– I’m doing a livedraw today from 3-6pm on my Picarto page. Thats almost right now!
Hi everyone. This month I’m trying really hard to boost my Patreon. For those of you who don’t know, Patreon is a platform that allows the people who enjoy Modest Medusa and my other comics to give me financial support (if they are so inclined) and get rewards. My Patreon is absolutely vital to me since it accounts for about 75-100% of my monthly income (depending on the month). I’m very fortunate to have so many of you as patrons, and your generosity has allowed me to focus on making comics and art as my full time job. However, I really need to boost my Patreon income to cover basic living expenses, and I hope that introducing some new Goals and Rewards will encourage some of who can afford it to become patrons. Even a dollar or two every month really helps!
Last month I began offering a new $10 sketch pledge, where patrons will receive an original marker illustration of a Modest Medusa or Ghost Kiss character of their choice a few times a year. This is physical art mailed to your home! I’m also still offering rewards including new digital Modest Medusa wallpapers and Modest Medusa stickers.
Milestone Goals are unlocked when Patreon funding reaches a certain level. Right now my Patreon is at about $830/month (before taxes, which is what I live on). My upcoming goals are a monthly original art giveaway (unlocked at $1000), new monthly updates of my Legend of Korra fan comic (unlocked at $1200) and a new ongoing Modest Medusa side-comic, updated monthly for Patreon patrons only (unlocked at $1500). My short term goal is to reach $1200/month, which would allow me to actually meet my minimum monthly expenses. I really hope I can reach $1500/month later this year. This is important since income from Patreon allows me to spend my time making comics and art for you to read instead of having to take whatever freelance illustration jobs and commissions I can find just to make ends meet.
So if you’re already a patron, thank you so much for your support. You’ve paid for my food and my medicine and literally kept me alive. If you’d like to become a patron I would really appreciate it. As I said before, even $1 to $3 a month really helps! I know a lot of you are in the same boat I am and just can’t afford to become patrons. I also know a lot of you choose to show your support for this comic in other ways, and I totally appreciate your comments, your reblogs, your likes, your book purchases, your kickstarter pledges and your positive word of mouth.
Thank you all so much. You can check out my Patreon page here.

Oh wow. At first I was horrified, but it *just* occurred to me to wonder why Modest has the longest “hair” in the room. Can starving the snakes prevent them from taking over?
Glados has her snakes about as long.
Yeah, but Glados’ snakes are nowhere near as active. Not to mention she’s stuck their heads in bags.
none of the other medusas´ snake-hair seems active, we´ve yet to see them stick out a tongue let alone move….whereas modest´ are constantly moving and even seem to have a mind of their own at times.
Perhaps the bags over her snakes are to prevent unintended munching.
i think you might be up to something there! if you think about it, all their ‘hairstyles’ are somehow restricting the snakes, one even has their heads covered…so yeah, i guess feeding the snakes *IS* a bad thing.
My thoughts exactly, does feeding the snakes lead to them becoming dominant.
How do they get haircuts?
You hang around beside the lake,
Your friend and you – cigarette break,
But there’s a girl to whom I’ll introduce ya.
The lake monster swallowed her whole.
T’was a dimensional portal,
And that is how we met Modest Medusa.
Mod Medusa – Mod Medusa,
Mod Medusa – Mod Medu-u-u-uu-u-u-sa.
She spoke of Yeld but they needed proof.
It came along by way of hoof,
A psycho chainsaw-wielding appaloosa.
They took her there. They met her dad,
The evil prince, somebody bad.
Then back to home they took Modest Medusa.
Mod Medusa – etc.
She met some kids. She went to school.
On her first day she broke the rule.
It’s something for which they never excuse ya.
Her hair prepared for an attack,
But it was charmed. She lost her snack.
And for the day hungry went our Medusa.
Mod Medusa – etc.
Then Jenny came back up the pipe,
That small snake girl she planned to swipe.
They told some lies in order to confuse ya.
Some sheep joined on that merry jaunt,
She met her sibs – also her aunt,
And that’s where we now find Modest Medusa.
Mod Medusa – etc.
A++
Maybe the brain poo makes Modest smarter
