Potential Changes (Patreon)

I've been kicking around some potential adjustments to my Patreon here, but wanted to consult you, my loyal supporters, before I did anything about it.

1. Changing to an "up front" payment method.

At present, patrons are not billed when they first join, but on the first of the next month. This effectively gives folks a grace period to check out the Feed and see if what I'm doing is worth their time and money. This appeals to the me that comes from a webcomic background, but does result in a number of people who cancel their subscription before they get billed and so get "free access." Which kinda sucks for me trying to make a living here. Changing to an up front payment method would charge new patrons when they first join and then at the beginning of the month going forward.

2. A high resolution tier.

A lot of creators post high resolution or even .psds of their work to their Patrons. I'm not comfortable sharing my .psds with folks, but if there would be interest from you all in gaining access to print resolution copies of my work that's a thing I could get behind. This access would come in the form of its own tier, and as well as becoming a perk of the Lifeguard tier.

I do not think either of these changes would negatively impact any of my existing patrons, but before it's important to me to make sure you all approve of any changes to this Patreon. So, if you've any thoughts, please share them in the comments below.

And thank you for all your support. You make this possible.
