Hey guys! I briefly mentioned the idea of taking a break from Patreon related stuff a couple of submissions back.

To give myself peace of mind I have paused billing. You will not be charged on March 1st.

I will also be pausing the next billing cycle (April 1st) too - just to give myself a nice long break and to get some feedback from you guys about some upcoming changes:

-----------------------

Upcoming Tier Changes

I am going to be eventually retiring the £1: Just a Tip! tier, and make a new £2 one as an entry point. I've found this is common entry point among many artists who use Patreon. This means if you're in this tier once the changes go into effect, you will be prompted to switch to a new tier or end support.

Ideally I'd like people who are interesting in staying to be able to switch to the future £2 tier without being charged up-front. I am actually not too sure how this works, so if someone can enlighten me in the comments I'd really appreciate it! I am still figuring it all out.

The £3: Supporter! tier will remain as it is for now. So if you're in there, no worries. :>EDIT: I will probably eventually change this to £4 and so I will have the next tier up at £6. Just to keep things evenly spaced. But for now it will stay as-is.

I will be adding a £6: (Name Pending) tier, which will include all previous benefits, plus full-res HD versions of all images I create - on average, these are double the size. I will also give the option for folks to request HD versions of older images if I still have the PSD files for them.

And possible future idea; a Sponsor tier. Details still very much pending, but will be limited slots (maybe 1 to start out), with maybe the opportunity for a guaranteed rough sketch once a month. I am open to feedback if anyone has ideas for tiers!-----------------------

So that's what I'm thinking right now. I want to make Patreon a more significant part of my income and hopefully, maybe one day become a full-time artist.

I will not be making any changes until April. Until then, I'd really appreciate thoughts/feedback in the comments.I will still drop in to post WIPs of things I'm working on so it won't be a complete ghost town around here :>

Cheers guys! Thank you so much for all the support, I appreciate it immensely <3

Honestly, I'm very happy to continue to support you. The $1 always felt like a steal to me for the art you produce, and I'm happy to upgrade to what feels like only a pittance more but I know will certainly add up for you.

Enjoy ur break Boss man Good luck on becoming a fulltime artist

From what I understand a $2 tier gives a much better return for creators vs the cut patreon takes from a $1 pledge, so that totally makes sense (I have my own lowest tier set at $2 for that very reason too). All the other stuff sounds awesome too, and though my budget is limited right now I'll definitely hop up to the $2 tier when available, and keep my eye on that sponsor tier for future times when my budget might allow for me to snag a month! Best of luck with getting more folks aboard, and thanks for all your wonderful work thus far! :3

Name your price, S1m, and I'll pay it -- or at least think about it!

Fen Redwolf

Aww man, that sounds great, the more of your amazing art, the better!

Samadhir

I think it sounds like a pretty good idea. If it could help you becoming a full-time artist, go for it! Also, enjoy your break!

I don't mind the 2 GBP tier 🙃 As for the sponsor tier, maybe I recommend instead of a guaranteed sketch every month, maybe a guaranteed number of sketches for the entire year (say maybe 5-6) or maybe a guaranteed number of colored work for the entire year (say maybe 2-3) or a combination of both. My reasoning for that is that both sides get value. Maybe if you did one sketch a month and the monthly tier is valued below what you commission, then it might become a steal. At the same time, if way above the value, it might not be worth value to the patron (Although, I wouldn't doubt that you'd get some). Maybe you could get away with a sponsor tier slightly above commission value, since the guaranteed drawings is value in itself 🤔 I just hope you'll be able to juggle with guaranteed and commission slots. Hope it works out 🙃

Will you also stop to open commission slots during the same period?

Idea: (large amount teir) gives u a cameo in sexy comic

If you do the Sponsor thing I am gonna be first in line

And a ridiculous “Beyond Sponsor/Benefactor/Lap Dance” level that behaves like Disney’s SpeedPass so we can cut in line for comms! When one opens up it’s closed already! Frustrating!
