Welcome to the home page for Ash Something Art’s VIP Funpass Membership!
If you’re not already a VIP Funpass member, choose a tier to subscribe to below to get yourself started! I offer this method of payment as a means to give my fans and followers a “Payment Plan” while also providing myself with a consistent baseline income- something that is usually rather elusive for artists-for-hire and commission based creators.
Check out the tiers below to see what comes with your membership!
As of this time, the VIP Funpass Membership does not include merch tiers or tangible monthly rewards, however I’m working daily to getting to a point where I can offer those types of things. Until then, however, your subscription will grant you up to a 35% discount on all commissions, and every dollar you pay counts as a credit toward any future commissions you may want! On top of that you get some universal perks like free entries into any raffles/drawings that Ash Something Art runs, as well as access to the Member’s Only/VIP channels on my discord server! And on top of that, regardless of the tier you subscribe to, if you subscribe annually you get two months free- Commission Credits and all!

What is the VIP Funpass?
Similar to platforms like Patreon or Subscribestar, the VIP Funpass is a subscription program that allows my fans and followers to support me for a small amount of money every month. How much you pay is up to you, and you can stop whenever you want.
Why the VIP Funpass and not Patreon, or another platform?
Hosting the program myself gives me a lot more control over what content I can present. When I was on other platforms it took a ton of effort and upkeep, and I always felt like my reward tier content was a bit too erratic and varied to be marketable on them. On top of that, even with 18+ profiles, a lot of the NSFW art that I would do would get reported or flagged as against their TOS. I don’t have any of those concerns here.
I also take a lot of the stress that comes from HAVING to post regularly on those platforms, to remain relevant, off of myself by instead providing discounts and commission credits as tier rewards here (which isn’t nearly as feasible on those platforms due to the exorbitant fees they add to creators).
How Does it work?
It’s pretty straightforward. You click one of the buttons above for the tier you want to subscribe to, confirm your monthly or annual payment, and you’re done.
There’s a login/logout link in the upper left of every page of the website so you can log in and out from whatever page you’re on, and if you ever want to cancel your membership or subscription, you just have to login. Once you do, login button will change to “Manage your Funpass Membership”.
If you click it, you will be taken to your account settings for Ash Something Art, and you can decide to cancel or change your subscription as you see fit!
Why this instead of commissions or merch?
Well, honestly, it’s not INSTEAD of those things. I take commissions and sell merch, both; And while the pages are currently being reconstructed, this site DOES have links to both my merch and some of my commission packages- so if you want to go that route, then by all means please do!
However, what the Funpass Membership provides is an up-front, baseline income for me. Relying entirely on commissions and merch sales is H A R D. Some months I only sell a couple of sketch commissions for $25-50 each, and other months I may land 3-5 commissions over $300 each. But there’s uncertainty and a LOT of stress that comes with that.
So instead, I offer this membership/subscription as a way for friends, fans and followers, to drop me a monthly $5-25 at their convenience.
And those smaller amounts add up a LOT. 10 subscribers on the Knave is around $45 a month after fees. 20 subscribers on The Jack comes out to around $180. Unlike random commissions, the income I get from this subscription income isn’t income that comes with an immediate obligation on my part. It takes you a few months to save up enough credits to get a commission, and while the end outcome is that every subscriber gets their commissions eventually, it’s when YOU want to cash in- which makes everything about this setup preferable to me.
