Added 2017-06-01 00:27:47 +0000 UTCSeeing as I'm actually still very new to Patreon, this is just a little test message to get comfortable with it. If I do this right, it should only be visible to the Patrons. I will probably end up reposting this one on social media in the near future, but I wanted to just get the hang of things here first.
But speaking of Patrons before I go any further, THANK YOU SO MUCH to all you! You're the best! ^_^
Still being fairly new to this though, I admit I'm kinda slowly working out what I want to do with it, and what sorts of things to set as higher goals or rewards. Just to spitball some thoughts I've had here:
- I've seen a couple people bring up art requests as an option. That may be a little hard to balance time-wise, but if I can limit the amount of requests to accept at a time, I would be very much down for this.
- Another common request is that maybe I could stream my drawing (whether that be miscellaneous art or comic pages). I am actually very interested in this too, but I feel like my computer has trouble with streaming. I tried streaming a game once and everything ground to a halt and no one could see me play. I don't know if streaming art is different (easier maybe?), but I may have to save up for better equipment on my end before I can do this. (That said, if there's interest, let me know!)
- In the past (particularly on Facebook and DeviantArt), I've mentioned plans to start a second webcomic this year (and that's still part of the plan!). While no pages exist for that yet, I have whipped up a fair bit of concept art that I haven't posted anywhere yet (and some that's shown up in very limited spaces). Maybe first looks at future content (up to and including first pages when they are made) would be appealing?
- Aaaand I don't know what else; I'm new to this kind of thing. Suggestions are very welcome though!
Whether you have suggestions or not, if any of the above ideas interest you, let me know. And if not, let me know. I am here for you! The more I know what you want, the more I can offer. Even if it's something I'm not immediately able to do, shout it out. If there's a lot of interest, I will absolutely make that something for me to work toward.
Other than that, thank you for reading (both this message, and presumably Rain), and thank you again for being a Patron. And I hope you all have a wonderful day. ^_^

Just throwing my name out there, I can't afford $25 a month, but this is a wonderful idea! At a slightly lower level I'd absolutely do this.

2017-06-02 05:14:34 +0000 UTCI'm not sure if this would work for Rain, but another comic I follow that also has a patreon has a higher reward tier (I think maybe $25/month or something?) that lets patrons put their characters on a big list and then whenever she needs to put an extra in a background, she puts the next character in the rotation. The reason this might not work for Rain is because it doesn't really make sense that we'd suddenly start seeing way more random characters in the background starting in like March in-universe, but it's just a thought.
