March update! [Rewards, Art Blogs]
🕑 Added 2019-03-07 22:04:14 +0000 UTCHello all and welcome to Spring Month! I don't know about you, but I am living for daylight savings day.
Rewards query
Alongside with letting you know that rewards have been sent (so please check your messages and, if you don't have it on, make sure you activate your email notifications for DMs) the purpose of this update is to get your thoughts on the current rewards.
- Are they enough? Too much?
- Are they useful or not?
- What are your favourite rewards and which don't you care for?
- Is there anything you think I could be doing or doing better?
- What else would you like to see more of on my Patreon (ie, more polls, more updates, more exclusive sketches...)
Please let me know in the comments, as your feedback is so important to make sure your pledge is repaid in kind!
Art Blogs
When I started this Patreon, one of the rewards was a monthly art blog with advice for creatives - ranging from thoughts on references to how to give critique. Because of how inneficient the format was and how time consuming they were to create, I decided to replace that reward with other things until I could find a better platform.
Recently I discovered Medium and it turns out it's pretty much exactly what I needed! While I don't know that I'll be restarting the blogs any time soon, I have uploaded all past entries, which you can find here or by title:
- Don't fall in love with yourself (Advice for a starting artist)
- What do shrimps look like? (On using references)
- Cellulose vs. Plastic (Drawing on tablets vs on paper)
- The age of Wacom (Digital tablet review)
- How to Train Your Artist (How to give and receive critique)
Additionally, if/when I write new entries, I will make them available to Patreon supporters for at least a week before opening them up to the public.
How you like dem apples.
Commissions update
Just a quick ninja note to let you all know that my commission queue is shortening nicely and that assuming I don't invoke the wrath of the sun gods and end up in a crater of my own atoms, I should be on schedule to meet everyone's predicted timeframe and reopen commissions by June!
Please note that commissions will only open for Adv/Adv+ Patreon supporters who've been pledged since at least May, with priority given to those who've pledged for longer and those on the Advanced+ tier.
I will announce the reopening 2 weeks before it happens on here and Discord, so make sure you have notifications activated if you're interested!
