SPECIAL OFFER until November 30th! Get a holiday postcard for yourself or your friends!

This year, I was thinking about trying to spread some extra cheer this holiday season, because what a year it's been! And I have a thing that might help you do just that.

All patrons who are pledging $5+ as of November 30th (11 PM GMT+1) will be sent an exclusive Holiday Season postcard with this illustration! A small token of my gratitude towards your support this year. This also goes for current Patrons who are already pledging $5+, or Patrons who increase their pledge!

It won't be in print anywhere else, so make sure to pledge $5+ before the end of the month to receive the postcard with a personal message from me.

But, that's not all!

Since I've been working on these holiday illustrations for a couple years, I have a nice set of illustrations put together, including the illustration from Netherrealms' most popular special offer so far :)

So, in short:

- Pledge $5 or more before the end of the month to receive a postcard with the red illustration with a personal message from me

- Every extra $5 gets you a set of all 3 postcards that I've painted so far, so you can send it to your friends! Want one set of postcards, plus your own with a message from me? Pledge $10! Want three sets of postcards? Pledge $20!

If you can't support with $, you can definitely support by sharing!

The timing of this campaign is a bit unfortunate, in the sense that Twitter is currently in a bit of a crisis, as you might have heard. The scary thing is that Twitter has grown into one of my biggest (and best) platforms, but my reach has been dwindling with Musk rocking the boat so much.

I think word of mouth will be a huge help in this regard! So if you're able and willing, please share the campaign (this post or posts I make on the platform itself) on these platforms:

Twitter (going down with the ship! ;) )

Tumblr

Mastodon

Substack

If this campaign is a success, I might be able to put Netherrealms on a regular schedule!

To be able to dedicate time to Netherrealms without caveats I need to be able to say "no" to other paying work - which is largely commissions right now. With $284 more (which means 29 people pledging for a postcard set), I'll be able to set that time aside and release Netherrealms pages twice a month - guaranteed!

So not only does this campaign get you a short term reward in the form of postcards, it also gets you more Netherrealms art in the long term! If that isn't a good investment, I don't know what is. ;)

Don't forget I'll be streaming on November 15th at 2-5PM GMT+1!

You can watch me work on a new Netherrealms page right here: https://www.twitch.tv/artofrengin

And that's it!

I hope to be able to share this with a lot of you - I'm really excited to be able to send postcards to a couple places all over the world already. :)

As always, any questions or remarks? Let me know!

FAQ about the Special Offer:

- Do I need to stay a Patron to receive the postcards?

No! As long as you're a $5+ Patron in the month of November, you'll receive a postcard from me. You don't need to stay a patron after that (though I hope you do!)

- Can I lower my pledge again for December?

Yes! If you want to keep pledging at a lower amount to support the comic, you can do so by editing your membership. Please be sure to lower your pledge again before Patreon charges you for another cycle if you want to do this!

- When are you going to send me my postcard?

I'm going to order all the postcards right after the campaign ends (so on December 1st or 2nd) and send them off in the same week. I'll do whatever I can to make sure you can send some holiday cards before the season starts!

- What do I need to pledge for X amount of extra postcards exactly?

For every $5 pledge, I send out one postcard addressed to you, with a personal message from me. For every $5 above that, I add in the set of 3 postcards.

So $10+ pledges will get you one personal postcard and one set of 3 to send out.

$25+ pledges will get you one personal postcard and four sets of 3 (so 12 total cards) to send out.

Any more questions? Comment on Patreon or send me an email at [email protected]!
