Patreon changes (Patreon)

(TL;DR: Starting this month, my patreon will change from charging "per creation" to "monthly". Adjust your pledge before Jan 31 to keep your rewards - your monthly payment will be roughly equal to supporting two paid creations before.)
Hey guys! As I already wrote in my last update, after giving it some thought I decided that starting this month, I want to try switching to a monthly campaign instead of the per creation model.
What does that mean for you? For the last six months, I made two paid creations per month (except for December when I got sick), so this is going to be my baseline for the monthly campaign goal. With the change to monthly payment, every pledge tier will now be roughly doubled, which means that, on average, you should be paying the same or less than before for the same rewards (not counting post limits).
To keep your current rewards, you'll have to adjust your pledge accordingly before the end of January:
$1 per creation -> $2 monthly (Voyeur)
$2 per creation -> $4 monthly (Pervert)
$5 per creation -> $8 monthly (Fetishist)
Aside from aiming to keep making as much art as before, I also plan on posting more small updates of what I'm working on - giving you full comic page WIPs, design sketches, etc. (available for $4 and $8 tiers). Previously these were sparse and I want to give back more for your amazing support!
Why the change? I started feeling that under the current scheme, instead of focusing on making the best art I can, too often I stress out about whether I'll be able to finish a piece on time, get art block, and then rush to finish art at the very end of the month just to pay the bills. Perhaps I could save myself some grief if I knew that with your gracious support, the money will be there whether I publish on the 31st or the 2nd of next month, and all I have to do is focus on my creative process.
Additionally, I believe this will help me continue developing the Bimbo Catalogue dress up game I started working on - programming takes up a lot of time and energy, but a publishable build is still a way off. With continuous support, I can devote myself to it without feeling like I'm taking time out away from stuff that puts food on the table.
Hopefully the change will happen as smoothly as possible. We still have almost a month to go before the changes will actually take effect and you are charged with your first monthly payment. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to comment or DM me. :)
