Future plans 'n stuff (Patreon)

Currently working on the sketchwork for the newest pictures set... expect to see/receive those later today, or tomorrow at best = )
That said, time to discuss a couple things...
So, even tho it took way too long to get it finished, and that is pretty much 80% my fault and 20% random shit I can't control, I really liked going through the Nami's interactive story, as I always much prefer a long and detailed narration. I do feel however that maybe we should do things a bit differently, to make sure I don't make you wait months for a single update. Among the alternatives I thought about there would be doing something more linear, like one pic per month, or doing shorter stories every 3-4 months, but having you guys voting the character and what she goes through at the beginning. I'll post a poll about this right after this post, leaving also the option to keep doing stuff the way we did for Nami, if you don't mind longer waits in-between updates. Please do check that up, or don't complain if/after I change how we do the interactive story stuff xD
Also, I'm planning to do some changes to the higher Patrons tier: I'd like to raise the 35$ tier to 40$... it's still cheaper than most artists who let you have a picture per month, and I think after two years I deserve a small raise. Also, I want to change much more significantly the 15$ tier: most of the times people who subscribe to it pledge once, get their one picture, and then disappear in a month or two, basically get me to do stuff for them for much cheaper than I'd do for everyone else. So instead, I'll turn the 15$ in a "monthly suggestion tier" where everyone who pledge that high can suggest me a picture idea, and I'll pick the one suggestion I like the most, that way the people who actually stick around long can end up with more than one pic done for them, and their loyalty is a bit more rewarded.
Also, and this unlike the other changes is not negotiable, I will change the pledge method so that people get charged once they subscribe, because right now there's a bunch of people who subscribe early in the month, un-subscribe right before the end of it , and then re-subscribe early the month after, never ever paying a dime. Nobody is forced to throw money at me if they don't want, but since I eventually post everything in public anyway, if you can't or don't want to actually pledge money, how about you just follow my other galleries, and wait slightly more to see the new pics, instead of pledge-baiting me?
Alright... I think I'm done. Other than the "pledge at subscription", everything else I just talked about is up for debate, so if you have any feedback or suggestion, post them in the comments, and we'll discuss about it = ) See you very very soon with the new sketches, and have a nice day!
