HUFFNEWS! (Changes to patreon benefits)

Hello! I finally finished the comic and it took me MUCH longer than i thought it would, but no matter. It's finally done and i learned a lot about managing such big projects. I don't feel discouraged so you can expect slow steps toward new big project in the future. 

Now lets talk about the main topic of these News: Changes to benefits. Sadly I have to remove "Commission line priority" from list of supporters benefits, so 5$ and 10$ won't actually get to commission before everyone else. When i first made this a benefit i thought it was a good idea to reward my supporters with guaranteed commission slot when i do open, but recently i talked a lot about management with people who have a lot more experience than i do and i came to conclusion to remove this benefit. Here are the reasons why:
-Guaranteed Commission slot for 5$ and 10$ supporters is probably already completely unreasonable. There is more than 70 supporters at these tiers and if even 20 of you would want to commission me, i would be flooded with work for months. When i made this benefit i had few supporters and i had no experience with commissions, now i know better and i see how unrealistic such promise is.
-Making commission priority a patreon benefit creates situation in which people have to pay me to get a chance to pay me for work. Do you see a problem? I don't want to create system in which only my patreons get a chance to get a commission. I want to create art for everyone, and not build myself an elitist stronghold.

I know this sucks, especially if you are my supporter at 5$ or 10$ tier and supported me specifically to get a commission. I'm sorry for letting you down. However, i feel obligated to make up for this change in some way. I can't give all my 5$ and 10$ supporters a commission slot... But i can give you a free doodle! I hope it'll make this situation a bit better, and this change a bit more bearable. 

Note on Bigger projects and wips: I do not set deadlines, and while i do try to deliver art as fast as possible, i make mistakes and i work at my own pace. Because of that, like with comic i just finished, some projects will take months before they are done. I don't want to stress, i don't want to rush.

No Commissions slots, No hidden patreon-exclusive art. What is this patreon for exactly then? Well, I will be posting occasional poll, and WIP on bigger projects but overall... I want you to think of my patreon as a tip jar. Throw some money my way if you like what i do. I can't offer much patreon-exclusive things because i want my art to be enjoyed by people no matter if they pay me or not. I hope you understand.

I wish you all a wonderful day, and thank you for your generous support

I'm glad you took the time to communicate the issue at hand. I think its reasonable to take out the commission priority list and I hope this lessens your mental burden to help you create art in a more relaxed manner.

That's understandable, as your support base grows you have to make things more realistic or you'll burn out. I cant wait to see what kind of projects you have in mind for the future and I don't think this will change my teir. The updates/wips are enough for me I love to see the creative process of others

I think people will understand. Myself just come here on patreon to help you because i very like your art. Take your time, think about yourself first, what ever you need to do do in your own pace.

No worries! You do what’s best, I’m just happy to support my fav artist! Hope things are going well!

Ah, may someone like me raise their pledge next month to join in on the doodles?

Alphazan

I'll be doing them pretty much now and over next two-three weeks. I won't be streaming it

Huffslove

That is understandable.. I respect that decision Huffs. When would you get to doing the doodles? This month or next month? Also will you be streaming it?
