Patreon Update! (Patreon)

Things have been been a bit crazy here lately and as I have mentioned, a few times now, I have been planning to change some things here on patreon. Unfortunately, until just recently I wasn't even entirely sure of exactly what it would mean. Thankfully, after some planning with other artists and friends on ways to improve workflow and overall patreon experience, I'm finally confident that what we have come up with will be an improvement to the current functionality of my patreon. So after this announcement I will post a quick overview of the changes that will go live next month.

I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me thus far. It has really meant a lot to have your support and encouragement to keep me moving forward and improving. Building a well rounded patreon is a game of trial and error in some ways, and I hope that most of you will stick with me through this transition. I am really excited to implement this change and continue creating awesome new content that I believe everyone will enjoy, as well as improve my productivity and completion times on patreon in general.

In its current form, my Patreon, though it definitely has its good points, has become impossible for me to maintain. It was always supposed to be a way for me to get feedback directly from all of you, while allowing everyone to help support new projects that they wanted me to work on. Instead, I am now struggling to keep my head above water especially when a day or two goes awry or if a convention comes up.

This improvement to my patreon will be more inclusive, have better rewards, and more reachable, fun goals. These new changes should also help a great deal with making room in my already busy schedule for awesome projects that more than just a select few of you will get a chance to enjoy and take part in as well as be more forgiving if my schedule gets messed up because of whatever life wants to throw my way. I understand that not everyone will be thrilled by these changes, and that’s okay, but it is something that needs to be done and I hope you will give the upgrade a chance. I would like my patreon to be more manageable on my end, and provide more, high quality content for you, and I believe these changes will be a move in the right direction.

Thank you all again for all of your time and support, especially this past year as I have been experimenting with different things on my patreon.

I love you all and would love to hear your feedback, especially when I post a mock up of the changes a little later. <3
