Sketch Reward Tiers Bein Removed

After a lot of consideration I’ve decided it would be best to retire the rewards system for the foreseeable future. All current rewards will still be completed, but the tiers will become inactive and I ask that any members of the reward art tiers please set yourself to one of the other available tiers or cancel entirely if the sketches were your only reason for joinin. This decision has been on my mind for a while, in fact it was one I planned to implement after I eventually got a full-time job, I just decided to get a headstart on it now instead. First and foremost, it's no secret to any of the members of these tiers that rewards were never comin in on time and I haven’t had the que cleared for nearly a year. It’s piled up more and more overtime and I feel at this point it’s better to stop them here than keep goin with them. On top of that the constant que has left me little time to comfortably work on other projects which has resulted in the polls, daily sketches, and weekly sketches gettin quietly axed in an attempt to make more time for rewards. This has also extended to personal art and projects I’ve had planned, not just single pieces but sequences, animations, and comics goin unstarted because I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish them with my current workload. This has compounded with the fact that rewards at this point are not worth it for me financially. The prices for these tiers were set up when I started the Patreon in 2023 which do not reflect the current sketch prices I have today. Commissions would be a better route for me to take which hasn’t been possible recently because of rewards, as members of the Discord saw when I tried to open them about a month and a half ago. After the last batch of rewards is finished the plan is to have weekly sketches, monthly vote sketches, and maybe even daily sketches return. Along with this I plan to open up commissions more frequently, possibly with a slot or two exclusive for Patrons, or a small discount. Members with Frequent Customer will also see more in the Discord, mainly wip shots for larger projects that I will now have the time for. Overall everyone across the tiers should see a major uptick in art from this change. Apologies to those who have had long-standin rewards and those excited to cash in more in the future. As stated at the start current standin rewards will be done but from that point on the focus will be shiftin to art for the whole Patreon to enjoy.
