I added a new 800 yen subscription tier. This will eventually become the tier required to see artwork early but NOT YET. I still only upload around 3 images a month due to commission work, so I don't feel it's worth it to make the switch now. This year will be my LAST year for working on commissions in the background. And afterwards I will no longer be taking on anymore so I can focus on making my own content, uploading more often, as well as working on larger projects that I have in store (ie comics and animations). Once I finish all of my current commission work, then I will move onto using the 800 yen tier as the standard. I WILL make an announcement when that's gonna happen.


The reason for me making a larger tier is because Fanbox only deals in yen, and right now the value of the yen is continuing to plummet as time goes on. When I first signed up for this site, 100 yen was worth just short of a dollar, making my 500 yen tier worth essentially just shy of $5 a month. Now 100 yen is valued at around 65 cents, meaning despite having many more supporters than I used to have, I'm still making barely more than what I did starting off. In fact one of my largest months ever in terms of supporters, I actually made LESS money because the yen tanked in value a little extra that month.


So for now, the 800 yen tier will just sit there, only being useful for people who feel like being generous. But in the future (when I upload more often) it'll become the new standard tier.

I don't mind switching over to the new tier now tbh. I want you to feel compensated for all these months of sharing your work with us. But the commission announcement?! Big shocker. If I could be honest I'd love to hire you for a comm as a one last hurrah before you go out. I understand the decision to make this move though. It leaves a better state of mind in the end. Keep up the excellent work King. I'll be switching over now.

If you plan to basically go and work on your own stuff, more artworks a month, plus comics and other projects I will definitely be going to the 800 tier. You srt is so good and very unique and I don’t mind paying more

If you can keep up the commitment of more frequent uploads then sure, I'll up my payment. Seems fair to me
