UPDATE: Restructuring - Patron Tiers and Patron Goals! (Patreon)

Hi everyone! I am here again with another State Of Affairs update post! This one's pretty important, so I hope you'll take the time to read through all of it!

Firstly, thanks so much for your support this month! I'm excited to continue working and making comics for you all to enjoy! I have said this before and I'll say this again - times are tough and the world is scary. If you need to divert your pledge to something else more important, please do not feel guilty. I completely understand, and I want you to be safe and secure before you use your money on me and my comics! Please do what's best for you first, always, and take care of yourself.

Now, the main point of this update post. I want to make you aware of some restructuring I've done to this page! I know I do a small sprucing up of my patreon about once a year, so I hope this isn't inconvenient for any of you. This will probably be the last time I switch up my tiers for the foreseeable future, as I feel pretty good about how I've laid things out now!

TIER UPDATE: $1 - Satellite Squad

The $1 tier, which was the base pledge and ONLY tier, is now used as a way to see comic pages as I finish them (basically, early access, which is what you've always gotten at $1). Access to comic pages has always been the foundation of my entire Patreon, so I wanted early comic updates to continue to be the most basic reward you can earn! For any amount, you will always have access to the comics I make.

NEW TIER: $3 - Comet Crew

This tier is going to be for the fans and followers who want to see extra stuff! This is where you will get the monthly sketchbook, the lineart, the process gifs, the WIPs, the sketches, the speed draw videos, the Throwback Thursdays, the Q&As, the livestreams, and more (to be unlocked as we reach more patreon goals!)

This tier is purely extra content that takes me a little more time and effort to share with you all. If you're just here for the comics, then don't worry about tossing in the extra $$! Your $1 pledge will continue to get you all the early updates and comic work I do!

NEW TIER: $30 - Moon Mob

Because I am trying to move away from making most of my money through commissions, and am no longer actively offering commissions, I have added a 4 slot monthly sketch commission tier! These types of commissions are fun and not as intense as the sketchpages I used to offer. If you want me to draw you something every month, this is the place to go! There are only 4 slots currently, but if there is a high demand for them I might add a couple more in the future!

I will also gladly livestream these sketches, too, so if this is something that you're interested in, hop on!

What about this month? I've already been charged!

This month (June 2020) will be treated as normal. I will be posting pages as I always have, I will post extra content, livestreams, and the monthly sketchbook all for $1 patrons, as usual. The new tiers and their rewards will take effect in July, with the exception of the Moon Mob tier*. I'm putting together the sketchbook pdf for you now, and it should be ready to download by the end of today (June 8, 2020).

*If you grab one of the Moon Mob spots, I will do a sketch commission for you starting this month, and every month moving forward as long as you keep that pledge!

Patreon Goals

I've reassessed my monetary situation and what I am able to provide at this time in my life, and have updated my Patreon goals accordingly! You can check out the goals I've laid out for the future, but for now our next goal is $300/month, which will guarantee two BACKLASH pages every week. No more need for skipping or periodically missing updates or having to take hiatuses! On top of that, I'll host a Q&A sketch request livestream for all Patrons at every tier to celebrate this milestone with me! :D

Other rewards that will be unlocked are things like: a BACKLASH discord group, a printed artbook, more merch, a monthly mail goodies tier??? I've got lots of ideas, and I am excited to work on making this page more robust and exciting for all my dedicated friends and fans that have stuck with me all these years!

If you have any feedback or any ideas for milestone rewards you'd like me to implement in the future, I'd love to hear it! Leave a comment or reply or DM me your ideas, if you ever have them! <3

Thank you so much as always for your support and for sticking with me! Thank you for allowing me to work on what I love, and for allowing me to adapt and change with the world and with what my content requires. I will continue working hard to bring you quality stories, characters, and rewards for supporting me through this journey! Thanks so much for reading this beefy update post, I love you, I hope you and your house are safe and healthy.  If you ever need me or think I can help you with something somehow, don't hesitate to reach out to me!
