Hello again, generous $50+ patrons!
I've heard back from a couple of you already, but I figured I should ask about it again as we approach August 1st. Plus, it appears I'll be messaging at least one new person with this!
If any of you have a general idea of which character(s), form(s), and outfit(s) you're going to request for the sketchbooks, it could be helpful for me to hear it in advance. I'll be asking for final confirmation after the month is over, and I won't hold it against anyone if t...

I'm betting, however, that nobody saw THIS coming!
In part, I wanted to do something cool for $3+ patrons, as I haven't had a lot that I've wanted to preview this month (will naturally have more next month thanks to sketchbooks, EGS:NP, etc).
For another part, I wanted to see how easily this edit could be made, and it wasn't all that complicated, so huzzah.

You KNEW this was coming. Even if you THINK you didn't know this was coming, deep down? You knew.

And since I feel like including it, my response to someone asking if Tedd was changed even further between panels six and seven of the comic this originated in on account of just how feminine Tedd looks:
"It’s the same reason Rich and Larry could mistake Tedd for being female earlier, actually. Tedd’s physique isn’t te...

I'm just curious what sort of general things and characters people are hoping to see in EGS:NP comics, and I'm giving $3+ contributors the opportunity to warp my fragile little mind first.
Note that I'm not looking for specific story ideas or anything. I'm just curious about general things, like what past EGS:NP storylines you think were the best, which characters people would like to see, stand alone joke comics vs short stories, that sorta thing.
Granted, this will have no impact on August's...

ENORMOUS IMMORTALOSITY! (Click the blue icon below the image to download a 1306 x 742 version)
Fun fact! The final high-res versions of my comic are 600 DPI, but I originally create them at a smaller size in Illustrator. Illustrator is vector based, meaning I can create larger versions of the originals without them becoming all pixelated (except for any rasterized elements, but I make those to match the final resolution anyway).
Another fun fact is that when I make the comics in Illustrator, t...

First off, thank you all so much for your generous pledges, $50+ patrons! I am very appreciative!
Secondly, if any of you have a general idea of which character(s), form(s), and outfit(s) you're going to request, it could be helpful for me to hear it in advance. I'll be asking for final confirmation after the month is over, and I won't hold it against anyone if they change their minds about what they want to request later, but having a *general* idea could still help me get them out faster when...

We just went over $2,000. Thank you all so much!
Not only does this mean we're no longer trapped in the 1980s, but it means the final milestone has been reached! On the 13th! With over half the month to go!
...
Okay, I added a second sketchbook comic Milestone for $2,500. I honestly don't know what to expect at this point, but I figure if the pledges do somehow reach that point, there should definitely be something there to reward it.

I'm pretty sure I've been posting certain things that should've been creations as activities? I'm not sure. It's my first month here. In any case, I just posted an EGS:NP preview as an activity here - http://www.patreon.com/creation?hid=694991
I'm pretty sure I should be posting such things as Creations, so I will be doing that in ze future.

I don't want to spoil too much, BUT! Here's a large version of a cropped portion of the first panel of first EGS:NP storyline that will begin on August 4th assuming the we don't lose a bunch of pledges or something (August 1st will be a stand alone comic).
Fun thing I learned in the process of making this: I learned to make highly efficient templates sometime AFTER EGS:NP went into indefinite hiatus. I opened up the EGS:NP template I'd made back then, and, well... Ever seen Raiders of The Lost ...

Hello! First off, $1958.71?! How did THAT happen?! Many thanks to everyone!
Secondly, $3+ patrons get early looks at things, but as I've said, those don't stay exclusive forever! On that note, I've made four early posts public ($3+ patrons could see these 5-7 days ago).
$3+ patrons, there will be some new temporarily exclusive content for you shortly :D

In order to make sure I can make good with all of the milestone and reward goodness, I am working to have the content related to those things made well in advance. The only real exception is the sketchbook rewards, as those will require communicating with those who pledged that much after the end of the month.
That said, here is an excerpt from one of the reward commentaries I've already written. I swear it will at least sort of make sense in the context of the comic commentary it's in:
"Have ...

The second milestone has been reached! I'm stunned and thrilled and THANK YOU! My expectations have been beaten up and their lunch money taken (given? It's not the best metaphor for this situation). I know the pledges will inevitably slow down, but I'm thinking it's entirely possible there'll be three EGS:NP comics a week in August :D

Sarah's victorious victory over Tensaided in the arena of cardstock in 1920x1080 glory!
Granted, there are black bars at the top and bottom, but the panel wasn't proportioned properly and there's only so much I can do! *Cries*

As an added bonus, here's the text from the newspaper article:
Gods of Curling Vanquished!
‘It was pretty darn weird’ says local resident.
The Gods of Curling, AKA “the big mean jerks who ruined EGS:NP forever”, have been vanquished. This is the result of a bunch of angry bunnies chasing them off with torches and pitchforks.
“Was nothing like I’d ever seen,” says Tensaided, a local man. “I’d heard tales of deadly bunnies with bi...
