Hey everyone! 

First of all I'd like to say thank you to everyone that is supporting me, you're all amazing and have really pushed me to keep drawing and improving! 

I wanted to make this post to let you all know that I'm considering changing the structure of the tiers here on Patreon. This is something I've been thinking about for a few months now, and there's a few reasons why I want to do this;

More clarity

At the moment it seems pretty random what goes up for each tier and and what time, I do have a system that I use but often there's times where I'm not sure which tier to make a picture available for. I'd like it to be more clear when things change. 

Extra content

I'd like exclusive content for the higher tier that isn't just exclusive and early access to pictures. This kind of ties into my first point in the sense I'd be making things more clear which tier would get what perks with each upload.  Some examples of what I'm considering adding would be the art in full resolution exclusively, the PSD layered file, WIP sheets and exclusive alts. Most of you are already supporting me at this level so please let me know if you're interested in any of these! 

Timing structure 

Less time between pictures posted here and publicly. The fact of the matter is pictures leak all time and I can't really complain, it is the internet after all, but it just seems dumb to have a picture that isn't yet available to the $2 tier that's already out there. I still like to give you all exclusive pictures here and that wont change.  

------

Something I'd like to keep is the 2 tier structure, at least for now. Having 5 tiers or something just complicates things and honestly I'd just like to focus more on making drawings for you all, rather than worrying about the rewards for a bunch of different tiers.  

So the main changes will be the perks for each tier, and what I will offer for each. I want to stress that there will be no price increase to the tiers, this is just to make things more simple for myself and you. 

Please send me a message with any feedback for what you'd like to see here, including ideas for what I could offer or just general stuff. I like to try be as transparent as possible with you all and I'll keep you posted on any further updates. 

Thanks again everyone!

-Dross

Would definitely be interested in PSDs/seeing your process! Hell, compared to any artist I've been subscribed to, you must be the most frequent poster already, so these ideas are just a cherry on the cake!

I'm learning to draw - it'd be neat to see how you work. Keep it up!

I was actually curious how many people on here draw too, I could maybe make tutorials down the road if there's interest.

i figured you would want to do this, some of your tiers appeared “hollow” to me. it is good that you want to simplify it all

I've been following you from a distance for a while, and I've greatly enjoyed the quality and scope of your artwork, how it fills a hole in a genre of hentai that continues to be underrepresented. Being able to support an artist who draws delicious soft/sissy yaoi means a lot to me, but I will admit that I chose the $8 option mainly because it looked like that was literally the tier you were putting ALL your posts on, and I would miss something important. If you're saying that isn't the case, then it should be rectified post haste, maybe add a third tier to address some of the issue you bring up in this post, that can be more of a middle ground between "soft" and "softer". I don't want to stop supporting you as soon as I began or anything of the sort, Dross, but I'm also just another Internet denizen trying not to destroy his budget by accident. :u

I would be totally ok with not having any extra benefits. I personally wouldn't mind everything being free except voting in polls and requesting, that's how I'd prefer it, but I can understand if people disagree with me.

Thanks for the input! There are a bunch of sketches that are still exclusive to the $8 tier so not everything will be available at $2. I think the plan going forward will be to make all coloured pictures available to both and keep the sketch and monochrome stuff at $8.

Twitter doesn't have all the pics, Tumblr is gone-o so you might want to edit out that "posted here" stuff, it's misleading. And yes it drives me bonkers when creators don't set down rules for what goes in what tier. (I actually just did the $8 pledge to see what you've got). Money be tight, yo, but it's more the not having any clue what's going to be in the top tier that is a problem.

I really love your drawings, I wonder if you could draw me, I could send you many photos and videos to facilitate your work, if you can just let me know by sending me a message, thank you very much!
