Patreon Updates! (Patreon)

Hey guys! I have a lot to talk about today, so grab a snack!

First of all, for the $80 patrons, make sure you fill out the reward form. I know I still owe 2, but they're being worked on!

Now for the real news! So as of late, I've been pretty dang busy. Doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff. A big portion of that has been actively sitting down and finding what makes me happy as well as spending time on myself. Something I haven't really done much of these past few years. It's been great and I think I've realized a lot about myself. Not just from a month of personal time, but just from this year all together.

Without making a massive wall of text, I've basically become somewhat of a workaholic. Trying to juggle several separate art accounts as well as social medias and art for all of them. I was averaging over 100 pieces of art a month. Sounds impressive at first, but I actually think it's a bit scary. So what I've decided to do is really cut back and compartmentalize a few things. Remove my stressors and reorganize. I'm sure as patrons it's really frustrating to have me constantly change things around, and I do apologize! It comes from a place of wanting to give you guys the biggest bang for your buck! I really just wanted to make my patreon seem so cool and worth a pledge!

Recently, I had a bit of a talk with a friend. They told me that patreon should just be about the art and doing what makes me happy. Not because patrons don't matter, but because that's what everyone is here for, the art and to support me. All this other stuff just kind of takes away from that. So I want to get back to the basics!

So here are the things I want to change:

1. I'm going to remove all the fiff faff from the reward tiers. This means removing the whole voting thing. 

2. Focus lesson having to always create fully colored pieces for exclusives. Have fun creating more art I'm inspired to make and show you all.

3. Bringing back the request room. $5 and higher tiers can start giving me suggestions and ideas again!

4. I'll be adding a new channel to the patreon exclusive Discord where I'll be posting my wanted ads. Things like one off YCHs, quick commissions and volunteers for new commission examples.

These changes are going into effect immediately! I'll be editing the tier info on patreon shortly. I'll also be posting a journal to FA soon. Going into more depth and explaining some things.

Thank you again for being a patron and for dealing with my undeceive butt 😛
