Milestone Goals
I will take down the pop-up add.
$30 per month

Please let me do it! Not only it's annoying it hardy makes me $10 bucks a month.
Patreon will become a priority.
$50 per month

If we reach this one, I will make Patreon one of my priorities and will try to fill my Patreon activity feed with as many sketches, screenshots and sneak peeks as I can. And will try spend more time here in general.
I will buy food for homeless ghetto cats.
$300 per month

If we ever reach this goal, I promise to buy a $10 dollars worth of cat food, give it to homeless cats, and film the whole thing and post it here on patreon...
I'm purposefully making this goal quite high because if we will rich it I will be happy but also annoyed that I have to go film this crap and I don't even have anyone to hold my camera for me, so it will be weird and awkward...
But if we never reach it then I will be sad, and yet happy that at least I don't have to bother filming anything...
I will send you originals of my drawings.
$600 per month

Will be sending originals of some of my drawings to "rebels"($10) (maybe to "Activists"($5) as well. the postage itslef will cost me $3+ so...)
New laptop.
$2,300 per month

(Eventually) I will replace my slow-ass ACER with something pricey. This will allow me to quite literally work faster.
Leave the ghetto behind.
$2,900 per month

I wish this town had a supermarket or a decent hospital... But hey, that's the reason the rent is so low. To be honest I am sort of used to living in this shit-hole by now. But if could help it I would rather move to a bit more friendly place...
Vanarts 2D animation program.
$3,000 per month

"Vanarts" 2D animation program is something that I've been obsessed with for 8+ years now, I think. I will need to keep this goal going for at least three years to gather the necessary sum.

About

Arnold Schwarzenegger once said: "When you're out there partying, horsing around, someone out there at the same time is working hard. Someone is getting smarter and someone is winning."

I like that quote. I believe that's exactly how our world works. I believe that in life not the guy with most talent who wins, but the guy with most perseverance. The one who is relentless to the point of being foolish. Who wouldn't let go no matter what.

You could be very talented or gifted even, but if you just drift through life, squander your gift and don't care about reaching your full potential - the most talentless guy, with enough willpower in him, will  ALWAYS leave you in the dust. 

I was born in USSR. The "Iron Curtain" was still up so there was no comics. Then USSR fell and I discovered Disney cartoons and video games and my life NEVER been the same since. All I ever wanted to do was draw, but my folks sent me to a music school instead... That didn't workout...

My family loved me dearly but they didn't give a fuck about my "hobby". So I never got any proper training at arts. But I kept drawing... I was awfully bad at it though (still am)... Used to think I have no talent whatsoever. But through thick and thin, drawing was the only thing that would keep me going... (And keept me sane) It was my only escape... My fortress. It's like no matter how tough things got around me I always felt that as long as I keep drawing, it all will workout at the end... And everything else became insignificant... sometimes even my friends, girlfriends and family... 

I still hope that one day I will have a chance to attend a proper art-school... That would be an embarrassing sight considering my age... But I don't care even if I will be 60 by the time I have the opportunity - I'm grabbing it!

Hello. Thank you for visiting my  patreon page. Making a pledge is by far the simplest and the most transparent way to show that you do give a damn about my work.
(Although you can always hide your pledge, so that nobody would ever know  that you actually DO give a damn about my work...)

If you are new to patreon - http://justfuckinggoogleit.com

Who am I? 
Philanthropist, playboy, millionaire...
No, wait, that's Tony Stark. 
I am just AKABUR... A guy who doesn't believe in taking days off.

Why pledge?
Because that's the right thing to do. The industry is in the crapper. The success of my games illustrates that very well.  There is me, then there is Gabe and then there are those "breeding season" guys... and... em... And that's pretty much it. There is no competition whatsoever...
So I say vote with your hard earned cash and let the world know that you care and that you need more games for grown-ups.

