Changes to Release Schedule

I introduced the File Access tier a little over 8 months ago, and the reaction has been overwhelming! I’ve since made over 10 products available and have more than tripled my patronage! In that time though, I have discovered some things that are and aren’t working from a production standpoint. Due to the necessity of maintaining legacy products (avatars, especially), wanting to continue supporting recently released products in the form of variants, and my general artistic desires to be more experimental at times, I am going to be adjusting the release schedule slightly. I will be shifting to more of a dynamic system. This means that, while I will maintain the print/avatar expectation, I will be spending what I deem to be the time necessary on each project, rather than rushing to hit a monthly deadline. Sometimes this may mean that I continue supporting a release longer than others (Rouge variants), or I may break away to do the occasional one-off sculpts by community request or just general skillset practice and maintenance. I pride myself on my quality and continued efforts towards introducing customization in my releases, and sometimes that just takes a little more time or simply doesn’t pan out. This won’t be a drastic change, but I understand this may upset or de-incentivize some Patrons from sticking around, which is why I wanted to make sure I get this message out before billing continues again in October. I have not yet reached full sustainability via Patreon, so I am always needing to balance patronage with Gumroad sales and the occasional commission.

The current schedule is still to release the Vicar Amelia print in time for Halloween, followed by the Shark avatar. From there, I will be returning to some projects with long-anticipated updates. If you have any questions, let me know!
