Swindle: It's time for some Spooky Updates for Spooky Month! We wanted to wait until we were in a more stable period with substantial updates since March to May were rather hectic for our personal lives: Thankfully with the end of the summer drought and as we head into the colder months our pledge numbers have had a bit of an upswing as we are going into October with a current pledge of $2,568 , making us just a little under one thousand away our next goal of $3,300. I’m cautiously curious to see how our audience grows and flows as we begin the next chapter of Steven Universe Fervor. I know its been a long wait, but with the time, practice, and improvements we’ve made over the last year since the last entry, I’m positive we can match and even surpass the expectations for the next chapter and fulfill the hype!
Knowingest: it's been a while since we did one of these overviews, thank you to everyone who's stuck with us through the year and through the summer. I hope you're excited for what comes next.
Business Time: We actually made AMAZING Time on our Commissions, getting through FIFTEEN Separate drawings in only one month with only FOUR remaining pictures to go before we finally make progress on SUF3. Now I know I've made promises before, but I am confident that by the middle of October, work will finally begin work on SUF3.
Now some of you who pay extra close attention may notice we have few Monthly dues such as past polls and ATS’s backed up, however. We have been saving those up so that Commissions can be finished as FAST as possible and Knowingest can work on them in between finally making progress on STEVEN UNIVERSE FERVOR 3 as well as our SPECIAL OCTOBER PROJECT So that he can have variety on the mornings and evening he chooses so that he can keep his very creative mind free and clear and avoid any blocks or ruts. We should have no problem catching up at all, as well as continuing our monthly dues as planned as he has come to very much enjoy the polls for the surprise factor that comes with it!
Now, call to action time, especially to our Free Subscribers:
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
The main reason we’ve been able to stay so stable in output is due to both consistent and new support from high and low tier patrons.and the more lower tier patrons we get, the less dependent we will be on the higher tiers to pay rent and keep the lights on. Having less commissions to do, but more financial support mean we’ll have more time to deliver to you the high quality comics you desire and deserve!
So to any free, former or current patrons that might be reading this, i just want to remind you that in order for the two of us to be able to focus on original comic ideas, we need any and all prospective patrons to join any tier they find affordable so that they can stay at CONSISTENTLY, which will mean more original comics for all of you!
A mere 5 Dollars can get you early access to art and WIPs, and 10 Dollars gets you voting power in the polls we have every single month AND gives you the chance to get your own art made in Ask The Stars! it would go SO far in supporting us and making sure we can more consistently focus on the comics we know you love while giving us something on the side to let us breathe. So PLEASE consider pledging whatever you feel most comfortable with, even if simply to help us grow, I implore each and every one of you to stick with us or recommend us to people you think will enjoy us, or even upgrade yourself if you so wish and I promise you won't be disappointed by what we have in store!
$2200 (REACHED As of 4/30/24): Will be able to release Written Stories of our future comics or ideas As well as create a monthly character poll where voters can choose a themed picture for the month.
$3300: Will be able to hire sketch artists to help production of comics along.
$4500+ : Will be able to consistently hire sketch/line artists to help make multiple comics and if we reach this goal, we can consider future goals for expanding into other media such as comic dubs with voice acting!
See pictures above for reference in distance to goals.
