Please read - Patreon Update (content, prices and more)
🕑 Added 2025-05-12 14:45:34 +0000 UTCAfter a long time, it's time for an update! 5 topics ahead.
First of all, thank you so much for your support. I am forever grateful for your patronage.
1. Online miniature painting course
I am currently conceptualizing a miniature painting course to supplement all the other content. Past few months have been pretty eye-opening to me - all miniature painters seem to struggle with the same things, which can be easily solved using a few tweaks.
If you are still struggling with the same problems and you want to level up your painting, I want to hear from you. Use this form to help shape what's coming next:

2. Patreon exclusive content
In the last 12 months we have successfully launched exclusive Patreon tutorials and we've been improving ever since. From a humble commentary, the videos transformed into fully scripted content, that's supposed to reveal the secrets of the whole process.
For those of you who haven't already, I highly recommend checking out the latest iteration - Rocket Executive Perion series.
Although these tutorials take more effort to put together, we are truly happy with the quality. Going forward we want to retain this style.
3. Patreon tiers and price changes
First, the good news - if you are currently a paying member, nothing changes for you.
Here is the thing; the tier prices have stayed the same for years. In the past this Patreon was designed mainly as a creator support, so I didn't want to touch them.
Now, we are producing content that can be found nowhere else, but here - I even hired an editor to make this happen. To keep this project sustainable, I am doing the following:
retiring "Adventurer" tier
Renaming "Warrior" tier to "Just a taste" to reflect that you get access to the videos released in the last 30 days. The new price will be €6.5 or your currency equivalent.
Renaming "Legend" tier to "All videos" to reflect that you get access to all video materials. The new price will be €13 or your currency equivalent.
New middle tier "Just unedited" that will allow access to all Uncut footage. This will be mostly just a legacy tier for people who want the old uncut videos.
Again, I want to reward your loyalty. If you are currently a paying member, nothing changes for you. New members will be able to get the old price, if they decide to commit to yearly membership.
These changes will be active from 16th of June 2025.
You can lock in your old price now.
4. Zumikon 2025 - live event in August
Since 2023 I've been running exclusive painting events for my patrons. This year we have something special.
In August (9th and 10th) we'll have a painting marathon in Prague. I've already reserved a gaming store and currently we have 9 people attending. This means we have 6 spots left to fill the 15 people limit.
The cost is €80 and you can either paint whatever you want at your own pace while chatting with friends or you can use this as a learning opportunity and bring whatever you struggle with, so I can help. It is not a classic workshop, therefore the price is lower.
If you are interested, send me a message (preferably on Discord) and we can talk about the details. First come first served.
5. Community activity
In our Discord community, we have started streaming in the voice channel. These sessions are sporadic, but became more frequent in the past few weeks.
With that being said, I would love make do more of these events for our community.
Here are some ideas:
Monthly challenges
Accountability groups (monthly?)
Voice paint alongs
If you have any other ideas which are really easy to start, let me know - if there is a demand, I am happy to start it!
