the month.

It's... Koume!
I forgot to post some WIPs for this over the past week, but here's the finished thing, in any case. I will include both the PSD and line art in the September rewards. Thanks for looking!
2018-09-11 17:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Happy September, all. I hope summer was fun.
Earlier today I finished sending out August's rewards to all the processed patrons. Thanks for the monthly support and I hope you like them!
I fairly enjoyed not having a NSFW tier to worry about last month, so it might happen again this month too. There's your heads-up about that!
Anyway, stuff I'm working now includes that Koume sketch I posted, plus some work on a handful of original characters. Here's one of them:

Rewards! They're here! PSDs all over the place this month. There is no NSFW/R18 tier this month, so I just split what I did have across both tiers.
Line art for the $1 tier includes Koume, Momo and Kirara. Heck, Rika's lines are just a sketch, but I threw them in after writing this because I figured I might as well.
They're going out at the beginning of next month as usual. I hope you'll look forward to them! And I hope Patreon fixed its payment issues from this past month. I'll have to ...

I wanted to make a colorful background too, but here's the bulk of the work for now. I went back to my cel shading roots to see what it's like now that I know a bit more.
I'll include the PSD in the August rewards!

Hello!
With July done I'm just about done resting up, which means I should be drawing some stuff again. It's nice to know I can pause Patreon anytime I don't have content to release for whatever reason.
My break was ultimately well-timed, seeing as Patreon is running into some problems with payments this month... Hopefully the problem is fixed by September so that everyone's pledges on here or elsewhere are processed smoothly and without any headaches. From what I've read, it's causing p...

Summery drawings for summer, naturally.
Also, good news: it looks like I can still draw properly!
