Supporter Newsletter: New features, Tier Reestructure and Commission Prices
🕑 Added 2023-05-04 01:58:45 +0000 UTCHello! Welcome to the Supporter Newsletter, a little personal blog of mine where I go over some stuff that I've been up to and some general updates.
It's been a while since I did one of these, but as mentioned previously they will still be my way of communicating updates and other important stuff!
Which brings me to the first subject of this Newsletter
which is...
Introducing: Timelapses!
That's right at long last, it's here.
This idea has been cooking for a bit and I have been recording most of my projects since last year, using CSPs Timelapse function, and now I have a lot of raw videos for them, all I needed was to work out a few other details and find a good and reliable editing software, and these have been done.
I am currently using Kdenlive, which is free and open source, and it works great. I definitely recommend if you're also on the lookout for Premier/Vegas alternatives (broke gang rise up! lol)
I'm rendering some of them as I write this (and hoping my PC doesn't explode along the way lol), and will start posting them soon for the Scarlet Devil tier.
I also plan to make some of these timelapses available for everyone publicly as well every now and then, but in a shorter/simpler format.
With that outta the way, I'll now address what you read in the title of this post: the tiers.
Tier Reestructure
As you may guess, with the inclusion of Timelapses, I figured now would be a good time to move some stuff around and down to the other tiers in cascade, to offer a better value to them. Such changes are:
►Tip Jar
New feature:
- Exclusive SFW and NSFW Sketches
TJ will now get Supporter Exclusive SFW and NSFW Sketches, truthfully they kinda already do since I don't post my sketches publicly much, but now it's official. That being said, I'll start releasing some sketches to public to fill in the gaps between my works...
(...Because God only knows how long some of those can be... haha... ha... I seriously need to change that).
... but some of them will remain as exclusives as well.
►Red Magic
Added feature(s):
- Early access
- Exclusive SFW-R15 works.
Similarly to TJ, they kinda already have early access, but now it's official. This feature was previously on the Meister tier but wasn't really being used, so now it will be, one tier below. Early access usually varies from work to work, but the minimum amount is 2 days. Some may take longer and some may never be made public at all... ahem, what I mean by this is that this tier will also get Exclusive SFW-R15 works from now on. I plan on doing at least one exclusive every month, and I mean it this time.
►Scarlet Meister
Added feature(s):
- Ask me Anything
- Art Suggestion Box
- Step-By-Step (formerly known as "Behind The Scenes")
New feature:
- Exclusive R16-R18/NSFW works
AMAs will be moving down to this tier and the rules remain the same: I'll be answering the 5 (that I deem the) best questions in the form of little doodles. The Art Suggestions Box and the Step-By-Step features will also be moved down here. I'll implement the changes soon and so if you're on this tier, you'll be able to see the posts related to those features soon. Also similarly to the RM tier, this one will get exclusive works monthly.
Also the name I renamed BTS to Step-By-Step is simply because Timelapses also count as BTS so the former name will now be used as an umbrella term for all kinds of BTS stuff I make, such as WIP updates, Discussions, Step-By-Step and Timelapses.
►Scarlet Devil
New feature(s):
- Timelapses
- Free sketch (first time-only, but may reset once every couple months)
Added full Timelapse videos and will now also include a free sketch, these two should make up for the "loss" of exclusivity of the Step-by-step and Art Suggestions. I also have some plans to bring back PSDs of my works, for this tier. This requires some setting up and prepping though, so when it's ready I'll let you know!
All of these new and old features will exist ALONGSIDE the features the tiers previously had. They will take place within 48h max of posting this.
Commission Prices Readjustment
Moving right along, I also have some updates regarding my commission prices.
I attempted to raise my prices a little while ago, but as it turns out, they might be a bit too much now.
Therefore I've decided to lower some of them and/or revert them to their previous prices, at least for now.
After all I'd rather get more cheaper commissions than get none at all haha...
And to that extent, I also plan to host more sales, art raffles and request events in the future.
The new prices will be announced next time I open Commissions, which will be VERY soon.
Well, that was all for this Newsletter, thank you very much for reading this! If you have any tips, ideas or suggestions you wanna throw at me, feel free to send a comment down below or send me a DM!
And as always, thank you very much for all your support and patience! ❤︎
