Shiny new ACEOs, shiny new Patreon tiers!

It's here! I feel up to discovering another new normal*, with a revamped Patreon, all new tiers, and these little precious ACEOs! I actually squealed when I picked them up from the printer's yesterday. Seeing my art in miniature print always makes me weirdly giddy, it's just always spectacular.

My Patreon now has four tiers again, all easy to manage for me and filled to the brim with the stuff that's been most popular with you lovely guys in the past.

(And yes, I'm well aware of the silly little pun here: In German, "Tier" is the word for "animal".)

DORMOUSE TIER (1€)
This is the basic tip jar tier, which will let you see all my public and finished art a little earlier (hours to a day) than the rest of social media.

SQUIRREL TIER (3€)
You'll get to see sketches, works-in-progress, and videos not seen anywhere else
A 10% discount code for my Etsy shop
You'll get the chance to get a commission slot every time I offer them (several times a year, about two to three at a time, of characters I know)

JACKALOPE TIER (5€)
All of the previous, plus:
A 20% discount for my Etsy shop
monthly-ish downloads of lineart to colour, and/or wallpapers and digital textures to use in creative projects.
A free (random) ACEO print card with every Etsy order! Please write "ACEO" in the comment box when you check out on Etsy to help me keep track. :)
Vote on art I'll do monthly-ish! (Suggested by the next tier)

FOREST GUARDIAN TIER (10€)
All of the previous, plus:
A welcome pack containing 5 ACEO cards, stickers, and a thank you card from me after you first join (sometime into your second or third month of Patronage).
Suggest art! Your suggestions will be voted on in the "Jackalope" tier to see what I'll sketch or maybe paint each month. (You have voting rights too, of course).
Two ACEOs with every Etsy order you place, AND you get to request motifs (while stocks last).

Anything unclear? Let me know! =)

If you want to change your tier and aren't sure how, this has got you covered! It's also got info on how to increase the amount you're pledging without changing your tier, which has been done by quite a lot of you gorgeous people in the past.

The old tiers are no longer in use! For those of you still on the "Union of Maedhros", "Into the Forest" or "Into the Skies" tiers, to get the most of your patronage, please switch to a new tier (as mentioned above, you can still pledge a higher amount if you want to continue doing that). That way, I'll have your addresses for welcome goodies on the Forest Guardian tier, and you'll automatically be included for the art suggestion and voting polls each month if you qualify, as well as open commission slot notifications on the Squirrel tier. <3
I will not delete those old tiers as there are still people on them (and I can't thank you enough for that), but please help me make things easy by pledging to the current tier you want to be on. You can still be on an old tier, but you won't be getting much of the benefits from it.

*The eye update that made me do all these things, for those of you who've been following my weird medical journey and would like to be in the know:
The new blind spots that happened in November are permanent, although I'd been hopeful at the time they'd disappear. BUT with blood pressure medication, there have been zero new events in half a year, when before, it was new blind spots every three weeks. So while the damage I'm having to work against is annoying as heck, I'm cautiously optimistic that we've banned the root cause and I can adjust to a new normal. Maaaaybe in time, I'll even break out some watercolours again, the way I was able to in 2019, but we'll see. At least my mindset is no longer "I'll be blind in ten years," which it has often been during the last two years. I'll be holding out hope this status quo will stay for a while. Because I deserve some luck, so. ;)

Thank you all SO MUCH for sticking with me through all this crap. <3
