Changes to rewards will be made soon.

I'll try to be quick. Long story short, things have gotten way too busy for me to keep up with all the rewards for an extended period of time. I've been working a full-time job since February, but thought I'd see how things went and keep tiers as they were for as long as I could. This job means that I can only draw during evenings, which leaves me only 3 hours to work on stuff which isn't a lot of time to get things done. Especially with multiple things to work on. Wednesdays, and every other Tuesday and Friday has something going on in the evening, so those are shot. Saturdays are the only days where I can really get a lot of work done, which would probably be okay, but my job requires me to work weekends sometimes. If I'm scheduled for a Saturday, that means I can't use it as an art day.
In short, I just don't have enough time to get the number of monthly rewards I need to get done on time anymore. All my art time is being spent on the rewards, so I can't devote time to exclusives as much, commission work has been suffering, and personal art is basically gone at this point. Worrying about getting everything completed has been stressing me out, and there have been times when I've had mini panic attacks when trying to work on art.
I just can't keep doing this and dealing with that.
So, sadly, I'm going to have to remove the $25 tier. I think I can keep doing the sketch rewards if I limit them to around 5 or so, but lining and coloring takes significantly longer than the sketches. Will probably remove it after about a week to give those in that tier a chance to cancel or change tiers. I wish I could keep the $25 tier available, especially since there are some people who just signed up for that. But it's just not mentally or temporally feasible at this point. I'm going to try my best to get the current rewards done on time. Some might end up a little late, but I'll try not to have it come to that.
I apologize again that it has to come to this, but it's what's best for me at the time. Maybe some day I can go back to that tier.
Will edit the $15 tier to include some of the $25 benefits. Kind of fusing them together or something.
