MEMBERSHIP UPDATES COMING NEXT MONTH (READ BELOW)

2 Years ago I opened this Patreon with the promise to start a series with Flower. And while the wait was kind of long, we finally got the pilot. Now it's time for the real ambition to come.

I know the pilot isn't perfect, and there's always room for improvement, but one of the goals with this pilot was to show everyone what I'm capable of, and that this series has a lot of potential, and I think everyone, even the critics, can agree on that.

Before I explain the changes to the memberships, let me first explain why the changes are happening. As of right now, this Patreon mostly contributes to my monthly rent, car insurance, and groceries (which take up more than half of the monthly revenue from this patreon).

For full transparency, I'll break it down:

Rent & Utility = roughly $850/month
Car insurance = roughly $170/month
Food and groceries = roughly $270/month

Altogether that is about $1,290/month

That's almost 70% of the total Patreon income. And while I understand a lot of you may not see this as an issue because you want to support me as an artist (thank you btw!), that's not how I want the majority of the money to be used. I want to generate as much revenue as possible from the Patreon so I can maximize the budget for the series, and hopefully not have to continue working alone on it.

So here's what will be changing soon (starting next month)

SWEET TIER ($2 TIER) WILL BE RAISED TO $3
I have never done a price increase on my Patreon before because I don't like the idea of doing that, but something that people may not realize is Patreon takes a cut of all pledges, so I'm really only getting about $1.60 as it currently is with this tier.

2 NEW TIERS COMING
The Cameo tier, and the Spotlight tier!

The Cameo tier will be a $25/month membership, where if you pledge for longer than 6 months, your OC (weather it's a pony or furry character) will be fully implemented into one of the scenes of Flower's Journey Episode 2 as a background character!

The Spotlight tier will be a $75/month tier, where if you pledge for longer than 6 months, your OC (weather it's a pony or furry character) will not only have a cameo as a background character, but your character will get their very own shot for the AI OR DIE intro title sequence, which will be accompanied by a shutout to your name!

PREMIUM TIER ($10 TIER) CHANGES

For a short period of time I did art rewards, those are going away for now (I know I'm sorry!) since drawing peoples characters fully shaded and all that can take quite some time.

More epic goon bait coming! I love it, you love it, and the people who say they don't love it also love it! But this time instead of doing blender images of it, I will draw most of it! (Starting this month btw)

WORK IN PROGRESS CONTENT

To be fully honest with you, when I started this Patreon I promised to post exclusive WIPS, and I did, but only on occasions. This was mainly because I was concerned about spoiling too much, and also the fact that a lot of scenes get changed or deleted. From this point forward, I will post more exclusive WIPS of my animations, but I will show only minimal things that don't reveal too much about the story, that way when episode 2 releases you can still go into it blind!
