... so about that Baton pic...
🕑 Added 2018-12-12 06:53:18 +0000 UTC ...here's what I was alluding to.Since I started this Patreon almost 2 years ago, I wanted it to be a driving force behind doing more LoJR pages a month, and spending less time trying to make ends meet via commissions every week.
To that end, it's been both a success and a failure. Success in as such that you guys represent a huge chunk of support a month, but a failure in as such that I seem to be spending more time working on Patreon stuff rather than actual LoJR stuff. Which was kinda the point?
Kind of as a second point to all that, CMYK is getting closer to being something I feel comfortable launching into- but it's nothing I want to start until LoJR's done: I don't want to get a reputation as a slacker who doesn't finish his comics.
SO ANYWAY here's the reason why we're having this conversation: I'mma do some renovations on this Patreon starting January 1st, 2019:
- December's ATA will be the last one. Rather than do 1 LoJR page and 1 ATA a month, I'll get 2 LoJR pages done a month- that's 100% more chance of Bob or topless lady meats.
- Replacing the Waifu-of-the-Month baton pass pic will be a slightly-more-generic though no-less boob-filled banner announcing the winner. The Waifu of the Month voting will remain unchanged, however. At least for the most part:
- The Waifu of the Month Pin-Up will now be available to the $3 tier, but will only have 3 alts: the nude, clothed and jizz variants.
-The Waifu of the Month Wallpaper will now be available for the $5 tier and up, and will have the full array of whatever alts I can come up with. (Swapping around these two just made sense to me)
- The Waifu voting power of the $10 and $25 tiers will get beefed up a bit: $10 tier-votes count for 2 votes, $25 will count as 3 votes, so someone on the $25-tier has 6 votes to throw around a month, rather than 3.
- Hi-Rez LoJR pages will still be available for the $5 tier and up, and I'll seek to continue including that embiggened panel thing, so I better work on making it more sexy, quickly. Which'll be easy when we get to the next scene (spoilers?) but not so easy when it's just Bob and Drudge talking about some bullshit. Unless you guys LIKE Bob or something...
- $10 tier and $25 tier get to vote on the Waifu in Waiting board: (meaning they get to choose who will be replacing that month's winner).
- The $25 tier will get either a bonus pin-up or a page of character sketches of an LoJR or a CMYK character, in addition to the CMYK world-building stuff. This is a pin-up that won't be posted anywhere else. Not sure if I'll open up a vote for who you guys want to see for that particular month, (but that seems like a thing I'd do.)
- I'mma remove the $50 tier; it's not doing anything atm anyway XD
If you guys have any questions or concerns about what I have planned, please let me know below! If you have suggestions for additional rewards for the $10 and $25 tiers, please make 'em!

Just spitballing here, but what about a $100 per month S-tier that earns a single character "pencil" sketch every month (and can be accumulated to more complex works)? Limited quantity (start with 1, increase as you're comfortable with it).

Nah, it's just sitting there. I think it's had maybe two people subscribe to that level, but they're both people I know from streams you just subbed to it as a joke. XD The S-tier will be changed too, but I don't know to what yet...
McClaw
Is the $50 tier actually doing anything bad other than sitting there? Is it limiting you at all? Because while Patreon may have removed the false-subscription bots, it still serves as a serviceable honey trap and joke. (Honestly, though, if I had the income I'd be tempted to subscribe there just to torment your followers.)

I support this in favor for more comicpages, although I still loved the ata pages. But lojr is still the main thing this revolves around.

Consolidation is a good thing. Your Asks are fun, but you're spending so much time/effort on them, I think LOJR has fallen by the wayside a bit. I'd rather see you push through LOJR and then work Asks or something else back in when you do a new project.

I'm not gonna lie- I enjoyed making the ATA more than I enjoyed making LoJR. This was by no means an easy decision. But it's something I gotta do. I'll look to bringing the ATAs back, but for CMYK instead (makes more sense in that case, I think) but for the right now, I need to finish LoJR. And I really hope the final ATA question is a good one! I'll be working on the final card tomorrow, which means we'll do question collection until... Saturday, I guess?

Im actually kinda sad to hear that the new ATA will be the last one :C It was fun seeing the LOJR cast doing their antics for us XD. But i can understand your dilemma with working the CMYK story along with the other art projects on top of Patreon and commissions. Gotta do what you gotta do. I guess this means we need to find the perfect question to ask the LOJR cast then. :C
