Whoa...
After almost a decade of making drawings online, I am finally opening a Patreon, and I've been reworking my Ko-fi page as well!
The following description is an exerpt taken from my Discord server. Please join it if you're considering supporting me. Don't forget to also share this post if you can. That would be really really nice. Thank you.
THE SUPPORT ZONE IS HERE!
Here it is, after a long time in the making: a real way for you to support me financially—and it comes with a bunch of bonuses for you! Whoa...
Your support will help me bring some of my ideas to life, and I have many in the back burner. Having financial support will allow me to alleviate some of my essential expenses and give back to the art community even more, so the more money you give me, the more Maxime and the more ants you will see on the Internet.
I know some of you may feel the same way I do about spending hard-earned money on vain purchases, so rest assured—I’m still a humble, pasta-eating creature who is mindful of its finances. Your support will go towards essentials like groceries, art supplies, rent, game development expenses, and art from other artists, which I consider essential.
WHAT ARE THE SITES?
You can support me using PATREON and KO-FI. Both sites feature the same tiers and the same bonuses. Choosing between the two is only up to you.
Please note:
- Ko-fi has the advantage of allowing for one-time donations, which are always welcome if you are not feeling like spending money too often.
- Apple users may consider using Ko-fi over Patreon because of shenanigans.
OVERVIEW
TIER ONE: THE WORKER ANTS
ON PATREON / ON KO-FI
- Worker Ants get to see my art early when it's ready for posting.
- Members of this tier will have their username featured in everything that I do that has a credits sequence (so, video games, mostly) under a "Patrons" section. (Your membership must be active during the time of publication!)
- Whoag, a Discord role... "Worker Ant Supporters"...
- They will also get a little bonus that I'll explain below.
- More bonuses may come at a later date as I'm just getting started.
THE WORKER ANTS TIER WILL BE AVAILABLE AT A MONTHLY COST OF $3 or 3€.
Thank you for considering subscribing to the Worker Ants plan!!! Many little pledges can make a big difference!!!
TIER TWO: THE SOLDIER ANTS
ON PATREON / ON KO-FI
- Soldier Ants will also be able to see my art early when it's ready for posting, but they also get to give early feedback on my brain rot like WIPs, art ideas, story ideas, gameplay feature ideas, character designs and more things that I would otherwise not be sharing publicly.
- Members of this tier will have their username featured in everything that I do that has a credits sequence under a "Patrons" section as well. (Your membership must be active during the time of publication!)
- Woof, woof! A Discord role!!! "Soldier Ant Supporters"!!!
BUT HERE'S THE REAL MEAT, BIG MEAT BEANS!
- Soldier Ants will get access to an archive containing ALL* of my art, uncompressed and in the PNG format.
*Due to the sensitive nature of some of these drawings, I had to cut them out of the archive, but that shouldn't deter you from getting access to almost FIVE HUNDRED C̶I̶G̶A̶R̶E̶T̶T̶E̶S̶ PNGs OF DUBIOUS QUALITY. (Almost a full decade of "art"!)
- After a full year of support, Soldier Ants will be able to redeem a monochrome portrait of the character of their choice (which may require some waiting!) That reward will be renewable every twelfth payment.
- They will also get a little bonus that I'll explain below.
- More bonuses may come at a later date as well.
⚠️ I AM ONLY ABLE TO ACCEPT TWELVE SOLDIER ANTS AT ANY TIME THROUGH KO-FI AND PATREON IN ORDER TO FULFILL THE ART REQUESTS IN TIME. MORE SOLDIER ANTS CAN BE ACCEPTED IF THEY CHOOSE TO OPT OUT OF THE ART REWARD. THAT WILL BE UP TO THEM, THOUGH. ⚠️
THE SOLDIER ANTS TIER WILL BE AVAILABLE AT A MONTHLY COST OF $10 or 10€.
Thank you for considering subscribing to the Soldier Ants plan, I am marrying you right now and we will adopt many ants together!!!
BONUS THING
By subscribing to a plan on either site or by donating at least once through Ko-fi, you will get access to the "Goofy Cartoon Ants Printed on a Mug Supporters" role, which will grant you the permission to post one (1) message in #the-money-museum (a dedicated channel on my Discord server). It can be a joke, it can be art, it can be a nice message, it can be anything as long as it is only one message and it is safe for everyone. That's it, that's the bonus.
I couldn't have worded it in a better way. I hope this post has made you want to consider joining this endeavour with me.
Feel free to ask questions, and I'll see you on Discord.
Don't forget to check the corresponding art submission I just posted.
Thank you for reading.
Cheers.
