New Patron Tier & Art Request

Howdy folks!

Great to be back among the living! As detailed in the latest comic strip, there are a couple of changes to this here Patreon!

NEW TIER: THE GREAT OLD ONE
First of all, the Great Old One tier has been added (because I felt there was a great need for this tier level and not just because I really wanted another fine addition to my collection of Patron types). As a result of this new tier, I have updated the Patron thumbnails on the previously existing tiers as well!

NEW BENEFIT: ART REQUESTS
There's also a new Patron benefit for all Patron levels: Art Requests!

How it works is simple (though I've added some rules and notes below for clarity's sake): I'd like to do some art streams and I think doing art requests from you fine patrons would be a fun way to go about it! So you send me a request, I'll add it to my pile of requests and when I'm gonna go on stream to draw something I'll pick something I feel inspired by from the pile and draw it! I'll be streaming over on my Twitch channel! The next stream will hopefully happen at the end of next month but stay tuned on Patreon and my socials!

I briefly tried a similar concept except I had you fine folk give suggestions for NPCs ( based on a Adjective + Race + Job Description format), later held a poll and then would draw the winner on a Twitch stream. I must confess that I quite quickly fell out of love with this idea. It felt a bit constraining both for you and for me. I'd set myself up to only draw the winner, the format wasn't the most expressive and I still had to come up with ways to make a portrait of a Tortle Bagpiper interesting (Tortle with a Scottish beret IS kinda interesting by itself sure but still). With a more free format to the requests and with me being able to just pick whichever, I think it will be a lot more fun while being both more challenging and easier (if that makes any sense).

I had a lot of fun streaming that one time and I'd love to try it out some more in the future, now with a updated format!

PLEASE READ THE NOTES AND RULES BELOW FOR THE ART REQUEST!

GENERAL NOTES

• To avoid any misunderstanding, this is NOT a commission.  
  Your request may never be picked and if it is it may not look like you'd want it. Basically you have no say if, when and how it's made.
  
  If you own the character I draw, I obviously won't sell/license the design without your approval (e.g. prints and the likes) but I get to post it to my socials, use it in my portfolio or as part of a art book.
  
  Even if you own the character, you do not own the design I create. I'm very cool with you reposting it and whatnot (with credit of course), you do not have any commercial rights to the design.
• I hope to stream once a month though that is not a guarantee.
  Life (and shit) happens, I've got a comic to make and a new full-time job that will require a commute. So sometimes I may not be up for the monthly stream.
  
  I do hope you understand and keep this in mind when pledging + sending the request.

HOW IT WORKS

• Send me the request here on Patreon! *EDIT*
  Add your request to the monthly request posts BUT should you for whatever reason not want to do that, DMs are fine too!
  
• Include a description!
  Describe what you want me to draw! This can be everything from you describing your D&D character to "A Space Marine punching a Myconid". If it's a character you'd like to request, I'm going to insist on that you embrace the Swedish concept of "lagom" when describing it. Lagom is roughly translated to "Just the right amount: not too much, not too little". Don't swamp me with a wall of text, keep it short and clearly structured.   
  
  If it's a specific character you'd like to request, here's some tips to get you started with your description:  
  
  Name, race, gender?
  Class?
  Physique?
  Demeanor (explain how they are as a person, helps out facial expression and poses)?
  Gear, outfit?
  Backstory? If you feel it's relevant, only a paragraph or so though!
  References? Please include them if you have them!
  
  Have fun but don't go nuts, I want have something to quickly read through and get inspired when I stream, not read a novel!
• When you send me a request I will add it to my request pile (or hoard depending on how many there are).
  When I stream I will pick a request that strikes my fancy and I'll draw it on stream. Just a headsup, I may not reply to your message but rest assured that it is added to the pile unless I say so or you obviously didn't read the rules.

RULES

• Only patrons can make requests!
  I really suck at putting a price on benefits so this is open to all tiers of patrons!
• Requests are limited to once a month for now.
  I don't want to be swamped with messages all the time! This may be subject to change in the future but let's say per month for now!
• No NSFW stuff.
  I should be able to post it on instagram so no nudity or excessive gore/violence. Nothing too spicy. PG13.
  
  Think of it like this: if you were to forward your request text to your boss, what would their reaction be? This doesnt apply if your boss is a perverted psycho.
• No hateful or offensive stuff.
  If you message me me with some hateful or bigoted shit (rascist, sexist etc.), I will remove you as a patron. I like money as much as the next guy but not nearly enough to stand for that type of crap.
• Don't be a dick.
  A reminder of the golden rule when communicating with strangers online. In your message, be respectful, don't be entitled, don't be creepy. It obviously goes both ways, don't act like a dick and neither will I.

Reckon that's it for now!

Peace and carrots!
