Important Update: Patreon Changes
Added 2016-01-29 11:47:29 +0000 UTCHello you lovely folks, you! :3 I have a rather important update for all of you, so if you could, please give this a read.
To start off though, I want to say that the patreon rewards for January for those who told me what they wanted are (obviously) late, and that's primarily because of the work I'm doing in school. I have projects, side projects, places I need to attend, and internships to work toward, so this year's been a really busy one thus far. So much so that I don't have much time to myself anymore, and in extension, not much time to actually work on anything but school stuff. :/ Hopefully it'll tone down but it's not looking like that, which brings me to my next update:
I will be editing my patreon rewards and pledges to be much more simple and lower. This is primarily because school work is making it difficult to work on anything but graded stuff, but it's also partly because of two different reasons:
1. You've all been very forgiving toward me but let's be honest, I'm usually late when it comes to dishing out rewards. It's a little hard to keep up with at the moment but I don't want to keep anyone hanging in that regard.
2. Every time I update asking for folks to tell me what they for their respective award, I don't get a reply from some folks here. I know it's probably by choice, and I honestly appreciate that, but it still makes me a bit fidgety in whether or not I'm doing something wrong, especially when you're pledging something that says you'll be rewarded by I'm not told what I should draw for that particular person's reward.
It's because of these reasons that I've decided that it'll be better in the longterm to just edit my patreon to be very simplistic in terms of what's available to pledge and what those pledges offer as reward.
The new tier system will look like this:
$1 a month:
-Early Access to art and WIPs
-Name added in Special Thanks
$5 A month:
-Early Access
-Special Thanks
-Voting Rights in polls
-Ability to submit yourself in a random drawing for free/discounted stuff (commissions, prints, buttons)
There's also the option to donate however much you want, but that will be up to you guys.
This update will be in effect by next Friday, a day before Patreon charges your cards, so if you want to change your pledge now PLEASE DO SO. And if you want to keep your current pledge despite the change, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE OR COMMENT HERE TELLING ME THAT. Otherwise I will delete your pledge to me so your card won't be charged for a pledge that no longer exists. This also means that there will be no rewards given for February since it's the start of the new pledge.
I really, really appreciate the support and patience you've all given me thus far, and I hope you stick with me despite the change. If not though, thank you so much for supporting me monetarily to this point, and I hope you continue to like my work regardless! C:

I'm afraid it does. I don't want to ask too much of anyone so the only tiers that will be available from next Friday and on will be the ones seen above, but patrons have the choice to pledge as much as they would like. C:

2016-01-29 18:14:20 +0000 UTCI forgot, and I think this is the first message I've gotten from this Patreon since I signed up a while back! I see that you have those tiers, and does this abolish the 10/20/etc tiers? I want to keep my pledge intact regardless, but I wanted clarification. :)
