Structure Change (PLEASE READ)

Hey there!

I've been thinking about restructuring my Patreon and its rewards lately. 

With my new job having both more hours and a longer commute than my previous positions, I've had less time to produce art. This has caused not only pack delays, but also a massive backup with commissions. I do not like to have clients waiting for extended periods of time like this.

As such, I am planning on deleting the $60 tier. Those that have not gotten their reward for this month will have it finished, don't worry. But the tier will not be available for next month. I'll also still be doing four characters for the October pack, as promised in my previous poll post.

Tiers will be structured like this:

• $2 tier - .psd files, sketch WIPs, voting privilege (same as before)
• $5 tier - .psd files, sketch WIPs, voting privilege, + get a 15% off code for my Etsy.
• $10 tier -  .psd files, sketch WIPs, voting privilege, one single-character sketch + get a 15% off code for my Etsy. 
• $20 tier - .psd files, sketch WIPs, voting privilege, one single-character sketch, get a unique 15% off code for my Etsy, + 10% off commissions, + get access to high-res files used for future prints and merchandise. I've never offered these files before!

$5 tier will have unlimited slots, while $20 tier will have 5 slots (same amount as $10 tier).

$5 and $20 tiers are available starting RIGHT NOW! For $10 tier patrons: you will get your discount code starting on 10/1.

Goals have also changed to reflect the expected dip in revenue.

• Goal 1: $100 a month: Pack will have two characters
• Goal 2: $150 a month: Pack will have three characters
• Goal 3: $200 a month: Pack will have four characters
• Goal 4: $300 a month: $10 tier and above will get one piece of new merch FOR FREE when I release new products (excluding high-ticket items such as dakimakuras)

If you have any suggestions for other rewards, or have feelings about these changes, please let me know in the comments or on Twitter (@PearlyIri). I'd really appreciate any feedback regarding this change. I'm nervous about this change, but I hope that it will lead to better time management for me in the future. But freeing up my time better, I'll be able to produce other content, such as new merchandise, print designs, YCHs, and more personal art projects!
