So as you might've guessed, I've planned to implement the Minion Menagerie reward! The first official group sketch will be in July and recur every other month. I will also be doing a promotional Minion Menagerie next month (June) for anyone currently at the $5 tier (I will be sending out messages asking for a link to your selected character, due by June 5th if you want to be included in the promo sketch).
Additionally, Discord access has been shared to the $3 support tier ^^

Hello everyone! I'd like to get your input on a new $5 art reward I wanted to add to the Minion Tier. Please read below and let me know what you think of the idea?
Also, I'd like to know if adding Discord access to the $3 Pit Dog (minimum) tier would be fair if the $5 tier gets a new reward?

The “Minion Menagerie” is my idea for my $5 Minion tier Patreon reward, and would work like this:
-I will draw a group of sketchy headshots every other month for every qualifying person in the tier (i.e., July, September, November, etc.)
-You’d need to be pledging at the $5 (Minion) tier for at least 2 months to qualify, after which your selected character would be in every Menagerie drawing until your pledge is discontinued
-Upon qualification, you would be prompted to send a link to your selected character. You can change your selected character between months, but unlike the monthly icons you wouldn’t be asked which character you wanted every month; I would work with whatever character the newest link in my inbox directed me to.
-You wouldn’t get to request anything about the headshot, it’d be artistic freedom. I might do traditional or digital, stylized, messy or clean, or anything I’m feeling like when I make the group sketch.
-The tier would be unlimited unless I actually end up hitting my limit for this
----------
I figure it's pretty fair since it's basically a headshot sketch for $10 every 2 months (where the cost and time would balance the lower per-month pledge), but please lmk if you think it's fair, especially in comparison with the other tiers--ie, the Monthly Icon YCH (Wandering Monster) and the Monthly Icon/3-month Sketch combo (Treasure Guardian) or if you'd have any thoughts to make it more fair.
Please keep in mind that art rewards take a large chunk of my time each month across all tiers, so there's not much I could change in regards to increasing frequency or adding complexity, if I'm going to add an art reward at this tier
