September Update
Added 2016-09-01 12:56:44 +0000 UTCIt's the 1st! I'm seriously lucky to have so many people supporting me here. Thank you so much. This has been a great month.
Just a heads up that the total took a hit this morning due to the fact that many of you are new in addition to the fact that some pledges were declined. Rest easy, this will not affect color pages this month.
I'm wrestling with Patron Rewards this month as I look at the amount of people supporting me. I didn't anticipate having so many $10 Patrons when I first started this place up. At this rate there's no way there will be enough side characters to give you guys reliable appearances. So I'm open to feedback, but I think my next stretch goal will focus on expanding and reorganizing the rewards.

Raffles are against TOS, but there are ways around it. You could have a month suggestion thread, where $10 patreons offer suggestions. You can draw as many as you feel like, or none at all. You could even have themes or anything you want each month. Its very similar, and allowed within TOS

2016-09-02 06:08:56 +0000 UTCI hadn't even thought of that. I took a quick peak at their customer service and Surody is right. Raffles aren't allowed. Sorry :(

2016-09-01 20:08:16 +0000 UTCI like these ideas. Especially the raffle one. If I use it I'll give you credit. Thanks.

2016-09-01 17:27:51 +0000 UTCFor the 10$ level you could do a raffle for like a single image or sketch. I've seen some people offer discounts on commissions too. Maybe even allowing access to streams of you working on the comic.

2016-09-01 16:06:16 +0000 UTCThe issue with that is it's not economical to do 15+ versions (for every Patron) every month ad infinitum.

2016-09-01 15:18:32 +0000 UTCPerhaps for the 10$ Pledge characters could be placed in a scene from the comic like a YCH? For example, the pledger wants a copy of pg 14 where their character is the one about to boink Buck (Or vice versa, of course).

2016-09-01 15:01:18 +0000 UTCI wouldn't want to add another pledge level until I know what it will contain, if that's what you mean. I'm open to ideas, but I'm considering a few things already. Potentially personalized art.

2016-09-01 14:54:27 +0000 UTCYea, was thinking about the side character part too.^^ I will make my thoughts. Also: Are you able to activite that new pledge option now?
