(NEW EDITS)Spring Updates + New Ideas!

QUICK EDIT 3/28:
I forgot to add that I will be going through with the new tier system that got delayed here on Patreon, and it will match/integrate with Discord as well ^^
Twitch subs will also have a relative equal to this system, ie: if someone is subbed on Twitch for $10, they too will receive access to nsfw content on the discord.
The only tier I won't be publishing for now is the $20 sketch tier I talked about, as I still have a lot on my plate for now and I want to think longer on whether this is a good option <3
As stated in past updates: IF you are currently subbed and stay subbed, you will not lose access to any content and you will be considered a "Legacy" patron for however long you stay subbed to that tier. But keep in mind, these benefits will lapse if you have to unsub that's all!

After some more thinking, the discord WILL be public, however all public members will only have access to general announcements, my info, and public art feed. All other chats and community content are locked behind a minimum $2 sub here on Patreon OR Ko-fi OR a Tier 1 Twitch sub. This is to help foster a non-toxic environment and ensure that the people who are there, are truly there to support, and enjoy the community + content 🥰

I'll add the proper roles/update which tiers are published as soon as the discord is ready for release! It's almost there- just need to fill in info/make things pretty :D

Hello beans!! I hope everyone has been doing well 🥰

SKIP TO SECTION BELOW FOR NON-LIFE UPDATES

Despite my body having some weird issues recently, I've been enjoying the warmer weather today. Feels like spring! Just started cleaning up the pool and I'm so excited to be getting more fresh air again ;u;

I just wanted to write a quick update that.. it seems like business has been turning up for me! The job applications I sent out didn't bring back but.. one interview response. And considering the fact that my last two commission openings have been overflowing, leading to me raising my prices 2-3 times in the past few months... I've taken this all as a sign that, maybe I should just keep giving my business time.

In the last week or so, I did my first taxes as a self-employed individual and that was a little disheartening, but after reworking my budget sheet and giving some time towards financial planning/estimating.. Im willing to give this my all in the hopes that it can truly take me to where I want to be. Which isn't much (I just want to live comfortably, have enough for bills, and be able to pay for the occasional thing I want to do xD) but to have my art be a full-fledged, stable income someday is the dream come true. ❤

Also a pleasant surprise: I discovered that my health insurance is still active until my birthday at least, so I'm just taking care of a lot of the appointments I need now instead of later. As for medications, I just got a new prescription that is a much cheaper alternative to my last one, so crossing my fingers that my body responds well. 🤞

SKIP TO HERE FOR CONTENT UPDATES

As for content news: If you missed it, I started streaming my art on Twitch recently! 🥳
Im taking a small break this week due to my throat having a.. strong reaction to me talking more than usual (like I said, weird body issues) BUT we just got affiliate yesterday and I have a couple new emotes for subs to use! 🥰

Second: I have a barebones Discord server in the works! I've had a joint server with some friends for a long time but.. I have to be honest with myself and say that my own is long overdue haha. Im thinking of making it exclusive to Patreon/Kofi/Twitch subs, and it would be a better place to handle potential rewards for you guys, and just a place you can maybe hear from me more often 💕

Third: Small idea has hatched in my brain for a sub exclusive waitlist. Considering how many applications I've been getting for commissions, I would love to give you guys even more priority by guaranteeing that I pick at LEAST one sub order each opening. Maybe increase to two if the sub community grows a bit more?
Each time someone is picked they could choose to then be placed at the back of the line, or removed until they request to be added again. Hopefully this sounds fair?🤔


And lastly: I'm definitely thinking about bringing monthly fanarts back, but doing them in my sketch style. That way they are much quicker 👍

If anyone has a suggestion to enter for the first poll back, let me know! Otherwise I'll probably come up with something 😄

And especially if you have feedback/opinions on any of the above ideas (discord, waitlist, other suggestion), its very important to me! Please feel free to share 💕

Or if you just want to leave a comment to tell me how life has been treating you recently, I'd love to hear that too 🥰

Thanks for reading, until next time! ❤
