Announcement - Tier Changes (Apologies for the sudden Post Spam)

Announcement

Hey all, it's been a while. That's my fault for such a huge absence on patreon.  I sincerely apologize for that. I felt the need to apologize for the sudden spam of post  and text. But I do hope to make up for it with tons of images instead.

With that said.

I will be using May & June to catch up on these owed pieces. (Sketch Raffles and Patron Cellshades.)

With the patreon being extremely serious on it's rules on raffles and the fact I myself, have not used the last few months to handle things properly. (regardless what was going on at home/personal matters.) Feel it's best that (raffles/cell-shades) should come to a complete halt.

What this means for patrons of the $15 and $60 tier. Is that Commission or Raffle related rewards will no longer be available. However in their stead I will be sure to turn patreon streams into one, maybe even multiple request streams. (Depending on my workload for the month looks like.)


-----------------------------

[[[[What will be removed]]]]

$60 Tier - No longer seeking to add more onto commission list. Will not be replaced/add back at this time.

----------------------------

[[[[What will be changed]]]]

$1 Tier -Thanks for supporting! (This tier is for simple donation sake. no actual rewards shall be given)

$5 Tier - Early Access to all (NSFW & SFW) content before images are uploaded. (Sketches, finished images before post date) + Full Resolution Images

$10 Tier - Early Access (nsfw & sfw) + Full Resolution Images + Suggestions + Alternative / Extra Versions of Full colored completed Images.  (Examples: Clean, Messy, before, after, "enlarged" and etc versions. You're free to even suggestion extra versions you'd like to see.)

$15 Tier -Early Access (nsfw & sfw) + Full Resolution Images + Suggestions + Alternative / Extra Versions + Art Books + Voting (Choose out of the sketches out of the month gets turned into a full picture)

----------------------------

[[[[What will remain the same]]]]

$150 Tier - Will remain untouched

----------------------------

[[[[What's been added]]]]

Patreon Streams will be sometimes turned into Request streams. (This does not mean there will always be a request stream each month. I would love to, but I do not have that kind of freedom yet to do so. In the future, when things are actually finished. I'd be happy to make Request streams more often just for you guys. Until then, my apologies.)

Updated the front page, to reflect this change. (orange text) The better the month goes, the more streams will be possible.

---------------------------

Q: What to do if you're currently in the $60 tier?
I would suggest lowering you're current tier before the end of the month. (There's already been posts for those within the $60.)

Q: What to do if the changes to the tiers or the tier you're in aren't to your liking?

You're completely free to remove your pledge. It's understandable. Any rewards that have yet to be delivered (Icon/CellShade/Sketch/Etc) will still be done as promised. I absolutely owe you that.

Q: What is the reasoning for removing CellShade/Raffle tier?
Raffle tier was removed due to it being considered a form of gambling. which patreon is 100% not okay with.

Alternatively, Raffle and Cellshades were both removed to life a burden off my shoulders. To make finishing up work I'm already doing easier. Commission tiers are still possible in the future. But I'll worry about trying those again once I've actually cleaned up my current plate and improved myself.

Till then, thank you for supporting me for as long as you have. I appreciate it immensely and I hope to make up for the lost time with more artwork and less apologies.

I'm not entirely sure how everyone will feel about the tiers being changed in this way and the removal of commission/sketch related tiers. But I hope at the very least you may understand that it would be best for my current workload and health.

Going to let this post sit for a few days while I try my best to get more work done along normal commissions.

Thanks for reading!
