2023 Patreon Update

Hey lovely Patrons and those of you who look to join the family.

For a few weeks now we've been strategizing and thinking about potential additional rewards and plans for 2023, since a new year is always a nice time to freshen up some things and update where it's needed. 

This one might be a bit longer, but we're gonna make it as short as possible, and as structured as we possibly can! 

🌟 Patreon Goals: 

With this we mean the milestone goals you can set on Patreon for things you want to achive to unlock new rewards etc. Think of them like stretch goals on Kickstarter campaigns. You can see them here, if you are not logged in (this seems to be currently bugged, and signed in Patrons can't see them).

We're gonna start 2023 with two goals:

1. If we reach the first threshhold I will draw at least 2 NSFW rewards per month, which you can suggest characters for and vote for.

2. If we reach the second threshhold I will add a sticker to the monthly, physical reward pack.

I'm also thinking about drawing one thank you illustration for each goal. Potentially OC content, but none of this is set in stone yet!

🌟 New Tiers & Tier Changes:

This one is exciting. We're looking to give more ways to support and give more awards out passively. So let's walk through it quickly! 

$1 Tier - Tier 1: Nothing changes.

$5 Tier - Tier 2: Nothing changes.

$15 Tier - Tier 3 NEW: In addition to the rewards from Tier 1 & Tier 2, each month you can choose one reward pack from a past term that you can request and will then be sent.

This tier was announced a few month ago. It would be a shame to let older rewards just go to waste, so we want to give people who joined Patreon at a later date the chance to get their hands on some of the older rewards terms. 

$20 Tier - Tier 4: In addition to the merchandise pack you also receive the benefits of all previous tiers. That means you also get to choose one reward pack from a past month to catch up! 

This tier was previously basically Tier 3, but now a new addition slides in, so while it is still the same tier, with the same (and now more) rewards, it is technically now tier 4. 

$30 Tier - Tier 5 NEW: In addition to the rewards of all previous tiers (including the merch tier), you get one extra vote on every poll, extra variants of the NSFW rewards, and a year long 25% discount on my inprnt and Ko-fi shops! Additionally you get 20% off on any commissions you order from me. 

$40 Tier - Tier 6 NEW: In addition to all the rewards from all previous tiers you get to choose and pick one character that goes into the monthly reward poll, as long as the character applies to the usual rules.

This tier will be limited to only a few spots, because other wise each poll would have a gazillion characters.

$120 Tier - Tier 7 NEW: In addition to all the rewards of all previous tiers, you get a NSFW sketch every two month. This is the new, already announced NSFW tier, that you can pre-sign up for here. If you are interested in this particular tier, please read the post, pre-sign up or contact me if you have any questions.

We're looking to make some small tweaks and changes to the way we post content, just to keep things consistent, easy to find and easy to manage, but rest assured, you will still get the same content you get now. This is nothing that we will announce in a big way, you might just notice that the post structure changes a bit, and we will make sure to utilize Discord & messaging systems etc. to distribute content in a way that really everyone gets their hands on it!

🌟 Con Preparation:

This isn't really an update in the literal sense. I plan to attend conventions here in Germany in 2023. I have no way of knowing if any convention will have me, and how many I will be able to attend in the end, but attending conventions means I have to prepare a lot of stuff. Your support during this time is greatly appreaciated, and Ko-fi donations made in 2023 will go into con prep a lot, to purchase stock, buy a new printer (our printer sucks butts mostly), make new merchandise etc.

So if you want to help out with con prep, please check out the con part of my Throne list here and every donation on Ko-fi will also massively help out.

🌟 Commissions: 

An updated version of my Carrd page will go live in 2023, and we're gonna do a first commission pre-order cycle then. Probably for all commission types that are available in 2023!
