Hello everyone! I'd like to take a moment to outline some changes coming to this patreon very soon. If you have any thoughts on this, I'd love to see your comments.

Weekly Format switchup

I've realised that doing weekly illustrations and the occassional animation isn't all that fun. It's not a complete chore either, but I'd like for this Patreon page to represent work I'm passionate about. So, I will be switching up the format a bit.

Every other week will feature an illustration poll, with suggestions provided by higher tier patrons. Much like last week's animation poll. The remaining two weeks of the month, I will present a poll based on a more long term project. This project will change over time, but expect things like short comics or sequences featuring my characters, or choose-your-own-adventure style content.

This format will begin next week! I hope you look forward to it.

New pledge tier & requests change

I will be introducing a new pledge tier for 15$ at the start of April and sketch requests will be migrating to this new tier. With this, the sketch requests will also become equivalent to my 1-hour live commissions. It's also worth noting that it's 5$ cheaper than my actual commission rates, so consider it a monthly subscription to a live commission, at a discount. Naturally the requests for March will continue as usual for all 5$ patrons.

Here's some examples of what they may look like:

That's it for this update. Thank you all again for your continued support, and I hope you like these upcoming changes! Have a good one!

That all seems like pretty sensible changes. $5 sketches do feel quite cheap by your quickly increasing standards.

If you wait until April, ie after we've paid for another $5 payment, I think the idea is that you'll have to continue the $5 sketches next month and won't be doing the $15 sketches until May. I'm cool with you introducing the $15 tier right now. I'll increase my pledge before the end of March and get a $15 sketch in April. If you want to give patrons some time to adapt, perhaps make both the $5 and $15 tiers available in April, and withdraw the $5 tier just before the beginning of May. Did that make sense?

What's the correct way of going about this if we'd like to sign on to the new $15 tier and are migrating from the $5 one? :)

Good question. You can at any point after the month shift (April 1st and onwards) up your pledge to match the new honey tier. After some consulting, in the end I settled on 20$ for this tier. So once you upgrade, you will be charged the difference for that month, so 15$ in total, and the subsequent months after that you'll be charge the full amount of the tier you're on as usual. You can upgrade at any time, just make sure to do it after the month shift, so I'd say wait 12h or so from the time of this reply. It's just I don't know which timezone the Patreon servers go by, so might as well be cautious and make sure it's April all around the world first.
