PLEASE READ! Patreon Restructure Notes

Hi everyone! I got a lot of feedback from Patrons regarding my new restructuring and I think I have the set details for it. Please read below for it! I want to roll it out in September if possible.
I'm trying to be as transparent as possible but if anything doesn't make sense, please feel free to send me a DM!

Tip Tier
-No changes!

Small Tier
-No changes!
-Receives WIPs

Large Tier
-$35/month.
-1 Black/white lineart drawing a month of 1 character thigh-up
-2 Slots

VIP Tier
-$125/month
-1 full colored illustration of 1 character thigh-up per TWO months (Bimonthly).
-Can include variants if requested.
-Can request other options (Comics, character sheet, etc). I'm very flexible and lenient about this slot so don't be afraid to ask me for options you'd like!
-8 Slots
-Reasoning
   +VIP is definitely the most changed so let me explain why for the decisions.
   +I got feedback from patrons that the proposed change of $200/month was too expensive for their budget. However, reducing it to $125-$150 was okay for them. So, to accommodate this, we came to the idea that making it bimonthly and reducing the price to $125 a month was better. It is also good for me because it means I get more time to draw the pieces and therefore helps with my work load and work/life balance!
   +The reasoning for increasing it to $125 rather than just split to $100 is because it is now Bimonthly, it means it takes longer (2 months) for me to get the amount of money originally proposed ($200). And I have to hit a certain amount of money per month for bills, so the +$25 will help me hit that amount while still keeping the amount less than $200 for people's budgets,

VVIP tier
-$350/month
-1 full colored illustration of 2 characters thigh-up per month.
-Can include variants if requested.
-1 Slot

Master Tier
-$300/month
-1 full rendered and colored illustration of 1 character thigh-up per month.
-Can add another character by making it bimonthly with the patron's discretion.
-Can include variants if requested.
-1 to 2 slots (depending on Patron response, still pending)

Divine Tier
-Deleted

How Reserving Slots and Priority Works
-Patrons in any Reward based Tier will always have priority over non-Reward based Tier (Small, Tip) and New Patrons.
-Patrons with higher support time will be prioritized.
     +Example: Two Patrons both want a slot. One Patron has supported for 12 months, the other has supported for 6 months. 12 Months supporter will be prioritized.
-If both Patrons have the same time, $ amount supported will be next prioritized.
-If both Patrons somehow have same time and $, it will be picked randomly!
-This is all to try to make it as fair as possible!! I want to try to accommodate everyone, but there are so many slots >< I apologize for any inconvenience.
-On the day of restructuring, I will kick everyone from the Reward tiers and close all Slots. I will then talk to people who have reserved slots and figure out a dedicated time. Both me and the reserved Patron have to be online at the same time. Then I will open ONE slot for the reserved Patron and the Patron will take the slot immediately to prevent others from sniping it.

Conclusion
As said in my previous notice, this is all to facilitate a better balance for me and my mental health along with still retaining quality detailed art for my Patrons. I love what I do and if not for you guys, I wouldn't be able to be where I am now.
I'm so lucky to be able to call myself a full time artist, and I hope I can continue to do so!!

I will give this a few days and then release another post stating that Reserving slots are available.
When they become available, simply send me a DM of what slot you want and I will write you down.
I can't guarantee everyone's slot depending on how it plays out, but I will do my darnest Q_Q

Please let me know any of your thoughts in my DM's as well! I want to stay transparent rather than just nuking everything >O<

Thank you for reading!!!!
