Tracking and Updates all taking place on Discord!

Hi there, to keep things organised, my Patreon tracking is all going to be taking place on Discord from here out. That includes who's involved in sketchpages, whose bi-monthly rewards are up for grabs, etc etc. If you haven't already, be sure to link your Patreon with Discord so that you can stay connected!

May billing paused!

Hey everyone, just as a heads up, moving to a new place has taken up a LOT more time and energy than I was expecting. Since it's already nearly the end of April, I'm going to pause May's billing so that I can ensure that I don't start building up a massive backlog of Patreon work.

Thanks so much for your patience, and I hope to get back to you soon with wonderful inspirational pieces from my new workspace.

February Sketchpile - "VALENTINES"

Hope you've all had a wonderful February. Alone, together, apart, however you are. I hope it was a wonderful chance to feel loved by those around you (As well as eat copious amounts of chocolate).

March's sketchpile is going to be birthday themed! Come by on March 2nd for a special birthday stream!!

January Sketchpile - "NEW YEAR"

Thanks so much for joining me in creating this lovely display for the new year. Have a great 2023 everyone.

Next month's sketchpile oughta be something February themed! Feel free to offer suggestions here or in my Discord DMs. See you then!

Winter Sketchpile - "COLD"

Thanks so much for the continued support over these few months. Here's November-December's drawpile, "Cold"!

This upcoming month's drawpile will be "New Year". OCs doing new things, new year's celebrations. It's Year of the Rabbit after all!

Hibernation @ -@;;

Hey all, thanks for your support. My sincerest apologies about being so slow this month, I think I'm going to pause the billing cycle this December, as I am very much in a state of hibernation at the moment. Whilst my mood is still pretty high, my energy to actually do things is at an all time low. I don't feel it fair for me to keep charging my Patrons whilst I'm in a fatigue state, so for the time-being, I'll be putting a pause on billing, hopefully only until January.

This DOES mean that since the patron drawpage for this month isn't completed yet, when I do eventually get around to that, we can have maybe a winter theme for it!

Thanks again for your understanding, and I'll see you all when I eventually wake up from this slumber.

PAYPAL ALERT - MOMENTARY BILLING PAUSE

Hey all. Unfortunate news. Out of nowhere Paypal decided that now would be the time to permanently restrict access to my account. As of such, I'm going to have to pause billing for december so Paypal doesn't hold onto any upcoming payments. Until I get this fixed, I'm going to be putting a pause on December's billing process. I'll keep you updated on whether or not I'll be able to offer rewards next month.

UPDATE: I've managed to create a new Paypal, though Patreon will be blocking payments for the next 5 days whilst things settle. Really wish I didn't have to deal with this, but here we are. When something gets old (like an 11 year old Paypal account) it tends to break sometimes. Ah well.

Benefits Tracking - November '22 + Start of a new system!

Hey all, time for the new system! With this, we've got 3 tiers to track rewards for instead of 2 now.

This month's Sketch-pages will include:
Max
Dray
Joey
Pyrodrgn
Barrey

This month's Sketch rewards will include:
Dray (Holdover from the previous system)

This month's Full rewards will include:
Nobody!

Next month's Sketch rewards will include:
Pyrodrgn
Barrey

Next month's Full rewards will include:
Nobody!

Thanks everyone for your continued support. As a sneak peek on the next feature, I'll be figuring out how to involve in-streams in my weekly art streams. Full commissions will be done off-stream unless the commissioner specifies, and I'll be doing lower-quality art pieces at a reduced price for anyone that shows up to the stream! Keep an eye out for this hopeful addition to my repertoire!

Tiers have been updated!

Hey everyone! I've updated the tiers to reflect this months proposed changes. Any ongoing support benefits of this month will still tick into the next month, So Dray will still be receiving a sketch commission next month, for example. After that though, everything should be shuffled over into the new tier system, sketch pages included!

Thanks again for your support xxx

October Sketchpage!

Thanks all for your continued support! I'll be updating the patreon tiers later today. £5.50 and up will receive monthly sketchpage rewards, as a staple!

