November Billing Paused; $5 Tier Reward Changes (Patreon)
Content
Hi! Just a general little inquiry to see how you all would feel about this
So this month was pretty slow again—which isn't unusual around here, as a lot of my older Patrons know by now. But I'm still really disappointed that this keeps happening, so I've been thinking about adjusting some of the tier rewards to a workload that's more realistic for me to output consistently
As of right now, I think it's pretty clear that our current setup has proven to be too much for me to keep up with, so I've been looking at our current rewards to see what specifically might be overwhelming for me. The first thing that comes to mind is the character polls, so I'm strongly considering removing them in order to free up more time to spend on other projects. I'd love to be able to work on commissions, merch, streaming, animated shorts, and even little things like more emotes... But I feel like I never have time to get to any of that stuff with the way things are now T__T
And of course I'd still finish up the characters that were voted in during previous polls. I'm not trying to rip anyone off here or anything; I just want to create some extra space for myself, and I think this might be a good step in doing that. Plus admittedly I think I was having the most fun back when I was just drawing Holly and my other OC's over and over again haha
So then my question to you guys is: what would you all want to compensate for the removal of those polls? I think lowering the price of that tier is probably a pretty obvious first choice, but I'd also be down to try more exclusivity on artwork, more alternate/wedgie pieces, source files, or commentary/guides of some sort? I'm really open to anything here—although preferably something simple, so we don't run into the same problem again lol... Constant animations just take so much out of me
The November billing cycle will be paused, meaning none of you will be charged on the 1st of next month while we get everything figured out. Let me know what you guys think!
