More from ShinigamiGirl
Hi Guys! After some gentle prodding, I finally bit the bullet and made a Patreon account.
http://www.patreon.com/shinigamigirl
Everything is detailed in the link, but basically I'm offering WIPs, larger sized files, pieces I don't normally post to FA (but upload frequency here won't change, in fact might increase as I get more opportunity to make the stuff I want to be making!), a monthly sketch and badge raffle, monthly prints mailed to your door, Patreon exclusive commission opportunities and more! There will be some adult content, but I will try to balance it out as best as I can.
Just to be clear, this will in no way affect the art I post here for free, so please don't come complaining to me about Patreon and how much you hate the idea. Patreon is just a way for me to get some extra funding to have more financial freedom to do the things I've wanted to do and couldn't justify the time for before, like make comics, in return for a wide variety of perks. I hope there's something in there for everyone, and if you can't afford pledging that's absolutely OK, I will still post just as much art as I ever have for you to enjoy for absolutely free! Where do the exclusive pieces in one of the tiers come from? I've never posted ALL my work online, there are always some colored pieces and a LOT of sketches that go on my art CDs, so patrons will get to enjoy some of those!
And yes, seriously, comic, it's coming. I'm having trouble carving out time for it in between the ongoing process of making ends meet, and this will definitely help.
Thank you for your consideration, and please let me know what kind of other perks or milestone goals you'd want to see! <3

PRECISELY. This is a bonus for you, from your fans who have the means and will to support you directly. *Pledges*
I'm at the $15/month level, well within my comfort zone - and plenty of bonuses to keep me happy.
GENTLE READER: realize the following, of which you might be unaware:
1. The USA and to some extent, global banking system is rigged in favor of large corporations (V/MC/A/D) to make 2-3% on every transaction they process. You will note that Shin here will actually have her contributions reduced by this amount, when she's paid by Patreon. These card processing companies are vampires, stealing a little blood from all of our hard work.
2. Card processing companies have rules that prevent "immoral" activity on their networks. You can't buy an e-cig online. You can't buy porn from a small producer (unless they process with a big company like CCBill). You can't buy drugs on their network if they know that's what you are buying. You can not trade into or out of the bitcoin ecosystem. You can't do a lot of things they say you can't do.
3. Micro payments from individuals to each other are not possible, in a simple electronic fashion. Mail me a check? yeah, right. I lose 50 cents to the postal service and it takes days, plus there is the effort of depositing that check. In the EU? Sure, YOU GUYS can micro-transfer to each other, however, you need to know their bank account number, name, and address. That requires TRUST. Trust is hard to come by in the modern world of digital transactions. You will not know who is trying to steal from you, since you never saw their face.
4 PayPal will close accounts and ban users for violating their terms of service, which follow the rules laid out in point #2 above. Don't think you are safe from this because you are too small for them to notice. All it takes is a single complaint to trigger an investigation, and the ban hammer comes down. I have lived with this problem since 2010. Lifetime banned here.
Patreon is somewhat magical, since it's a work around for the adult content issue and these vampire payment networks. Patreon allows an ADULT artist to do the work YOU love, and get paid to do it by fans who WANT to contribute to their "income". How? Because you are not buying a porno-print to be shipped across international borders. You are a "patron of the arts", getting nothing in return but recognition for your generosity. Don't expect fine detailed full color work to happen inbetween shifts at McDonalds or WalMart. Corporate slaves do not have the time needed to crank out throbbing cocks for YOU to wank at home, in front of your computer. Certainly not highly detailed accurate representations of your deepest fantasies.
