• Goodies will include: A6 print + Sticker 

☕ Mocca [+20$]

• The request will be a BUST commission (Note: this change just will be applied to new Mocca patrons)

Why am I making these changes?

(Note: this is a explanation related to my personal life situation!) My method to create the Patreon content is dedicating the first week of the month to prepare the basic packs., sharing it and schedule the different posts. Then, during the month I spend a lot of hours with Mocca commissions, birthday presents and when it's the time, preparing the packages for the Hot Chocolate and Mocca tiers. 

It is really time consuming and unfortunately, recently my life is being a bit messy. Right now, Patreon covers the tax agency and freelance fees, but I'm really far from living of my art right now. As an artist, I depend on social media to find potential clients, and to avoid been punished by the algorithms, I have the need to create content constantly, and trying different platforms. While I try to keep going with my art career, I keep working on a portfolio more related with my engineering career, and doing some online courses while applying for some jobs, plus, I'm trying to get my car license, I am giving art classes in my town and also, I'm  working on a comic. 

I really need to find a balance with all this, and be aware of the time I can dedicate. Related to Patreon, I have checked other artists to compare the kind of rewards and where they usually place each tier tohave some inspiration and ideas!

So, for Capuccino, I would like to be more... instant? I have to admit I have a huge fear to post here very often, to not bother with the Patreon notifications people receive. But at the same time I would like to include more wips and sketches, this stuff I don't usually share on social media. 

The reason why I move the art tips to Chai Latte it's to get some balance. I still think Chai Latte needs more stuff, especially since NSFW and Worldbuildings rewards aren't done all the months!

About the Birthday Present. It's starting to be a bit overwhelming hehe, having 4-8 presents to do every month... In case I will keep growing, I will need to define limits, and that's the reason why I decided to move it to Hot Chocolate. I will keep drawing the doodles I owe to the lovely people who has been with me until now! But for new patrons, it will be a exclsuive reward for Hot Chocolate and Mocca!

Aside this! I will purchase a printer at the end of this month if things are going well. I'm planning to create the stickers and prints at home. It's being a bit complicated to get the prints (and not getting +500 extra sheets with the order hehe) and same with stickers! I will be working with A6 pieces but bigger sticker until I get used to it!

Anyway! I'm sorry for this long parraph! I hope yoy understand the changes! Friendly reminder that you can edit or cancel when you consider sweeties!

Thank yous so much for the support!

Hopefully I will finish all the rewards by this Friday night! :D
