A little late - I was thinking I might write a fancier post here, but that didn't work so well - but thank you all for bringing things along to the first official goal here! And also a big thank you to those who have been with the campaign for a whole month now; your contributions all added up to about $16 for my very first month here on Patreon, which is actually more than I would have expected so quickly. To put it into a bit of perspective, that's enough to pay for my entire phone bill (I have a cheap phone) and enough to buy just about any one 3D product, such as the open-chest turtleneck you may have seen Miriam wearing just a few weeks ago. :D

Officially, this first milestone doesn't come with any special reward level, but since all I'm really aiming for is about $50 to roughly match the amount I'd make from working on a commission, I'll be keeping a rolling total to reach that first Patreon-sponsored piece. At this current level of support, it'll be enough for one artwork every other month, in addition to the stuff I'm already doing of course.

I'm also still working out just what sorts of rewards I can give to all of you for contributing, so suggestions are all welcome right here! I should have some WIP images I can show off a little later, and I have unedited renders I can show as well (so you can all see what my work looks like before I take it through Photoshop for those final touches). PSD files aren't particularly interesting because of the way I work, but maybe I can post one or two just to see if anyone finds them more interesting than I think they are.

The most appealing reward I can think of though is to give you all the opportunity to more directly influence my work, though. Suggestions/requests perhaps, or if nobody has any particular ideas, I can post some polls to decide on which projects to work on next. Again, still experimenting with all sorts of options, so if there's something you like and feel is worthwhile for you as a patron, don't hesitate to speak up about it!
