Updates (mainly targeting the patreon)

Hello there!

As alluded to in last months update, I've moved back in with my family and I'm now in a position where I can get back to speed on the SFM side of things. I am a lot more time limited due to job hunting and the presence of family members but I was able to get at least one new render put on the publishing queue. 

I wanted to take a moment to announce I'm making some adjustments to how the patreon works, and those are as follows:

New Legacy and $5 tier perk: commission discounts:

this is a big one and will probably need some adjusting in the future (such as a 10% discount after a certain cost), but here's how it'll work for now: if you're a legacy patron or been a $5 patron for at least a month and paid your patronage, $5 will be deducted from your charge if you commission me in the future. Just make me aware you're a patron eligible for this when I get around to payment and I'll check to verify. This is much easier to do if the email you're using for the invoice and the email for your patreon account match, but if you have two different emails for whatever reason then please let me know which one is associated with your account here.

That being said, this discount will not apply for commissions where I may apply a charge due to it being extremely complex or contains certain types of fetishes that, whilst I still may work on, aren't entirely something in my comfort zone.

Since I'm talking about commissions, I will probably open them up soon! Patrons will get a bit of a headstart to test this policy out.

New patron perk: alts

This is another big change and definitely an area where I feel like feedback would be appreciated. I've always included alt renders and edits for free, but due to my current situation - mainly on the technical side since doing 3 different versions of the same images takes up more space than you'd think -  I am going to have to start moving away from that. Once again I don't have a definitive plan here, but here's where my current thoughts are on what would fall under this:

-If I do a render with a character clothed and then an alt of the character naked, the naked alt would be exclusive to patrons

-Dialogue free edits will be exclusive to patrons. I did consider the inverse but some of those dialogues are key for context

-Obviously, edits that involve nutt or anything of the sort would also be patron-exclusive

-I am contemplating whether or not this should apply to time-limited artist events such as cocojam, where I did upload a render which had a naked alt that would fall in line with this new policy if it were uploaded now instead.

-Alts don't necessarily have to be basic alterations and could extend to full-on patron exclusive art. If I do two renders with a similar theme and universe, I may put one of them on here. For example, if I were to do renders of Raymond and Ankha from animal crossing, Ankha may be patron-exclusive or vice versa. Feedback would be appreciated on this!

This is a change that I feel like may result in abuse. I have noticed a spike in people joining the patreon for a dollar, checking out what I uploaded, and then leaving in the same day long before they would get charged. Charge upfront is poorly implemented and I'd rather have it off, but if I see an upward trend following these changes I may enable it.
