January 2019 Status Update (Patreon)

Hey there everyone. Axel here. We a few weeks into 2019 now so I figure it's time I updated everyone about what's been going on with me, both on this page and in life in general. 

As you may recall from a post made January 1st, I've been moving house the past few weeks! The amount of preparation and time it required definitely has taken a toll on productivity, so a number of things wound up getting put on the back burner while I was packing and unpacking my things, including commissions and some Patron rewards. Now that I'm settled in and have my work station set up, things should settle back into their normal routine relatively shortly, though just be aware there may be a hiccup here and there still! That all said, work on Patron rewards and commissions has resumed this week and I will give those of you who have been waiting patiently updates when I am able. 

In addition to that, I've been making some updates to Patreon the last few days as well as some Patreon rewards. You may have noticed that the goals have been hovering around the $1500 mark for the past few months. Cutter and I greatly appreciate the support you've been giving us and are thankful you've allowed us to make this more of a primary source of income to the point we can dedicate the time to guarantee one comic page a week! However we'd like be able to do more, at least to the point where we can do two comic page uploads a week. We just need a little over $400 in order to hit that goal! If you're someone whose been coming regularly for Buulma updates that means we'd be able to upload two Buulma pages a week until it's finished!

We've made some adjustments to our tiers in order to make things more palatable if you haven't joined yet, or were thinking of increasing your pledge but aren't sure about that. I've listed the various tiers and rewards below for your convenience:
