Upcoming Patreon Changes!
Added 2024-04-02 09:25:25 +0000 UTCAs discussed a while back, there will be some changes made to my Patreon sometime before I enter my yearly June/July break.
The following changes will be made:
General Patreon Changes
The current $3 Bronze Paw (tip jar) tier will be removed.
All tiers will be moved down by 1 to accommodate for the change (i.e. Silver becomes Bronze, Gold > Silver, Diamond > Gold). Perks will remain the same, despite the tier name changes.
Commission discounts will be changed.
$5 tier > 5% discount
$10 tier > 10% discount
$15 tier > 15% discount
A shaded icon will no longer be provided for the winner of the monthly fanart polls. Instead, the second place winner will receive a colored, full-body piece/pinup. This means that everyone will get to see at least TWO guaranteed fanart pieces each month!
Art and visual assets like the banner and descriptions/text will be updated.
Tier Reward Changes
With this update, there will now be a total of 3 main tiers to choose from. Most of these changes is mostly reorganization because I do feel like some tiers are pretty stacked with rewards/perks, while others are lacking and there really is no incentive to pledge to those.
I've also took into consideration of adding some more rewards/perks like F2U (free-to use) bases, guaranteed art tiers, and the ability to commission me anytime... but I'm a bit concerned that I already have a lot on my plate, though we'll see.
$5 Tier
Fursuit content moved to the $10 tier.
$5 patrons who currently have the Discord role and access to the fursuit channel will remain to have access until they are no longer subscribed. However, new patrons will be required to join the $10 tier to see fursuit content when this update is live.
$10 Tier
Access to fursuit content.
Access to Patreon-exclusive YCHs
Unlike single slot YCHs where the YCH goes public after 24 hours if it isn't auto-bought (AB'd), I've decided that these will be multi-slot and exclusive to patrons only!
Can suggest up to 2 characters each month for the monthly fanart poll.
$15 Tier
Can suggest specific alternative versions to be seen for the monthly fanart once the winner of the poll is announced.
Tutorials removed
I’ve admittedly been lacking on this and I think it’s just best I remove this perk entirely. I'll still do my best to do provide any sort of studies I do, and of course, folks are still more than welcome to ask me for help/tips!
$30 Tier
No changes. This will still remain as a tier for those who want to tip a little extra.
Along with these changes, the closer we get towards my break, the more I’ll likely I'll finally get back to resuming fursuit content, as look into streaming art and having everything all set up and the assets ready. I sincerely apologize again to any who have been waiting on either of those. The same can be said for YCHs and merchandise.
I also plan to clean up the Discord server a bit and bring back reaction roles, and make it so that you have more control on the kind of channels/content you want to see and don't want to see!
Please keep in mind that these changes are still a WIP (work in progress), and anything is subject to be changed, added, or removed. That said, any sort of feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you all so much!
Comments
I'm glad to hear it! I really tried to simplify everything like you've said, but also trying not to add anything that required me to do more work for others, cause as I've said before, I really haven't had much time to do art for myself, fanart, merch, and miscellaneous stuff. With these changes and being a bit more strict with Patreon rewards moving onward, maybe I'll finally have time to do other things for once.
