November Updates + Comm. Plans + Annual Group Pic Details! (Patreon)

This image was suggested by Stroh, as a "pumpkin Squeak latte". I decided to use the opportunity to tease a new bear character I've been cooking up c:

Also, a warm welcome to newcomers: GammaBlu, Nick W., Alzar2304, Chris, and Dylan Bun! Hope you all enjoy your stay <3

News/Updates for November below, for those interested.

=========================

→ Annual Group Picture Reminder
A reminder for all existing patrons of $6 or more to throw your character refs my way before November 26th. I just need a poke and a ref to include you so you can get in on this $50 value. Look for the group picture's rough draft on November 2nd.

* Note: "Existing patrons" is defined as any $6 (or more) supporter who had subscribed before this post had gone live. The above picture's purpose is to serve as a "thank you" to those who have supported me throughout 2020. New $6+ subscribers that join *after* this post has gone live (Oct. 30th or later) *will not* be able to take advantage of this prize for the 2020 year.

→ Ticket Balance Updated
November tickets for VIP+ patrons have been added to your total!  You can always check your balance on the Patron Queue linked above. Poke me anytime via PM or Telegram if you have any questions or concerns about redeeming.

→ "When will you Open Commissions?" + NEW Comm-Related Patron Perk
I had a few questions regarding when I would start taking new inquiries. Of course, I'd like to open them as soon as possible. Right now as I'm clearing my backlog,  that's looking like early Spring 2021. That may change depending on how quickly I can go through the remainder of my queue.

When exact opening dates/times become clearer, I'll be sure to let you all know.
With that being said, I've decided to allow patrons from $6/mo - $30/mo  to have their commission concepts automatically approved once their slot is snagged.

Quick Commission Details (for patrons in tiers $6 - $30)

→ I'll be doing FCFS for patrons only
→ 2 - 3 slots per opening
→ Openings will have pre-announced dates and times
→ Ideally these 2 - 3 comms. will be completed within the month
→ Your concept is guaranteed approved as long as it abides by my TOS
→ No complexity limits on your piece (if you want to go wild, go wild)
→ I'll continue the above process every month or so until every interested patron nabs a slot. It's very important to me that supporters can have access to custom art from someone they're helping support.

---------------

→ NEW AD Deluxe prize option
AD Deluxe's prize schedule will reboot for the new year, with the first prize month of the new year being in January. Going forward, I will announce prize months in my Update posts so nobody accidently misses theirs.

Starting with January's prize, you can now choose to have TWO of your (previous) reward sketches flat-colored as your prize. So, each prize month you can choose one of the 4 available prizes:
➡ a digital sketch, or
➡ TWO bust Telegram stickers (1 character), or
➡ or ONE waist-up Telegram sticker (2 characters)
➡ flat-colors on two previous digital sketches

→ MORE SLOTS in Deluxe & VIP
This was requested by a few people that wanted to upgrade their pledge.
Starting this month, I'm gradually opening more slots in my limited tiers. I'll continue to gradually open slots on the 1st of each month until I reach a total of 8-10 Deluxe slots (currently limited to 4), and 5 VIP slots (currently limited to 2).
