Reminder About Subscription Model Transition
🕑 Added 2024-10-14 14:00:14 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Just in a few days my Patreon blog will migrate to Subscription payment per month model (instead of old payment per creation model) and enter into new 2.0 era. I'm a bit anxious about it since it's a risky situatuion - I'm losing a good chunk of my income and probably can lose more. But I'm really positive and excited about new ways of our interaction, new type of posts that you can already see now, and what's coming next.
After all, subscription model is something I've been thinking for a lot of time since it's really transparent way of payment.
So, just to remind you the key things of this transition:
No more paid posts per month. Only transparent fixed amount of payment per month, by your tier.
Quality and quantity of my posted work won't change!
You don't need to do anything if you want to stay on your current tier.
You will not be charged more in any case!
Your charge will stay the same if you stay on the same tier, even with monthly limit. The time of charge will also remain the same (1-st of the month, so the first charge for every existing patron will be 1-st of November)
Tier rewards will be slightly changed, please see below.
With this big change I've decided to make some changes to my Patreon too. Specifically, I want to share my personal creative journey with you, to learn and explore the world of art and design together. No experiences needed, you can follow along just with pen and paper!
To be even more specific, here's the list of updated tiers.
Please remember that if you stay on the tier you are on now nothing will change for you - your tier will be the same and your payment will be the same as it is right now, with monthly limit too.
By the end of October 2024, Tier's benefits and prices will be changed this way:
Adventurer - 4 USD/month. Perfect tier to get a lot of maps!
Full collection access as it is now, excluding Map Packs and Icon Megapack. Individual items and icon packs will be available! Patreon Polls.(if you was on this tier before and see this change too late and you really wanted to grab a specific map pack or icon megapack, please let me know and I'll send it to you)
Master - 6 USD/month. Main Tier! Learn about my process and get some bonuses.
Additional Versions. Early Access to my Videos, exclusive videos. + Organized Map packs and Icons Megapack + extended WIP posts with my notesCreator - 10 USD/month. Study with me and learn about my creative journey
Creative Post series with full paintings demos, PSDs, tips and tricks. Your name at the end of my painting videos. + Special posts with insights into my personal art journey, into learning art and design.Supporter - 10 USD/month - this tier will be unpublished but still active. If you are on this tier, you will get the same benefits as you are getting right now!
Architect - 15 USD/month. If you want to support me greatly! Your name at my website and gentle critique of your art piece once per month!
Basically, if you want a lot of maps and settlements for your games, Adventurer Tier is for you.
If you want more ways to plan your campaign, be inspired by a few things and even do your own sketches and designs - you'll like the Master Tier.
You want to make art as a hobby or even professionally? Want to learn a few things about specific details of my process? You are very welcome - choose Creator Tier. I'm sharing non-fantasy art things here too, even with traditional materials like ink, watercolor or gouache.
If you really want to support me and get a nice bonus for it, get the Architect Tier rewards!
I hope you'll like this changes and find new type of posts useful for you!
See you in a few days, in my Patreon Blog 2.0.
Svetlana.
