An announcement I hope you'll like!
🕑 Added 2020-04-09 17:01:51 +0000 UTCIt's been over 5 years since I started my Patreon page, and there are now over one thousand of you supporting me! So I finally feel comfortable enough to commit to the biggest change to my Patreon page since it started.
I've always wished to make sure everyone feels good about supporting me here and that you feel you're getting a good deal. So, as of today, the full reward pack for each illustration is now $3 instead of $10! And this $3 reward tier is now the only one available when choosing tiers.
Giving you the option of getting all the rewards at a comfortable price feels like the right move, even if it potentially means I'm giving myself a pay cut by doing this. I'm hoping this change can also help bring in more people to make up for that. If you'd like to help me out, maybe tell a friend that stuff is much more affordable here now!
Those of you reading this who are already signed up are probably wondering how this affects your current pledge. Most of you will simply receive more rewards! And the rest of you will notice no difference unless you choose to change your pledge. It's pretty much that simple! I will send you a private message with the specific info about your tier.
Consolidating all the rewards into one tier and removing the other tiers as an option when choosing tiers is a way for me to make the rewards easier to understand for everyone. In the past I've hesitated to introduce new tiers and rewards because the tiers were getting cluttered, and, while I'm not making any promises at the moment, this change does open up options in the future.
That's it! I hope you guys feel as good about the change as I do. :)

Agreed. I didn't have a job for several months, and had to cut back. But $3 to support one of the very best digital artists on the internet? I don't hesitate.
very kind of you :)

Brought me back too. As previous people said, leaving was no reflection on you, but rather on my financial situation and having to cut patreons
bikkuri
holy balls! what a value. already thought 10 bucks is a steal.

You brought me back. My leaving was no reflection on your talent. You’re still a great artist. It’s just that I was spending $150/mo on Patreon and need to make some difficult cuts. I’m glad to be able to continue to support you.

What a pro fan thing to do! Brought me right back to pledge again

Thank you, Calm! You've always been a very generous person, from the advice you give to the very services you provide.

I can't say no to this kind of value! Some creators charge 20$ for a PSD. Very Generous of you!!
Matty Thunders
You're the man! You've always been my favorite creator and one who I feel is very much worth supporting.

Words can't express my gratitude for this generosity :D

Holy cow, that is incredibly generous of you! Thank you very much 😸

I'm glad you like the change!

Of course, we support the idea, especially now it is more relevant than ever, because many people are busted because of the pandemic.

Yeah! When I started this I wasn't even in my 30s. Just a young boy. It's crazy. I'll keep doing my best!
Calm
You're welcome! I'm glad you appreciate it! :)

I'd like things to be as simple as possible, so I'm basically retiring all tiers except the $3 tier. People who were in the retired tiers are grandfathered into them until they change to the $3 tier.
jeezzz 5 y. we r geting older :).. keep up good work. realy enjoy your work!
I was just getting bearings on my savings to see about getting a pack of your process videos! Even if it takes a little longer month to month- I'm so grateful and glad that you are offering this. Thank you!
Ron Sogers
Will the dollar tier still be a thing?
Calm
Hey, thanks! That's nice of you to do. :) And welcome!
Signed up and linked my friends so they could know and sign up too. Thank you for doing this. <3

Thank you, Dalith! I'll keep doing my best. :)

Yeah, the prices on Gumroad stay the same. The new price here on Patreon is meant to be a thank you to people here who have enough faith in me to pledge to support before they see exactly what they get. I wanna show my appreciation of that by giving you the best deal here, if that makes sense. :) And yes, there is no longer a tier that allows you to pick a past pack. I kinda want my Gumroad page to be the place for that from now on.
lasagnalarry
Are the prices on your Gumroad going to stay the same and is there not going to be a tier where you can choose one past illustration pack now?
Griffenskull
Well it sounds like I'll be having a new subscription next month!

5 years already?! Time flies fast for sure, I'm happy to see you taking a big decision like that, especially when its a very generous one! Keep on keeping up Calm, you are doing good :)
