NSFW Update + Other IMPORTANT Changes

Hey everyone, alright so there have been some major changes with regards to rewards (which may lose me some or a lot of you but that's just the way it is,) as well as the patreon in general, it being NSFW now.

tldr: read the tiers and see if you're ok with what's been updated, there are various reasons behind me changing things like this but I think these new tiers are better for me, you guys and any new patrons in the long run. I understand if you don't feel the same way

Why wasn't it nsfw before I hear you asking. That's a great question, basically I had figured that a "sfw" (if you can really call it that with what I post anyway,) patreon would attract the most people when I first created it and my art was still mostly sfw. As I'm now almost entirely a nsfw artist that doesn't really make sense though and I've been sacrificing the ability to show you guys a lot of exclusive WIPs and practice things etc that I don't really ever post anywhere and sometimes end up just being deleted.

So that's that, so on to what's really important which is the changes in the reward tiers, it's now been updated so that no one below Diamond gets a free commission any longer. Instead, the guaranteed commissions have been replaced with percentages off of my commissions. This change was made for a few reasons:

• Even though this patreon has reached goals way faster than I ever expected, taking commissions still makes me more overall for the time being so it would be in my best interest to keep those open as long as possible, but I can't do that while also having to do the patreon animations (no change in how that works btw, those will still come out roughly when they should,) AND the reward commissions for patrons. I stand by what I say in the next goal that if we reach it I can start focusing more on patreon by itself and possibly reintroduce the commissions as tier rewards, although maybe limit it to a raffle or something along those lines.
• On top of it making me lose money, and this is kinda just a personal problem, having a lot of things to do at a time makes me incredibly unproductive, as I tend to procrastinate more because I can't think of when I want to start something or in what order I want to do things and end up doing something completely unrelated instead and it snowballs from there. So not having so many things to do will help me mentally too, I won't feel as bogged down.
• Having to rush these rewards at the last minute leads to me putting out work that I don't think has my best effort in it, and instead becomes just a drawing for the sake of there needing to be a drawing, which is something that doesn't happen with my commissions, I tend to put my best effort into those, so I think (maybe) you'll be more satisfied with the ability to commission me much the same thing as you would have gotten already and more for less than the average person

lastly, nothing will change for last month of course, all the rewards I have to do for that month are being done, but these changes are EFFECTIVE THIS MONTH. Which means any payments processed for THIS month will be under these new changes. Yes this is a bad time to spring this at the end of the month but with the rapid increase in patrons I can't possibly like, pay rent next month if I don't have time to take commissions so this needs to be done I feel. I understand if this loses me a lot of support, I'll just continue to work as hard as I always have and hopefully we'll rebuild! If we drop below the $600 mark don't worry it won't affect the colored animation for next month at least.
