Patreon Changes + Fresh Start

Hey there everyone o/ I was not as communicative over here about the situation. My discord is where I will be doing a majority of my updates of what is happening on the design scene. (If you have not joined my patreon discord yet, you can do so by following these steps. How To Link My Discord To Patreon )

Due to a lot of complications I decided to go with a fresh start starting this month. I was already behind due to the snow storm that happened back in February and I could just never truly catch up. Then health complications both physical and mental have happened which made it so catching up was nearly impossible and not worth the stress and anxiety. So, starting this month it is a fresh start. (If you were in a reward tier, you will still receive your previous rewards over time.) Going forward, I have made changes to the functions of this Patreon. (Which can change in the future)

1.) Exclusive Content

From here on out, all content posted here will be exclusive content and cannot be shared anywhere. All previous early access content will still be released on their release timelines, but everything from now onward will all be exclusive.

Does this mean you will never upload to your other sites?

No, I will still be uploading sketch rewards, commissions, teasers and some small things here and there. Just the core of my content won't be posted.

2.) Changes To The Tiers

It has taken time to try new tiers, see what I like creating and see what sticks. I will be honest, the sequence tier just was not doing it for me. They take a lot of work for so little payoff and honestly would just rather do other types of content. So, due to this the Sequence Tier has been switched to the Zera Tier. 

What exactly is the Zera Tier?

The Zera Tier will contain lots of misc content that involves my characters and world of Zera. One of the things being worked on now is "Ruby Streams" which is a fun interactive way of doing story-driven Illustrations where you can interact with the character as she streams the games she loves to play. You will learn a lot more about Ruby this way, and who knows. Maybe she will become your new favorite streamer. Also, this tier will include Lore with concept illustrations, Character Pages and Designs for other characters, Character Interactions and more. ("Ruby Streams" will be core content that stays, all other post will me misc of all the above stuff to help build the world, lore and characters. The future of Zera will be something to come in the future)

(Since Sequence Tier is now gone, I have temporarily removed the Platinum Tier until I can come up with new rewards.) 

Illustration Tier has also been changed, it is no longer a guaranteed 5 Illustrations a month and will just include whatever I can finish and produce. (It can be 4, it can be 7. It's just whatever I feel inspired enough to finish)

(I have also temporarily removed the Gold Tier until I can think of a better reward system)

3.) No Longer Holding Myself To A Quota

To be honest, I have been struggling a lot recently due to a lot going on in my life at this time. Life has been a roller coaster and has not been kind to my psyche. Bad experiences really effect my inspiration. I am a very emotional driven artist that some things just throw my psyche for a loop and makes it almost impossible to get anything done. I am far from perfect, and I am trying my best to fix this about myself and to do better, but takes time. So, that's why moving forward I am no longer holding myself to a quota for my content. It has stressed me out, and a lot of times saps a lot of my imagination and inspiration. Sometimes good work takes time, sometimes it can come immediate, sometimes it takes time in the oven to be great. Things will be finished when they are finished. 

I hope this new way of me doing these will help me work better. And I hope I can continue to create great content you can all enjoy. Take care everyone~ New content will be out soon.
