Update!!! YCH Events Incoming, Tier Changes, and More!

Greetings, all. Got some info to share for this account, since I've been getting back into the creative "groove" as of late. There's been a few under-the-hood changes I've been making here to incentivize my patrons more again. Let's get started.

Your Character Here (YCH) Events

I'm hopping on the YCH bandwagon for Patreon exclusively. I did YCH in the past as some fun exercises, and I think this would be a lot more engaging than the previous character poll system I had. Here's how it will work:

You will have to be on the $3 All-Access Tier in order to suggest a character.

I will post a small number of quickly sketched poses (aiming for every week) and in the comments, I want you guys to comment on who you want the character to possibly be. Only jot down one character for that post, and no multiple posts! Then, there will be a completely random drawing to slot into the poses for the results. The final output illustration will be a full-colored, cel-shaded image, that will be streamed live for all patrons to view and receive rewards. Please note that this is only for existing characters only. No original characters. The reason for this is that it's a lot more straightforward for me to look up references of the character.

This is NOT a raffle to win a single prize or gambling by any means. It is specifically for varying content existing patrons would like to see, and the result(s) will be used for existing rewards.

I'm looking forward to doing these, as I've always found them to be rather fun.

Request Tiers Removed, Reward Fulfillment Changes

As I shared in the last update, I was going to completely remove the Character Request tiers. They're now deleted in favor of commissioning me outside of Patreon. The reason for that is that a lot of people couldn't really jump on. So, if you're looking for the old request tiers, the only way you can do that now is by visiting here and contacting me outside of Patreon.

I also updated all tiers to the rewards they currently provide. As to how things are fulfilled, it will be different than mass uploads at the end of every month: At the end of every week, I will post all the rewards for all the content done that week. This is easier for me to stick to, as amassing a lot of content for 4+ weeks all at once is more taxing than doing it for every week.

Miscellaneous...

I also wanted to see what you guys think about (very limited) physical content. I have a new printer and I'm currently able to make prints up to 13x19, so I've been thinking of having a small reward for a print pack to get sent out every month to the individuals that sign up for it. The only thing is that it will be a costly tier as I have to account for shipping and print costs, but I wanted to query the idea to see if anyone would like that.

I also know that patrons that were on board previously have been concerned with my shift to having most of my art being public on my Twitter and Tumblr accounts. I wanted to let you know that I will still post exclusive content here from time to time, so it's not all in vain. That goes for both illustrations and sketches. The primary need to go majority public was to help quell the amount of leakers.

I also don't know how many people actually use the mobile Patreon app, but I will start using the Lens Clips to announce whenever I'm going on stream. Always bugged me to have to make a post for that. In any case, be sure you follow my Picarto account and my Twitter/Tumblr to know whenever I am going live.

Other than that, I'm ready to get some more lewds in! 😈

Thanks for hanging in there with me, everyone!
