I looked at your Patreon, and looks awesome. Like I think this pretty much proves the point I was making. They have free options to follow, and the Creator can post free updates, but if people WANT to contribute more, they can. I know loads of authors who do this.

Totally, but first we might need to talk about doing a book cover for my Oaths & Omens TTRPG book that will end up as a companion piece to my Summoner series. More to come on that soon.

Spent the weekend painting chunky boys. I hate the regular hammers and small square shields. They don't feel very "vampire-coded" to me, so I took some liberties with my kitbashing. #Warhammer40k #warframecommunity www.audible.com/pd/B0CNJ7WRDS

Commission for AutumnPumpkin8068 on Reddit Was an absolute blast drawing their #ForHonor OC! Full illustration with details on my Ko-Fi ko-fi.com/i/IB0S1262NOW

A For Honor original character, so she is 11th century/iron age flavored. She wears fully plated armor from head to toe - her helmet has a long horizontal slit for her eyes, with holes around her nose and mouth in a floral cross shape. Floral designs don her armor in gold. She has a gauntlet with the same design. She holds a rapier that she is wiping blood from on her poofy red sleeve. She also wears a red fabric around her waist.

Alaire is truly a great artist and a wonderful partner to work with. I can't recommend her enough. At some point in the future, if/when my summoner series gets popular enough, I want to do a Kickstarter project with her to do an artbook about the world of Terrial from The Summoner.
