Big content updates (Patreon)

Content updates - 

So ive been thinking for a while now, about some options to make my content varied, but still overall varied.

I know that my most popular content currently is my npc animations, the swaps, and commissions. However, swaps are limited to 3 backgrounds and commissions I barely ever have time for, so theyve been almost non existant this year.

So due to this, I want to change my posting schedule a bit. I have found out the hard way that balancing the content I do with commissions is very hard work, if im going to do them both at the same time. Same goes for adding new npc swaps of old animations (Originally I intended to make new npc swaps every now and then for old animations, but I have never had proper time to do that.)

I have however, ''fixed''these problems, with some new ideas I came up with recently. I want to try for 3 months, a split schedule. Basically...

Month 1 will be the ''Animation'' month -

- 2 new patreon npc animations  (2 swaps for each animation) 

and 3 camera angles for the main angle of both animations.

- 1 patreon oc animation

- 6 patreon oc swaps

(this is what ive been doing for the past few months.)

Month 2 will be the ''Swap'' month - 

- 6 new npc swaps of old animations (potentially more)

- 1 patreon oc animation

- 6 patreon oc swaps

Explanation: The 6 new npc swaps, will be just like any of the swaps I currently make for new patreon animations, however they will now be swaps of ''old'' animations. So I will completly change the pairing and background for an old animation, and you guys will get to vote for which animations will get a update + who will be swapped into the animation.

There have been a lot of great swap suggestions for earlier animations, and this will be the oppurtunity to add in some of these, instead of letting the animations gain dust. 

This also means that patron oc swaps will get more background choises, to make the animations more varied :D 

Month 3 will be the ''Commission'' Month - 

- 4   commissions

- 1 patreon oc animation

- 6 patreon oc swaps

Explanation:

So, I will do 4 regular commissions, however the twist is that I will nfrom now on start to re-use animations from commissions. 

I will completly replace the background, and alter the camera angles, and then just re-use the animations. You guys will then get to vote for npcs to be swapped into the commissions. 1 swap per commission. (However, during the swap month, you guys can vote to add even more swap versions.)

The npc swap animations will be exclusive for patrons to view.

The npc -->swaps<-- will at a later time become swappable for patron ocs, like most my patreon animations. The original commission will not be swappable, to keep it unique. 

I get that this can suck a bit for commissioners, to see their animations re-used, however this seems to be the only way for me to balance patreon and commissions. So I have updated my commission page, and made it very clear, that I will re-use commission animations from now on, for npc swaps.

After the third month, we jump back to the animation month again, and start the loop over again. 

Summary / TL:DR -

Patrons still get exclusive content every month, and you get to keep voting for your favourite npcs.

Swaps will become more varied, instead of gathering dust, and leaving oc swaps with few options. You will finally have more choices for unique backgrounds.

Commissions will be every third month on a regular basis, with 4 slots, instead of 3 slots every 4-7 months.

I implemented higher percentages off commissions for patrons a month ago or so, and with this change, it means that you are much more likely to finally be able to take advantage of that. 

1 of the 4 commission slots will be exclusive for 20$ patrons, so you have an even higher chance of being able to get a commission every month.
