Important: An overview of upcoming changes (Patreon)

Greetings everyone!

So, as most of you should know by now I will be rolling out major changes in the Patreon for February. This message is to make sure that everyone is informed and capable of making any changes in their patronage or tier status before those changes go into effect.

First and foremost: The $15 and $40 tiers will no longer exist come February. This is to allow me to instead take work directly through the Discord server without being tied to the restrictions and complications of a Patreon tier. What this means is that anyone in said tiers will need to switch to a lower tier ($1, $5, $10) to continue receiving benefits for their patronage. Patreon will not automatically change or delete your pledged amount, so you must do so manually if you wish to continue your patronage and continue receiving benefits.

The info for the lower tiers has been updated to better reflect the benefits.

Most notably the $10 tier now includes a special role for the Discord server which will allow you to participate in upcoming monthly community streams by voting on and submitting various subjects for me to work on.

More specifically these streams (which will occur one to a few times a month depending on my availability) will consist of various thing like:

-Projects/paintings that folks can vote on subject matter/characters, etc
-Sketch streams where folks can submit OCs/characters for me to pick and draw for a specific theme
-Mess with Tara streams where you can vote on what I draw happening to me (oh dear)

Anyone will be able to watch these streams but to vote/submit/participate in antics you will need the Discord role.

Going forward I plan to be running everything through the Discord server, as it is a far more reliable hub for communication and has been quite successful up to this point. I’m hoping to continue growing it into a fun, safe community for fans of this kind of content!

As for how I’ll be taking work going forward:

I will be taking hourly stream slot commissions through the Discord server.
These streams will be $50/hour for me to work on whatever you like. (subject to my normal terms/conditions) So you may use the time to have me work on a sketch/painting, refine previous work I’ve done, etc.
We will determine the number of hours beforehand and I will invoice you through paypal. If desired to continue beyond the pre-determined time you may ask for additional time at which point I will send a new invoice for the additional time. (obviously subject to the time available to me, or else it will need to be continued at a later date)

This hourly stream system will not be completely replacing my commissions. I will still be taking carious other kinds of commissions going forward, but this will be an ongoing offer exclusive to those in the Discord server.

And that is all I’ve got for now!
I've been through a lot this past year with the start of my transition and my divorce, so all of your patience and support has been a blessing. Thank you everyone and I hope to give you even more awesome work going forward! <3
