̶C̶L̶O̶S̶I̶N̶G̶ ̶ CHANGING PATREON PAGE + DISCORD UPDATES

***Update! After reading some feedback from you all public and privately, as well as doing some thinking on my own, I have decided not to close my Patreon Page! I will explain in more detail in a new post soon.***

Hello Everyone! 

My Dearest supporters of so long...I want to say first that I greatly appreciate you. Its been an extremely turbulent time in my life ever since Fall 2021 but lately I have learned that you all, and even others basically support me unconditionally. Thats insane for me to comprehend and I am learning to lean into that more. So thank you so much again, I can't wait to continue sharing this journey further. 

 ̶H̶o̶w̶e̶v̶e̶r̶,̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶t̶i̶m̶e̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶P̶a̶t̶r̶e̶o̶n̶ ̶p̶a̶g̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶c̶l̶o̶s̶e̶.̶ ̶

BUT...

There is a new beginning on Discord! All you need to do is join my discord here if you haven't already: https://discord.gg/EuCFpdZj

Once you are in, at the top left,  you will see an icon that says "Server Subscriptions" Thats where you can sign back up to support me and have access to your rewards! (its a bit more expensive than $5 *($10 now)* but there are a couple new perks thanks  to the community aspect of Discord itself)

In the meantime, you can get access to my rewards from October 2022 - January 2023 using this link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YZK8g_tIq4NnOadfUrIsU6uLjdCHc9G6?usp=share_link

That link will expire at the end of February, and you will be able to find the new one on the Rewards channel of the discord server at that time! 

If you are unable, or no longer want to continue supporting me via subscription, that is also perfectly fine! You are still more than welcome to join the Discord server with everyone else from our little ergo community lol. 

For those of you on the fence, please check out the Subscription Tier description to see the summary of rewards! The newest highlights are the new monthly draw with me videos that are exclusive to my patrons + much more opportunity for engagement with everyone else + me included! Theres space to share work and chat with everyone, or just other Subscribers as well. I'm really excited to see how things evolve from here on out! 

Last thing I want to mention, is that I will be adding a second Tier for $89.99 next week! This tier will be for those of you who want consistent, direct access to me for critique/feedback. Everyone who signs up will receive up to 2 7-15 minute videos where I critique and paint over your work. I will suggest artists and activities you can do to study and improve on the things I point out as well! 

I know that at this price, it wont be possible for many of you, but I know that there are lots of people who would love to get some reliable feedback from an artist they trust/admire. Usually the only way to get this is to buy a course that includes feedback from the instructor but those usually cost 600-700 usd for 6-8 critiques. The critiques are also only for homework from the course instead of anything you may be creating on your own. This is for people who are doing lots of self study, but want serious, reliable feedback as well as be part of a more focused community for improving their art!
