that last after, mini fan project, april reward 1+ reward talk (Patreon)

hello, everyone. i hope ya´ll are doing okay and not going insane in quarantine.

last week i decided to practice drawing some more detailed background art, to improve my future comics, and when i was done, i got in the mood to use the finished image, for a small project. honestly, most of the work went into the bg art, so i included 2 special images in the set for ya´ll patrons, that the free version will not include. i shared one of them last night over on the discord, and i completed a color image that noone has seen yet.

hope ya´ll enjoy it. since the fire emblem comic wont be done by the end of the month, i figured that i should do something to cover the usual 2 rewards per month.

no early access for this image set, since it didnt take much effort to complete. early access will apply for the poster pack later during the week.

and yes, i know, after everything ive said before, it´s a naruto fan project. eat my shorts lol.

lastly, i was thinking about the rewards and the fact that ive always felt a bit uneasy about the tier 2 members not getting anything for the extra support they provide. so im considering making some changes to rewards starting next month.

what im thinking is that the rewards will still be uncensored, and separated between early access and normal sharing times, but the high quality versions of these will only be available for tier 2 and 5 patrons. it wouldnt take much effort or extra time to go about doing this.

this means that i would be sharing:

• a free version outside of patreon (censored, 40% quality, sometimes not all content is included, for publicity purposes)
• a tier 1 version (uncensored, 40% quailty)
• a tier 2 version (uncensored, 100% quality)
• a tier 5 version (uncensored, 100% quality, early-access 5-8 days before everyone else.)

unfortunately, tier 10 isnt coming back anytime soon. i had planned to only take a break for a month from reward sketches, but, given the comics i have planned and the better variety of content that comes from commissions, i will keep it suspended until further notice.

it´s a small change, that in my opinion, wouldnt be noticed.

since i work on big canvases and export to png, the 40% version is still at 8x11 inches (A4 paper), which should still look good on a well sized monitor, and if you read on a mobile device, you wont even notice, unless if you zoom in. alas, that´s just how i feel about it and havent out right decided. i think it was necessary to let ya´ll know about it, especially since some folks take image quality and resolution very seriously.

i would appreciate any constructive feedback on the comments, and please for the love of god, this is a serious topic to me, so avoid any memes, or impulsive comments.

that´s all for today. as i mentioned before, by the end of the week, i will be sharing the early access poster pack, and i´ll be working on more comic pages until the end of the month.

thank you for taking the time to read this. gnite!
