Changes to commissions and tiers on February 29th

Hi all! Can I have your attention for a moment?

My current commissions system is about to undergo some changes.  With an increasing number of followers and supporters each month, the number of people interested in commissions is likely to grow as well. As a one man band there is only so much I can keep up with, so the current commission setup – which allows any patron with a lifetime support of $45 to receive a "free" commission – will on February 29th be changing to a slot based system where the full price is paid up front instead. This is to prevent the amount of commissions coming from piling up too fast and give me some extra space to work on my projects and monthly mini sets. 

All existing patrons of mine at the time of change will keep their chance to build one final $45 commission, no matter what tier, total lifetime support or active/inactive status. That way you don't lose your end of the deal if you were still building for it. I'll notify you when you've used your final $45 commission. And if you're not yet a supporter of mine but want to reserve that commission deal for the future, now would be the time to throw in a quick buck in order to activate the deal before February 29th. 

The following changes will go into effect on February 29th:

• Commission price will increase to $50
• There will be 5 supporter tiers ($1-$30). They will have the same rewards as usual, but won't grant any commissions regardless of amount pledged. Again, this won't immediately affect existing patrons as described above.
• There will be 1 commissions tier with 3 slots ($50). This tier grants all benefits of the supporter tiers, while allowing an image commission as well. The amount of total slots may vary based on several factors.

There's no specific hour for the change, apart from the date – I'll be replacing text and images on my page when it's time. Looking at the tiers will tell you whether or not the change is in effect. I'll probably be flexible enough to just see who comes sliding in under the gate at the last moment and let them in on the deal as well.

Phew, now that that's out of the way, I want to thank you all for following me thus far. I never imagined I would gain much traction given the stuff I make, but it's been incredibly fun to see this little community form around my works! It's fun to share insights and thoughts about my creations, and your questions and opinions – both here and other places – always help me reflect a little extra. I really look forward to seeing what the future brings, and am more than happy to take you along for the ride!  

Hugs and shoulder punches!
