SAVANNA NEWS - IMPORTANT UPDATE

Hey y'all Squealy here. Hope y'all had a fun Halloween, because oh boy here comes all the Christmas music non-stop for like 2 months straight.

Ok so this is a very important update, so I am going to try to keep this as concise as I possibly can.

So as some of you may remember, early on after the opening of this Patreon, I moved back in with my parents after being away for nearly 2 years. It's been just over a year now, but I really want to move back out again. In order to do that though, I need the finances to even be able to consider that, as well as getting to a level of producing content consistently,.

So currently, with the help of my art manager Emmy, we have devised a plan so I can get the necessary finances to get a place and claim my independence. With that however, a couple of changes will need to happen in for the time being.

=ANIMATED CONTENT=

Currently, YCH (Your Character Here) animations will be taking a priority. I will be making a large collection of these and releasing them in batches. Patrons of all tiers will get early previews of these before they go live for public purchase.

As a result of course, this means that the regular animation polls will have to go on hold for a indefinite period of time. They shall hopefully return in the future once I am able to comfortabley situate myself and the backlog of created YCHs are cleared up.

=IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR SAVANNA RESIDENT PATRONS=

A new permanent addition is going to happen with the Savanna Resident Tier reward sketches. As before, you will still be able to get a Monochrome Sketch piece with 2 characters and a variant.

However, you now have the choice that if you opt to wait two months, you can get either:
A. A monochrome sketch piece with up to 4 characters and an alt.
B. A flat colour sketch piece with up to 3 characters and an alt.
C. A full cel shaded piece with up to 2 characters and an alt.

You will also swap the number of characters for the number of alts if you wish (e.g. Flat colour with 2 characters and 2 alts, Mono sketch with 2 characters and 3 alts, etc.)

With the choice of a 2 month wait, you basically grant me more time to focus on completing YCH animations, and so are rewarded with a higher quality/more expansive piece as thanks for your patience and accumulated tier support. Also if and when I can meet the goal of moving out, I will offer a 3 month reward with the option for Painterly Render commissions in a similar fashion.

In order to help try and maintain this level of consistency, I might start streaming the YCH content on a semi-regular basis. Once I can work out a proper schedule, it will be posted publicly.

Of course, I cannot reach this goal without your help. If you wish to help me to reach this goal faster, you can help by spreading the Patreon around to other people who may be interested, as well as just sharing around the YCHs when they become available. Any small amount of money you can contribute helps, but do not by any means donate more than you can afford. Take care of yourselves first.

I hope you will all understand my current ambition and these changes I need to make to get there. Your continued support is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
