Hello! Now that I am a bit more confident with my art and my skills as an animator, I have cut my pizzajob hours down to just a couple days a week and will be shifting my focus towards earning the bulk of my income through art, animation, and portfolio-building commissions. I will be reopening my Patreon as a monthly service to allow people to get a monthly commission or just chip in some change to help keep me afloat as I push towards a career in the animation industry in LA, Vancouver, or wherever Harmony will lead me. To that effect, I would like to discuss the options that people have to offer their support for my endeavors should they choose.

Patreon is the primary support structure I'm looking to make use of. If you like what I do enough to toss me some coin each month, you'll get access to stream sketches, scribbles, and probably a decent amount of macro porn I end up sketching on stream or thereabouts. I'm hoping to do a good 15-20 sketches per month in a monthly Art Pack much like Coug'r is generating. For substantial contributions ($50+) I will make art pieces specifically for you on a monthly basis.

One caveat here is I still have 11 or so outstanding Patreon pics/animations to work on, so I will be doing those first before I actually >turn on< the Patreon. You may sign up now, but will NOT be billed until I meet my existing obligations!

I have also activated Subscriptions to my Picarto account. I will be streaming my work for whatever I am working on that day, and I would love some company and some cheering on. Subscribing on Picarto is $5 a month, and I will be trying out adding custom emotes for subscribers as I learn the system and how it operates. I love streaming with friends, and may even create special .gif files for long-term subscribers to be displayed while I stream.

I have a large well of commission ideas and thoughts that have been pooled from Anthrocon this year and stored in my Trello account. I intend to try and pick a few of them and contact the individuals and discuss commission options as they come along, but I also will be taking live stream commissions when I feel like it using my commission guide on this site. I will happily discuss terms and conditions and provide WIPs if requested and would be happy to make adjustments as necessary, but too many adjustments may require additional time and payment if they become extraneous. I am learning by example and experience here, so I really appreciate your patience as I proceed.

I know that I currently cannot make the $150 or so a day that my pizzajob currently provides, but am shooting for the bigger picture now for the first time in my life. This is going to be a struggle, and I will likely make new mistakes and learn from them. I am counting on your support and patience as I adjust and improve this model until I am truly comfortable as a "business" instead of just an "Artist". Thank you, and let's make this fun for everyone!
