Indiegogo or Indienono - UPDATED!
Added 2024-10-23 16:00:13 +0000 UTCThank you so much for your feedback! I've responded to all your comments and messages. It's been a very positive response - so I've decided to go for it!
Launching a crowd funding campaign is new to me and it feels like a pretty nerve-racking experience, but your reaction has given me the confidence I need. It's comforting to know that some people are interested!
My current plan is to launch on the 4th November for 60 days. This will take the campaign into the first week of the new year, so everything can be delivered before the end of January.
If the campaign goes well and exceeds my expectations, I'll be able to make more new comics and pin-ups - perhaps an exclusive 'Indiegogo Collection' to be delivered a few weeks later. I'll keep you posted and thanks again for all your comments and messages of support :)β₯οΈ
More spooky stuff on the way laterπ»

Hello there,
I thought it was about time for a quick update on my future plans and also... I really need your advice!
When I last asked for your help, many of you reached out to suggest a crowdfunding campaign, so I've spent a few days last week putting together an Indiegogo page...
https://www.indiegogo.com/project/preview/83a982db
As you'll see, it's not live and to be frank with you, I'm in two minds about whether to launch it at all. This is why I'm sharing it with you now.
The main reason for this campaign is to try and raise sufficient funds to continue working on new projects in 2025, but with less emphasis on Patreon income. This would mean I could actually launch a lower price tier on Patreon and still carry on making comics.
I'd be very grateful if you could take a quick look and let me know what you think. I've tried really hard to keep things simple and communicate the campaign clearly and I'd like to check if you think it reads okay, or if there are any other FAQs that I should add etc.
I truly value your honest feedback. Thank you so much in advance :)

Any update on this?

2024-11-11 02:34:26 +0000 UTCYou should try to launch more campaign, i dont think you reach all the public, for example i crossed you on tiktok and liked the comics, you should try to reach more people! Try some merchant too! Never saw an art like your comics and pinups

Totty
2024-10-24 13:06:41 +0000 UTCThank you, Ken! I'm currently compiling all the comic panels and it's a big ol' chunk of work - I'm hoping most people will think it's good value for money, (if you like that sort of thing!) :) T x
Totty
2024-10-24 13:05:53 +0000 UTCThank you David! I'd love to make some cross over comics :) Totty hasn't really made much of an impact in the wider comic community - probably due to the subject matter. Perhaps I need to reach out to more comic artists and writers with my future projects. Thank you for the IG promotion - I really appreciate it! T x
Totty
2024-10-24 13:03:22 +0000 UTCThank you Doctor! I'd love to make a physical book - I had a small collection printed for myself last year and reading the comics in print is a much nicer experience. If this campaign goes well, I may try approaching a few comic publishers :) T x

Totty
2024-10-24 12:56:39 +0000 UTCThank you Nako! Yes, i'll be making at least 4 exclusive new comics for the campaign and I'd be happy to add more if there's enough interest :) T x

2024-10-23 16:36:53 +0000 UTCI really wanna be a part of something, and supporting some genuinely good art is how I want to do it!
Jack Cotton
2024-10-23 16:36:38 +0000 UTCI will always be in
Jack Cotton
2024-10-23 16:34:09 +0000 UTCI don't have a large following at all but I've posted a few of my favourite (public) comics to my Instagram story hoping some friends will check them out.
David Gaynor
2024-10-23 16:30:51 +0000 UTCI'm in! Still dreaming of an annual printed collection.
Nico Feria
2024-10-23 16:27:18 +0000 UTCI will follow you to the end, into the very fires of Mordor!
Eric Pino
2024-10-23 16:26:08 +0000 UTCI would certainly contribute. It's a lot easier to convince some of my friends/coworkers to pick something physical up than a patreon as well.
Ken Frankland
2024-10-23 16:24:14 +0000 UTCI have been a long time fan of your work from pretty much the beginning when I found it on tiktok. I love the style and your cheeky humour. I personally would love to contribute to this to see more from you in the future in any capacity even if it's a side hobby for you. I know you have had issues with shadow bans before on social medias but I think if you start reposting some of your older comics that will help you out a lot. Marketing a small business like this is difficult but you have a supportive community here to help you. Think about reaching out to other artists maybe for cross overs or just for advice. I wish you all the best Totty/person behind Totty
David Gaynor
2024-10-23 16:19:31 +0000 UTCI would contribute. If it was a physical book of the comics/pinups with new content made for the book I'd happily pay like 40 pound for it
Doctor Michael Morbius
2024-10-23 16:15:05 +0000 UTCI think it's a good idea so you don't have to be worried about Patreon being the only income platform. In short, I'll definitely be glad to contribute!

M S
2024-10-23 16:09:37 +0000 UTCI think 2000 is an easy enough goal to hit. Have you thought about making some new content exclusive to the indiegogo as an enticement? Exclusive pinups or behind the scenes photos?
Nako
2024-10-23 16:06:05 +0000 UTCI donβt really see any issues with it. Clear goal, a great reward, and a possibility of more in the future. And a reasonable amount to ask for. I would definitely throw in my support
Tyler Brown
2024-10-23 16:04:52 +0000 UTCI don't have much feedback except to say I'd definitely contribute.
