Two important things
Added 2017-12-11 16:26:51 +0000 UTC1) About Patreon fees update:
You may have read the information that Patreon sent out recently about the upcoming changes in the fee process, right? If not, I feel like I still should let you guys know:
To make it brief, Patreon decided to charge per pledge +$0.35 plus 2.9%.
That means, that Patrons here pledging for $2 USD, now end up paying $2.41. A considerable raise.
Patrons pledging $5 USD, now end up paying $5.50
And the ones pledging $15, pay $15.79.
More or less.
These changes will be applied from December 18 onwards, unless Patreon listens to all the people complaining to them online and decide to go back on their word, hopefully. I hope they listen : ( I understand if some people need to remove or change their pledge here, specially you guys who support a lot of artists like me. I still thank you for your constant support here.
2) About my recent PC failure.
This is stressful for me; less than a month ago I bought a new desktop PC, the one I use to work and draw (since the old one was from 2011 so I needed an upgrade). And today, after a sudden restart, it decided to not work anymore. After asking around and doing some googlin' I found out it probably has to do with the motherboard or BIOS corruption. So I'll need to take it to the seller/tech support to hopefully make use of the warranty. Wish me luck. I'm sure it may take days, even weeks : (
This means it'll be a bit difficult for me to stay on schedule with some drawings and commissions I need to do. I have a spare tablet which I can use to draw for the moment, so I'll have to make use of that in the mean time to continue drawing...
Thanks a lot for reading : )

1) Patreon <i>dares</i> ruin my perfectly even dollar amount? This calls for...additional change...not unlike the kind they are charging. 2) You take the whatever time you need for that; you know this by now, but I am quite the patient person. I do hope it works out, though, and you get your PC up and running again at peak condition.

2017-12-12 04:37:21 +0000 UTCNo pressure from my side. Patreon is digging their own grave, they survived because they were the good guys (not anymore because they make it very difficult for creators who feature NSFW... because paypal has put its food down & Patreon is too contempt with the situation in order to get their own payment system running)( This little thing about the fees, costs karma too) and are the biggest service (the You Tube effect).

2017-12-11 21:31:29 +0000 UTCAs someone who has just begun to pledge neither of these updates bother me in the slightest. Spent the better part of a Saturday afternoon going through all your old posts and was quite happy reading all the various view points and concerns you've had since you started Patreon. Looking forward to future works. Don't stress the PC stuff too much, shit happens. Wishing you the best luck.

2017-12-11 17:12:32 +0000 UTCOn the bright side after computer is fixed videos maybe?!? Also don't have to worry about me giving up my precious 1 of 25, 15$ spot I love the sketch reward x)
