The Pack is Back + Incoming Tier Changes

Thank you all for your patience, I'm back with some big changes so let's hop in.

First and foremost, the Packs are back! I hope nobody thought I would take a whole month off and not cook on something just a little bit in the meantime~
They won't be on a regular schedule (still on an "out when it's out" basis) but when they release, they'll be available for $10 USD through Patreon's "sellable posts" thing, or by being a member of the slightly reworked Neapolitan tier.
Here's a peek at the cover of the next pack, available this Friday, August 1st:

Also, the next pack I'll be working on will be Shrunkenheart III: Demands of the Drow (WIP title, release TBD).

Next, tier perks are changing around to make it clearer exactly what you're getting with each tier, as well as some benefits being moved around to help me avoid burnout and keep the renders coming. This is what the new streamlined tiers are going to look like in August:

Tier 1 - Vanilla ($2)
Early Access to renders as well as exclusive renders (i.e. Monthly Poll Render).

Tier 2 - Strawberry ($5)
All previous tier benefits
Voting in Monthly polls

Tier 3 - Chocolate ($7)
All previous tier benefits
Submit characters/scenarios to the Monthly Poll

Tier 4 - Neapolitan ($20)
All previous tier benefits
Monthly Request Render
Image Pack Access

So, TL;DR of the big changes:
- Chocolate tier request form is being retired due to lack of interest.
- Levels of monthly poll access are being re-balanced around. All tiers will have access to the final monthly poll render.
- Neapolitan tier is getting a price reduction, due to it being changed from a "Commission" tier to a "Monthly Request" tier. Don't get it twisted though, all Neapolitan tier members are still guaranteed at least one high-quality render per month. This change is mainly to take pressure off on my end, and more details will be made clear in an updated submission form. A lot of this is just semantics to help relieve some stress off myself, and if you've gotten a commission from the Neapolitan tier in the past, the process itself will remain mostly unchanged. Also, to go with the simplified structure, the Neapolitan tier will be updated to have 6 available slots instead of 4, so if you've been wanting a specific render from me but just couldn't snag a slot, now might be your chance!

I realize these changes are being announced pretty close to the next billing cycle, which I do apologize for. These are decisions I do not make lightly and went back and forth on a lot over the past couple weeks. If any of yall are charged in this new month and don't feel satisfied with the tier changes, feel free to shoot me a DM and I can send a refund.

I hope many of you will stick around, cause I've got some irons in the fire that I think are going to be rad (Daz3D's animation tools have been staring at me for a while now... hmm...) but if these changes are a dealbreaker, I completely understand.

Sorry for the essay and thanks for all the support thus far, I hope you're as hype for the future as I am,
