Patreon Tier Changes and Commission Reopening Info! (Patreon)

Okay! this post is going to be an explanation of exactly what's happening come March. Note that everything is still subject to change during this month, and is not set in stone. Questions, thoughts and feedback are welcome and appreciated, and if you need to see my reasoning for these changes, please refer to my 2019 retrospective post.

The Tier Changes
====

-First off, the most important change that requires reiterating: The $15 and $25 tiers will be done away with! So please be sure to lower your pledges before March comes around to avoid paying more or benefits that no longer exist!

-There will be a new tier $10 tier. This tier will basically allow you to "schedule" commissions you buy from me so that you can sit in and watch me work on them during one of my weekly streams! All my streams are also recorded, so it comes with the benefit that work on your piece will be re-watchable. Pending on my waitlist, this can function as giving a bit of priority over other commissioners... unless there are more people wanting their commissions streamed and recorded than not, in which case it may end up making you wait longer. That said, just because you are holding this tier does NOT mean you need to wait for your piece to be streamed! it merely gives the option.

I'm aware that due to time zones, my current streaming time ( 5pm -10pm PST) is not good for a lot of schedules, but pending on my own schedule, i may be able to change the starting time for the friday streams to something that suits customers better!

- The 20% Discount of the $5 tier will be removed! 20% is an awful lot, and after the commission price hike, would be unfair to myself to keep this in effect. The highest discount you'll be receiving will be the 10% one from the $3 tier and onward.

Commission Reopening
====

I know a lot of people have been waiting for this. Once March rolls around, Commissions will be officially reopened! By then, i should have a visual aid up and ready for you guys to look at for the prices, but if you need to know now, keep reading!

Keep in mind that i charge per figure, meaning every character and/or body i draw is going to be charged for.

Bust (Head+shoulders): $10 per figure.
Waist/Thigh High: $20 per figure
Full Body: $30 per figure

Flat Color: Ranges from Free to $5 per figure, pending complexity of the character's features/outfit (ie. if their outfit is complicated or colorful, it will incur a charge)
Backgrounds: Solid color or blended background is free. Large background props (couches, buildings) range from $5 to $20 pending complexity

Small Props (food, for example): Free to $2 each, pending complexity

Disembodied (ghost) hands: $3 each

Chibi Face bubbles: $3 each

Text: Free (if simple and supplied) to $2, (if i have to write/edit it.)

Also, pending on the subject material and other factors, further charges may apply. Those will definitely be discussed.

I'm also considering other options, such as sketch alternatives and even YCH (your character here) bases so people can get reduced prices, since i'm well aware the price hike is a tad steep, and i do want to keep a level of accessibility. It depends on what i have time to do this month. Stay tuned for info on that!
