IMPORTANT CHANGES TO THIS PATREON!

Hello!  This is a cross-post from Discord on the changes that are now LIVE <3  
Discord permission integration is currently in the works. 

Which Tiers Are Changing

• Copper - $2: WIPs are being removed from this tier and are being moved up to Bronze tier ($5). You’ll still have access to everything else previously listed, including full-size images (through Discord)
• Gold - $40: The pricing of this tier is being raised from $40 to $100. The reason for this is primarily due to my own commission pricing changing, and I want to continue to offer art-based rewards while also avoiding burnout. This is still a limited tier with spaces currently sold out. If you’re currently pledged at this tier, you can stay where you’re at and still receive the $40 pricing for as long as you’re an active patron, but new Patrons at this tier will fall under the new pricing. I’m going to be “unpublishing” this tier and republishing a new version with the updated pricing, so you can stay where you’re at, no action needed! Patrons that pledge at the new $100 Gold tier will now get to choose between a full-body lineart drawing OR a sketchy painted bust of your character every month.

Which Tiers Are Going Away

• Platinum - $100: This tier as it is currently written is going away, and the name “Platinum” is going to be repurposed for a higher level tier. Patrons ( Cole :) )currently pledged at this tier can stay where they are and still receive rewards, but this tier is being unpublished. The short version is that perks at this tier are being pieced out and moved to other new tiers, but there will be no impact to patrons currently pledged at this tier. You will still receive what you pledged for as long as you don’t change your pledge.

New Tiers That Are Being Added

• Ruby - $25: This is a brand new tier that I have future plans for as well. Right now, you’ll get everything included in all previous reward tiers as well as first dibs on commission slots. In the future, I plan to implement a monthly sticker club for this tier, as well as a monthly INPRNT discount code, but I’m just not there yet. Still, if you’d like to pledge to me at this tier as an economical way to support me and still get some cool perks, I thought this would be a nice price point!
• Platinum (NEW) $1,000 - This was the previous name of my $40 tier but I’m repurposing the name to stay on my precious materials theme to offer a brand new *ultimate* tier which includes: Up to 10 hours of work from me in your choice of style, 1 30-minute consultation Discord call per month with me to help you with art or worldbuilding (as requested), and 1 free print/month through an INPRNT discount code. Future plans for this tier will include a 25% discount code, but this will only be implemented when I actually have merch available. I am also working on adding some Discord rewards for this tier, so stay tuned! This tier is ideal for clients who want a lot of art and/or a lot of worldbuilding assistance, which I love providing!

Future Plans

In addition to these tier changes, I am also going to stop doing monthly downloadable art packs. The reason for this is it takes a significant amount of time for me to put these together, and I’m trying to shift my focus to be primarily about creating art and less on “admin work” and I found myself routinely falling behind. All of the high resolution images can already be found on my Discord, it just won’t be zipped up into an art pack going forward.  All future art posts will be pinned to their respective channels for easy viewing.

However, I’m working on catching up with my previously owed art packs and will post them to Patreon.

As previously mentioned, I also would like to get into making merch and offering merch (like stickers) and discounts as part of pledge rewards, but that is something I am still working on. I’ll be sure to announce when I have news to share on that front!

What You Need to Do

If you’re currently pledged at a tier and like the rewards you’re currently receiving, there’s nothing you need to do! Most if not all of these changes will only impact future patrons, as the previous tiers will be unavailable/not visible to new patrons and will not affect your current reward status and pricing.

While these changes were designed to help me stay on top of my workload, be more efficient, and avoid burnout, above all I want to make sure you’re not inconvenienced in any way. However I should note that if you decide to move tiers, you will not be able to re-pledge to any of the unpublished tiers as they once were, so please keep that in mind if you decide to make any changes!

I’m working to have these changes go live the first week of November.

Thank you so much for your understanding! And as always, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about these changes or your personal rewards. My goal is to make sure these changes don’t negatively impact you at all, so I’ll be happy to clear anything up if you have concerns.
