A Look at the Print Tier - COMING SOON (Patreon)

  (NEW 3DS XL for size reference)  

Apologies for the quality of the photo and the bad photoshopping, but I had to share.   These are sample prints for the upcoming reward tier. These were made as gifts for some close friends and ardent supporters as a way to test quality and shipping cost. 

Once I work out how to ship, I'll open up the tier. 

So, what can you expect if you decide to pledge?

These prints are 13"x19" (330mm x 483mm) on premium matte paper. I choose matte because glossy reflects light in a way that obscures the image. As an artist, I am not a fan.  However, if there are enough requests for glossy, I will make glossy prints.  At this point I don't know exactly how expensive the tier will be. Depending on the cost of shipping it could be between 10 and 20 dollars.  

There will be all manner of subjects depicted. I will start off with cheesecake in order to remain thematic to this patreon, and it will be cheesecake for the forseeable future. Eventually there will be instances of paintings and other genres of art. Every month, there will be a preview image for the tier and you will have the opportunity to decide if you want to receive a print that month. If you don't, exit the tier, otherwise the print will be sent to you, numbered and signed. 

Now, lets talk about what I won't print. If I had my way, I'd print anything and everything I've made. Unfortunately, that's not happening. I will avoid printing and shipping work I can't legally defend. Which means that I won't be shipping any prints related to properties from Nintendo, Disney, Marvel, DC, etc.  I will still draw things that are related as part of the monthly poll. This stipulation is specific to prints because prints are an actual physical product sold at a profit and these companies are known to aggressively pursue copyright in that regard. They are off the table unless I can make a defensible case of parody for the image or if I can get permission. As an example, I am currently drawing Power Girl as part of the monthly poll. There will NOT be a print of this work. I also won't be shipping any NSFW work either for reasons which should be obvious. 

Printing subjects will consist of my OCs, friend's OCs (if they agree), fan art that is defensible under the law and fan art related to companies that have a history of allowing artists to sell fan art. 

When it comes to my OCs here are some samples of them. These won't be prints because much of this is older work and not up to my current standards of quality, but they'll give you an idea as to the general design of these character.

 This is BB Kildare and she is in dire need of a design revamp. The intention was voluptuous grease monkey bar maid with a color scheme that pays tribute to Kei from Dirty Pair Flash. 

 C. Girl . I toyed with the idea of making a fighting game in college, and this was my Chun Li type character.  

 Little Horn - A mischevoius Demon Girl (also part of that aforementioned fighting game) 

 Crow Witch - So I think Crows are pretty fuckin boss so I came up with this woman whose aesthetic is firmly rooted in crows. I came up with this character in 2013, posted this image in 2014... then Witcher 3 came out in 2015. I hadn't heard of Yennifer to that point. I saw her and was like "welp... fuck this character I made" but now I'm less concerned with who this may remind people of, and I think I may change some stuff to make her more distinct. A streak of white or blonde hair maybe? 

 Lexy-  She was just a commission where someone asked for a Sexy Orc.  

Sam - A character from a story I've been writing about the last person. Oddly enough, this is the only drawing I have done of her, but she's not typically wearing a dress. She wears attire closer to Zero Suit Samus most of the time. 

And that's a sampling of some of the original characters that will appear in prints. Once again, let me stress these are drawings from a few years back and not indicative of the images that will be made. 

In regards to defensible fan art. Older Toph falls under that umbrella because she is obviously exaggerated for the sake of parody. 

When it comes to fan art from companies that have a history of allowing it, Capcom is generally supportive of its fan artists. So the Lilith I made recently is on the table. 

Certain kinds of anime are also on the table for prints. Generally older anime that isn't necessarily in the public conscious, so this Ryoko is definitely becoming a print at some point. 

Anyway, I hope that gives you an idea of what to expect.  I am excited to be able to offer something tangible to you guys. Thank you for reading this long diatribe, and thank you for your continued support.
