August 2024 Update
Added 2024-07-31 23:21:39 +0000 UTCHaven't made one of these in a hot minute!
Please read this to the end, you won't regret it!
New commission prices and option:
I've had to readjust most of my pricing slightly given that my demand is outrageously outweighing my supply. Sorry but I have been underselling myself since it turns out I hadn't changed my commission prices since 2019. Yeowch!
BUT
I'm currently setting up a new commission queue in the upcoming months:
[New] Freestyle Sketches by Thwill on DeviantArt
In a goal to offer more art to people while keeping myself from burning out I figured this could be a fun new addition to my lineup once I'm done with...
Patreon rewards:
Some may have noticed that've started poking them in DMs and catching up on requests.
With July calming down, Art fight, EnL/SnS and my health appointment rush ending, I'm catching up slowly but surely.
I'm thinking of incorporating a sketch suggestion pool for Patrons 10$ and up. Patrons of those tiers and above will be able to suggest and vote on the selected sketches once or twice a month.
Really popular ones could end up getting colored or painted.
Suggestions can range from mostly anything aside for personal OCs with exception Patreons $25 and up would be allowed to suggest their OCs.
Depending on how these turn out, I might fizzle out some of the most stressful rewards because...
The deal with sketch tiers and this Patreon's sustainability:
My patreon numbers have more then tripled in the past couple of months.
With people coming in and out, trying to get in just for the sketch rewards only to then get confused in the schematics and leaving. I feel like I need to explain this:
The idea is to have the upper tiers just be there for the people who want and can afford to support me that much. The sketches are a token of gratitude, not an incentive.
I've realized that was WAY too generous with rewards, as I now owe people full comic pages and sequences, basically making it all result in a second commission queue.
Please don't bother taking the sketch tiers if you're just in it for the sketch. Stick to the lower tiers and save us both the headache.
I might make a rotation system for sketches or combine them with other rewards, we'll see. I want this Patreon to be fun and sustainable. If I need to turn off the higher tiers for my peace of mind, then I'll do so.
I don't want to steal your money and have to juggle refunds, thus why there's no pay up front. I will always try and warn you all at minimum a month in advance when I'm making changes but hopefully
My upcoming comic projects:
I have two comics planned for the end of the year:
A mid one 4-8 pages
A long one 15-20 pages
I want to get that stuff cleared by the end August since I'll be going on family vacation.
So I honestly would like the shorter one penned before I go.
BONUS!
So a friend of made an AU comic for Sylveon Now Streaming that I absolutely love. With their permission, I'll be posting it on Patreon $10+ tier exclusive in the upcoming week!
I was fully aware that a lot of people would leave after SnS ended so I chose not to announce it early. Consider this a loyalty reward.
That should be all for now! Take care and see ya next time.
Got a lot of art ahead of me.
