Thanks so much to the new folks, as well as those who are continuing to support me! As you know, this is much more than a tip jar, this is a way for me to run my comics business full time, which means writing and illustrating tons of comics, books, and new series! There's a lot to go over so let's take it one at a time.

Monthly Packages

Packages for December have already been sent out to processed pledges in November. If you started pledging in November, and was not charged for anything, you will get your first packages for December on January 2nd after pledges are processed. A reminder these include pieces of artwork, stickers, and other mystery goodies which may include a book, or pins, or postcards, depending on what I have available.

December Patron Choice

These comics were voted on back in November so I could work on them as soon as possible for this month. Scribbles is already done, and it was so much fun drawing those characters again. I still have to do Kid Quicksand, The Only Gay Human In Space, and The Costume Shop, as well as a great crossover piece of art featuring everybody together. January 2nd, I will put up the poll for the next month.

Patreon Revamp and Tier Changes

2019 marks the year I am going to leave my job and pursue my comics full time. This means on January 2nd after pledges are processed, I will be switching from PER CREATION to MONTHLY, as well as charge up front. This switch is vital, as it will allow me to use Patreon's Special Offer tiers to bring in some new supporters. It will also allow me to revamp my tiers to include everything that is new. It's important to note when this changes over, your current pledge level will stay the price it is, so you will need to switch to any of the new tiers. I will provide quick instructions how to do this. I'll preview what the new tiers will look like as I finalize them

Etsy Store

I have been told by friends at ComicLab that Etsy now has options for digital downloads, so I will be opening another store over on that site. It means I may have to track orders outside of my Shopify platform, however it will be another sales channel and audience who may see my work. I have a lot of products to work on adding, so we'll see how that works.

Kid Quicksand

This is my primary project. If TCAF is coming up, I CANNOT go to it without having a book ready for it. Around March or April I will run the Kickstarter and aim to have at the very least another 14 pages of it done. I am now going to produce pages in no particular order. 3-5 pages will be available online to show folks what the comic is like, and these will be SFW pages that give an idea of what the comic is.

Funhouse Of Horror

I plan on releasing a book version of this at Furnal Equinox for March, so in February, I may do a small Kickstarter to see if I can get this printed, and include some bonus comics voted on by the Kickstarter backers. I'll be sure to let you Patrons know when the campaign goes live, so that you can snag some discounted tiers before anybody else sees it! The Anubis one is 6 pages of thumbnails right now. I'm going to thumb out the whole thing before working on it in full, but I have a Black Hole one thats two short pages I can put out in the meantime. Lots of squishies in it.

The Costume Shop

I plan on continuing this chapter, I'm thumbnailing it out until it's done so I know how many pages the comic will be. When it's done, a general comic book release will come. Then I will do some kind of revamp on the series to see how it can move forward.

Thats all for now! Thanks for supporting me, and as usual, let me know if you have any questions by emailing me at tylermannart@gmail.com
