I'm coming back to Patreon! ヽ(o＾▽＾o)ノ (Patreon)

Hello!

Long time no talk and welcome to the first Patreon post after a years-long hiatus! So much has changed since we last met here, I return excited and enthusiastic to create and I'm grateful for that. I was uncertain for a long time whether or not I'd start up Patreon again, many false starts along the road, so being at this point feels surreal in a good way.

My Patreon will be relaunching on June 5. This announcement is coming a month in advance to give you ample time to switch or cancel. If you'd like to switch to my new tier with new rewards, keep reading for more details. If you'd like to cancel your membership, you can do so by following the instructions here. Thank you for being here for any length of time, I'm deeply grateful for the support you've given!

With the relaunch, my Patreon will consist of a single $5 tier called Stardust. Here's a breakdown of what you'll get each month:

✦ Bimonthly sketchbook tours - an intimate look into my sketchbook, sketches, and drawings, shared every 2 weeks

✦ WIPs/BTS/polls - first look at new pieces i'm working on, updates on my new projects, and vote on merch/art/anything else that comes up >:)

✦ Occasional process video - could be a speedpaint, tutorial, livestream, whatever feels right at the time!

✦ Occasional digital downloads - calendars, phone wallpapers, icon packs, and more, currently aiming for one every 2 months

✦ Includes access to all past rewards = 4 years of artwork!

This may change in the future, but I wanted to start with something manageable so as not to bite off more than I can chew. I want to be able to do this for awhile so it's important that it remains sustainable. If you're interested, let's walk through the process of switching your pledge and what you can expect timeline-wise.

Instructions for pledging to the new $5 tier:

I'll relaunch my patreon on June 5. On that day and after, you can switch by pledging to the new Stardust tier. I will delete old tiers on June 15. If you haven't switched by then, this will change your status from your previous tier to no tier. Important: If you don't change your pledge and stay in no tier status, you will still be charged without receiving rewards so make sure to make the change before June 30.

To switch to the new tier on June 5, follow the instructions here.

To prevent overcharging, billing will be paused for the month of June. This stops Patreon from charging on the 1st and will only charge you once when you switch tiers.

I will send out reminder posts 2 weeks and 1 week before relaunch June 5.

Patrons still in no tier after relaunch will be sent reminders to switch.

Whew, that was a lot so thanks for reading through that! This is my first time managing this changeover process so we're learning together in real time. I'm pretty sure I have it figured out, but am anticipating possible hiccups. If you have any concerns, please comment on this post or send me a message on Patreon. I'm sure we can work something out if you need help!

Nerves aside, I'm excited for this transition and that soon we'll be able to communicate more closely on Patreon again! I have so much I want to share with you and I'm very much looking forward to returning to this platform. :o)

Hope you have a lovely week!
