 Hello friends, as you might have noticed, I've changed the way I deliver the rewards a little bit.

TL,DR:

From now on, instead of waiting until I gather a bunch of pics to post them as an "art-pack", I will be posting new pics (and the rewards) as soon as they are done.

Continue if you want more info on why I'm making this change.

 With this change I'm hopping to be able to be more productive, and also focus more on creating stuff I think is cool instead of trying to catch up with an specific amount of pictures per "pack".

 With the old format I was always worried if I would be able to finish the pack in time for delivering, if I decide to create a more complex picture that would take me double the amount of time than a normal picture, I would end up thinking "ok, this took much longer to finish than usual, now I need to do something simpler, or I will delay the pack again", and I would inevitably get delayed again, and next month things would repeat.

 The truth is, I love drawing and painting, I do it all the time almost every day, I do not feel burnout and I want to keep drawing, I have a bunch of ideas I want to put on paper,  but this old format made me constantly anxious and worried about schedule and "value per pack" and all these organizational things that have nothing to do with creating art, it was actually removing a lot of the joy I take on drawing/painting.

 So that's the gist of it, in general nothing will change much, polls will be done monthly as usual, the content and amount of pics I create per month will stay the same, I'm just simplifying my format of delivering so I'm not constantly rushing to catch up anytime some more complex picture take longer to finish than I expected.

 Please feel free to ask any questions below, and thanks a lot for the understanding and support! I got some cool pics almost finished that I will be posting soon ^^

Cheers!

This sounds like a great idea! Especially if it can lower your stress so that you will feel more joy in your creations!

Sounds like a fine change, can you make sure to give a unique tag to posts with the 'rewards' that would have been in a 'pack' previously? Just something so it's easy to filter and make sure you've gotten everything. Personally, I tend to prefer packs because it's binary, either I remembered to grab it, or I didn't, but I can understand how it'd be easier and more productive to release as they go. Making it easy for us to make sure we have everything would be appreciated.

I like this plan personally! It's like getting random little treats throughout the month!

Be careful when sharing links to Patreon, there's a very prolific site out there that scalps Patreon pages to rip said content off & share it online for free. It's harder to do that when you privately send packs out (pretty much impossible), but easier with just links. xP

I'm a new patron. Is there an explainer somewhere on how the "pack" system works/worked? For example, do new subscribers get access to old packs? If not, how can a new subscriber get selected old art packs?

Aelyn

Any idea what I should search for there? I tried "Sabs" but got nothing.

Thanks!! I got a copy of Couple at the Field. I'd buy a framed copy if that was available.

I'd suggest pinning something about that so new Patrons can see what's available from the past and how to go about it.
