Rare Shama Update!

 Hello Everybody! I apologize for the lack of content over the last two weeks, it's been busy for me to say the least. I'm working on 3 things so I hope to have at least 2 of them done before the 25th. Why the 25th you ask? Well, I'm going on holiday for a week! Wahoo!
But that's not what this update is for, what I want to talk about is the changes I have planned for the pay sites and the stuff I offer. On the 24th this month I will be pausing the payments for both pay sites for a month whilst I implement changes and finish off some outstanding work, hopefully ready to return in November to take some more commissions! 

The changes I'll be making are as follows:

• The BIGGEST change is a new tier below the current tiers,  this tier will be £2 / $2.50 and be exclusively for access to finished art and Alts. This tier will not give commission opportunity like the other tiers, will not allow poll voting, and will not show wips and sketches that are seen on discord.

Current tiers will remain the same! so don't worry if you like your tier.

• New artwork for the pay sites, specifically for the tiers, and welcome art where applicable. The tiers will also be renamed to; "flat snack (tier 1), big stack (tier 2), and Breakfast Buffet(tier 3), They're supposed to be pancake references. (Thanks to the VIPs for helping me come up with them)
  
• For the highest tier, changes to the way polls work. submissions will now be limited to one image only and maybe a couple of alts if wanted.

I currently spend a lot of time on poll images right now (mainly my own fault admittedly) and I'd rather spend more of that time working on commissions.

• Polls will now be moved to start at the very beginning of the month starting from December, instead of the 15th as it is currently, this is so I have more time to do poll winners in time for events they're related too like Christmas and Halloween!
  
• I'm thinking of having regular polls voting on the poll themes , held now on the pay sites  instead of discord. I will perhaps have a themed poll every other month outside of special polls (like Christmas and Halloween polls).

I will still have an animation poll when I don't have any animations queued.

• The discord will have a new channel exclusively for my finished art since I foolishly don't have one.
  
• And finally (if I haven't forgotten anything) I'm changing up the goals on the pay sites to give some rewards for increasing subscription. these include bringing back the option for the second page in the polls, and a more regular animation poll which would likely be every 3 months. (Maybe even a goal allowing VERY limited animation commissions!) this would be doable thanks to guaranteeing less time at work , so more time for art!

And I think that's everything! Since people wanted the October poll over the November poll, I will still be posting the poll during the billing pause, I know this is possible with Patreon, and I can't find anything saying otherwise for Substar, but if not then uhhhh join the discord!  (So the November poll will be skipped in place of the Halloween themed October poll)
I want to thank you all for your continued support! It means a great deal to me that I am allowed to do this in the way I do thanks to all of your help! Thank you!
