A Grand Opening!

Hello internetland!

Those of you in my Patreon chat on Telegram have been able to keep up with the updates in my life and art over the past half year, but it's been awhile since I've made a real post on this page itself. I have been busy... and I'm now ready to make some big changes here.

In the past month or so was a lot of time dedicated to analyzing and researching and testing out ideas for taking my Previous Pathetic Patreon Plan™ and rebuild it all from scratch. As of today, 01 March 2019, I am happy to officially launch my new and very much improved Perfect* Patreon Page™!

(*Makes no guarantees of perfectionism)

It's been a long time coming and desperately needed. Thank you to anyone who stood by me for their patience and support despite my inactivity and lack of direction. For those who may not be aware yet, I decided to finally leave my retail job of 9 years last month to pursue the idea of being a full-time artist, for REAL, for the very first time.

Which is as terrifying as it is exciting.

I caught up with nearly all of my old art queue throughout the past month, experimented with more frequent live streaming again, and even managed to create a new toony gryphon mask that will become the first project I will unveil under my new branding as Mythimorph Studios! I proved to myself that doing art for a living is in fact possible and all I needed was to get myself into the right situation. This means not only do I finally have the opportunity in both time and energy to properly run a Patreon (ie. creating a steady stream of new content, which was the downfall of the previous setup) but that I will also have to partially rely on it as an important part of my monthly income, so it's necessary that I approach this from a smarter place this time and do things right! ...Or at least give it my very best shot.

Big thanks to several people for assisting me with ideas and critique on how to get a better handle on my Patreon, namely patron SoraGryphon and creator Matthew Ebel. Now I just hope to not let you all down!

Take a look at some of the changes; there are QUITE a lot of them including all new tiers, goals, and rewards. I will also be reviewing and explaining each tier's rewards in more detail through subsequent posts. EDIT: Detailed Patreon Tier Info is now up! [LINK]

Also important to note for those of you on the old $25 and $50 tiers: Patreon prevents me from adjusting the prices of existing tiers. This means you will not get access to future posts and will need to select a new reward/tier. As I know I am springing this on you suddenly, I am offering to personally refund you the difference in price of switching to the new corresponding tier if the charge goes through before you can switch. Otherwise you can chose to leave your extra contribution as a much-appreciated tip to help send me off into the new career. The old tiers will be officially deleted at the end of the month or when all the patrons in those tiers have switched, whichever comes first.

Once again thank you guys for all your help and interest in my artistic endeavors! Things are finally happening! I can't wait to create and share all the new ideas I have for this year's projects.

Stay awesome!
