This is an important announcement concerning my Patreon Campaign. After just the first month of my monthly campaign, I realize I made a big mistake in its conception and its practice. Therefore I am going to be making some major alterations to the campaign.
The first -and most important- change is I'm shifting from a monthly campaign into a "per creation" campaign. I realize this may seem like a scheme to make more money from pledges, but in reality it's because my workflow is so sparse most of the time, that I feel I don't produce enough work to warrant regular monthly pledges. In fact this past month alone had me focused solely on Patreon rewards and raffle prizes, as well as a delayed commission from the previous month. I have actually made no public commissions this month, nor have I had the time or energy for personal pieces.
Second, I will be tweaking the monthly raffle a bit. Instead of multiple prizes of different styles, there will only be one prize. The rendering style of it will go up as pledge goals are met. So it will start as a Sketch raffle, then Simple shaded, etc...
As for how many pieces I will make, I am not likely to make more than 5 per month. Sketches and sketch paintings won't count as creations, nor will paid commissions. As for the pledges, they won't go higher than $10. For now, at least. If I get settled with my workflow, and even get regular stream time, I may add a special pledge for guaranteed commission slots or something to that effect. This also means that the $20 and $80 pledge slots will no longer exist. I don't like taking away art from patrons, but this "guaranteed commission slot" model was a major reason in this change.
I will switch over to the per month model immediately since the September month is almost over and I don't want patrons being charged for a monthly payment.
I apologize for this sudden change, and for disrupting the convenience of regular pledges. I'm especially sorry to the new patrons who joined this month, as due to the new changes you may not receive a raffle prize just yet.
