SCRIPT PAGES Milestone Reward!
Added 2015-03-16 02:39:14 +0000 UTCY'all are UNSTOPPABLE! In record time, you've blasted through another Milestone Goal!
Patrons are already getting to see both the Thumbnail Pages and the Penciled Pages along with each update.
Now I'll start including my script pages too, so you'll get to see the whole process -- from the script pages Adam receives, to the first thumbnail sketches he sends me of the pages, to his final pencils, and then of course Vero's final colors when I post the full update!
You'll get all kinds of cool behind-the-scenes info! You'll get to see the original vision I had, AND you'll get to see how things changes as I collaborated on that visions with Adam and Vero. It'll be wicked cool.
But don't worry -- there won't be any spoilers. I'll redact any of those before I post the script pages. Y'all know how I hate spoilers. (In fact, a Patron just reached out to me concerned that I might post spoilers for the Sneak Peek Sundays.
Here's the deal with the Sneak Preview art: I don't show any art from future pages of the comic and I won't ever do that. Currently the Sneak Previews show pencils or inks for future digital Kickstarter wallpaper rewards that have yet to be colored.)
Anyway, I'm very excited to start sharing those script pages with you! In other news, I'm going to make a change to an upcoming Milestone Goal.
Right now the $6500/month Milestone Goal is to remove animated ads from my main site. But I keep getting feedback from Patrons that y'all just don't really care about the ads on my site, one way or the other. Milestone Goals should be things that excite y'all, not make you yawn!
So, I've decided to change that up. You know that Full Monty Annihilator Pin-Up I just posted as a Special Digital Reward? Right now, sexy Annihilator is doing his sexy walk over sexy, pure black. And yes, that's pretty cool. But I thought, wouldn't it be neat if that portrait of him had a background? If we put him in an actual location? Something that would help spark the imagination of where he's walking and why?
So, I've decided to commission Rum-Locker to create a background for The Full Monty Annihilator. He's got a great idea for what the background could be, he has time to do it while he's working on a little something else for me, and I think it'll be just enough to spark your imagination and add to the fun. I think you'll really like it.
And if we hit $6500/month, I'll post that up for you. More sexy Annihilator, that will be the $6500/month Milestone Goal. :)
I've been totally buried under a huge day-job project through the last week and this weekend, but I'm already thinking about what other Milestone Goals I might create. So stay tuned—lots more fun stuff is ahead!
And finally, let me just say how deeply grateful I am to each and every one of you. Today marks exactly two months since I launched the Patreon campaign. And we're now less than $1000 away from me being able to live my dream and work on these kinds of stories for you full time. I'm totally blown away by how awesome you all are. I can't say it enough, we really do have the best readers in the world. Y'all are superheroes.
More soon!
Alex

I keep hearing that Wynona has been abducted by the Kontari and until AW can retrieve her it all a big ball of confusion. :-)

2015-03-16 06:39:16 +0000 UTCThis new milestone has the added advantage of keeping NSFW Annihilator on the site longer, giving more people a chance to see him. (I almost wrote "keeping NSFW Annihilator up longer", but that might be misinterpreted.)

2015-03-16 06:35:54 +0000 UTCThank you so much, Janie! :)
Alex Woolfson
2015-03-16 03:32:00 +0000 UTCWoohoo! Congrats! We're getting really close to the most important milestone of all. I just know we'll reach it and you'll be free to create full time.

2015-03-16 03:17:00 +0000 UTCThank you, Danish! (And as for the next thing from Rum-Locker, we'll just have to see...)

2015-03-16 03:05:25 +0000 UTCThank you, Chris. :)

2015-03-16 03:04:37 +0000 UTCAll good things to you friend Alex. You definitely deserve it. WOOT.

2015-03-16 02:59:09 +0000 UTCCongratz on yet another milestone, and this one sure did come fast. Just think, perhaps that extra job you're working on now might be the (almost) last job that you HAVE to take for a while. Soon, you could be more picky to if you even want to take an extra day job :D While I wouldn't mind getting rid of the ads, it's not something that boters me greately that they're there. I must say that if it means having other milestones instead then I'm all in for keeping them :) If anything involving the ads, then I'd suggest perhaps putting it in as an additional thing along with the story you've put at the 10K, or have it as some $(insert number)-250 marks that you sometimes put in here and there. As for future milestones, I can't wait to see what you come up with, just as I'm now really curious about that other thing 'Rum' is making for you. Could that be something that involves Laampy or Kyle.. that's my guesses :)

2015-03-16 02:48:34 +0000 UTCAs a comic artist and aspiring writer, observing the creative process in action is invaluable experience. I appreciate this as a milestone goal, Alex, thank you!
