Patreon Relaunch! [IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ]
🕑 Added 2017-02-02 05:55:06 +0000 UTC SOSome things changed around here! I've sent DMs to everyone to explain it all (and give you your discount codes) but I figure it's worth re-iterating everything in greater detail here.
First of all, thank you to everyone for supporting me until now. <3 I've made it this far with your help and I'm so so so excited to keep growing as an artist alongside you all.
I've made some changes to reflect where I want to take my Patreon. I want to focus on becoming self-sufficient and hopefully have this be what occupies most of my time. It fulfills me and makes me happy, and that's what motivates me to make the best art that I can. I want that to continue, I want to do more and better for the people who have always been there for me, and that's you, reading this. <3
So, let's go over the changes:
1. Pledges are now monthly: I've done this because with the print-exclusivitiy reward, it'd have been impossible to figure out on a weekly/bi-weekly schedule. On top of that, the way I currently distributed art was a bit cluttery for everyone's inboxes. It will instead be batch files sent at the end of each week. Print rewards will come at the end of the month.
!!! However, this has all caused one big issue which is that your pledges have moved from weekly to monthly with no adjustment. It's possible that, in the shift, you got bumped out of a tier or simply not giving as much as you wanted. !!!
!!! PLEASE ADJUST YOUR MONTHLY PLEDGES to reflect the tier you'd like to be in moving forward. For a lot of you, those who just want the high-res files, you'll be paying half what you used to. I don't really like undercutting myself but frankly I didn't like how much I put that at originally so... enjoy the discount?? !!!
2. New tier - Patreon-exclusive prints: I've ditched the old commission tier and the reason is because I'm simply too busy. Work is getting to be very hectic and I can't commit the time (or, more importantly, the energy) to them right now. They will resume as usual once my game ships.
I have, however, introduced a new tier, Patreon-exclusive prints. These will be unique prints, either personal art or warmups, that backers of this tier will recieve in the mail... and no one else. Ever. These will never be on the store, never elsewhere. I might raffle one or two but by-and-large, these are ONLY for you. <3
3. New goals: As you can tell, I've not really done many tutorials or anything around here and that's... really my fault. I frankly get super anxious about it and planning one ahead of time takes more energy and time than I anticipated. This might be something I get back to in the future but for now I just... can't.
Instead, I've added new goals for realistic things that I want to do. Streams, custom art, etc. I hope you'll all help me achieve them!
4. Store Discounts: Those of you who are in the discount tiers, you'll have recieved a discount code for checkout on my now-open print store ! Check your inboxes and happy shopping!
If you have any questions, just drop a comment here or send me a message. I'll also put up a FAQ shortly. <3
