Tier & Pricing Changes
🕑 Added 2021-10-16 17:26:22 +0000 UTCHeya folks!
Finally got settled in well over here, and been getting caught up on things that slipped past in the business of the move. I’ve been meaning to update things for a while, and doing so after this two month pause seems to be the best time.
Prices are Increasing for all tiers
I deliberately set my original prices low, optimistic about how fast I could complete images, and with everything going on I have found myself working slower than that. So, the new prices are there to reflect that, in addition to keeping pace with cost of living expenses. Price increases are:
New Kid - $3 (Increase of $2)
Snack Sneaker - $6 (Increase of $1)
Draws on Walls - $30 (Increase of $10)
… In Sharpie - $60 (Increase of $30)
Patreon does not allow for changing a tier's price while people are currently pledged, so all those tiers will be retired on the 31st and replaced with new versions on the 1st. So, no one should be charged unless they choose to be.
Tier Rewards
There’s not much change here, but I want clarify and detail them, as well as share efforts I’m making to stay on track:
New Kid - ~2 Early access images per week, 8 per Month; Discord Channel
Save for outside issues, this was doable and fun, to prevent those issues I’ve been making a backlog of images in case I fall short at times.
Snack Sneaker - ~5 WIPs/Sketchs/Alts per week, 25 per Month, 1 Weekly Stream, Discord Channel
Focusing on allowing things to just be sketches, and remembering to save progress on images makes that straightforward. Been making good headway on discord streams, will begin doing some on Picarto.
Draws on Walls - 1 Sketch image, (or, tentatively, a 1 hour sketchpage stream)
… In Sharpie - 1 Flat coloured image with simple Background
With both of these I need to keep myself on track and stop going overboard on them, making sure it’s clear that Draws are sketches only, and limiting my BGs on Sharpie. As well as starting work on them on the 1st of the month instead of the 15th like I had been.
I think that’s all the changes and info right now, happy to answer questions and will have examples up before the 31st.
And I want to thank you all. I really feel most of you are too good for me, and it is really great being able to make things that I like that also make you all happy, thank you all for helping me and allowing that to be a thing.

Is there a certain time the Draws On Walls tier usually goes live?
And you should already be refunded for that! The 1st at 4PM EST for when the new tiers will be available
Lol I just got the drawing on the wall teir so a small increase won't hurt that much but when will the new teir prices drop so to snag the same teir?
Not at the moment no, my thinking is to open half the slots earlier and inform current teir holder, then do a general open of the other half later. That way new folks get a chance and people who still want to get the chance
Also should have asked this in my initial post but if we want to continue at the current tier with the new pricing, is there a way to ensure that we keep our slot so to speak?
You said it best 👌
Happy to hear you're raising your prices! Your work is so good and you deserve to be paid more <3
