Patreon 2021

Wow! Crazy to think this will be the 5th year of my Patreon next month, absolutely bonkers! It's been a rough year for everyone, myself included, and with the new year, I plan to introduce some new content, as well as say goodbye to others.

First off: Effective January 2021, the $35, $50, and $100 rewards will no longer be active. 

This one is gonna be tough for me. For all y'all who supported me with these pledges over the past few years, thank you, from the bottom of my year, sincerely. You've been a major lifeblood of this patreon, and I couldn't be more grateful for your support every month. 

But as the years go on, and new life changes occur, I realize I can't keep up with the demand anymore. I started this Patreon right as I was getting out of college, so free time was all I had, but almost 5 years later, and things haven't been exactly easy, as I'm sure you've noticed over the past few months. Between moving, more responsibility, and burnout (which was a huge bummer), I have to do what's best for my well-being. Again, thank you to all of you who supported me with this tiers.

Secondly: Personal Patreon Polls

I'm sure you've noticed the lack of Poll artwork over this year. Well, with my previously stated life-changes and updates to Patreon over the year, including the ones moving forward; I elected to focus on the high-tier rewards, so I didn't have to have those overlap into the new year. 

I still plan to continue these polls, as they're a fun and easy way to engage with my patrons, and see what they enjoy viewing/supporting (but let's be honest, if you're supporting me, you already have a good idea of what you want, lol). So come January, you're gonna be seeing a LOT of those updates. And be sure to recommend characters for future polls as well, I'm starting to run out of gals I want to see myself, lol~

But, I won't be doing a poll for this month, as I'll explain below in the next part.

Third: Future Projects

So, with the removal of the reward-based tiers, I plan on doing more long-term projects, that will be easier to manage and maintain. 

A few ideas I had include a Your-Character-Here style story/sequence, involving an automatic-nursery style playland, or a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure sequence, which I plan to do for December, to test the waters! I'll have a post detailing that, so head over there if you're interested in participating! And of course, I'll be doing more personal artwork too, I feel that's been one of the major things I've been missing the past few years, and I want to be able to jump back into that.

If you have any ideas of what you want to see from me, please recommend them below! I'm not sure I'm ready to jump back into comics yet, so hold off on recommending that for now!

Fourth: $5 Tier

So, with this, the $5 tier will be the only tier that remains to see new content, if you're a $1 patron and want to see future content, please be sure to adjust your pledging! That goes for any high-tier patrons, make sure to pledge LESS so you don't get overcharged! 

-------------------------------

TL;DR - I'll be downsizing my Patreon, opting for more long-term projects, rather than short-term pieces.

I'm excited for what the new year brings us! Thank you all for your continued support over the years, your support has literally kept me going, and I plan to keep going too~!
