Dorked

Howdy! I'm Dorked, a jack of all trades when it comes to creative works. My primary project is a multimedia Undertale project called <a href="https://invertedfate.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Inverted Fate</a>, which I've been working on for over close to eight years. I produce the majority of art, music, and writing for this comic in order to expand my horizons as a creator. Additionally, I've a long running series of Kingdom Hearts stories called <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/series/18376" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Antipode</a> that I've been writing for over a decade, as well as an ongoing Persona fic, <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/48777436/chapters/123046261" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Crow Cries at Midnight</a>. I also produce analytic video content on occasion. You can find my musical works over here on <a href="https://soundcloud.com/megaflamehedge/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Soundcloud</a>, and video essays, speedpaints, and other creative content at my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Megaflamehedge/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Youtube</a> channel.&nbsp; On the whole, I just love to express myself through creative mediums, and I'm always looking to expand my skillset to provide more media for my audience to enjoy. Why Patreon? I recently left my retail job after saving enough money to pursue my creative passions, but this means that patreon is my primary source of income. Thus, by pledging, you'll help my creative hobbies become all the more sustainable, thus allowing me to continue to provide you and countless others stories, music, and art they can enjoy for years to come. I hope to continue focusing on my creative output rather than return to soul-crushing retail. I hope to brush up on my animation, refine my video editing, and build an even broader repertoire of works to share. How Often Will You Update? Updates are dependent on whether or not we are on hiatus or not. With the final Inverted Fate chapters being more ambitious animated projects, there is no set release date, but we typically produce a buffer of material to release on a schedule.But Inverted Fate isn't all I do. I also release a lot of video essay and analysis material. On occasion, I will allow patrons to weigh in on what they'd like to see first as well. With my written works, my goal is either monthly or bi-monthly updates. This depends a lot on my personal schedule, and if delays happen, I'll be sure to post to my patron feed so that you all know what's up. Lastly, I'm planning some upcoming video projects. I don't have a set schedule for these, but the current plan is to start a series of videos analyzing characters I enjoy from Undertale and Kingdom Hearts, possibly branching out into other series as time goes on. Additionally, I'd love to produce more animatics and pixel cutscenes, such as the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Ky4EtoNbM" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Inverted Fate intro</a>.

Free

Pledging at least a dollar will grant you access to a special patron only feed where I'll post periodic progress updates to give you the heads up on what I'm working on, be it Inverted Fate, Antipode, upcoming videos, or just general creative tomfoolery (without major spoilers). 
 
You will get to see completed fic chapter drafts ahead of time. You will also be added to the credits page on the official Inverted Fate website and any videos I produce. 
 
Lastly, you'll get to weigh in on various content through patron polls (e.g. video topics, side content to cover, etc).

Cool Dudes

Patrons who pledge $5 get all previous benefits as well as access to rough concept art from Inverted Fate and other projects. You will also get to see sneak peeks at tilesets and sprites as I produce them. Additionally, you'll gain access to WIP drafts of my written works  and video scripts so you can see things as they progress.  This tier also includes WIPs of remasters of already released songs.

Super Cool Dudes

In addition to the previous rewards, you'll gain access to some top secret design sketches and WIP song teasers for upcoming music tracks as well as old scraps and scratch tracks. You will also get to see completed comic updates several days before they go public and gain access to a secret patron-only channel to discuss these early access updates. Patrons in this tier get access to a simple, rough sketch of no more than two characters. Complex designs will be simplified for ease of drawing. No NSFW, no extreme gore, no art that is hateful toward marginalized groups (e.g. LGBTQ+ community, bipoc, etc), and I reserve the right to ask for a different request prompt if the initial request is uncomfortable.

Radical Peeps

All previous bonuses apply, but your art request can be a clean sketch of up to no more than two characters, such as the example <a href="https://i.ibb.co/9kPCVX0y/akechfloweymark.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>. Alternatively, you can request a single character lineart from the shoulders up (e.g. mugshots) or a single character sprite, so long as the design isn't especially complicated. This can be an overworld sprite or a single battle sprite pose.All previous restrictions reply. SFW only, no excessive gore or violence, no hateful artwork, and I reserve the right to ask for a different prompt if it's personally uncomfortable for me.

Totally Tubular

Same bonuses apply as before, except the art request is upgraded to a single character lineart that can be full body, or you can request an additional character in the clean sketch instead, bringing it up to three. Designs cannot be overly complex, or I will simplify them for ease of drawing.Same restrictions apply as previous art tiers.
