Free Month for Launch of Patreon!
5 years ago
Hello everyone! Clover and I have talked about it a lot, and we decided to try our hand at launching a Patreon! We decided that for the first month or so, all posts regardless of tier will be public to give everyone a good feel for what our Patreon will be like!
We have a post on our Patreon pinned with all the details of what will be available and the process of how we will be doing everything. We really want to make our Patreon be a place where people can support us if they desire, and to give something back as a way of saying thanks and to show our appreciation! nwn
Here's a quick overview:
For our first tier, we will be uploading scrapped sketches and doodles. These are sketches we would normally just not post anywhere, but we feel that others might enjoy seeing some of them! ovo
We will also be trying to do bi-weekly polls to decide what sketches will be finished! We have a list of sketch ideas, and have to pick between them to finish. This will give the opportunity for supporters to have some influence on which pieces get finished, along with a behind the scenes view! nwn
We also have a Discord (link available here) and there are some supporter roles in the Discord as well.
Our last tier will be able to ask us questions once per month! These questions can be in universe with any of our characters, or OOC, and we will try our best to respond to all of the questions.
We will be drawing responses, but if we can't get to all of them then we will directly reply to the comment.
We will also have previews of any comic pages we work on. Things like sketches for example. We hope this gives a behind the scenes look, and a sneak peek into what is to come.
The last tier will also have first dibs on half of the commission slots. We will announce slot openings 3 days early on Patreon. It will still be first come first serve, however these patrons will have first dibs at any commission openings.
As Mysa mentioned before, all of these rewards will be available for a month for free to celebrate our launch, and to give an idea as to what will be available to supporters~! nwn
We really wanted to stay away from Paywall models and storefronts, so all finished pieces will be posted publicly at the same time for everyone - both on Patreon and publicly on FA. Patrons instead will get to see content we had no intention of posting otherwise - some insight on our working process! So! Instead of a Paywall model, we're opting for more options to have more of a community-based Patreon, hence the polls, Asks, and suggestions!
Now as for our last reward - We actually have a passion for making games and would really love to delve into developement more. Any future game projects we work on we will be providing beta build downloads to our 2nd tier supporters to give a sneak peek into those kinds of projects as well. We actually already have something small in the works, and once we get it just a bit more polished we'd love to share it with you all~

We talked about it and do feel that reserving all of them for patrons to get first dibs might be a bit unfair for those who can't afford to support us. So, we've decided to give first dibs for half of the slots! In the case of opening an odd number such as 5 slots, we will probably do 3 available for first dibs and 2 for the public.
We are also considering having a waiting list, where people can ask to be put on the waiting list for the next queue, and then by the time their turn comes around we can ask if they are still interested.
If it becomes too big of a problem though, we have also considered the option of potentially changing it in the future to a free raffle based system, so that instead of first come first serve people can be apart of a raffle to get a slot.
Honestly, I would support you two on Patreon, but at the same time, there are so many fantastic creators on Patreon so I just haven't went around to making a Patreon at all since I dunno who to choose to support, lol.
