AUGUST 2022 UPDATES

• SUGGESTION BOX RESULTS -
  I received four (4) suggestions for August's animation stream, which will be on Saturday August 13th // 2 - 6:30 PM CDT.
  
  For this month's animation stream, I'd like to be the one that chooses from the four submissions this time. I'm still trying to decide! You guys always make it difficult...xD
  
  Next month, I'll open the suggestion box again and will combine the 3 remaining August suggestions with any new September suggestions.
  
  ^ After, I'll let all Basic and higher patrons vote for which they'd like me to animate in October!
  
  
• RENAMING LOWER TIERS -
  I will be renaming my Tip Jar, Basic, and Mid Patreon tiers this autumn to (most likely) coincide with the patron-specific roles on Discord (Patron, Super Patron, and Ultra Patron). If I can think of more creative tier names, I'll implement that within Discord as well.
  
  Nothing will change with your benefits. Only the name of the tier is changing. This is lower priority so I imagine this will happen whenever I can get around to it.
  
  
• "MID" TIER ($15 USD) PRICE DROP IN OCTOBER -
  Please note that come October 1st, the MID tier will be re-priced to $10 USD instead of $15 USD to make it more accessible and better reflect the weight of the additional perks that tier offers.
  
  Over time, I've shifted priority away from Sketchbook posts which were once the main "selling point" for the MID tier. There will still be Sketchbook posts, but there will be less pressure on myself to produce them.
  
  Next month, I'll directly DM anyone in the MID tier to make sure they're aware that the tier will be deleted October 1st, and that all the same benefits are now cheaper (if they choose to remain a patron and choose to be in a tier with the same benefits).
  
  
• WINTER SKETCH COMMISSIONS FOR PATRONS -
  This winter I'll open up 7 - 9 sketch commission slots for patrons. Basic - Top tiers will initially have first dibs on slots. If there are any leftover slots, they will then go to the Tip Jar tier, and finally to Twitter & FA if anything is left. Look for more information on this later in autumn.
  
  
• NEW TIER "YCH-FOCUSED" TIER ON OCTOBER 1ST -
  For those who may have missed it, I'm reserving slots for a new YCH-focused tier that will launch on October 1st. I'm focused on prioritizing these limited slots for patrons before the public has a chance. You can learn more about the new tier and how to reserve a slot here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/65095101
  
  
• COMMISSION CLUB, OCTOBER 1ST -
  For those Commission Club patrons that will be sticking around after the Commission Club price increase in October, I'll get with each of you via Email in late September to find a good day and time to migrate you to your new tier.
