I would have continued expanding the Patreon, adding more stuff, even i was working in the comic, maybe i got a little misunderstanding in the last post that the income from Patreon wasn't enough, yes it was enough 1 year ago xD, that's why i set a 800 usd goal, with that it would be nice, but after the last year, and how the covid, and the Ukraine conflict affect so much the global economy, now in my country everything doubled the price xD, but even with that, i would have continued here in Patreon as usual, i never got bother if my growth was slow, it could take years and years, i have never see it as a problem, but now is different, i feel that i m in a race against something that i can't compete anymore, that sooner or later it will affect me.
I would have continued but everything changed with the AI factor haha, i m thinking that maybe i won't grow anymore in the future, the people will lose interest and find this new technology a better trade, so why even dedicate so much time in a thing that in time will lose their value, (and now my new job that requires much more time that i expected xD), i ll just take Patreon as a little income and i ll keep doing the stuff i mention in the image :P i hope this is the last time i mention something about me or AI sry about all these months and the spam about it xD.
So the new badger tier will contain the suggestions and some alts from bear, process videos and psd, 3 illustrations from the poll that contains those alts, and a 4th one that will not have the alts without clothing (this one is a character that comes from me, not the polls but maybe there will be months that i ll pick them from the less popular characters in the polls) If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask :). Maybe in the future if the situation gets better i ll add again the old and new rewards, and the commissions too, but for now is impossible.
You can change the tier now, i configured it, so you can see all previous post from bear and llama in the badger tier too. Thank you again for all your support and messages :3, it has been a wonderful journey :3 and i hope i can dedicate to it full time someday again :´3, truly these were my best years of my life i owe you everything <3.
