Woo !

Alrighty. Let's see if I can do timezone maths...

The Launch Party will start over on Picarto at 5pm EST, 10pm BST or 2pm PDT.

I will be livestreaming, doodling and doing Q&As. If the watchers will it, I'll even turn my webcam on and sculpt something for y'all.

My Patreon will go live 5 minutes later So we can count down together.

This means it'll be a late night for me, but I'll be slugging back the caffeine (and maybe a stronger drink or two, which I'll put to the Watchers to vote on!) so I can hang out with you folks on the other side of the pond

The Launch Party

As a free gift, the first 3 subscribers to my Patreon will be able to submit something for me to draw live on-stream during the launch party. I may do more than just the first 3, but we'll see how the night goes.

I've never done live streaming from the very first stage of a piece before, so you'll have the pleasure of being my first XD

In between drawing (i.e. when I drink my precious tea!) I'll do "Ask Me Anything" style Q&As.

We'll carry on until I'm falling asleep, or you all do ;)

My Patreon - Rewards, Goals etc

1. Fox Tokens

The biggest benefit of Patreon is allowing an artist like me to be a little bit more secure in their income, so that I can dedicate time to creating things rather than scooting off to work as a temp to meet the bills each month. Doing Conventions means a nice chunk at once, but only occasionally, whilst Patreon means a little but more regularly.

So I thought, why not give the same benefit to my Patrons ?

Instead of saving up, or having to spend a chunk to buy a commission, you can subscribe to my Patreon and - each month when your subscription goes through – you'll earn "Fox Tokens". (Different tiers get a different amount of Tokens each month). You can save these little foxes up and 'cash them in' whenever you like, to buy custom commissioned art from me.

All of my different 'grades' of art will have assigned Fox Token amounts. If I ever need to raise my prices, existing Patrons will be given 'bonus' fox tokens, so you never have to worry about tokens devaluing while you save up for something big.

2. Weekly Rapidsketch Raffle

Rapidsketch is a drawing exercise I made up for myself, years ago, and still do to keep my quick-sketch skills on form. I pick a Thing, and I have to draw it within 10 minutes.

My Patrons of all tiers over $2 will be entered into a raffle at least once a week to decide what my rapidsketch will be. It can be anything - any number of characters, wierd anime, obscure fetishes - and it'll be a 10 minute sketch of your idea. (If I'm having a week where I want to do multiple rapidsketches, there'll be multiple raffles!)

3. Other Little Rewards

There are also a few unique rewards at different tiers, such as being invited to create a character to become part of the regular staff at the TF Clinic when it reopens. Once the Goals amounts are reached for them, there'll also be access to bonus comic pages, little art treats for my Patrons and How-I-Do-Dis tutorials from my own work.

Goals

I'm still tweaking my goals, but here are a few things on the list :
- A Patrons-Only Livestream once a month.
- TF Clinic returns ! (This one's going to happen anyway, but with your help it can happen sooner)
- TF Clinic Comics & Sequences (Page 1 to debut during the Launch Party)
- Releasing Tutorials and some of my super-secrit behind the scenes workings, including the 'anatomy dissasembly' pages I create for my sculptures.

Hope to see you there :)

I'll be announcing more bits and things, as well as confirmed Goals and a Preview of the Tiers, regularly over the next week up to the date.

Until then, all the best, and good health to you all,

Urbanvixen
