Crowd Sourcing Support

After much debate and deliberation, Chris and I (Jay) have figured out what our goals are, what reward we can offer for varying levels of patronage, and so on. We're already pushing forward with some of our goals ahead of the patron support because they will help us keep Chris from going insane trying to do EVERYTHING in this comic.

So, until we can afford to hire help, I'm now flatting pages to free up Chris. Supposedly a "professional" flatter can do a page in 2-3 hours... I can do one in 6-8... still, that frees Chris up to concentrate on drawing and coloring, which is all to the good. We've also gone ahead and hired a letterer to free Chris up from lettering. Issue 2, Page 17 will be our first page utilizing the talents of Tom Orzechowski. We are delighted to have him onboard.

What will happen with Patreon Support? For our patrons it means such things as side story lines, character art, previews of upcoming pages (page 17 is already up for patrons), wallpapers, hangouts with the creators, and so on. For US it means, with luck, that our expenses for creating and maintaining an online comic will be mitigated, the means to obtain professional help with parts of the comic's creation (like flatting and lettering) will be provided, and if the muse smiles upon us we might actually earn a few bucks off our art (the dream of most creators).

So, if you have a buck or more to spare, please click on our support graphic or here.

You haven't actually read Lineage, you can find it here.

Thanks!
