17th July 2021 - Announcement (Patreon)

---------------------English------------------------

I've decided to change the current Patreon Settings. I will start to implement these changes on 2nd August 6pm (GMT+8). Please make sure you switch your membership option to one of the three newly announced option before 9th August 6pm (GMT+8).

1) My Patreon will switch from Per Creation to Per Month; from the end of the Month to the beginning of the Month (will be charged immediately upon change).

2) Fees change

【Tips】 From 1$ increase to 3$
【Thick Ink】From 10$ increase to 12$
【Premium Gold Ink】New tier, price will be 15$

3) Benefits changes

【Tips】
Old – WIP, Vote and Early access  
New – Vote

【Thick Ink】
Old – Monthly reward, WIP, Vote and Early access
New – Monthly reward, WIP, Animation Preview and Vote

【Premium Gold Ink】
New – Monthly reward, WIP, Vote, Exclusive/early access to my original work, sketch, practice.

4) Patreon break time

There may be two months of rest in a year
- Chinese New Year
- my birthday (September)

As my family attaches great importance to culture, New Year will be a very busy time (I feel bad that I didn't spend enough time with them last year and this year due to workload). As for my birthday month, I just want to take a break and recharge to do some planning, self-improvement, and so on.

Q&A

1) Why the sudden change?

A: There may be some people who don't like this change or think it's unfair. This is to make my work more exclusive and hopefully, harder to be pirated. I am not a strong person. As a freelance artist, I have to handle everything on my own. However, I've reached to a point where I feel like my works were not appreciated as I battle with piracy these few months. This made me gradually feel demotivated as I think about it night and day for a solution. I quickly realized that I need to solve this problem in the fastest way possible, hence these changes were made.

2) Why did it switch from Per Creation to Per Month?

A: To automatically charge payment per month. Moreover, I provide one reward per month anyways, so nothing much has changed.

3) Why is “Premium Gold Ink” added?

A: There are those who just want to see artwork of the month and those who also want to see my original works. Premium Gold Ink is a great way to support my own creation.

I hope you can understand these changes. Every penny given is living expenses for myself, my family, utilities, software, etc. I cherish every support given to me, thank you.

我决定改动现在的Patreon设定。这些改动我将会在8月2号6pm (GMT+8) 开始执行。请在8月9号 6pm(GMT +8) 去你们的会员管理页面转换去最新公布的三个会员选择其中之一。

1）我的Patreon将会从Per Creation 转变为Per Month, 并且从月尾的收费转变为月头（将会在转变时候立刻收费）

2）费用的改变
【Tips】 从1$ 提升至3$
【浓墨】从10$提升至12$
【特级金墨】 新增， 价格15$

3）福利的改变
【Tips】
旧– 看过程，投票权 ，抢先看原创
新 – 投票权
【浓墨】
旧- 每月图包，看过程，投票权，抢先看原创
新 -每月图包，看过程，动画预览，投票权
【特级金墨】
新 – 每月图包，看过程，投票权，动画预览，独家/提前看我的原创，原创草图和练习等。

4）Patreon休息段
一年里面可能会有2个月的休息时间
· 华人新年时间段
· 我的生日( 9月)

我的家庭比较注重文化，所以新年非常繁忙（去年和今年新年忙着做图包没陪到家人觉得有点过意不去）。然后我的生日月份的话，就单纯想要休息充充电，可以做点计划调整，自我增值之类的。

Q&A

1）为什么会突然做这种改变？
答：或许会有人不满这种改变，也有人觉得不公平。这么做是为了让我的作品更加独有，并且希望不会再被外流。我也是一个脆弱的人，我没多坚强。作为一位自由绘师，凡是自己来，自己扛，什么事都要自己面对。然而，在这几个月我和那些盗版做争斗的过程中，觉得自己作为一位绘师，还有我的作品没有受到尊重。我没日没夜的想着解决方案，渐渐的我感到灰心丧气，没有创作的动力。但我也很快意识过来我要以最快的速度解决这个问题，所以才有了这些改变。

2）为什么会从Per Creation 变成Per month呢？
答：系统自动收款，加上现在固定1个月都只会有1份图包，所以并没有改变什么。

3）为什么会新增“特级金墨”
答：一些会员的加入或许只对当下月份的图包感兴趣，也有一些会员喜欢我的原创作品。特级金墨是对我个人创作的一份支持。

最后希望能体谅理解这些改动。你们所支持我的每一分钱，都是我和我父母的生活费，水电费，软体费等。你们对我的支持我都有好好珍惜，感谢大家
