Changes Made! New Tier Structer! (Patreon)

I'm excited to announce and explain all the changes being made. Please note! My profile will be getting edited throughout the day. By 02/11/2017 everything should be completed but this will just serve as a summary as to what all is being done!

• Tier Structer

As you can probably see, my tier structer has changed! And I would think for the better hopefully. There are still 3 tiers, but what they offer and the pricing them have changed. The previous tiers have been removed but patrons supporting at the old tiers were not removed with the tiers. 

What does this mean for me?

If you were supporting me before, you will still be at whatever pledge that you were at before which I don't want to happen unless you want that to be the case! You would have to edit your pledge and choose a new tier that you would like to pledge too.

Eventually, I will be adding another higher tier that is currently not listed. When it is released, it will be limited to 10 people at first and may eventually grow. But, in the future when it is available, this will be the tier where I start shipping physical merchandise of the month to whoever is pledged to that tier.

If you have any questions/concerns about this, please feel free to send me a message and ask! :D

• E621

As you probably already knew. For the longest time my stuff was removed from e621 due to a DNP I placed on my artwork. The reasoning behind this was due to people posting the 4K images that should only be for my patrons to e621 and at the time the original DNP was placed, there was no real workaround for that. 

Well, i'm proud to announce that my artwork will now be back on E621! We have come to a resolution on how things will be posted and have moved the DNP to a conditional DNP.

 What does this mean for me? 

Patrons and other fans will now be able to post anything from my public galleries. Though, as of lately i'm only active on FurAffinity  so stuff that isn't already on e621 will be found there. But anyone can post material from my public FurAffinity  account to e621 !

If anyone ever has any problems with this, please shoot me a message! The admins over at e621 are working hard to ensure this happens and I really do appreciate them for that.

• New Goal

Now, I did have several goals that went unedited for a long time. Well that has now changed! Unfortunately, due to original contracts falling through and me constantly being slammed with new work needing to be completed. ALL of my previous goals have been scrapped for now. 

My new goal as of now is listed on my profile  on the left hand side. To summarize, this goal will basically be enough to alleviate some of my commission work and allow me to work harder on other projects that I have cooking up for the future of my patreon. I've already been in communication with multiple suppliers for things that i'm looking to have made with my designs that I will eventually ship out to my highest tier when it's created.

Things to expect in the near future that could/would be shipped out.

• Prints
• T-Shirts
• Fursuit Accessories
• Nic-Nacs (keychains, buttons, badges etc.)
• Sketches for patrons

• Profile Changes

Throughout today I will be drastically changing my profile as I feel like it's long..LONG overdue for an update.  Please allow me the full day for this and expect to notice and see edits and changes that you may not have been expecting. I also want to make aware of other profile changes that will be made.

Amount Per Month and Patron Pledges

Is no longer going to be made public. I made sure to ask my current patrons if this would be ok with them and it's honestly something that should be private. This basically means patrons or public viewers will no longer be able to see the amount being made through patreon per month. This will assist with possible trolls as well as letting old and future patrons be able to focus on the artwork rather than the politics. 

I will also be hiding who is pledging what to what tiers. Reason being, i've had concerns and other people come to me explaining that if their name was hidden they would've supported. So, to avoid things like that and as well as to avoid scaring off other potential patrons this will now be hidden!

Future Changes to Current Tier Structer

As I get started with my revamp, whats offered in the specific tiers will be limited. But, as I grow and as ideas that I have become implemented. Things like voting for what patreon only image i'll be supplying or voting for what types of commissions i'll open up for and other polls will be offered in certain tiers. There will also be other things added that I don't really wanna say as of now because I want to ensure it's entirely possible before making promises..BUT, as soon as I come up with a means to making these smaller things happen. The current tier list will be offering more eventually but as of right now it's going to stay where it's at. Just know that in the future, there will be more :D

Downloading Options for Future Art Packs

Now it's known that i've been using Drop Box as my method for downloading my artpacks. I have gotten several complaints that it's either not working correctly or people from certain areas of the world not being able to actually download. Now, what i've been thinking to resolve this would be to start using websites like Mega.nz  and google drive . If you have other platforms you frequently download from and/or prefer please let me know! Also, if you've been downloading from Drop Box, let me know how that has been working for you. Feel free to comment on this about how you feel about where you would like to download the art packs from. ^^

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So this pretty much wraps everything up! If there are things that i'm missing I will be editing this post with any new information. If you have any questions, comments or concerns that you feel I should know about. Please, feel free to either send me a direct message or comment on this post with a question and i'll send you an answer back via private message! I REALLY appreciate all of those who've have supported me through all this and you all really do mean the world to me. I'm excited to continue sharing my artwork as well as making sure any new advances with my projects get to all of you FIRST!

Sincerly,
