What you get

Why people join Brightwell

Everything, first

Members see finished work days before it goes anywhere else, and see the versions that came before it.

The process posts

Two or three a week. Sketches, dead ends, the reasoning, and the bits that are embarrassing until they work.

Files and sources

Project files, brushes, presets, stems, templates — whatever the thing was actually made in.

A room, not a comment section

Members talk to each other. It is small and it is moderated and it is the best part.

Monthly hangout

An hour on camera. Half of it is answering things, half of it is working while people watch.

No sponsors

This membership is the whole business model, which is why nothing here has to be safe.

Questions

Two or three times a week for members, plus a public post roughly monthly. Sometimes more when a project is going badly, which is when the posts are best.
