Patron Rewards During August!
Added 2021-09-01 19:01:02 +0000 UTC
In case people were wondering.......no I don't plan on making this a recurring thing! But, I at least want to at times let people know the kind of rewards they might be missing out on if they don't pledge. There's still plenty of content that the public will receive as per usual, but patrons deserve a little something extra!
The number of pledges about doubled in the span of a month alone, which was fantastic as a content creator! I also changed up the rewards a slight bit within the last couple of months to ensure that any supporter would still be able to reap some neat benefits, ranging from shout-outs and early access to requests and art commissions to patron-only content and inside information.
The month of August, Tier 1 Otterpups got plenty of rewards:
- Every patron got a shout-out on two of my videos this month (including newer ones with recent pledges!)
- 3+ days early access to every new South Park reaction that's been released last month!
- Every new Hunters page about a week before it's release. The first page of the month released early included step-by-step images alongside the detailed process behind colored pages!
- Had early access to Red Dead Redemption II Part 10 the first week of the month!
- Got some inside information about my current fiction novel draft Awakening, including names of every chapter despite not being halfway done! Patrons also got some inside information as to how characters can be created, while using many examples and special sneak peeks related to some characters of Awakening (the public post I put up for character creation did not have some of this special inside info!)
- Got early access 3 days in advance to a special video where I talk about Terroriser watching my compilation of his videos on a stream last November, and talking a little more about the process of making said video (and the making of other compilations) while also clearing up some potential misconceptions!
- Got to see my first completed piece of concept art for my comic Hunters as well as special headshot designs of 6 of the major characters!
And Otterpups are just the first tier, but Tier 2 Otterlings get even more!:
- Got early access to each new Hunters page and were shown step-by-step images for each new page post!
- Patrons at this level got access to a newsletter where I talked about the potential [perhaps actual] unknown origins of my creativity and art skills along with prior knowledge that I would be doing a special stream on the following 17th!
- Received early access to my reaction of Episode 2 of The Owl House almost a week before it was published!
- Got the chance to request a specific project; last month being 3 different reactions that all Otterlings subsequently had early access to; said reactions are still not publicly released!
- Got early access to another playthrough of me unleashing Otterpox on the world a week before public release, and still have early access to another playthrough of Red Dead Redemption II with my sister!
- Otterlings also got to see my first piece of concept art for Hunters, but were given even more details as well as some WIPs of the process, and were shown 12 special headshot designs for Hunters characters!
And let's not forget my Tier 3 Sea Otters, the best of the best, sir! With honors!:
- Sea Otters can get a special role in Discord with a access to a private channel to get more personal and chill with me! Sometimes I'll even offer some advice, tips, or tricks when it comes to video editing, writing, and drawing, or show some sneak peeks of certain art pieces!
- Access to an private speed-draw where I talk a little about the process of coloring the characters of one of the Hunters pages with a specific focus on light and shadow, along with sharing bits of information about the characters and the story!
- Patrons here were offered a traditional commission of their choosing later in the month as they are every month, while also showing some other commissions I had completed prior (pieces including Enchanted Forest, Pastel Castle, and Mountaintop Entrance).
- Access to an private video where I talk about how I edit reaction videos, specifically an Owl House episode reaction!
So yes, there were plenty of rewards to go around during the month of August, and hopefully it was worth the while of every single patron. I do put a lot of thought and effort into every single reward and time frame when it comes to Patreon, and I do hope it shows.
By the way.......patrons better be on the lookout for a new reward coming soon! For every patron alike, from Otterpups to Sea Otters! I won't get specific, but let's just say I'm being a little more thorough about managing every one of my projects into a viewable format that'll be an interesting perk for supporters of my content!
