THANK YOU!!!!
One thing I want to stress is my goal is always to get you the best value for your money. I said if you support me I will bring you MORE art and animation. You’ve been supporting me so I’m keeping my end of the bargain. I’ve wanted to build up a library of movies and open up options for people to view the movies.

Okay first off, we now have a Movie of the Month addition to the $5 Tier. What that means is the $5 Tier which was previously "Movie Previews" will now have a single movie. That single movie will always be the latest released movie. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while but I felt we didn’t have a big enough catalog of movies to pull it off. I wanted to make sure there is always value in the VIP Animation Tier which has access to all the movies.
Voice acting!!!!
Part of the reason I wanted to do these adjustments is I saw the interest you had in voice acting. Personally, I loved it to. One of my goals this year is to bring you MORE value so you can recommend my Patreon to your friends and we can get more people into our community. With those supporters I can start looking at really upping the voice acting each month. You know I’m working to do a movie a month at my current pace. For us to do full voice acting or major voice acting it would likely require more subscribers to make it doable. Mostly this would be the cost of the VO actress and me getting help to put those movies together. We're hitting that tipping point where I can’t do it all by myself (at least at the rate I’m going).
VIP Animation Tier THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
HUGE thanks to every single person who’s been donating at the highest tier. I consider you the backbone of this Patreon and I want to make sure you’re still getting the best value for your money. I know not everybody can put down money each month. Sometimes you have to step away and come back - I get it. Now maybe some of you might prefer to do something at the $5 Tier and save some ducats.
Let’s be clear, the VIP Tier has access to everything I have. It’s got all the animations, all the previews, all the comics and a lot more. The Movie of the Month/ $5 tier is really about people looking to just get that one movie. And yes, most people will be able to actually get TWO movies each month as when the movie rotates out they can grab the latest one.
Some other adjustments, in no particular order.
- Movie previews will be moved to all patron access. This means everyone will get access to all the previews. Before this the Comic Tier did not get access to the high-res previews. That’s now changed this month. When the next round of movie previews goes up it will be available to every single person on the Patreon.
- I am also looking at rejiggering how we're storing things. Nothing concrete at the moment but I know Patreon doesn’t have the best file storage system. It’s something I grapple with every month. For things like our movies and art packs and a few other things I do the very best I can. I link everything and set up everything so you can get it as easily as possible. Patreon is basically set up to be mostly a forum and not a file service.
- Regarding the VIP tier, this I'm considering a few additions. This tier remains the main focus for originating polls and suggestions for the animations. That doesn’t mean I’ll never run polls for everybody but it does mean that the VIP tier will still continue to be a driver for ideas and opinions about where to go. I do look at those polls every single month and it does mean a lot to see them.
- Live streaming my work, I’ve considered doing some Picarto or Discord streaming. I may run a poll for everybody on this one because I’m a little up in the air about it.
More to come and I'll keep you posted. Remember please - YOUR support is getting you and everyone more art. Look how far we have come together! This is bonkers folks! NINE hours of movies and nearly 16000 pages of art have been created in the last 10 years!
Thank you and hugs for all! Comments or questions always welcome!
Take care
