I'm just giving you guys a heads up that I've added some new reward tiers. There is now an alternate $10 tier since the other has been sold out for a while, a $30 tier that combines both $10 tiers (among other things), and I've redone the $50 tier, where you can now be on a DOTU playing card!
The playing card is currently digital only, but I hope to also make a physical playable card available exclusively for the patron who's on it. I just can't confirm it until I have the logistics figured o...

Just a mini comic to thank you guys at $2+ for your continued support! In case any of you were wondering who Pogo shipped (other than himself x everyone), here's the answer. :)
Here's a link to an even bigger than Big Size™ version of the page:

I won't be announcing it publicly until around noon tomorrow, but dudes! I've finished my first full color version of a DOTU scene. Woohoo! This is pages 1-7 of chapter 1, part 1.
DOTU has always been intended as a b/w-spot color comic, but considering what a tough sell b/w comics are these days, I really appreciate being able to include some full color here and there. With this being the first scene to convert, it was an especially hard struggle to figure out how I wanted things to look. ...

Pogo's March letters have been sent out to all processed patrons, so you should be getting them soon! Email letters have also been sent for those of you who get them digitally, so if you didn't receive it, let me know.
And a little anecdote: When I first launched my Patreon back in October, I asked my dad if I could use his P.O. Box address as a return address. I didn't want to pay for a box that would get so little use. He said fine, but I guess he forgot.
Earlier this week, he comes over ...

A few people had mentioned to me that they didn't know how to update the shipping address associated with their pledge. I didn't know either, so I contacted Patreon's support, and they told me the following:
-Your patrons can update their shipping addresses by clicking the "edit pledge" link along the left hand side of homepage (screenshot attached.) On the following page will be shipping info. Update, and save the changes!
Hope this helps! Thanks for reaching out.-
Thanks again, dudes! I h...

Thank you to everyone who's here and still pledging! March payments are still being processed, and I'm wrapping up the last of the $10 sketches. I expect to be able to post the sketches within the next 2 days, and the letters will go out as usual after that! I'm still working on some new reward tiers and also a new $400 milestone goal. I'll keep you updated!
In the meantime, here's a random painting I'm working on, which I plan to include when I redo my print shop. It's Ebo, my loser cocka...

I mostly finished this portrait during last month's livestream, but then I kept coming back to tweak it. I think I'm finally at the point where I won't do any more tweaking, so here it is! It's definitely more accurate than his original portrait. I think I'll do another card deck portrait for this month's livestream, because it seems to be the only time I have these days to work on the card deck. We'll see!
On a side note, I'm still working on the color version for the first 9 pages of chap...

We'll be seeing a bit of fighting soon, and I'm kind of a loser, so I put together a little chart for the $2+ patrons outlining the combat skills of our key DOTU characters. (Strangely, I do quite a bit of my concept work in Microsoft Excel.)

Anyway, here's the cover preview. I'd say I'm about 75% done with the cover. Well, 90% done with this portion of the cover, but I cropped out the unfinished portion. It looks a little dark when cropped. We'll see if I need to lighten it when it's done.
