Sketch+Gallery Spot Open! +updates and other stuff!

First, November reward status!  Those of you who've been with my Patreon for a while know that Sketch Tier months usually set me back a few days.  Sketch Tier sketches are posting TONIGHT, patrons will have over the weekend to choose their sketches, and Pogo's guest letters will go up out Monday!  The Secret Gallery illustration will most likely post over the weekend too.

Second - one of my Sketch patrons had to switch over to my Paypal program due to technical issues, and the Paypal program doesn't include sketches, so now there's a slot open!  It's a $20 Sketch+Secret Gallery slot that gets you a quarterly sketch AND access to the secret gallery.  If you grab the slot TODAY before the pledge clock switches to December, you will get to choose a sketch from November's batch!  If you pledge after, your next sketch will be in February.

EDIT: I forgot to mention this but it's important - December payment processing starts tomorrow (Dec 1), so if you join the $20 tier today, you'll be charged the difference between your two pledges today for November, and you'll be charged $20 tomorrow for December!

And third - I'm very near ready to send the next chapter of Merritt's Story to the beta readers, but it's been taking extra time because it's another double-size chapter.  But I posted some extra stuff that you can see on tumblr! (no account needed)

-Here's an excerpt from the next Merritt's Story chapter! 

-Here's a quick doodle relating to the excerpt, as a response to a comment I got.

-This month's Sketch Tier sketches include 5 character sketches from my upcoming novel series releasing in 2019.  I'll be posting some info about the characters soon too!  But you can get a teaser of the initial roughs here, and I'll also be posting more refined full photos of all the sketches as they're finished, over on Discord throughout the afternoon/evening.  Several patrons peek in over there to be prepared to request as soon as the sketches go up on Patreon. ;)

Yeah, lots of stuff on tumblr this week. XD  (fyi if you're on tumblr, you can follow @bob-artist for all the junk I post including art/writing/animals, @demonoftheunderground for DOTU-specific posts)

This post will go public on Sunday.
