Mini-Print tiers retiring after February
Added 2022-01-28 00:21:45 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
I have an update for you all. First, I want to thank you all SO much for your support thus far. I cannot believe how amazing you guys are to me. The mini-print tier has been a really great addition to my Patreon. I'm so glad so many folks could grab print versions of art that they like, and some even got to grow a mini-collection!
Unfortunately, it's a really hard reward to scale. The more supporters I get, the more packing has to be done. I'm incredibly grateful, but every month, it's gotten harder and harder to keep up with. Even when I reduce the cap on the tier, I struggle through the work.
I've decided to give it one more month (plus this one, I've yet to send out the message for print requests) to let everyone who's pledged to $15 or $20 grab their fave mini-prints before the tier retires. So right before March starts, I'll be removing the tiers from my Patreon.
But I have exciting news... To replace the $20 mini print tier, I'll be introducing a Requestable tier! Everyone pledged can give me monthly requests, and I'll choose one of your ideas to draw to completion! :D I'll have it limited to my OCs and favorite characters in the moment, so that I can be sure to deliver a fun and sexy piece every month, based on what one of you guys suggests. :3
The sticker club tier is staying put for now, since my roommate Hexanne helps me with so much of the packing on those - but I may use art that I've already designed more often in the future so that I can avoid falling behind on deliveries to you guys. The valentine's designs (January rewards) are still unfinished, but I'll try and have something to show for y'all before the end of the month! Catching up on all those missing packages did a number on me, haha.
I'm really excited for this pivot, because with the way my Patreon is structured, and my Etsy taking up so much of my time, I've become less of an artist and more of a small-business runner/merch-packer. I'm so excited to have time to draw more often, and I can't wait to share with you all what I make!! <3
