Patreon Revamp! Restructured tiers! Important Info!

Hey everybody! If you've been around my Patreon for any length of time, you probably noticed it was in SORE need of a little TLC! I've mentioned here before that the past few years have been a real quagmire for me in terms of mental burnout and work overload. But I'm happy to report that it feels like I've finally found my way out of the swamp and back to a healthy work-life balance.  One upside of an otherwise abysmal pandemic was that I had a lot of time to focus on my health, and my workload. Now I'm in a far better place to manage a Patreon presence in harmony with my daily work! 

If you'd like to take a look at my front page, I've done a little housecleaning! Restructured tiers, a new header, and a new bio! 

Let's talk about the new tiers! 

💥💥 I made the difficult decision to discontinue the $1 tier. Patreon's platform, processing, and transaction fees take big chunks out of each dollar, making it unsustainable as its own tier. If you pledge to this level, I want to thank you so much for your support over the months and years! Do not feel obligated to change your pledge or continue your support if this is all you were comfortable giving! 

✨The Roundup [ $3 ] 

• This is the best option for a patron with a budget! I'll collect a little bit of everything I've been working on and what I've been doing in a twice-monthly writeup. You'll have access to news and announcements before the general public, and be able to participate in polls and discussions. Everything I post to this tier will be SFW. 

✨The Comics Enthusiast [ $5 ] 

• This tier will primarily focus on my SFW comics, like SAKANA, and other unannounced projects I am currently working on. SAKANA is currently on hiatus, but I am planning to relaunch in early 2022! I'll be posting all my pre-work and early pages (when they start happening) to this tier, so stay tuned! For the time being, I'll be filling this tier with illustration process work, art tips, and sneak peeks at the graphic novel I'm currently drawing. This tier will also have access to the Roundup writeups, news, polls, and the like!

🔞The SPICY ALIEN ZONE [ $7 ]

• After ruminating on the idea for several years, I've gone ahead and FINALLY made a NSFW tier. ROBBER/ROBERT turned out to be a very significant project for me, and I plan to continue making more content and comics for this series! I'll be posting early sketches, art, and comic work here before they're available to the general public, as well as some Patreon-exclusive content. This tier will also have access to all the stuff from the other tiers, so there will be lots of posts to keep you occupied! You must be 18 or older to pledge to this tier!! 

And that's about it for the revamp right now! If you have any questions or concerns, please shoot me a message! I'll be posting some content to each tier this week before I head off to my VERY FIRST CONVENTION SINCE THE PANDEMIC STARTED?? I'm a little scared! :'V 

Thanks again to everyone who has supported my work over the years! I'm still ironing out a few bumps, but I'm excited to start posting again and show you what I've been up to!
