Patreon Update + Changes (starting next month)
🕑 Added 2021-10-19 05:57:24 +0000 UTCHi, everybody!
Most of this update is going to be about the changes happening to different tier levels. There will be other topics and updates touched on, but the majority of this will be about rewards/tier levels/etc.
First of all, starting next month there will only be two tiers: Bat Tier and Eldritch Tier.
Turtle Tier and Kenny's Klub will no longer be available. You are still welcome to pledge any amount if you want to support me, but you will no longer be getting Patreon rewards for it unless it's 5 USD or above.
Changes to Bat Tier:
+ Access to WIPs and Behind the Scenes content
Bat Tier will now be the lowest tier available to receive WIPs of comic pages/exclusives. However, this also now includes WIPs for all of my content. This means that you get to see progress shots of illustrations, sketchbook content, and other behind-the-scenes work for things I post to my public accounts (Twitter, Instagram, Furaffinity, etc.) If there is enough support and interest, this will include painting time-lapses in the future.
Polls
Polls will be a bit different. I will be using them solely as suggestions for Patreon-only content for the future.
- Monthly Patreon Exclusive Content
There will definitely still be exclusive content available at this level. However, monthly may not be necessarily guaranteed. I'll be putting out as much new exclusive content as I can manage, but I can't promise it'll be monthly.
Everything else will be more or less the same with Bat Tier. It will still be 5 USD, comic updates will still be available to view early as well as Patreon exclusive content available.
Changes to Eldritch Tier:
+ Commissions through Patreon Only
I will only be taking commission work through Patreon from here on out. If you would like to commission me, then you'll need to do so by being an Eldritch Tier patron. There will only ever be three slots for this tier available at a time.
- Commissions once every two months
Instead of being monthly, the reward for this tier will be for every two months you pledge to this tier (they do not need to be consecutive months.)
-Comic cameos
Comic cameos have been discarded as a reward.
Price Change
This one was very difficult to deliberate on, but the new price per month for the tier will be 30 USD. I will be dedicating more time and effort on these pieces as a result, and I hope you can agree with the price change.
These commission slots are now for an SFW or NSFW cell-shaded art piece. If you wish for something more complex such as a painted piece, I am always open to talking about that and working with you.
All of these changes have been made to help balance my workload and to condense everything in a more cohesive way. I appreciate your understanding and patience.
Future Content:
I will be finishing Money Shot 2 and releasing it publicly the same as I have in the months I've worked on it. However, updates will be delegated to only 2 pages a month until it is finished.
This is because I have been hired to work on two freelance comics as well.
The first, "Love Bites", I have shown as an exclusive in the past. I will also be posting 2 pages a month here which will also be earlier than its scheduled release date.
The second, an NSFW Pokemon Unite comic, will be posted publicly to e621. I will be asking permission to post it here too though the comic pages may not be available as early content.
The final chapter to Money Shot (poll winner) will also be in the works after Money Shot 2 is done. However, public updates for it will not begin until the comic is near completion.
Patreon Goals:
Rewards for reaching and maintaining certain goals will be added. These will include:
- 300 USD - Return of “Kenny’s Klub” tier. This tier will feature handwritten notes and a sticker OR doodle (Patron choice) every month
- 400 USD - Discord server with Patreon-only channels + more physical rewards for patrons (prints, keychains, pins, etc.)
- 500 USD - Patron-exclusive live streams in the Discord server
There will be more goals added as well in the future!
Thank you guys for reading this whole essay block of text. Seriously. It's a lot.
I really appreciate all of your support and understanding as we navigate these crazy times.
Stay amazing 💕!

I'm glad you were able to figure something out to create a better work/life balance. I agree - these all sound good. I'm already looking forward to the final chapter of Money Shot!
