Recently I made some changes to how the patreon page for my webcomic aVoid works to make it a little more friendly for everybody, so I feel like it might be worth mentioning in-length again!

For anyone who doesn't already know, patreon is a website people can use to donate consistently in support of their favorite independent creators for sweet loot.

All of the information is on the page itself, but the important change is that things are going to being bi-weekly instead of every week / every update (contrary to the video on the page, as of right now it hasn't been edited to reflect the change). Why bi-weekly? It makes quality a priority over content while still adhering to a schedule.

I really enjoy making comics, and while I do it for free, having financial support in doing it opens up a lot of new doors. The more support I have, the cooler stuff I can do and give back to everyone in the future; even just 1$ helps! So please look it over and consider it, or signal boost if you can! I really appreciate it. c:

HEY HERE'S SOME COOL NEWS!! Recently I started a Patreon page for aVoid!

Patreon is basically a website that allows you to support artists and their projects, kinda like Kickstarter, except instead of donating once and only getting something cool in return once, you kind of donate consistently and get that cool thing (or things) every time you continue to donate, and typically that money is put in to bringing you better quality stuff later down the line.

I explained a lot of how it works over on the website in a NIFTY VIDEO WITH MY FACE, I recommend watching it if only because I am real cute.

The long-and-short of it in concern to me, is that I want to update aVoid at least once a week every week. So, whatever amount you choose you want to donate, you'd be doing that per week I kept to that promise of updating.

The cool thing about Patreon is that it kind of allows me the ability to interact with you guys more than I already do, concerning my projects and their content (it also mmmmmight help me pay my bills... like a lot.). Depending on what tier you choose as a donation, you can get a lot of special privileges in return as a thank you each week I keep to my promise of updating aVoid, and for pretty cheap too.

A brief example of some of the options (with the rest listed at the bottom of the Patreon page) are:

$1 : Comic updates a whole day early

$3 : Day-early updates and surprise bonus art no one else gets to see but you

$5 : Early updates, surprise art, and access to art streams that only people choosing to donate this much will get notified of (through Patreon)

You get the idea. Eventually there will be other rewards added when some of the limited ones (creating a character for in the comic, for example) run out, to kind of help keep things interesting.

The whole idea of doing this is to hopefully be able to give more high quality stuff back, seeing as I can't with how things currently are for me unless I have a little help. The first milestone's already been reached, so I can afford to give aVoid it's own hosting site, which'll give me a lot more control with the comic and what I can do in future updates, and that's rad! With any luck we can hit the rest of them, too.

Let me make it clear that this isn't going to change much of anything for the worse, I won't stop doing open livestreams or anything like that for people who choose to not- or can not- donate. This is just a way for you to offer support in my direction, if you can and want, that earns you something a little specially neat for doing it and goes straight back in to funding future projects meant for you.

Whether you donate or not is totally your decision, but it helps me out a lot and I really appreciate it if you do.

Your new comic looks pretty rad. How long has it been in the making? Any major world building you could talk about? Cuz I love me some world building.

Thanks!! The idea itself has been in the back of my mind for years, because it's based off of a nightmare I had when I was 12; but, the comic itself I've been working on since July.

In AVoid- though it's set in the "real world"- aside from wiping out most of humanity and what it accomplished, the cataclysmic event that's taken place also left behind 'monsters' that exceed the remaining human population. As a result, most survivors have developed mutations both as a cause from the event and also genetic adaption in order to survive. While a majority of the remaining population have some form of mutation, there are more defined conditions that've created communities of individuals with similar mutations.

A specific example is Hanger's eyes:

They're much larger than average, she has sharp far-sight and clear night-vision; however, it also comes with the disadvantage of decreased visibility in the daylight. So, most people with her condition take to isolating themselves in constantly darkened areas like forests or abandoned buildings, and sometimes caves.

Because these are also particularly dangerous areas to stay in since monsters thrive in dark environments, her type try to keep above the ground to avoid danger, earning them the name "hangers".

There's also another class of mutants called "walkers" who are the only known humans to coexist solitary and without threat in heavily monstered areas. They're considered extremely dangerous and volatile, and communities of them are typically avoided.

So why is it spelled AVoid? Or is that some sort of special plot information we can't hear about yet?

It's spelled AVoid because it's meant to be seen as the word "Avoid" and also the statement "A Void"; "Avoid" because Hanger is our 'protagonist' and purposefully isolates herself from society, and "A Void" because of the state the world has been put in after the cataclysm hundreds of years prior.

So, about your new comic. Was that really an OC you made based on Alex or...? ಥ⌣ಥ

Absolutely it is; just as Hanger's appearance and habits are based on myself- which, the are- so is the same for the character based on Alex, who is referred to by Hanger as "Rider", and he looks like this.

Several characters in AVoid are unabashedly based on people I know IRL, I won't lie to you.
