Redraw of an early Gaypardo strip. I upped the resolution, replaced Aracê for myself and made the tiger a more generic one, so it's not really Alex, just a random, charming tiger with a natural talent for stealing hearts~

I needed a solid example of the progression through the stages of art production to use as an example of what you can get in The Jaguar's Lair, and this is one of the potential results you could get every month if you joined the top tier (currently $30).

By comparison, this might not look as impressive as  zodd95's $20 outcome, but what might not be immediately noticeable is that this version has refined lineart, whereas Zodd's is a colored sketch. Also, this art works more as a comic panel, while Zodd's is more of a regular illustration, though the same principles of production applies to both pieces.

When you join The Jaguar's Lair, instead of getting a fixed reward every renewal, you get tokens called Rosettes. You can gather them to work towards more elaborate rewards, or you can redeem them every month for something similar to what you see here (or Zodd's).

Each Rosette gives you a stage in the production of a comic panel with 2 characters (or 1 character and a simple background). You start with a sketch (bottom), and then you can upgrade it to lineart (middle) and then colors (top), or go straight to colors from the sketch, saving a Rosette in the process, but having a rougher looking lineart.

Our prices are extremely competitive when compared to artists at the same skill level. We offer 3 tiers, $10 (1 Rosette a month), $20 (2 Rosettes a month) and $30 (3 Rosettes a month). Our main goal is to create a community of creatively engaged, supportive and friendly people, and therefore we're taking a massive loss in earnings to make that happen.

Not only that, the art we create for you is royalty-free. You can use it in whatever ways you want, for commercial or personal projects, without our consent or the need to credit us in any ways. The catch is that we're also able to use the art we create for you for promotional purposes (in social media, etc.) or in our own for-profit material (for instance, a compilation book) without sharing any of the profits with you or crediting you. Those uses by us are very unlikely, though you should be aware there's always the possibility.

The initial prices of $10, $20 and $30 for each of the tiers are only promotional. We have 2 slots available for each tier (for a total of 6) and after these are filled, the base price will rise to $15, $30 and $45, which is going to be the official price from then on.

These slots with promotional prices will be available for 2 months. If after a month they are not taken, we're going to halve them (1 slot available per tier). If by the end of the 2nd month they're still not taken, we're simply going to make the final price the official offering and remove the limitations.

If you want affordable quality furry art, you got 2 months to make up your mind, but even after the price rise our art will remain quite affordable. When was the last time you saw a 2 character sketch for $15, let alone $10?
