Patreon Tier Tidying up + Update
🕑 Added 2021-01-02 22:08:02 +0000 UTCHey everyone - I've decided to revamp my Patreon a bit going forward, and I figure now's gonna be a better time than any to make some changes.
1) removing the $1 tier:
-But why?? So about a year ago, Patreon had sent creators an email saying something like "please consider removing your $1 tier and increasing it to $2 or $3!" I was like .. Huh? If someone wants to just donate a dollar to creators, what's the issue with that? Turns out there's a logic to it: because of the payment processing fees, creators get less than half of that one dollar, and if I remember their math correctly, we get closer to $0.30 or $0.40 after the transaction fee.
Thank you so much for donating to me at the $1 level, but it feels like I'm somehow cheating you out of a dollar rather than it being a cool place for a tip jar like originally intended. I'd rather offer something at my lowest tier (the $3 sketch tier) than have you 'waste' your money on me like that, when most of it is going to a payment processor anyway. I will phase out this tier on Monday January 4th, so if you'd like to leave, that's totally fine, and if you'd like to join one of the other tiers, I appreciate it! Thanks so much regardless!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) adding back comics:
This is something that's not gonna happen until I'm caught up with my comms (2.5 paintings left, one sketch to tidy up), but I do want to finish chapter 1 of Totally Not Gay before moving onto other works!
Comics will be making a return in 2-3 months, regardless! But I have to catch back up on the last remaining comms from my injury.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) more personal work and TDA (Time and Dimension Agency) content:
It's time for me to introduce more of my own characters, plus all the ones that belong to my bun's and my project - the TDA! So be on the lookout for more of that stuff too.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) more poll participation for images:
I'm not 100% sure how I'm gonna do this yet, but I'd like to give you guys, especially at the $10 level, even more ability to direct the content I make for Patreon. This whole thing is supposed to be a collaborative project with you guys and me to create some amazing content that otherwise I wouldn't even think of usually! So I'll try to think of a way to do that, but suggestions are always welcome.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) wrist progress:
My wrist has steadily been getting better since I stopped using it in October. It's still not normal yet, but it's closer to normal than it's been since the initial injury. Plus, I've figured out how to do basically 90% of what I was able to do with my main paw off-paw'd! Getting to finally see a doctor soon (has been more complicated than anticipated, but we got it now).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall, things are looking much brighter than last year, but there's still lots of work to do. I want to make this my best year yet, both personally and artistically, and that includes making this Patreon better!
Hang with me for the last bits of recovery, and we'll see where this future-ambidextrous horny woof can go mwahaha <3
