Changes to my Patreon rewards (please read!)

Added 2018-07-02 14:00:00 +0000 UTC

Let me start by saying thank you for supporting me while I figure out this Patreon thing and how to make it work for me. You are helping me break into the next phase of my art career and I couldn't be more grateful.

I'm making some changes to how I run my Patreon and what I'm offering. The reason being that I feel like I made this page to promote more personal projects and art. Instead, it's been the opposite: I've been doing even more art for others. I don't even find time to animate. This isn't what I wanted out of Patreon so it's time to adjust the formula.

🔵 So what is changing?

No longer offering loot boxes: This started off as a means to get around the no-raffle rule because I wanted to offer free-art opportunities. Unfortunately this has added a lot of work on my plate and I've had countless shipping problems, especially with international mail. But please don't worry cupcakes! You will still receive your rewards for June (what you just paid.) This will be my last batch of loot boxes.
No guaranteed Patreon-exclusive streams: I honestly never kept up with this to begin with so I don't want to promise anything that I can't keep on top of.
Commission openings: Will now be bumped to the Cupcake tier instead of Cookie Jar. Upon comparing to other successful pages, I've decided to make this change.

🔵 What do we gain from these changes?

Full resolution images will still be at the Cupcake tier, however no more limited spots! Many of you messaged me privately requesting a tier to get full-res because of the difficulty procuring a cupcake slot.
Comics: I want to start NOW! I don't want to wait for my milestone. However I didn't have time with all the lot boxes and whatnot so let's ease into that.
Patrons seeing more art: I want to post almost ALL of my art here first before releasing it to the public. This includes more WIPS.
"But King, what about that free cell shade opportunity?! That's why I'm here!"
I didn't forget! I mean, it's a great offer, right? Well, per Patreon rules, I cannot offer raffles as a reward. However, I am free to hand out freebies at my own will so I intend to do that. You guys are important to me so I want to give back! From now on, free art opportunities will be available to ALL my patrons. It's not a tier reward, just a perk of supporting me. No guarantees on frequency or that everyone can get art, it'll be on my terms.

🔵 What's not changing at all?

Tutorials: Still making them! Not sure if I can guarantee one a month but that's what I aim for.
Pinups and voting: Loot boxes and commissions has made it hard for me to get around to these but I'm hoping this will open up some more time!
Commission opportunities: still here, just bumping it up a tier. I aim to open at least once a month.
Sundae tier is staying. I still only have one slot though (currently occupied)
