SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE COMING…
In the oncoming future we are planning to develop subscriptions for viewing our future films and animation products. Currently you can join for free, as a standard member, with our Standard Membership. Soon between now and early 2027. We will offer the Nocturnal Membership. Which allow us to have members, that serve our cause to be ambassadors of what we do out there in the world.
We are currently structuring the skeleton, that is our website. To support these features per the concept(s) of subscriptions. There will be a Silver and Gold Subscription option, also. Why Are You Doing This? In the upcoming future per our video content & Independent film features. We are planning on releasing long form features. Meaning getting away from the last few years of releasing .30 sec's - 5 minute style features or content. We also may still be growing. Yet, we are committed to keeping and creating high quality content. There will still be content & community features available to everyone. However creating the high quality content we are intending for our vested future. Takes real time, resources, and ongoing high end development with expensive tools.
By offering our planned two types of membership(s) & our planned two types of subscription(s). We, as a production studio, will have the future ability to maintain & create a further sustainable model that let's us:
- Invest in better features. Faster updates and higher quality content.
- Reduce intrusive advertising from our video content, that is featured on third party websites. Meaning sites we host our content through to be viewed here. (Example(s): YouTube).
- Keep the core experience free & open while rewarding our most dedicated supporters.
- Grow faster & serve our community better.
In Short: Your support helps us grow into something even more valuable for everyone.

Every current member and future member should have understanding and basic knowledge of one of the memberships we already offer. Which is our: Basic / Standard Membership, to include knowledge of its perks. If you have not yet embraced nor understood what it means to be a Basic / Standard member you can do so :HERE:
The following are some “potentially planned” perks, that will be available for: Nocturnal - Silver - and Gold memberships / subscriptions.
- NOCTURNAL MEMBERSHIP: As featured in the image above. Will feature the Red “Zero” owl logo. Being a member of this will make one a Ambassador to our cause out there in the world & on the street. With the ability to work in our name to rally more future fans, viewers, & clients.

This subscription model will allow subscribers to have monthly access to the future sections of: www.ZeroDarkArt.com, that will require a subscription membership to view, the Silver Subscription, that is… Our planned cost monthly for this model will be fair to you, as a subscriber to start.
- GOLD SUBSCRIPTION: This feature will be one of our planned subscription models, that will be yearly based. Branded with our gold “Zero” logo. We are potentially planning on doing either a yearly based model or 3-5 year based model. We are still deciding. The goal of this model, will be to give a future subscriber the ability to view all subscription based content. To include be given all digital products released within the subscribed allowed time frame (which ever we go with), the ability to have those products free. To include planned free hard-copy products and certain merch for free. This model although planned to potentially be our highest priced model. In the long run will save you from wait times or having to pay individually for certain merch and released to sale content, that our studio makes.
WHY THIS ALL MATTERS??
Every future membership / subscription member will directly fuel:
- New Content; Video Features; & films.
- Heavy Site improvements & Performance.
- Community Initiatives.
This will become a partnership where you help us keep value here at: www.ZeroDarkArt.com with the ability to keep building and provide / give more for your experience in return.
WHY ARE YOU GOING THIS ROUTE?? We have studied the concept of membership & subscription models for the last three years. We realize many into today's modern world the last 10 years prefer this format of dealing with business's offers. Especially from the entertainment stand point & products those types of companies offer.
Since it does not require having to return a site to constantly to order or deal with factors they deem un-necessary. We also, as stated above, are looking to grow with the future & also be able to provide multiple means to purchase our products or experience our products. We are developing a method, in which we provide more & the ability to purchase from us. Per the style or method you choose. In short: Giving an individual or person the ability to have options. In their personal preferred method of enjoying our products.
WHEN CAN THESE MEMBERSHIP / SUBSCRIPTION MODELS BE EXPECTED? You can expect the Nocturnal membership & Silver Subscription model to appear in 2027. With the Gold Subscription following quickly after the release of Red & Silver models. As stated, we are prepping & coding the space, that will be the home for these on: www.ZeroDarkArt.com
Stay frosty & Stay Tuned.
