A quick reminder of how my comics tier works (Patreon)
Content
Hey guys, having just received a very nasty message from a (now ex) Patron who signed up for one day, I thought it might be good to just re-explain how my "Full comics" tier works and the reasoning behind this.
For the vast majority of you who support me and are always positive, I apologise in advance as I know you fully understand why it's set up this way.
The way the tier works is simple - you pay half the price of my comics (sold on affect3D) and, as long as you are a patron, have access to each month's comic.
To avoid people simply paying once and downloading thousands of hours worth of work, not to mention making it seriously unfair to anyone who (like most of you) has been a loyal supporter and understands the work and effort that goes into 3DX, this tier gives you access to only the CURRENT and last month's comics.
HOWEVER, because I also really do appreciate your support, I want to give you extra, so this tier also gives you behind the scenes extracts and WIP images as well as the monthly mini image sets that remain available FOR EVER on my Patreon.
The links only expire for the monthly comics, as, again, I want to avoid people mass downloading my work for just $5 which effectively would put me out of a job, and therefore there would be no more comics. I work in 3DX full time, this isn't just a side gig for me.
All this is very clearly stated in the tier description when you sign up.
If anyone thinks I'm being "greedy" (as I was just accused of), then by all means, download pirated copies of my work and help destroy 3DX artists livelyhoods, I'm not forcing you to pay anything.
One day, I hope to have enough patrons to be independent of any other platform and offer up a better deal for my supporters. And as this Patreon grows, so too will the advantages.
Again, for the vast majority of you, please accept my apologies at this rant, I am truly grateful for your support.
