Major Patreon update : Art Hoarders and Influencers!

Hello! Welcome to February!

I've been busy trying to work out next steps for this Patreon since it's starting to grow and I'm starting to get an income stream.

I've thought through on what to do with tiers and this month is the time to announce! I've made two new tiers:

Art Hoarder and Collector $5

An additional tier between Supporters and Influencers. The main distinction is that alongside with sketches and access to polls, these users will get access to high-res versions of finalized art that's posted to FA.

Alongside with that, they'll have access to any alternate versions of the art, if I'd been mulling over alternate versions for a time. I have a tendency to mull quite a bit.

I'm usually good with sketches, but if regular posts are slow, I'll also make sure people in this tier always get at least something per month, so be ready for alternate versions of older art.

Commissions may not end up here, however, as that's somewhat a conflict of interest. Just a heads up.

Influencer! (formerly Early Adopter) $10

First of all, thanks to those who took the initial dive without knowing what would come through. The number of people who took the pledge of $10 is part of the reason why I felt audience participation would be a great option.

Influencers will have early access to a specific (base) image. This specific base image is something that's intentionally left to imagination or interpretation. Every person in the Influencer's tier will have the ability to give their version of what they want to happen in the given image. Depending on turnout, I will then take those suggestions and make alternate edits for each idea, and put them up in a poll for everyone to vote their favorite!

This is something I plan to do at least once every two months (if not once every month), and will do everything to follow through on each one. I'll do what I can to make sure Influencers are still involved each month and still get something special.

Whew. That's a lotta words.

Anyways, thanks everyone for your contributions so far. The first Influencer image has just started! So look forward to that!
