Patreon Change Notice

Hey there, Oxdarock here!

I wanted to give people a heads up on the status of the major Patreon change I'll be making towards the end of the year. I plan to switch my Patreon from "per creation" to "per monthly" on January 3rd 2019. My goal is to at least make 3 finished requests posts per month, 2 via monthly voting polls and 1 via the High-End Request list (more on that later) The tier list is as follows:

• $2 tier: Able to see sketches posted to the Patreon gallery and be able to take part in voting polls.
• $5: tier: Able to see my finished works early before they make their way onto my online store (which tends to be much later).
• $10 tier: Able to make suggestions for monthly voting polls, will receive a link to an organized sketch archive of my works, will receive a free copy of a new image pack that I release that month.
• $15 tier: Able to take part in a second round of the monthly voting poll, will receive archive links to a dropbox archive of finished illustrations (up to 6 months) and comics (1 finished comic and any ongoing comics). 
• $20 tier: Able to make an extra suggestion to monthly voting polls, votes will count for twice as much, will have their name added to a special thank you picture, as well as any image pack I release that month.

Please be sure to adjust your pledge once I make the switch on January 3rd. My patron will have the "Charge Upfront" feature, however this won't affect existing patrons as long as you adjust your pledge before February 1st (you can learn more from this post). The tier names will remain the same with the "Big tier" making its return, so you can simply adjust your pledge to the corresponding tier and it will be the same as if you were charged for 5 paid posts in the current tiers (with the exception of the "Giant" tier, which would be one post short). 

I will be continuing with the "High-End Patron" list that I've started up. To be added to the list, you have to have pledged a lifetime amount of $240 to my Patreon (the equivalent to 12 months on the $20 tier). It's pretty much an extra perk for patrons who've stuck with me for a long time rather than a direct tier reward and perks are applied regardless of what tier you're a part of. The perks are as follows:

• Able to make an extra suggestion on monthly voting polls in addition to those you can make via tier rewards (so if you're part of the $10 tier, you can make up to 2).
• All votes will count for 1 extra (so if you're part of the $20 tier, your votes will count for 3, rather than 2).
• Will receive a link to the sketch archive of my works. 
• Will have their name added to a special thank you picture, as well as any image pack I release that month. 
• Will earn a slot in a "High-End" patron request list. Requests will be in full color and up to three characters can be suggested. Backgrounds will be simple unless a setting is specified. Requests on this list can be modified at any time (unless I've already finished sketching it) and will remain on the list even if the patron who made it ends their subscription (I'll even send you a copy as well). 

As a quick extra note, because the baseline to be added to the HEP list will be increased, patrons currently on the list will be taken off if their lifetime amount doesn't meet this amount. That said, I will still keep any requests made prior to this, so if your name is on this list, but you don't have a request on this list, be sure to contact me to make sure you still have a slot!

That's all on this, but stay tuned for more news!
