Changes coming to my Patreon! (Patreon)

hello loves!

okay, so this is gonna be a big comprehensive post about my Patreon moving forward. I think it's fair to say that things are a bit awkward at the moment, at least that's how I've been feeling. ^^;; please read through everything if you have any questions. 

I'm going to pause any billing for the month of March just to give you all time to adjust, change, or leave based on what you'd like to do. and also to give myself time to revamp my page and properly implement changes. here's what my tiers will look like moving forward starting in April:

-$1 and $10 tiers will be deleted

-monthly wallpapers and postcards will no longer be rewards

-$5 will be the only tier on my Patreon and will include the following:

monthly sketchbook compilation

process vids/screenshots

works in progress

-I may or may not continue the Patreon podcast moving forward; I'll evaluate it based on engagement and interest. my intention was to try it out for a month and see how I felt about it.

also, if you are currently part of the $10 tier and want to continue pledging here's what you can do: 

if you want the February 2020 postcard, make sure to pledge $10 during this month. as long as you pledged $10 this month you will receive the February postcard. even if you change your pledge this month from $10, you are still recorded as having pledged $10 on Patreon

if you'd like to remain a patron and are currently in the $10 tier, simply change your pledge the $5 tier before the end of February

the reasoning behind all this is to focus on quality rather than quantity and to avoid spreading myself too thin. the beauty of patreon is that all of my old posts and downloadables will still be available and accessible for you to enjoy as long as you're a patron. I have a feeling that our community will be smaller and quieter on here after these changes and that's ok! in a way I'm excited for that and for the chance to build something new with you all. ^^ 

one more thing, an update on the January postcards: 

I haven't forgotten! my envelope printer/manufacturer has my order backordered. they keep pushing back the shipping/production time, which is frustrating. I usually have postcards shipped out mid-month and I don't know if that'll be possible right now. I've placed a different order for envelopes in the meantime in hopes that they'll ship them out sooner. thank you for your patience and I'll keep you updated once any changes occur! one way or another I WILL ship out your postcards. 

ok! phew! i think that's everything! thanks so much for reading to the end if you did! any questions about changes will be redirected to this post if it's already been answered. thanks so much for being here, let's start a new chapter together. <3
