State of the Patreon | Feb 2024 (Patreon)

Hey.

Justin here to discuss some plans I have going forward for the Patreon.
First, I'd like to thank everyone who has chosen to support us all these years. Whether you're new to supporting us, have been here a very long time or have supported us in the past. We're grateful that you saw something in what we were doing and wanted to financially support it in some way. We can't thank you enough.

As for the Patreon itself, I want to establish a set of rewards involved with being involved:
Starting from the top to the bottom.

Inside Scoop
This tier will be the main drop off point of Salvadora stuff. Along with the commentary on each page, there will also be at least one piece of sketch art posted here every Friday at 12:00 est. I'm generally drawing Salvadora related stuff regularly, so this is really going to be the point where you'll see most of it. Admittedly, most of the pieces will remain as part of the Inside Scoop tier as they won't be fully completed (I draw a lot of junk), but there will be some that make it through the pipeline, which leads me to the tier below.

Early Access + Art
This tier has primarily been for premiering the pages (when available) early. Sometimes fully completed and other times throughout the process. Including pages that get entirely reworked and don't get shown publicly, such as one fairly recently. However, there hasn't been as much art hitting this tier lately. I'm going to change that by having art from the Inside Scoop collection become fully finalized and posted here. This will be a way to bring more value to this tier outside of just pages.  The plan is to have two pieces per month and to have them on a timer of two months before being posted publicly.

Bonus Material + Ask the Cast!
I'll be honest, with the length of the stories as of late, it's been less often we've done any Ask the Cast strips. It's not that we won't do them at all, but with the stories we're working on right now, it's coming fairly infrequent. With that in mind, this tier is going to be renamed to Tip Jar. This will be the tier for people who simply want to support what we're doing. However, if any announcements, events or changes happen involving the comic, you'll be the first to know.

That's all I have to say at this point. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to comment and I'll do my best to answer.

JMD!
