Well for one, I have contracts with my publishers for that content. That's why I don't offer it here on Patreon, on any tier. I DO have a high res and full res tier, though, and at this point one month's subscription gets you access to like. . . over a hundred images there, I think?

Okay I actually just checked, and the images I'm posting ARE the same size I use for posting all of my comic pages. It's actually about 40% of the full resolution we use for printing. Approx. the same size as the Red Lantern pages, and every other comic I've ever posted. I can go a little bigger if you guys want, but I have a whole separate tier on Patreon for Full Res images, and if I'm doing that here, then I'm kind of cheating those folks. Also, my publishers might have something to say about me posting printable pages of this comic online.

True enough, but it seems that most of the comic pages that rukis posts are deliberately made smaller before uploading. For example most of the pages of conviction are 891×1188, which is unusually small, and the same size as the ones posted on FA. Of course this is her patreon and she can run it as she likes...but I just wonder why she seems so reluctant to post high res comic pages. Its not like we're getting this for free, we're paying customers as well. Right now the only difference between a patreon and a nonpatreon in terms of the comic itself is just getting to see it one day earlier. Why cant patreons get hi res comic pages too?

Patreon is _really_ bad for hosting image content.. in the regular post view, the image is weirdly scaled. If you click on it to enlarge, you actually get a smaller version instead. And if you do "view image" on the image in the post, you get a huge version with awful scaling artifacts. I hope Rukis posts a zip file with the images when it's all done..

Why are the dimensions for this picture so small? They seem to be getting smaller and smaller as the pages go on...
