Hey all my beloved Patrons!

On the 1st of November, I will have my 2 year anniversary, here on Patreon. Yay! This means that your amazing support, have made it possible for me to provide you with tutorials, full time, for 2 full years now, wich I cant be thankfull enough for - & this is a journey I really want to continue. It still makes my day, when I receive messages from you, that you have learned a lot through my tutorials – because that is the whole purpose of it ! It also makes me so happy to see that there is a lot of patrons on the 3 different tiers that I created 2 years ago – without any clear idea about how they would be received :D

These 2 years of producing tutorials also means, that there is a total of… wait for it.. 270  PDF & video tutorials now on the patreon – wich is quite a painting-guide library :D ! Besides that, my painting quality have become better & better with time, wich is also pretty cool to look through the process, from the beginning & until now – and I am still so motivated to become much better. Finally, I am also very satisfied that I have been able to provide you with around 8-10 new painting tutorials each month – wich I know is more than the most of other similar Patreon tutorial creators.

As we are now 2 years into the process, I also think its time to make some adjustments – wich I truly hope that you will find appropriate!

The first adjustment is regarding a  new additional "Full tutorials " tier-  When I started the Patreon I thought it was a decent price, as I was kind of new in the business & the platform was totally fresh, with a small amount of painting guides – as mentioned before, there is now a huge amount of tutorials that is already to find on the Patreon (with overview documents to make them easier to locate) – my painting quality have improved through the years, wich means that I am also putting more time in the specific painting sessions. I have therefor decided to raise the price on an additional 5$ tier (Full tutorials) to 8$, for new patrons entering after the 1st of November 2021. I truly hope you understand the reasons for this 😊 In all fairness i know that the new full tutorial price is still lower than other creators , with the same amount of tutorials released. With the higher price, it also means that I will improve on other specific areas, such as:

- Upgraded overview documents – I will add an additional overview category, wich is devided in Colours. This means : Lets say you are looking for a NMM Gold tutorial - here you will simply just have to find the section called “NMM Gold tutorials”, and here there will be links for the different tutorials I have made for this specific colour. The same for other colours like blue, green, red etc. but also for skins & textures/fabric like leather & cloth.

- I am going to do a monthly Twitch session of 1-2 hours, where I will show my painting process live & just hang out. As soon as I have received remaining setup tools for my camera, I will share information.

- Upgrade my Discord activity on a weekly basis, where we also can hang out and chat about our beloved hobby.

- Front & back pictures in tutorials – this will accure in chosen tutorials, where the painted element is crucial from both angles.

For the remaining 2 tiers, there will also be small price adjustments for 2 new additional tiers. The NRMpaint Extra tier will raise from 15 to 20$ & the Feedback through skype tier, will raise from 35 to 45 $  for new patrons entering after the 1st of november. I Truly enjoy giving feedback & I put a lot of effort & time in giving the best feedback I can, in order for you as a Patron can improve – wich I thankfully have heard from a lot of you, that you have. I therefor invest more & more time in it & my knowledge about providing feedback & miniature painting in general (colour settings, contrast, light setting, Non metallic metal etc) have improved through the years. , Here I will also improve a specific area:

- Upgrade my editing programme, in order to create better & more precise illustrations for feedback. 

Besides all the before mentioned adjustments & improvements, I am also going invest some funds in upgrading all the wallpaper/pictures on the Patreon page, other painting brands & better editing programme. I am also considering investing in a new camera.As mentioned before these adjustments will be official from the 1st of November.

Finally i am heavily thinking about creating & investing in my own webpage, with a much better & simple setup - wich will make it both easier for you, but also me, to navigate through. But more info later about that!

 I truly hope that you find all these adjustments reasonable, & that you will continue following me on this next step on my Patreon journey – because I cant do this without your simply amazing support! 😊 Imagine where we can be in another 2 years :D!

Feel free to ask any questions in the comments & I will answer them quickly!

Have a great day everyone & stay tuned for more tutorials soon! :D

Best regards Nikolas

Ps. On the 1st of November we celebrate – I am going to hand out at least 3 newly painted miniatures by me – more info coming !
