Update on the future; important, but will repeat later
Added 2016-04-13 08:34:10 +0000 UTCMoo!!
I hope everyone's doing well :>
Please excuse my slight delay in getting stuff up. I know some of you are already aware, but for those not in the know; I had a small procedure yesterday on my arm that didn't go QUITE to plan, so I was rather sore XD.
Updates will begin later today.
Now, to the important bit;
As of June, I'm going to be turning off payments (or closing down entirely, I'm not sure which is easier for all involved), to give me enough breathing space to sort out my move etc. Last thing I want after the stress of that is to have the stress of worrying about being late (I worry about this a lot... it's actually a good thing, but it's tiring with other things going on at the same time)
I'm going to be re-working how I do things when I open again, as this alone has become a full time job and I never intended it to be so (I've huge wait lists for regular commissions, as I'm only able to do 3 a month, it shouldn't be this way DX).
While, like I said, it's not until June, I wanted to find out what you guys think.
So, my question is;
Do I return with much fewer, but ROTATED slots at the same price? (i.e have to step out after a month, but are welcome to jump back on after someone else has had a turn).
Or
Do I return to slightly less of the coloured slots, add some black and white ones again, but at a slightly higher price to bring them more in line with my commission prices (keeping them still lower, but at a more fair price for the work put in)?
I think it's safe to say I can remove the word "sketch", as these images are NOT sketches. I knew I'd end up just doing full images XD.
I can't just come back as normal unfortunately. I WILL need more time once we move to take on regular commissions and do auctions else I wont be able to afford new rent DX.
Again, this doesn't effect anything until the end of NEXT month, so PLEASE PLEASE participate in the give away's this month and next, as it'll be at least 2 months till I reopen!
Comments
I find rotating slots a pain to be honest (can it even be set up in Patreon?). I'd prefer to see any type of rotation avoided to be honest, even if I can see that hogging slots can be bit of a issue. On the other hand, I personally prefer to at least get a colored picture myself so having higher quality rotated slots might not be so bad after all, and it really sucks being locked out too. The way slots work in patreon is kinda inflexible admittedly too, if you want to move up or down in tier and the slots are full... well you're kinda stuck where you are unless you want to wholly give up your tier.
