Major Update- Plans amid COVID-19 Outbreak

I hope you're doing well, everyone. I have a few updates to share with you while this pandemic continues to keep us cooped up at home. To start with, my family and I are all doing well. We've been able to practice social distancing so far, and with my mother and sister being able to do their jobs at home, they are still being paid. My father still has to go to his job, as much as I wish he could do his at home too, but he is able to distance himself at work too. As for me, this is my job, and with the outbreak causing uncertainty and panic in so many people, I want to be there to provide some comfort and entertainment. I've been doing daily livestreams to make up for people staying in their homes during the crisis, which will not change. 

I will be keeping in touch with all my patrons and with all of my fans and friends as the pandemic goes on. To be clear, if anything should happen, I will fight through it. To everyone reading this, no matter the struggle, keep fighting! Somehow, someway, we will pull through. 

For the time being, I have a few updates made on my Patreon page: 

• Commission Discounts are live! I added the commission discount rates for each patron tier. For a look at my prices, you can see them here:  https://www.deviantart.com/berry-duke96/art/Commission-Pricelist-WINTER-2020-826710350 I am opening commissions April 5th! There will only be 3 slots open, so please message me if you are interested. 
• Benefits have been updated! I now have all the benefits updated for each tier. Whether you are tier 1, 2, or 3, you will get a discord tag in my group, The Full Blimps, you will also get access to exclusive art, exclusive WIP pictures, and early access to my monthly art. The only major difference at this time is higher tier patrons will get higher commission discounts. 
• May's Patron Sequence is being planned! Due to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, I'm maintaining the goal of $50 in patron subs for April 20th. If I can maintain this goal, I will do another 3-4 part painted sequence or morph sequence. If not then I will still do 2 pictures revolving around the next set's theme. I won't reveal the theme yet, but I will at least a week before the April set is uploaded. 
• Finally, I am looking into animating a future patron set! This I don't have much for yet, but I want to try animating a set exclusively to Patreon in the future. When I am ready I will have a stretch goal made for it since doing this requires a premium membership on Vimeo. This may not be for a few months, but I will continue learning how to animate in the meantime. 

That's all there is for now. Stay safe, stay home, and stay clean! For now, I'll see you later with the next WIP update!
