Changes to Patreon/Hand of the Queen Tier!

Hey everyone! I have an idea I've been wanting to share with everyone for a while that I haven't had the time to explore until this year. I had wanted to start in January but I decided to continue with my regular Patreon schedule instead of changing things this month because I committed myself to more than one project this month and I didn't have the time to start this new idea. For a long time now I have felt very frustrated with my art, like I've been stuck in a stage that isn't working for me anymore. I've been wanting to improve like crazy and I feel like I've finally come up with an idea that will help me take the next step towards improving my skills. 

I've decided that starting in February I want to start doing studies of my favorite films to improve my painting/rendering skills, as well as my color theory. In order to do this I'm going to be removing the illustration suggestion feature as a Hand of the Queen benefit because I do not think I will be able to put in the effort to create an original illustration each month while also attempting to improve with studies. I'll be keeping the NSFW suggestions for now,  because those illustrations are usually simpler and less time consuming for me to complete. If at some point in the future I feel like I can't continue taking NSFW suggestions I will make sure to announce that. This doesn't mean I won't be creating original illustrations ever again, I just want to put more energy into improving right now.

Everything else will remain the same, the only thing that will be different is that now instead of taking illustration suggestions and having polls for those suggestions, I am going to be making a poll with several different movies and allowing everyone to vote for which film they would like to see me do studies of. 

If this change is something that doesn't interest you, and you feel like you no longer want to pledge I totally understand and there are no hard feelings! This is just something I've wanted to explore for a long time and I feel like now is a good time for me to try it. If there are any questions regarding this change please feel free to message me or comment below!
