$0/moFreePublic prices and benefits only
$3/moMythopoetic PartnerAs a Mythopoetic Partner, you are playing an important and valued role in supporting my work of crafting swords, knives, and fine-art. Giving $3 a month truly does help me teach through Patreon and continue in this craft that I love.
$5/moLore LearnerAs a Lore Learner, you have access to my private Patron-only feed where I post monthly updates and behind-the-scenes detailed views of current projects, as well as extensive articles about the learning the craft of bladesmithing no matter what your skill-level currently is. There I give details about how I am designing my work along with the tools and methods I use to bring them to life. I also post exclusive artwork not shown anywhere else in downloadable print-friendly sizes. But most importantly; I interact with you as a fellow learner of this craft!
$10/moApprenticeship AllyBe an integral part of Cedarlore Forge by becoming an Apprenticeship Ally. For $10/month, you'll have access to my Patron-only feed plus my private Instagram page and/or private Facebook group, where I hold absolutely nothing back and interact and collaborate with you on a daily basis. Through these Patron-only social pages I live-stream video while working in my shop and studio, which allows you to ask questions and provide feedback in real-time. I will be posting photos, videos clips, art, and ideas even more extensively than anywhere else. *Note: Once you become an Apprenticeship Ally, please be sure to follow/join the private IG or FB pages, linked in the thank-you message*
$70/moTome BearerCommission your very own custom-made 30 page Cedarlore art book filled with my original illustrations, and receive all of the previous tier benefits. These heirloom quality one-of-a-kind sketchbooks are hand crafted out of tooled leather, carved walnut wood covers, and heavy weight paper. Every page will be filled with intricately detailed "Mythopoetic" styled art and blade designs. And each Patron can suggest topics or subject matter they'd like me to depict in their book!
You can signup for the base amount at $70 per-month where the first two months will cover the crafting of your book. And from there I will meticulously illustrate one full side of one page every two months. Or you can signup and manually double your amount to $140 per-month equaling one illustration per-month, and have your book finished in half the time (60 illustrations total). Once your book is finished it will be shipped to you and you can change to a lesser tier, commission a second book, or say farewell and take your illuminated-tome on many adventures.