Potential Tier Change Ideas

Hey all! I believe I have an idea for shuffling around my Patreon Rewards as a result of my comm price increases.
Ultimately I think I will be keeping the prices of each tier the same, but I shall be changing the rewards that will be received for each tier.

I would like to add Sketchpages as a monthly reward! At the start of every month, I would stream creating a Sketchpage containing small sketches for everyone who pledged as a sketch supporter or higher. These would be completely separate from commission rewards, and I would send out full resolution sketches to everyone involved. These would be very small and of lower quality than my usual sketch commissions, but ultimately would be a tangible benefit for those that would like to support me more.

As for tier-specific changes...

-Tip Jar: Will remain the same, and I will be sure to send you a thank you message should you pledge to this tier

-Sketch Supporter: Will also receive a thank you message, and would gain access to the monthly Sketchpage! However, I will be moving the discounted sketch commissions from this tier to the tier above. You would still gain a tangible benefit from the sketchpage each month.

-Friend of Dog: Will receive a thank you message and sketchpage access. The full colour shaded artwork would be replaced with a monochrome shaded sketch commission every two months. However...

-A new tier!: I would make a tier above Friend of Dog, and will add bi-monthly full colour commissions to this tier as well. I may also consider additional benefits, such as getting more than one sketch on the sketchpage or something similar.


Feedback is appreciated! To help with this potential transition, some time this week I'll be streaming a Sketchpage involving all of my current patrons. This post will also be public to gain feedback from others who might be considering becoming a patron in the future.

Thanks again for your continued support!

IMPORTANT: Benefits Tracking - October '22 + Price Update

Hello all! Thanks for your continued support. I have an important update to do with the current financial status of the UK. 

Currently, the UK is experiencing a cost of living crisis. With everything happening recently, the price of the £ has tanked, causing a strain on everyone living in the UK financially. As a result, I've changed my commission prices to reflect both an increase in self worth and keeping up with the cost of living in the UK. 

My Tiers are £1.40 for tipping, £5.50 for sketch rewards, and £13 for illustrated rewards. As it stands currently, gaining art every 2 months for £11(monochrome shading sketch) and £26(full colour shading lines) respectively feels like it's a bit too cheap in comparison to the £35 and £55 that my art is currently listed as. Since this month is a new cycle for art, I feel that now is a good time to address this.

As it stands everyone who is currently getting art will still get art this month at the usual discounted price. In the coming months (likely starting next month) I need to decide whether to increase the delay between rewards, change the quality of the rewards, or increase the prices/make more of the reward tiers. I'll probe for some feedback on twitter and within friend circles, with everyone who's currently pledged being my priority. I want to make wonderful things for you all, though I hope you understand that this requires me being able to sustain myself and making my prices fair.

This post will be public for the sake of spreading the word on my current situation. Thank you all for your understanding.

As normal, the tracking for this cycle is!

This month (October '22):

Sketch rewards: Joeysparks
Full rewards: Pyrodrgn, Barrey

Just a heads up that I've changed my online name for myself from Wulf to Dawn. I'm still the same person, just changing things up a bit!

Benefits Tracking - June '22

Happy pride month folks! This month sees the first slight change in the rewards, as I've made an alteration to my commissions pricing found here: https://trello.com/c/3GKGldj6/1-commission-prices

To keep in line with the updated commission prices, backgrounds won't be included in the reward prices, but you do get 25% off of the price if you wish to add a background to your piece. Simple backgrounds cost £7.50, and complex backgrounds cost £15. For now, this only applies to your Patreon reward. Thank you for your continued support!

Sketch rewards: Joeysparks

Welcome to my Patreon!

Welcome all! Starting out my Patreon as best as I can! If you're interested in supporting me, feel free to start a pledge whenever you want! I currently don't have many benefits outside of general support for the initial tier, though if you're interested in getting more content out of my Patreon, feel free to sign up for the higher tiers.

I'll be updating my Patreon as I go along and get more organised. I'm still new at this, but hopefully I can make something amazing out of it!
