Milestone Goals

Rework Goals

$150 per update

At $150, I will consider the campaign viable. I'll add goals with incentive for every $100 or so. Until I know the campaign is viable and have a better idea of how it works, I don't want to commit to anything. [DONE!]

Consistent Content

$300 per update

Less time between seasons. I’ll try to keep my between-season breaks under 6 months. Most breaks will be under 3 months. Exceptions will be made if things like health become an issue, obviously.

Rework Incentives/Rewards

$350 per update

I'll add a lot more incentives and rewards for patrons at various tiers. I don't really want to commit to anything until I have stuff a little more figured out.

More Livestreaming

$400 per update

I’ll try to livestream most of the Patreon-specific content, and I will livestream at least once per set (for a minimum of 3 hours). [livestream related goals will be postponed, if I haven't moved yet- where I'm at right now just doesn't have the internet for it.]

Even More Livestreaming

$500 per update

I will livestream almost all of the Patreon-specific content. I will also have at least one livestream per paid patreon update (for a minimum of 3 hours).

Double Updates

$600 per update

Each update will have twice as much content. Short comics (10-25 pages) will start being offered in the voting between seasons. “Bestiary” sets will also be offered in voting at this point. (I will also add some more in-between goals at this point.) I will dedicate more time to free/promotional updates.

Requests Livestream

$700 per update

I’ll do a non-work: all-requests livestream for every Patreon update I post. These will be at least three hours each and for those three hours will NOT be work/commission stuff. Seriously, just solid requests. Isn’t that cool?

Better Supporter Incentives

$1,000 per update

At this point, I will not need to balance commissions and Patreon seasons at the same time, so I’ll upgrade all the supporter rewards to be more rewarding.

Special Patron Livestreams

$2,000 per update

I’ll set up a Ventrilo server or some other private chat to give out to Patreon supporters. Requests made in that chat will have priority over the main stream’s chat requests AND I’ll talk on the voice channel for y’all.

OCTUPLE FUCKING UPDATES

$3,000 per update

Eight times the content per update. There may be fewer updates per month, since each one has so much content. Voting will start leaning towards and encouraging comics at this point.

Cintiq

$4,000 per update

I will finally buy a damn Cintiq.

About

Yo, I'm Maim. Sometimes I go by Maimface, Maimbutt or Maimmonster. I also post non-furry art under "freakyhumanshit" on Tumblr. I'm a highschool drop-out long-time-loser, but hey- at least I draw a lot of dragon wang.

DESCRIPTION: (this'll have one, final update before the next season starts)

[WHAT IS THE CURRENT SEASON/PROJECT?]
Dragon Hearts 2 (Electric Boogaloo): m/m dragons in love~
Well, mostly.There were enough votes for things OTHER than m/m that while m/m definitely won, I will mix it up a little bit.

SET1: “Baby it’s cold outside!” m/m A fluffy snow-dragon and his mate take refuge from a blizzard.
SET2: “Noodle Soup” m/m A mountain dragon pays a visit to his favorite hot spring and meets up with some close friends.
SET3: “I lost the concept art and have to plan a new set” m/m
SET4: “Domestic Dragons” f/f A city-dragon welcomes her girlfriend home from a hard day at the dragon-office!
SET5: “Caravan” f/m A tradeswoman dragoness and her griffon escort.

[WHAT AM I DOING]
I’m making furry and fantasy art and things of that nature. Everything will be presented as “seasons”. A season could be a themed portfolio (such as with Dragon Hearts), a one-shot comic, a chapter from a longer comic, so on. Some sets will be erotic in nature, some might not be. Between these “seasons” I will take breaks to deliver patron rewards, and generally get caught up on life. Before I start a new “season” I will take input from my supporters about what kind of content they want to see.

Originally, I was posting to tumblr, FA, Weasyl and InkBunny. Tumblr will now be the primary location with posts to other sites being delayed (if posted at all). Patreon will include a link and notify supporters, just like before.

[WHAT ARE YOU PAYING FOR]
I’m taking payments “per update”, so every time I post a major update to a “season”, my supporters will be charged accordingly. Sometimes an update will be multiple images (example: comics will be posted at least two pages at a time), and sometimes there will be mini-updates that are totally free (with Dragon Hearts, there were edits and bonus art between each update that were free).

Supporters are paying directly for content as it comes out. I will not be charging anyone if I’m not getting Patreon stuff done.

[WHAT WONDERS DOES THE FUTURE HOLD]
I’d really like to get geared up for some story-centric content. I’ve got a few writers I’m working with to plan this stuff. I’ve already done quite a bit of world-building for some of these projects. I will present story-content as either fic/folio hybrids or as comics of varying length.

-Fic/folio hybrids: With one of these, each Portfolio post (art) will include 1-4k of text, so that by the end of a set there will be a single, coherent story of 9-40k (and there will be an “everything together” post for that.)
-Comics: That’s pretty simple. Some comics will be one-shots, some will be one-shots but within consistent settings, and some will be ongoing stories posted a chapter at a time.
-I would also like to get to where I’m making enough money off my patreon to have frequent livestreams where I’m doing things other than just working.
-I would like to start making mini-seasons or intermission updates for “bestiary” pages. Any species with a bestiary page will be “semi-open”, so people can make or commission characters of that species. These are character-creation and lore-guides for made up species; they will be heavily illustrated AND have large amounts of text.[ADDITIONAL]
-I will post a maximum of 8 paid updates per month. Consider this when you are selecting your pledge amount.
-Individual rewards will not be given until payments have cleared.
-HD packs will not have their release dates announced ahead of time.-Cheating and loopholes will be dealt with as they occur, to the best of my ability.
