PATREON REVAMP (Patreon)

Hey everyone.

After going through the Patreon Rewards Survey  and doing a bit of research on other creators I've come up with a few changes that I’ll be trying out for the next few months. It should make for a better Patreon for everybody.

NEW REWARDS & FEATURES

Early access
Patrons will see finished pieces as soon as they are done, usually a few weeks before public release with only occasional exceptions for timing reasons (such as when a new popular character is revealed).

Guaranteed monthly polls:
Every active month will have a poll to influence the following month's content.

Guaranteed extra versions:
There will always be extra versions of at least one piece per update.

Process steps:
Process video lite.

"Get old $5 and $10 updates" tiers:
For each update you successfully support at one of these tiers you will be granted access to one previous $5 or $10 tier reward. This reward is given after Patreon’s charging period and does not accumulate over the months. I’ll contact you after your pledge has been processed successfully and you’ll have to make your request before the end of that month.

UPDATES

Weighted voting:
The weight of your vote = the amount you supported last month. The more you support the stronger your influence in polls.

Automated Discord:
I'll start using Patreon's Discord bot to simplify things, patrons who stop supporting may be kicked by it unless I find a way around it.

Hi Res leaves $1 and now comes in two levels, $5 Vanilla and $10 Hardcore:
Vanilla will include the less extreme versions of a piece whereas Hardcore will include the more special (futa) and intense versions (such as ahegao, bukakke, BDSM etc).

Hi res was highly valued in the survey and compared to other creators I was really undervaluing my work so I felt like it was important to lift the reward to a higher tier sooner rather than later.

PSD now comes in two levels, $5 Standard and $10 Hi Res:
Standard is the same size as the publicly available pieces.

REMOVALS

Private stream:
Due to lack of patron interest.

As usual, all my artwork will be  publicly available eventually (including all extra versions). The only things exclusive to patrons are the special rewards such as Hi Res, PSDs and process videos.

As for content I'm interested in focusing more on original works (which, in the survey, was surprisingly even more popular than fanart), I'll continue doing fan art but it won't be the main focus any more.

Lastly, I will not update for at least two weeks to give time for everyone to learn about the changes.

Thank you for all the support so far, see ya next update.
