Power / sketch preview + Tiers Updates (Patreon)

A peek at Power's ongoing work.And I have something to tell you, plz read below!

Starting April, I'm lowering the cost of the higher tiers. Particularly Tier3, from $15 to $12. Then MaxTier will adjust slightly accompanying that change.

HOWEVER ( I've just come to find out;;; ) Patreon won't allow changing the price of active tiers anymore. So... I will create now a "Tier Three v2.0" same as old T3 but for $12Please proceed to manually change your memberships from the old T3 to the new T3 v2.0 at your own discretion. The benefits included are exactly the same. Since this is a step-down change in subscription cost, nothing will be charged to you when do it, and your billing cycle remains the same.Same applies to MaxTier patrons. Please look out for a new MaxTier v2.0 at $45 !

This is only a start: the long-term goal is for Tier3 to be set at $10. But I can only do it gradually like this, being mindful of my budget. The next update would be when(if) the total support builds up again to a sustainable-for-life amount. So I'm not making promises, but I am taking this first step, to reach there eventually. Hopefully.

Reasons are a few.Read on for the insights.

There's no denying it takes me longer to finish pieces nowadays than it did 9 years ago when I started in Patreon and set up the tiers as we knew them. Something about age and burnouts combined, I guess? And life demanding energy for other responsibilities. Also, aiming for quality over speed is how I've always done my work, which doesn't make it easier either... But yeah, internally, I can make my peace with what working speed is within my ability now. It's just I don't feel good if it means you're receiving less value for your money — then I aim to gradually fix that part.

Another reason are the recent changes in Patreon's ToS, and understanding it might hurt my art's potential to meet some of your "more explicit" expectations. And myself... I can't see the reason to explore and push my art's boundaries in that direction, when it can turn akin to playing mini-golf over a minefield, going kaboom without much of a warning. So again, I hope to compensate for those limitations by making the Tier3 more accessible to you.Of course this is not saying I'd only draw sfw from now on. For the most part, it should be business as usual, but without the more experimental bits.
