Changes to Tiers (Patreon)
Content
I'm going to be making some drastic changes to the way this Patreon page is set up starting October 1st. From then, the three sketch reward tiers will end, making this month the last batch I'll be accepting with the current set up.
Moving forward, there will be just the $1 and $5 tiers. These two will have changes/additions too.
Changes to $1:
The $1 tier will be as is for the most part. This pledge amount gets you posts of WIPs and discarded work along with sketches that I normally don't post, probably as a monthly roll up as to not spam a stream of sketch posts, but you will also be able to give suggestions on a monthly patron funded fan work. I may also ask at other places if need be, but ultimately, a poll here will decide what I finish out of a bunch of sketches. A lower res version of this drawing will be posted publicly (gotta git dat promotion), but possible alt versions (lewd/nsfw, etc.) will be posted in this tier. So yes, nsfw stuff will be posted here at that point. Just a bit of a warning. Although nothing explicit won't actually be in plain view, just tucked away in attachments.
Changes to $5
In the $5 tier you'll be able to view the monthly roll-up of ALL the art I do, including nsfw stuff (minus commissions), at the original resolution, as well as the .PSDs/.clips, etc., what-have-you, if you're into seeing the inner workings of the drawings. I'm also planning to do time-lapse videos if possible, but can't say for sure on that one, but let me know if that's something you'd be interested in seeing.
I had also thought about doing a monthly animation loop in the same vein as the monthly drawing once a certain goal is met, but we'll see how this goes.
Regarding current and possible future sketch rewards
For those who are still owed sketch rewards, don't worry, I will be working on finishing them up over the next couple of months. Don't feel bad if you want to snatch up the last rewards. You won't be overloading me with work. Things are slow NOW, but I'm sure they will pick up sooner or later. If the first few months here were anything to go by, I know that under normal circumstances, I'm able to handle it with ease. After I'm back up to full gear, personalized drawings may come back, but they may be priced a little higher and there will be far fewer of them. It will pretty much just be one tier with about 4-5 slots.
Some words... (I couldn't think of a subtitle to this part)
So with these changes, I hope to be able to focus on more on commission work as a source of income, so if you're interested in that, I'll be sure to let you know once I've reopened them. This might not turn out well in the long run, but given how things are currently, especially in my mental state, I feel like some things needed some changes before things gets too out of hand. It will probably be a lot less stressful to work on fewer things and not worry about work piling up while in a slump like this. This might also leave me with more time/energy to work on personal stuff, which will in turn keep me happeh at least, but I do hope that what I produce in place of the previous monthly sketch rewards here is to everyone's liking.
And that's it! I'm probably forgetting something right now, but I'll be sure to make a follow up post if anything comes to mind. If there's any questions or suggestions you might have, don't be afraid to message me up!
With that said, thank you for reading and thank you for all the support you've given over the months!
