Thanks to Patrons’ votes in my last big poll, I’ve finally made a decision about where this Patreon will be going after May. Your insights were a big help in choosing what I’ll be focusing on next, with so much inspiration pulling my muse in different directions!
My top two contenders were, much to my surprise, the Kushiel Concepts theme and the Exalted TTRPG theme. Color me surprised to see two of my most niche topics be at the top! I’m so pleased these passion projects would be appealing to you guys.
KUSHIEL CONCEPTS is our winner, which means I’ll be exploring the following once June rolls around:
- My own variant book covers of the first 3 books, Kushiel’s Dart, Kushiel’s Chosen, and Kushiel’s Avatar (maybe further into Imriel and Moirin’s trilogies, if the muse strikes me and the interest in this theme stays strong)
- Favorite moments, character concepts, etc, as I re-read the books
- Designs of the sigils of the Court of Night Blooming Flowers & noble houses of Terre d’ Ange
- Plus other ideas as we see how the muse inspires me while I read!
I’ll also be designing a new suite of Kushiel-inspired Patreon-exclusive merch, which I’ll announce later on as I figure out what might be a cool thing to make. Perhaps a series of night-blooming flower stickers inspired by the Court? Fancy stained glass noble house sigils? Let me know if you have ideas of things you’d love to collect!
I’m going to think about this and do some planning while we wait on May to arrive.
But what about my Exalted art?
I’m still going to be making Exalted art, stories, and resources just for my own fun and on my own time, but it won’t be shared here on Patreon, as that’d start to get confusing if I tried to mix it in with Kushiel/Fantasy things once that theme revs up here.
My solution? – A dedicated place for my Exalted things on Ko-fi.
I’ll be posting all Exalted art/writing/resource updates and future Exalted Character of the Week compilations there in the future, so go give it a follow if you like that particular facet of my TTRPG-related art. I’ve shared my free fan resources there, for those who need art templates and resources for playing their Solar characters.
If you like the Exalted things I do, Ko-fi’s set up to where you can leave me a monthly or one-time tip there as well, or just enjoy the project, which is 98% free to enjoy, minus a couple of perks for monthly tippers. This way, I don’t feel like my Exalted fans are left out of the fun and I have a chill place I can share that TTRPG hobby. I also like the idea that my Exalted stuff stays free of too many expectations so it can remain a fun and carefree endeavor!
Well that’s enough of my excited ramble! I hope you all are as hyped for a change in theme here as I am. I’m looking forward to reading some of my favorite books and deep diving into some really cool imagery! Perhaps it will pave the way for other fun book series I’ve enjoyed and would like to do fan art for?
Till next time, I’ll keep sharing interim inspiration and art till Summer arrives!
