IMPORTANT UPDATE - Please Read! (Patreon)

You may have noticed that new art isn't coming out as frequently as it used to - after repeated bouts of arm pain, my doctor has since advised me to minimize the use of my drawing arm to prevent stress injury or worse complications. I can and will still be drawing, but only as much as I'm cleared for.

To make sure everyone gets what they paid for this month, I'll be adding all currently funded art to https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DMUzjFTBeP_txU1tRi43FxaONDKctoS-?usp=sharing in addition to patreon! This is the same link/folder where psds and linework are being uploaded to right now. After the month is over, the psds and linework will be removed, but funded art from September will be added, regardless of when it gets finished.(Reminder - as I mentioned in previous updates and my front page, I'll be pausing art production from October through December 2021, but all funded artwork from September will still be completed and uploaded to patreon + the drive ASAP during that time! That said, no new art will be funded from pledges made from October through December, and I will restart production on January 1st, 2022. I may still make art during that time if I'm able, and I'll post updates to patreon and twitter if anything changes.)

(Please update your pledge(s) accordingly!)

Finally - after going over things again, the minimum pledge change from $1 to $2 will be pushed back to December 1, rather than October 1st. Price-per-piece will also be raised a little to fit in line with commissions, since I want to offer comms but also make it fair for everyone. Again, the pledge change will apply to people who are not currently patrons and people who cancel. People currently pledging $1/month will not have to change immediately, but the minimum pledge will become $2 for all patrons in around 6 months or so.  As stated in the August 3 update, "this change is because of the high platform+service fees, which take a big bite out of $1 subscriptions. If my estimates are correct, it's better for you and me if a person pledges $2 every other month instead of $1 every month. More money = more art, so if that's what you're paying for, that's where it should go - not patreon's pocket."

A PSD+linework tier will be coming soon as well - I'll keep you all updated!

added this portion today: "(Reminder - as I mentioned in previous updates and my front page, I'll be pausing art production from October through December 2021, but all funded artwork from September will still be completed and uploaded to patreon + the drive ASAP during that time!

So are you pausing taking funds starting October? If not, does this still mean current $1 patrons who leave will have to pay $2 to come back?

So during "off" months, the patreon works like a standard "tip jar", and grants access to all of my unreleased art. Since I've been so low on time, i added the drive link so anyone who was a patron can still get the full res art from the month without having to stay subbed while I work on it. The pledge minimum will change from $1 to $2 for anyone who isn't a patron on Dec 1 - and will eventually be $2 for everyone at some point later in 2022 (the exact date depends on a lot, but it'll definitely be AFTER June). I talked about my reasoning for the switch in a few previous updates, and the tl;dr is patreons payment+fees make it so everyone gets more for their time and money if the minimum is $2 for a month, even if a person pledges the same total amount in a year.

Here's a full copy/paste directly from the August 3rd update: August 3 (part 2): After looking through my pledge amounts and going over the numbers, I have decided to make the minimum pledge for new patrons $2 USD instead of $1, starting in October. This is because of the high platform+service fees, which take a big bite out of $1 subscriptions. If my estimates are correct, it's better for you and me if a person pledges $2 every other month instead of $1 every month. More money = more art, so if that's what you're paying for, that's where it should go - not patreon's pocket. I'm also working out a few more tiers for patrons who want linework, art files, and things like that. I'll post more as I figure it out.
