IMPORTANT UPDATE. Please read carefully.
Added 2020-03-18 19:06:06 +0000 UTC(Clickbait title: MY PATREON IS NOW FREE (NOT REALLY, BUT YES IT IS, KIND OF, BUT NOT? IT'S COMPLICATED, BUT NOT REALLY.)
First of all, I hope everyone is doing well, and follow your governments' recommendations and self isolate if you are feeling sick. I know some of you have lost your jobs, and some have even lost loved ones, and you have my sympathies and condolences, for as much that is worth. Everyone try to stay safe out there, and keep informed.
Some of you know my day job is as a healthcare worker, which means things are starting to become a bit crazy for me work-wise, and it will only get much more so before this all is over, with me being called in whenever and wherever I am needed, so I have no idea if I will be able to produce any sculpts at all in the coming month, or two. Which means:
Starting now I will suspend all billing until further notice. As a patron with an active pledge, you will not be billed next month on April 1st.
I have made a little FAQ which I will add to if more questions arise:
What does this mean to me?
- This means if you are currently an active Patron this month (March) you will not be billed on April 1st like you normally would, but you will keep being a Patron of mine. Unless you have cancelled this month, then read next question:
I have paid for this month, but I also cancelled this month, will I also get next month for free?
- No. You will have to re-activate your pledge before April 1st, but you will not be re-billed for this month (March), or on April 1st.
I cancelled last month, and am not a current Patron of yours, what about me?
- Nothing will happen, you will continue to not be a Patron next month.
What if I sign up to your Patreon next month (April), will it be free?
- No. April is only free if you have an active pledge in this month (March).
Will you keep posting sculpts?
- I hope so, but the whole point of suspending billing is so you guys don't have to pay for nothing. You will keep being Patrons without paying anything, but this also means worst case scenario I won't have time to make any new sculpts. Best case scenario you guys will get new sculpts without having to pay anything.
For how long will you suspend billing?
- Until I am confident I can get back to delivering at least two sculpts a month on a regular schedule.
Will you suddenly start billing us again without letting us know?
- No, you will not be billed again on May 1st unless I explicitly state so in advance, giving you enough time to cancel if you wish to do so.
I am currently (March) a $1 Donor tier Patron, does this mean next month (April) I become a $10 Supporter patron for free?
- No. You will remain in the tier you currently (this month, March) have active.
I am new and I see your Patreon is paused. How do I get your starter pack sculpts?
- You can still become a Patron as usual, and receive your starter pack with sculpts. Just sign up as normal. As a new Patron you will be billed as normal in order to receive the starter pack.
Why are you doing this?
- My day job is as a healthcare worker, and these are crazy times for us (all of us) all over the world. I can be called in almost any time, to work anywhere I'm needed, and I can't guarantee I will be able to produce any rewards the coming month (and possibly more) and it won't be fair to you guys.
AND FINALLY, A SNEAK PEEK OF WHAT IS NEXT...
KING THOR
I'm working on wrapping this one up for release this week. My version of old King Thor (King Thor is an actual Marvel thing which many non comic reads might not be aware of, but is worth looking up and reading).
There will be at least two variants, and it looks like it will be support free, too.
