Changes to the $20 Tier. (Patreon)
Content
I just wanted to say I really appreciate everyone who helps support me. Whether if you just want to see my sketches, full-resolution art and PSD files or if you pledge to the highest tier to get a request every month.
However, I need to alter that latter tier. When I started patreon, the load in which people wanted art from me wasn't as high as it is now and I felt like a discount of $10 from my normal pinup price seemed find as it was a way to get people to commission from me.
From then, I had changed my commission methods from being restricted to patreon requests and those who can make it to my streams to just about anyone interested. As a result, the workload has increased quite a bit. I am sure general awareness of my art growth contributed to that as well.

I felt like it's a way to give back to those pledging to me, but I suppose the honest truth of the matter is that I am not benefitting from giving a third of my normal commission price as a discount. In a way with the price of the tier now, I am losing money.
While initially I thought of removing the tier outright, I will instead increase the $20 tier price to the price which I charge a normal commission request ($30).
Those who continue to support that tier will continue to gain the benefits of the lower tiers (all of my sketches and my full-resolution finished work and PSD files) upon their benefit of a sketch request.

Because of how Patreon handles tiers, I cannot simply edit the price. I will have to remove the tier and then make a new one identical to the last, sans the price. Patrons of the current tier will have to alter their pledge to continue to get the benefits.
I will do these changes on Wednesday the 27th.
TL;DR I am changing the pledge amount for a monthly sketch request from $20 to $30 on the 27th and you will have to repledge if you are already part of that tier.
