Patreon Changes for Next Month + General talk about stuff

TL;DR for those who just want the info, I will be removing the $20 tier to go along with some of the other changes for the tier rewards, the Monthly Character Polls for both OCs and general characters will be removed entirely and replaced with... anything else I might come up with over time, and I will be opening up 1 more slot for both of the Colored/Shaded Drawing tiers, mostly because of popular demand for them. Also ILU all <3


Basically, I just always felt having too many tiers can make things feel a lot more cluttered than what they should be. Plus, with the reward changes that will be happening, it only makes sense to do so.

As for the reward changes themselves, the biggest one would be the removal of both the Monthly Character Polls.
The thing about them was, while they did serve as a decently fun way for ya'll to decide on a character for me to draw next at first, over time, interest for them seemed to... go down sadly. I had to really reach out to those suggesting the characters for their picks, since most either forget, or don't really have a suggestion in mind.

And of course, that's not to fault anyone for that! After all, it can get pretty tiring doing that every single month, basically going down to a choice between somehow coming up with some interesting character to suggest that hasn't been mentioned yet, or just making the same choice over and over.
Also, the same kind of goes for me as well, since I can sometimes get lazy with making the posts themselves about when people can start suggesting the characters themselves, and for the voting as well lmao

What I will say though, is that despite anything, voting was still at an all time high every single time. So with that in mind, it's likely Monthly Character Polls aren't completely going to be gone forever, and instead are likely going to be changed up slightly in the future, if I ever reinstate them. Maybe I'll pick the characters myself instead so ya'll can vote on them, and that would solve the issue?


Also, I did say I am going to be opening up 1 more slot for each of the drawing rewards tiers too. And while I always debated about opening too many of them, fearing it might be too much for me to handle, it's become very clear to me how much people want them, since they get filled up instantly, if there's ever even an opening to swipe one lmao

So, depending on how things fare going forward, I might continuously open up more slots for these, right now starting with just +1. Although realistically, I cannot see myself doing more than 5 for each, so that'll likely be the absolute limit for them.
I do want to do commissions alongside these after all, and any more of them would just put too much on my plate to even consider them haha


With that said, I will continue to express how unbelievably grateful I am to every single one of you for your continued support over the years! It's helped me more than what ya'll could ever imagine, especially in these times with the virus being a roadblock for a lot of people, for a lot of reasons.
Even I was kicked out, and very recently confirmed to be out of a job because of it, so Patreon funds have helped me immensely making ends meet!

Overall, I'm just glad you all like the stuff I draw, as silly as it may be at times =v=
And there's only the future to look forward to, for more THICC CUTIES onwards >:3c


Also of course, in case anyone is wondering about the changes:
They will all be effective starting the next month, February.
Any questions you might have, feel free to contact me anywhere about them!
I'd be more than happy to answer any questions regarding them.
