So! The project for this month is going to be a short comic. I'm aiming to get the entire comic done this month. It's a 6-page comic featuring Nightshade and Patrick called 'Ignorance Is Bliss'. Hope you'll enjoy :3
2015-05-11 23:43:13 +0000 UTC View PostI'd like to know what you guys think worked and didn't work with the patreon these past 6 months. I have a few thoughts on how I might change it up next time, and I'd like your feedback: 1) Upload frequency - I'll admit, last month was pretty grueling. I had a bout with seasonal depression (it hits me in the spring and fall, it's weird!) and I struggled to get 8 comic pages done, plus 4 Ask Puz n Pals, plus commissions. It was overwhelming, but I'm not sure if it's because of unusual circumstan...
2015-05-11 20:14:13 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, last week was a bit crazy with all the patreon bugs, a large number of declined pledges, and other issues. Now that it's all taken care of, I wanted to write a reflection on the patreon so far. When I started this patreon, I had no idea it would be as successful as it's become. I'm incredibly honoured by your generosity, and I'm so grateful for your support, but even more so, I really appreciate the kind words and friendliness you have shown me. Whether it's in the comments, the messages ...

It took them two hours just to get the smile off his face. (name that movie quote and you get a cookie!) Double uploads this week, since the last one was kind of a joke page!

Apparently those in the US using Paypal for pledges will result in declined payments. In the EU, it functions as a bank of sorts, so it skirts the issues. But if you're in the US and using Paypal, there's a high chance your payment will be declined. I would strongly suggest switching to Credit Card if you're using Paypal: http://hentaiwriter.tumblr.com/post/118074351279/if...
2015-05-07 17:33:53 +0000 UTC View PostI've sent out the rewards for April. I decided to go ahead and try despite the messaging system issues lately. If your payment processed and you didn't get the private message with the link, let me know! Thanks for your patience - I'm as frustrated as you are with these patreon hiccups lately @_@
2015-05-07 00:02:33 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, apparently Patreon is a buggy mess this week. Here's some updates: 1) Messages: I woke up to see I had over 1800 new messages. Turns out, only 2 were new. The rest seems to be patreon thinking my total messages (both incoming and outgoing, including prior months' rewards messages) should be counted as unread. Very odd. 2) Pledge Banners: Apparently people who are pledging to me are now seeing banners saying I've supported THEM for the exact same totals they've given me. I haven't pledged...
2015-05-06 20:44:59 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up this morning to see that patreon says I have over 1870 new messages in my inbox... but only 2 of them were actually new. People are saying that they're getting notices that I'm sending them messages but they're not able to read them. Um... I guess the message system is screwy? Patreon's really out of whack lately :/

Lots of people ask about this. It was fun for a time, but I haven't drawn them together in years, and don't really have any interest in doing more stories of them together like that. Sorry! :X
2015-05-05 18:29:46 +0000 UTC View PostAn update on the April rewards... As of today (the 5th), there are still over 30 people who have pending or declined payments. This is a large number. I'm going to wait until the 6th and hope the pending payments will go through. I'll probably send out rewards, including the comic, on the 6th or 7th. It is pretty distressing to see such a high number of declined pledges. I contacted all of them several days ago and didn't hear back from any until I posted my query yesterday about messages not ...
2015-05-05 16:58:32 +0000 UTC View PostQuick question - are people getting my patreon messages? I've sent messages to the people who got declined and not a single person has responded. I've also contacted a few others about unrelated things and have not heard back. Are my private messages getting through?
2015-05-04 18:27:25 +0000 UTC View PostThank you everyone for pledging! Payments will be processing for the next few days. Most of the time they process by the 5th or 6th. After that I will send out rewards. If your payment gets declined, I'll contact you about it. I'll have a longer message with some reflections, updates and plans for the future soon. at the moment I'm super tired from working on the comic covers all day. I'll have lots to share soon!
2015-05-02 04:34:17 +0000 UTC View Post$30 pledgers! Now that Moving Day is finished, I will be making a special thanks page to you in the comic! I need to know if the patreon name you have is the one you want to have listed on the special thanks page. I ask because some of you put your full names on there, and I figured I should ask first. Please let me know. The comic will be sent out on the 5th or 6th, so please respond soon!
2015-05-02 04:24:13 +0000 UTC View PostThank you so much for the support this month!

And that's it! Moving Day has come to a close! Pages are censored on the public feed to cut down on pledge-and-runners. You will still receive the uncensored pages at the end of the month once payments process, but this lets you see what's going on with the story :3 Uncensored and highres pages will be sent out after the next pay period, depending on your pledge tier! Thanks for your patience and understanding!

For those wondering how Gabby shaves those hard to reach places, Olivia is there to lend a hand (Nude, of course :P) Uncensored, WIP and highres files will be sent out to patrons after the payment period! Check your pledge levels to see what you'll receive as your reward :3

It was nagging at me that I really liked the Patreon banner, so I decided to rework it and extend it for the book cover. I loved how their faces came out, and I felt it was always the 'title' page for this comic in its own way. I made some adjustments and redrew 80% of it, and redid the shading from scratch. I'm still working on the cover title, but I wanted to show the process I went through deciding on which version to go with!

After a few other attempts, I ended up going back to the Patreon banner art and reworking that into a 'fuller' pic. Their expressions are different here, and I considered having Di holding a tape dispenser before thinking Puz would be the one that would be silly enough to wrap themselves up (imagine how hard that would be to remove with all that fur... )
