My name is Jules Rivera and I'm a comics illustrator, animator and visual development artist. I've worked on comics titles such as Barbie: Starlight Adventure, the upcoming Barbie: Video Game Hero from Papercutz/Mattel, Gutter Magic from IDW Publishing, and Oxymoron: The Loveliest Nightmare by ComixTribe.

But when I'm not freelancing my face off, I've got some of my own comics that I'd like to share with you.

Deep-Ender
(written by John Lees)
Upcoming webcomic - slice-of-life/romance
In a project that's a dramatic about-face for both creators, Deep-Ender is a romantic comedy about loss, swimming, errant shorts, swimming, and finding yourself through competition, and of course, swimming. Ollie is a man who struggles to work through trauma related to a near drowning several years earlier. However, his swimming club of choice, Bogton Baths, is in trouble. Only a win at a major swimming competition can save the club and while Ollie doesn't want to disappoint the beautiful team captain, Silvia, he's not sure he can bring home the gold.

Valkyrie Squadron
Webcomic - Sci-Fi
Valkyrie Squadron follows a team of four female fighters in a space war against robot drones. The drones have taken the fight to innocent civilians, making entire colonies disappear. To save these people, it's up to the Valkyries to find out where they are going and how they can be saved.

Misfortune High
Independent Graphic Novel - Urban Fantasy
With print runs having been funded by two successful Kickstarters, Misfortune High is the story of magic, dragonslaying (or poor attempts thereof), and class warfare. Will is a rich kid from a fancy magic school on the rich side of town. When Will is caught cheating in school, he is sent to a magic school in the ghetto as punishment. He makes more enemies than friends, . When will hears of a dragon terrorizing schools in his neighborhood, he sees this as a chance to get out and get his old life back.

Why Patreon?
Being a full time freelance artist, I am often forced to choose between working on pay work or working on my personal projects. This Patreon campaign will allow me to work on my properties in a sustainable, productive way. I believe in these projects, and I believe that working directly with my audience, we can bring these projects to life to a level of quality it deserves.

What's in it for you?
You're not an altruist. It's okay. I'm not either. I work hard for my money and if I part with it, I want to know that I'm getting something great. Anyone familiar with my Kickstarter work knows I'm going to deliver the goods.

You unlock rewards with each successive tier. Give a little or give a lot. Whatever works for you.

For a mere dollar, you get access to my secret stash of concept art and designs I can't release anywhere else. And we're not just talking about the comics here. I've got other projects waiting in the wings with some sweet artwork attached. A mere dollar a month gets you access to this password protected gallery.

Would you like access to my web tutorials and process videos a week earlier than everyone else? With this tier, you not only get access to the secret concept art gallery, but you get access to the secret video library first before everyone else. Dive into learning and growing your own artistic skills ahead of the curve.

This is pretty self explanatory. You get access to any and all webcomic updates I put out a week ahead of everyone else. And of course you get access to the secret video and art galleries. Who says you can't have it all?
