Hey yall! So, as some of you know I've been having a rough couple of weeks balancing school and my art. After some deep brainstorming and coming to terms with things I know I can't handle. I've opted to remove PWYW streams from my patreon.

I know you guys love the streams, and I do too! But since my schooling has been moved to online I thought I'd have more free time to do art, but that was completely not the case. Without a set schedule I'm left with spending my days trying to study and juggle art out for yall, and its taking a toll.

I've been avoiding this confrontation with myself about this because ultimately this is my only source of income as far as employment goes, and it doesn't help that my financial situation is as tight as it is. Despite this set back I've written out a template that I think would be affordable for yall as patrons, as well as helpful and less stressful for me as an artist. Here is a screenshot of what I have so far.

I've tweaked the prices a bit, making the highest tier 1 dollar cheaper while the others 1 dollar more. I like this 3,6,9 template because the benefits are more affordable as a patron. Commissions will still be had, though patreon commissions will be done first.

I will make certain commissions patreon only (The ref sheets, full body shaded, telegram stickers) while the rest is public (sketches, chibis, flat colors, half bodies) I will also give the option to turn your commission into a speedpaint for a certain amount more (I'm thinking $15?)

These discounts will also carry over to the public so if you wanted a smaller commission you will still get a discount if you are a book club or coffee date patron.

I do have more goals in mind like downloadable bases/icons and the like, though that is a problem for future me xD. I think this template is pretty fair, but I want you guy's opinions on it! Also, I'll figure out how to give refunds if I change the tier prices, its still something I'm looking into, but I plan on putting this into effect next month.