Why NOT pledge?
To get "free stuff" of any kind. This is not kickstarter. Patreon is a tip-jar, please treat it as such.
Let me repeat this: PLEDGING WILL NOT GIVE YOU ACCESS TO ANY "FREE STUFF"! Pretty much all of my posts are public these days. I only make "Patron Only" posts when the said post contains "naughty bits", but even then it's usually just some screenshots and nothing more. All my games are a freeware these days and all my art goes into those games, so please, I'm begging you: ONLY SUPPORT ME FOR THE SAKE OF SUPPORTING ME and not in hopes of getting access to some mystical "patreon members content area", because there is just no such thing.

My projects. Well here is a short list:

1. Princess Trainer GOLD EDITION.

It has action, it has feels and it contains a little part of my soul. I am officially back to working on this one. As you read this I am adding a gazillion of new things of various caliber into the game!


2. Magic Shop. (On hold).
My first Ren'Py game. Basically a collection of short interactive stories. Currently on hold.

3. Witch Trainer.

 Successfully completed.


4. Jak XXX. (On hold).

A web comic. BlackTea writes it and then commissions me to illustrate it.  Because of my crazy workload barely have time to work on in at all, so it's being updated very seldom...You can find the blog itslef here:  http://jakxxx.blogspot.com/

5. Broken Heart Bordello. (IS BACK!!!)

It is hard to explain what is "BHB"... Or rather what it used to be... It's been hard to explain it back when we just started and it's just equally hard to explain what it is, now. It was a very peculiar project... The blog is here:  http://brokenheartbordello.blogspot.com/
EDIT: "BHB" has been brought back! HERE: https://www.patreon.com/Smersh


Back to the pledges.... You can cancel yours anytime. And you can cancel it even before the actual charge accrues a month later. The whole system is very transparent and no one is forcing anyone's hand here.

Supporters are curious about our cause but, for various reasons can't go "all-in" just yet. Members of this group are just as important and just as valuable as any other member of the insurgence, but the information is usually shared with them on a "need-to-know" basis.
  • Partial access to the activity feed.

Activists are also public watchdogs and whistle blowers. A group of people who have great interest in our cause, but for various reasons can only operate through legal channels. They are usually well informed about the current situation. On rare occasions, some information could be withheld from them for strategic reasons though.
  • Pretty much full access to the activity feed.
  • Tinny drawing could be sent to you by post once a month. (Stopped doing that for now).

Pledge $10.00 or more per month

These guys form the backbone of our movement. Rebels operate behind enemy lines to disrupt communications, ambush convoys, and compel enemy forces to disperse. They risk their life more then any other member of the resistance (apart form the agents), therefore it is hard to predict how long they will be able stay with us. Rebels take direct participation in everything that is going on and it is hard to imagine a reason for which any information could be withheld from this group of daring individuals.
  • Full access to the activity feed.
  • V.I.P. membership to my site's galleries. (Contact me via Patreon PM.)
  • A drawing could be sent to you by post once a month. (Stopped doing that for now).

This is the elite. Despised by the enemy almost to the same degree as they are respected and loved by the movement members. Agents infiltrate the enemy's ranks and cause disturbance from within. In times of crisis, agents are depended on to provide shelter for the movement leader. Needles to say that their life span is often much shorter then any other member's of the movement, but their contribution to the cause is simply beyond measure. As long as they remain operational, Agents will always have full access to ALL the intel, and shall they reach a point when they are not able perform their duties anymore, they shall be forever remembered for their sacrifice.
  • Full access to the activity feed.
  • V.I.P. membership to my site's galleries. (Contact me) .
  • A drawing could be sent to you by post once a month. (Stopped doing that for now).
  • Your name in the game's credits.
  • I could draw a personalized forum avatar for you. (Stopped doing that for now).
  • Hypothetically there could be "Agents Only" posts. (Hypothetically!) 
  • I will worship you the ground you work on! (This one is true.)
  • Whatever other reward I will come up with, "Agents" will always be the priority.

Investors allocate capital with the expectation of a financial return. By supporting the movement however investors gain no such return. Instead these individuals are motivated by their own shady agendas. For the most part investors represent a relatively successful members of society with a steady income, a family and a social standing that they cherish. Understandably, most investors prefer to keep any affiliation with the movement private.
  • Full access to everything. 
  • A brotherly hug and a handshake.
