Plans for Changes (Full ver.)

Hello everyone!

So as you may or may not know, or you've read my previous post, I've been making plans to change and adjust a lot of the pledges here on Patreon. These changes are mostly to make things even more fair to both myself and to the Patrons. Right now, I'm just going to share my thoughts on what's to come.

First off, I know that I haven't been the greatest in keeping up with your rewards or just making content in general over these last few months and I sincerely apologize. I do have everyone written down for their pics, it's just been hard getting to them as commission work is also taking place at the same time. I know that this is mainly my fault as I've tried to do too much for EVERYONE without giving myself very few ways to ease any of the burden.  Many of you who have stuck by me throughout it all and have been ever so patient with me, I thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

I sat down a reevaluate what I really wanted to do with my art and what I could offer to you. What I want to do is let you into my head. To simply list what I mean by this, what I want to do is:

• Create and further develop my growing cast of characters (You thought Sirius was my only one?). Mold their traits, establish what makes them...them! I have 8 characters, most of which have been with me for many years and it's high time I got more involved in fleshing them out and I want to make it so that you can be involved in that development process.

• Show you my work process. I've been asked many times in the past if I could give insight into how I do what I do, and honestly I enjoy being able to do so, even if I'm not the best teacher. I want to be able to create tutorials, speed drawing/painting videos, and process walkthroughs for some of my pics. Hopefully, they can be a help for any other artists or even just a nice look into how I work.

• Create comics and more. I've always wanted to do short comics animations but never really found time to do them. I'd like to apply these and test them out on my characters, buuuuuuut...I would always be fun to one day use some of you as my guinea pics ;3. Sadly, at this current time, I can't really delve too much into those things since I have a lot of backlog work. Hopefully the future with bring forth opportunities. 

So I'm going to be providing rewards based on these philosophies. 

 Now, onto the changes. For the pledges, I'm planning on readjusting the amounts you will have to pledge, as well as taking out some unnecessary ones to simplify things. The tentative pledge amounts I have are: $1, $5, $10, $25, and $40. Again, these are tentative, so whenever I get the confirmation, I will make another post announcing the final prices.

Ok, regarding picture rewards (the real kicker), I'm planning on returning to doing  simply sketches and colored sketches; mostly full body; 1 character only. "Colored sketches?", you may ask. Yes, colored sketches.  The style of said sketches will be experimental nature, as I try out new techniques I may come across, so results will vary in terms of look.   I will be limiting these to the last two higher up tiers (which will be  and there will be no more stacking rewards over the months. Partially because stacking got pretty messy and it would lead to much more work in the long run (blaming myself on that oversight for damn sure).   

Well, I'm done! Thank you for reading this long explanation. I will try to make a TL;DR version to simplify things some. Sorry for any errors.
