Patreon Stream (May 23rd) at 11pm gmt

As of this post, the straw poll has 47% (a relative majority) in favor of the stream starting at 11pm gmt today. As such, it will be starting then. Right now, that's in two hours. Use google if you're not sure what time that is in your own time zone. : ) As always, stream will be at: https://furstre.am/stream/Rei_patreon 2015-05-23 21:02:40 +0000 UTC View Post

Removing 10 old illustrations - Don't panic!

I am removing 10 of the oldest illustrations from patreon. I am doing this because I will be selling those ten in an art bundle outside of patreon. Worry not, as anyone who has supported me on patreon before May 2015 will receive a free copy of the art bundle upon request. Simply send me a message here on patreon requesting the "Symbiote Art Bundle" and you'll have a download link within 24 hours....

Stream time tomorrow (11pm gmt, Sat.)

This is a notice that the stream tomorrow will be at 11pm gmt. Remember that you can put "11pm gmt" into google to get that translated into your timezone! : ) I hope to see lots of people there! ^^

May 1st - General Update & Future Things

===QUALITY VS. QUANTITY=== Over the last month I've tried out a more liberal way of going about creating content for my Patreon supporters, and I think it's been a good exercise and learning experience. I think it is important, however, to learn something from the bad side as well. While the volume of artwork is significantly higher than previous months, the quality is lower. This also makes on...

April 2015 Patreon supported

Thank you so much for the support this month!

Third April Stream (Apr. 25th)

The patreon supporters only art stream this Saturday, April 11th at 5pm UTC. It will last until 9pm UTC. (Put "5pm utc" into google and it'll translate that into your time zone!) If I have to leave for any reason during the stream, I'll extend the end of the stream by that amount of time. This stream's start time is very unlikely to change between now and then. If you'd like to help determine wha...

April Art Tutorial Vid Content?

I'm still trying to fit in a art tutorial video for April (even if it might not end up getting uploaded until early May) and to that end, I'd like to find out what the people who would have access to the content want. So if you'd like to help me determine what kinda of tutorial the first one will be, vote in this poll: http://strawpo...

(Bah! No time to do proper story text for this one. Might go back for it later if that's a high priority for you guys.)

Patreon Stream (Apr 18th) at 2pm UTC

As promised, you guys broke the $150 tier goal, so you'll be getting 3 4-hour streams a month instead of just two! The art tutorial might not hit until the first week of May however, since I need to do a poll and figure out what you guys would *want* in such a tutorial (if you have ideas, send them my way!) I had planned to do tomorrow's stream at the same time as last week's stream, but other re...

Patreon-Only Art Stream this Saturday (Apr. 11th)

(Put "4pm utc" into google and it'll translate that into your time zone!) If I have to leave for any reason during the stream, I'll extend the end of the stream by that amount of time.

Update on Rei's Patreon page changes.

There's been changes everywhere! I've switched from per-submission to per-month. There's also been changes to my milestones and the reward tiers. Let me first address an issue I've been having: When you get paid based on every thing you upload (and mark as "paid" rather than "free") there's a really strong incentive to just upload more stuff, even if its crap. I don't think I've fallen prey to t...

IMPORTANT: Changes in the next week and I need your input!

Starting sometime next week, I will be switching my Patreon from 'per creation' mode to 'per month' mode. Don't panic! For most of my patreon supporters, this will mean very little in terms of their support pledges - I will still be uploading art, and if anything your monthly support will go *down* as your pledge only gets pinged once per month. I will also be changing up the reward tiers as a ne...

February Sketches

I know I usually post these with quite a bit of descriptive text, but my brain's just not cooperating at the moment. Perhaps in the morning. : )

I know I usually post these with quite a bit of descriptive text, but my brain's just not cooperating at the moment. Perhaps in the morning. : ) Also, I can't find my sketches for any of the four pages, and the shading's pretty simplistic, so no in-progress version this time. Sorry! If you'd like to request a PSD of this image, just send me a message with where you'd like me to email it. (Alt Ve...
