Changes in tiers and goals.
Added 2020-04-13 22:45:29 +0000 UTCSome of patrons (especially new) sometimes were asking me about my tiers and things that weren't clear, so I've decided to make this post and some changes.
First of all, I've decided that my system of "promising maximum result for each goal" is a big mess. My idea was like this: I'm showing ALL I can suggest for an exact tier, but I'm doing only a part of content that was opened by total support goal. For example - I had a spin-off comic "War of Shadows" suggested for tiers $5+ but the goal for opening it was $800...
Seems it was not clear and looked like a lie :|
That's why all tiers now are showing only what I can do right now.
Second change is refreshing the goals. (Total amount of support of all patrons)
I haven't changed them from 2015, but the time has come. Right now I can't spend all my time for comic and setting because I just can't live getting only ~$100 a month from my patreon. The time and efforts spendings are not equal for this reward. That's why I'm working at commissions and comic like 60%\40% now.
I must add that the lack of total support is not your fault, my dear past and present patrons! I'm very grateful to all of you and your help!
And I'm totally not complaining or asking for more money. No. I just don't know where is the problem, huh... Maybe I must start to draw nsfw for getting thousands bucks a month? :D
p.s. cameos are not deleted.

Честно говоря, мне лень переводить всё, что было написано выше, так что попробую кратко: 1) я изменила тиры, точнее убрала из них то, что не могу делать в данный момент. Почему? Потому, что моя система "я показываю, что максимально могу предложить $х тиру, а делаю только то, что открыто для него общим количеством поддержки" не работала и выглядела будто я только обещаю, а делаю нихуя. В какой-то степени это правильно, я иногда слишком заморачиваюсь.
2) я изменила голы, т.е. общий размер поддержки в месяц, при котором открываются дополнительные опции для каждого тира. Они себя не оправдывали. Да и размер поддержки, к сожалению, на данный момент не равен размеру затрачиваемых мной усилий. Проще говоря, я не могу прожить на сто баксов в месяц и вынуждена больше времени отдавать заказам.
Я ни в коем случае не пытаюсь ныть или упрекать вас, мои дорогие спонсоры в малом количестве кидаемых в меня денег. Я очень благодарна всем вам за поддержку, без неё я рисовала бы горааааздо медленнее. xD

Well you’re defiantly stuck with us as your faithful followers and commissioners for the foreseeable future :)

2020-04-14 00:05:11 +0000 UTCHonestly, you don't need to do it after reading this post)) Especially in this hard corona days :\
2020-04-14 00:01:29 +0000 UTCHonestly, if you do want me to increase my pledge I can. Was planning on putting it back up to the top tier at some point in the future eventually anyway :p. And it’s no secret that I’ve been planning to proposing another commission, so glad to hear your still accepting. But seriously, I can understand. And I can see it’s frustrating. Your work is fantastic, I absolutely love seeing your updates for me it’s always something to look forward to. Sadly it defiantly doesn’t get the support you honesty deserve. There are many on here that seem to get so much for producing rubbish, which isn’t fair as the quality pales in comparison to what you can do, it does actually annoy me as there are a number of artists in the same position as you that are brilliant. But get over looked because they don’t just produce loads of nsfw content with physics defying boobs and just try to milk cash out of people... *grumble* rant over *grumble*. At the end of the day we think you’re brilliant, and you’ll always have our support! Xxx
