Regarding Patreon rewards
Added 2025-04-03 13:54:22 +0000 UTCI always have trouble writing these kind of posts because I don't know where to start and I'm bad at expressing myself. But lately I've been feeling burnt out, mostly because I'm working on both comic and polls. I'm always anxious about delivering art on time, because I'm a pretty slow artist and doing one colored comic page takes me about 3-5 days. Combine it with the Monthly Poll + Patron-only sketch, it's a lot of work.
Other Patreon artists have told me I'm overworking myself, and they're right. That's why I'd like to make some adjustments starting from May, the problem is I have no idea what to get rid of. I really want to do more comics in the future because they're fun and I want to get better at them, but I'd have to pause either Monthly Poll or Patron-only sketch. I'm already putting Bonus Poll on hiatus since another poll would absolutely kill me lol.
Most of you probably pledged because you want to support me, but would you be fine if I got rid of one of the options? This would obviously affect Astro and Coach tiers the most, so I'm thinking I could offer exclusive merch or something...any feedback is greatly appreciated.

i forgot pressing enter just posts the comment :I anyway I was going to suggest having some flexible wording, e.g. "from one up to two of the following: x comic pages, monthly poll, patron-only sketch"

2025-04-03 16:18:18 +0000 UTCgive yourself some flexibility! i think you should get the chance to work on stuff you enjoy; i'm paying because i love your art and think you should be able to make a living off it, not for anything specific. i'd rather you pick what works best for you

2025-04-03 16:16:57 +0000 UTCI really love your works and that is the reason why I pledged to your patreon. Regardless of the changes, I'm still happy to support you. My suggestion is consolidating the tiers but this would greatly affect other tiers and its rewards similarly to what you said. Consolidating the tiers will lessen the work so less work means you can manage other stuffs in other tiers but more importantly, choose the option that gives you time for yourself and what you think is best.
