Description

Hi everyone. This month I’m trying really hard to boost my Patreon . For those of you who don’t know, Patreon is a platform that allows the people who enjoy Modest Medusa and my other comics to give me financial support (if they are so inclined) and get rewards. My Patreon is absolutely vital to me since it accounts for about 75-100% of my monthly income (depending on the month). I’m very fortunate to have so many of you as patrons, and your generosity has allowed me to focus on making comics and art as my full time job. However, I really need to boost my Patreon income to cover basic living expenses, and I hope that introducing some new Goals and Rewards will encourage some of who can afford it to become patrons. Even a dollar or two every month really helps!

Last month I began offering a new $10 sketch pledge, where patrons will receive an original marker illustration of a Modest Medusa or Ghost Kiss character of their choice a few times a year. This is physical art mailed to your home! I’m also still offering rewards including new digital Modest Medusa wallpapers and Modest Medusa stickers.

Milestone Goals are unlocked when Patreon funding reaches a certain level. Right now my Patreon is at about $830/month (before taxes, which is what I live on). My upcoming goals are a monthly original art giveaway (unlocked at $1000),  new monthly updates of my Legend of Korra fan comic (unlocked at $1200) and a new ongoing Modest Medusa side-comic, updated monthly for Patreon patrons only (unlocked at $1500).  My short term goal is to reach $1200/month, which would allow me to actually meet my minimum monthly expenses. I really hope I can reach $1500/month later this year. This is important since income from Patreon allows me to spend my time making comics and art for you to read instead of having to take whatever freelance illustration jobs and commissions I can find just to make ends meet.

So if you’re already a patron, thank you so much for your support. You’ve paid for my food and my medicine and literally kept me alive. If you’d like to become a patron I would really appreciate it. As I said before, even $1 to $3 a month really helps! I know a lot of you are in the same boat I am and just can’t afford to become patrons. I also know a lot of you choose to show your support for this comic in other ways, and I totally appreciate your comments, your reblogs, your likes, your book purchases, your kickstarter pledges and your positive word of mouth.

Thank you all so much. You can check out my Patreon page here.

– Jake

it seems that the sisters have their own identities. I like the fact that they do, well done in creating them.

Heh. Now we need an illustration of all the medusas sleeping in the one room. Could be really cute.

Also, you changed the $10 pledge? Does this mean I get to request a sketch?

I'm encouraging patrons to tell me what character they'd like me to draw for them. I want to avoid full on requests because they often become really complicated, but if you do have osmething you'd like let me know and I'll tell you if I think it's viable.

Hmm... I wouldn't mind seeing a sketch of the surviving mermaid character.

I still can't help but wonder how she can get her snakes so short.

A lot of pain

Yes, but to get them any shorter it would require cutting off the heads, which they all seem to still have.

Redholm In reply to Master-Geass [2017-04-04 12:24:50 +0000 UTC]

I guess the heads might just regrow. Depends on what Gorgons he is basing it on and if he mixed a little hydra in there

Master-Geass In reply to Redholm [2017-04-04 15:27:39 +0000 UTC]

Well, there is that. They are called hydra at one point.

Redholm In reply to Master-Geass [2017-04-04 16:37:31 +0000 UTC]

Yea. Or at least the Hydra and Gorgon are pretty close on the mythic Evolutionary tree.

Master-Geass In reply to Redholm [2017-04-04 17:30:27 +0000 UTC]

Well the way the prince talked about them, their race is hydra and the mother was named Gorgon. Looks like Jake made them one in the same.

Redholm In reply to Master-Geass [2017-04-04 19:58:58 +0000 UTC]

Probably. Although no mater how much he tries to call them Hydra they will always be Gorgons to me

Maybe they just naturally grow different hairstyles?

But they all had the same back in the cave.
