Next month will be the first anniversary of this Patreon, so we believe this may be the right time to update the tiers based on what we have learned since we started last year. Despite our efforts, this has proven to be much more difficult than we thought. We may have been a little too optimistic about being able to properly balance the rewards with the comic itself, and despite the help many of you have been willing to give us, we're still investing more time on rewards than comic pages. So, to loosen up the work load, we have to change some of the current tiers in order to offer more achievable rewards, which we can discuss in the comments before we apply the changes next month.

Nothing is decided yet, but here you have the overall ideas we currently have:


Yellow Feather tier: $2 - $3

Same reward, but now the early access is one month ahead of the public, instead of a week.


Green Feather tier: $5

Same reward, but now you will get access to the Discord server, where you can be in contact with us and where we'll be sharing things like new pages, WIPs, previews and extras.


Rose Feather tier: Discarded.

Despite of how fun it is to make pencil sketches, it makes everything kind of confusing and just adds up to how complicated it is to keep track of every request. Despite this, we're still willing to send all originals from October to December. They may not be 6 as we were hoping, but we'll still be including a surprise in the package. We'll be contacting you later for further details.


Blue feather tier: $10

Same reward, but now with more limitations. We want to make this monthly to compensate the downgrade, but we're still not sure if this will be possible. We may do some experiment first before we decide, but in general, it's likely we'll have to limit the art requests to just headshots and black and white sketches for full body. All artist will keep participating.


Dark magic feather: $20

No changes. Physical copies of the comic are still a complicated matter with the pandemic still going, though Patreon's new reward system could be a nice alternative if any of you is interested in SL based products.


Light Magic feather: $50

No changes. We'll just be clarifying more about the special package this tier includes.


We hope this changes can help us improve our health, as well as investing more time in the comic itself.

All is open for changes, so we invite you to help us decide by discussing this post. Thank you very much for staying with us up to this point ❤️


Sincerely,

Fennecsilvestre


P/S: Patreon is not letting me log in through any of my browsers, so here I am at snail speed on the mobile version, unable to post the WIP of the next page. Hopefully that gets solved by tomorrow.

What exactly are SL based products?

For the $20 tier, we could offer stickers, though if we increased the tier to $25 we could also offer mugs and tote bags, and if to $30, it could also be posters and t-shirts (based on Patreon's recommendations at least). Patreon just started offering that option by a percentage of the earnings. We would go into more specific details in case this does happen. By any case, we would be using already made artwork, as well as creating some new designs for those products. We're still not completely sure of how it all works, but if you are interested, we'll investigate further.

Sounds like something that could be interesting. I wouldn't mind further investigations into the idea.

Sounds good! We'll do some testing with these changes first and then update the higher tiers to include the products in case this seems to work. Thank you very much for letting us know.

Thanks for the heads up! I went ahead and switched my plan so I wouldn't forget later.

No problem! The new green feather tier hasn't been created yet though, so tier you just switched to will be deleted along with the one you were previously on (as Patreon doesn't allow us to change the value of each tier, we have to create a new one from scratch :c ) We were waiting a bit before doing anything to see what patrons think, though if you agree with the changes, we can start creating those new tiers, so the change isn't so abrupt. You can either change again in a moment or wait until October, when we have to delete the old version of the first three tiers. Wither way, thank you so much for all your support! We'll keep doing our best <3

Experiment and tester is always something great to do, try always think in something that will help all you guys to don't overwork too much, think about what could be better and faster. Any questions, I'm always available for talk and everything. Keep it up ♥♥
