Whoo! If this goal is met, I'll throw out packages of my white-bordered prints (three in a set) going out to ten people picked randomly from all of you.

About me
Welcome! :)
I'm a teacher living in Germany, teaching Latin and English at a private Grammar School near Aachen. I only have a part-time job at my school, and in the other half of my life, I'm also an illustrator, working in watercolours, mostly for private commissions, but also for books and games. You can find my work on my blog: www.goldseven.de.
How you can help me
For over ten years, I've been juggling teaching and creating. Last year, I reduced my school work to a half-time position, so I make half my living with my art these days. Your sponsorship is a godsend that helps me to keep my precious art-time focused on the things that I particularly love to create - and that you love to see!
How Patreon helps you to help me
Patreon is like an ongoing Kickstarter. Instead of supporting one product, you sponsor me, and my work, with a monthly amount that you set yourself. and which starts as low as 1$ per month - and the rewards are ongoing, too! You get to see artwork sooner than anyone else; you can view sketches I never share elsewhere, you get early access to my timelapse and tutorial videos, and there's commissions, prints, watercolour dot cards, personalised sketchbooks, and a ton of other stuff. Scroll down to the rewards to see them, and pick yours!
You can cancel, downgrade, or upgrade your support at any time. If you're still not sure how the financial aspect works, here's the link to Patreon's FAQ.
The Raffle™ (cue dunn dunn DUNNN)
At the end of this month, the following will be raffled off:
Every month, I will draw winners using a software called TicketDrum. The more often your name is in the drum, the higher are your chances of winning.
Raffle tickets start in the lower tiers, and there's more tickets in the higher tiers.

The Raffle™ (cue dunn dunn DUNNN)
At the end of this month, the following will be raffled off:
A pencil portrait commission (A5 size, fandom character - pencil on coloured paper with gouache/white pencil highlights, like this) - One drawing request of a fandom character of your choice (as a prompt). You do not get the original per se, BUT when I put the original up for sale, you have first refusal, or a print of it shipped to you (or a hi-res file to print out if you wish). This will usually be a small sketch, but when the muse descends (and my time allows), it may be a larger/watercolour one.
- One A3+ fascsimile print - winner chooses
- Two A4 prints - winners choose
- Five sticker/postcard/bookmark goodie bags (3-5 items)
Every month, I will draw winners using a software called TicketDrum. The more often your name is in the drum, the higher are your chances of winning.
Raffle tickets start in the lower tiers, and there's more tickets in the higher tiers.
FAQ
- What does "Fandom character" mean? ~ Any character from a story that I've been known to paint from (including but not limited to Tolkien, Harry Potter, a Song of Ice and Fire, historical figures I'm familiar with).
- Why do you need my shipping address on the lower tiers? ~ I need the address of anyone with a raffle ticket, so I can easily send you your raffle winnings. You have my promise that I will never use it for anything else. ;)
