Are Netherrealms characters the big spoon or little spoon? Find out Friday!✨
An update on the Patreon campaign + streaming on Twitch again!
Hooray! This month, I'll be able to send postcards (and whole sets) to 8 people already!
Need a recap on what the deal was again? I have a recap for you at the end of this email :) But first, I want to let you know about something else exciting!
I'll be streaming again - and I want to answer your questions about Netherrealms!
During the previous stream, I realized that Netherrealms is still a pretty vague story for a lot of you. So I figured I'd introduce the story by filling in some D&D character sheets about the Netherrealms people while answering your questions. Think of questions like:
Are they the big spoon, or little spoon?
Do they love cooking?
Do they lend their clothes to others?
Are they good at giving them back??
I still need to figure out the details, but I'm hoping this will be a fun experiment. x)
I'll be streaming again on November 25th at 2-5PM GMT+1!

To recap the postcard offer:
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! ;) )
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. ;)
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!
