CHANGES AHEAD! - starting new year (Patreon)
Content
I will be applying some changes here concerning Patron rewards for pledges starting from January 2018! I want to specify them here and now so people have time to think and accomodate with them. I will be reminding about them on December, so everyone remembers (in case they want to resign from pledging or move to a different tier).
1. I noticed most of poeple consider the 1$ tier as a tip jar, and I shall do it too. Along with the Patreon and paypal fee I really only get about 0,5$ for every 1$ pledged, sadly. And starting January the 1$ tier will also becomse a tip jar with just my deepest thanks for support.
It will however allow You to vote in all polls!
2. The current 1$ reward - sketches, wips and step by step arts will be moved to the 3$ tier. The 2K high res files will still be there.
So the 3$ tier will become somehow the basic pledge :)
3. The 'monthly sketch' for the 35$ tier will really become an ACTUAL SKETCH, no more linearts, but actual sketchy lines :) So be ready for no more detailed linearts. I will be posting some examples of the quality of the sketch before January so everyone can take their time deciding. I ope to enforce this change earlier than on new year too.
4. Changes to the 2 final highest tiers: they will be deleted in the last 1-2 days beofre new year and created anew.
The sketch pledge will start at 50$ (currently it just doesn't pay off for me) and this will give You sketches (Actual sketchy sketches, only for people who truly want to support me rather than just get art from me without having to wait in the queue or for a commission opening. Hence the price. Slots will be limited to the maximum amount of sketches I can make, so probably around 5-6.
The 50$ tier will work as follows: for the first month of support You will get a sketch portrait, second a halfbody and the third You will start getting a fullbody sketch. All the next consecutive months will be fullbodies. If You have a break in Your pledge, You won't be starting over, so You will resume as if You didn't quit.
5. The 100$ tier will be removed or replaced with a different thing. Possibly I will add the Patron vote suggestions there as well as access to all my adoptable bases (with the limit of one per month)
About poll voting:
All patrons get the same amount of votes, as I want all of my supporters to have equal rights in deciding what my art will be, no matter the pledge.
I dream of a day when people will become my Patrons to support my art mainly rather than for the pledge rewards - as some artist manage to do even without any rewards whatsoever ^^" So after a while I will probably delete personalized rewards (the thank You image and the sketch) completely to be able to focus on commissions :)
Thank You a whole lot for Your support and thanks for understanding in advance! I am really happy that slowly I am able to actually believe in making a living of freelancing :) You have my heart <3
