PATREON UPDATE (pretty important stuff :,) (Patreon)

Patreon Revamp:

Holy Moley, I have something exciting to share and I think (hope) you will like it!  I also plan on making a video to explain a lot of this, but I wanted to make the announcement to you guys ahead of time in case any of you notice some changes in the descriptions around this page.  I don't want there to be any confusion.  

Digital Patreon rewards are changing to a Pay What You Wish system starting at $2!

AFTER 3 YEARS OF DELIVERING ART PACKS on patreon according to tier level, I felt it was time to switch it up.  

This is a really terrifying decision for me because, honestly, I have never had much luck when I have offered ‘pay what you want’ style merch in the past.  But I had to do some deep reflection and need to be honest with myself.  

I love you guys and many of you have supported my art for a long time!  Despite this and an increased audience size on other social media platforms over the years, my patreon page hasn’t actually grown much.  

In addition, as you most of you guys know, for financial stability reasons, I had to pickup a day job.  This of course has made my time and energy much more limited.  I feel like I have done my best with continuing to produce a lot of art in spite of this, but I am pretty darned exhausted. 

I have known for a while now that I really have been needing to make my patreon at least a little more streamlined in order to make the whole experience better for both me as a creator and you as a valued supporter!

It is my hope that with this slightly more simplified system, more folks will feel welcome to support with a low barrier of entry!  Like I said, I am TERRIFIED, and I’m sure that in the short term it will be a financial blow, but hopefully with your guys’ help, we can spread the word and bring more people into the fold! (not in an annoying or cultish sort of way please. lol)

Anyway, backstory aside (sorry I’m always so wordy!), here’s what the new rewards and tiers look like!

PAY WHAT YOU WISH:  All Digital Rewards

ꜰᴏʀ $2+ ʏᴏᴜ'ʟʟ ʀᴇᴄᴇɪᴠᴇ ᴀʟʟ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇs ᴀɴᴅ ᴀ ʙᴜɴᴄʜ ᴏꜰ ᴅɪɢɪᴛᴀʟ ʀᴇᴡᴀʀᴅs:

•        ❤  10% discount at my print store
•        ❤ 50% discount at my gumroad store   

SMALL PRINT GUILD  (currently limited to 50 spaces)

ꜰᴏʀ $10+ ʏᴏᴜ'ʟʟ ʀᴇᴄᴇɪᴠᴇ ᴀʟʟ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇs, ᴅɪɢɪᴛᴀʟ ʀᴇᴡᴀʀᴅs ᴀɴᴅ 1 sᴍᴀʟʟ ᴘʀɪɴᴛ ᴍᴀɪʟᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴏɴᴛʜʟʏ:

•           ❤ monthly small print
•           ❤  10% commission discount (when available)

*BRAND SPANKIN’ NEW NSFW PRINT TIER*

SPICY PRINT GUILD (currently limited to 25 spaces)

ᴀᴅᴜʟᴛs ᴏɴʟʏ!

for $15+ you'll recieve all updates, digital rewards and 2 small prints mailed to you monthly: 1 naughty, 1 nice

•          ❤ monthly small print
•          ❤ NSFW small print
•          ❤  10%commission discount (when available)

COLLECTORS CIRCLE (currently limited to 10 spaces)

for $50 you get EVERYTHING.  You'll recieve all updates, digital rewards, monthly small prints and large prints mailed to you:

•           ❤  2 large (usually 11x17) prints or a combination of products of the same or more value
•           ❤ monthly small print
•           ❤ NSFW small print (optional, let me know if you would like the spicy print included) 
•           ❤  10%commission discount (when available)
•           ❤  80% discount from my gumroad store (yeah! you get anything from my gumroad for almost free.) 

ALL DIGITAL REWARDS will still be delivered via Patreon Message.  A big difference might be that the amount of pieces I create each month will vary more.  I have been really yearning to create some larger paintings, maybe work on my comic idea, etc… which all take more time then just the usual character art.  So it may be that some months I only finish 2 or 3 pieces of art a month and somewhere I finish 6!  

A BIG GOAL of this change in structure is to give me a bit more freedom as a creator to pursue what projects I have been wanting to do but that have been put on the back burner for various reasons.  I still plan to create NSFW artworks, NSFW sketches, etc. there just might occasionally be a month that doesn’t include a full NSFW piece if I haven’t had time that month or something. (but you know me, I enjoy the spicy variations, so I’ll do my best to always include something spicy!)

HOW TO GET PREVIOUS ART PACKS:

As far as how to get your hands on past art packs, I am working on uploading my past art packs to gumroad.  I have a few up there now, and am doing my best to get the rest uploaded asap.  As you guys know, they are big, so it takes a long time to upload.  Ugh.  But, that’s where they will be and you can use your significant patreon discount to grab whatcha want.  Your discount codes for my print store and my gumroad store will be included in future rewards messages.  :)

So, there it is!  I hope you guys like the changes!  I so appreciate all of the support you guys have given thus far!  It really means a lot to me! 

WHAT TO DO NOW:

You are still welcome to continue supporting at the tier you are currently pledged at.  I would be very grateful and flattered if that’s what you choose to do, or you are welcome to move down to the PAY WHAT YOU WISH tier at whatever amount you choose.  Patrons in the SMALL PRINT GUILD tier don’t need to change tier levels to continue receiving rewards and prints.

AND LASTLY

if you have enjoyed supporting and have liked the rewards, I would be really grateful if you spread the word on social media about this page and the exciting changes!   

If we can reach and hold at 50 patrons, we’ll have a portrait commission raffle!    Let’s do this!
