May early art preview + Patreon introduces "Charge Upfront" function (Patreon)

hey hey

So I just got some emails from Patreon telling me about some new stuff happening on the site. I also got a message about a poll Patrons were given. It read as follows:

'

Your patrons have spoken!

We asked your patrons which question they’d like you to answer most.

Here’s what they said:

35% What are you working on next?

28% C

an you share a sneak peek of something new?

.....

'

So here you go: I am working on some Avengers artwork to add to this month's art pack! Here's your sneak peak . I hope you like it.

Next big topic: Patreon introduces Charge Upfront feature

This feature is showing up now for Creators on Patreon running monthly campaigns. Simply put:

Patreon now processes your pledge instantly when you first sign up, and when you edit/increase your pledge amount.

After that, they continue to take your pledges on the 1st of every month, just like before.

Please read about it here for all the details: https://patreon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/210291283

So how will this affect my Patreon page? It means I can safely post art directly to my page using Creator Posts instead of having to mail it out every month.

You get art faster if you've just signed up + the artpacks can be downloaded directly off my creator posts which will be active for the entire month

The other thing this directly affects is the ability to instantly get past art packs. If you want a past art pack, you can just edit your pledge (+10 for regular art packs, +15 for premium ones) and Patreon will process the difference right away. I can mail you the art packs pretty quickly -- message me if this interests you.

I hope all this will be a bit easier than the messaging system. I'll get more details up on my profile page when I get the chance.

please comment or message me if you have any questions. bear in mind i am new to this, too!

cheers
