Changes in tiers (and activities)
Added 2022-06-13 19:59:46 +0000 UTCI have been trying to avoid making this post for a while because I don't know how people may react, originally I was planning to do it in August after the break I was planning to take in July, but since I have decided to move it to September I wasn't really sure when, but I think that in the end of the day the sooner the better.
The changes I am making to my patreon are with the goal to hopefully improve my current living situation and to offer a better experience for all of you, I will be talking about the changes by tiers (I will most likely change their names in the future)
- "Here to see" Tier ($1)
If you follow me in twitter you probably have read me write about how much artists should value their work, I have seen way too many undervaluing their work to the point of getting stressed over it, but considering how for more than 3 years I have been giving access to my work for only 1 us dollar does makes me feel a bit like an hypocrite. If you join today this tier you would gain access to +400 post and +500 drawings in the biggest possible quality, since I always post a version in lower resolution in my social media (not counting commissions), so I have decided to rise the price of this tier to $3. Patreon does not allow me to simply change the price, instead I will unpublish this tier and create the new one so you can move on to it if you feel like its worth it, you will have until July 30th to move to the updated tier, I know this is the tier with the largest amount of patrons so I think a month and a half should be enough time.
But that's not all the changes for this tier:
Patron's Suggestions will be back on July, available to all patrons: I'd say that I cannot believe I allowed myself to let this activity forgotten, but considering how this first half of the year have been in my personal life I guess I do understand, but that's not an excuse. The results for the 40th sketch from back in january will be available before june ends, and starting July I will be posting a new sketch for all patrons to send their ideas during the whole month, posting the results during August, they all will be colored starting with 2 per sketch, but this amount may increase since I'm considering setting up Goals that will affect this activity, such as a +1 suggestions or maybe even posting two sketches for you to decide, but I will be talking more about these details with July comes.
- "Here to enjoy!" Tier ($5)
This tier as well as its benefits will not change
"Here for a great time!" Tier ($10)
Another big change that I will be doing is for this tier, which will lower it's price to $8, the main reason is because I want to give more people the chance to ask for a colored request. Until now it's have been a very limited benefit but since over the months I have received some comments from friends who would like to join it but there is never a slot available I have decided that lowering the price will be the best way to do so without feeling like I am betraying the trust and patience of patrons of this tier.
The amount of colored requests I will be taking will only be 5, giving both $5 and $8 tiers the same chance for their ideas to be taken
As well as with the $1 tier I can't just change the price myself, but considering July will be the next month when I will be taking request I would suggest making the change as soon as possible, currently the tier is unpublished and I will be deleting it early on June 29th, I will make sure to send a warning message to patrons still there because I don't want you to get charged extra.
And that would be all for today, I hope I can keep counting with your support moving forward (and even if you decide to leave I have no hard feelings, we all have our situations after all) . I'm making this post hoping this will be the last changes I make to my patreon at least for the rest of the year, although I have been considering taking full body request, but that's a talk for another time.
Thanks for reading this long post for your support until now, I hope the second half of the year can go a bit easier on me so I can provide the good content you come here for with more punctuality and the quality you all deserve.
