Update - 28/07/2020 (Inc. Patreon, Livestream Update) (Patreon)

Okay guys, I'm just sifting through a whole bunch of stuff right now, so I will try to make this as short as possible, while keeping the details.
Prepare to watch me fail at that. xD

Livestream Format

Okay, I guess the first one to address is the monthly livestreams.
As you know, a few months back I shifted the livestream requests from the $5 Tier to the $10 Tier in order to combat (hopeful) future patrons, and an expected rise in sketch requests.
The rise to the $10 Tier (where I swapped it with the Pinups, which is now $5 Tier), was based on the notion that less people would support me at $10 a month compared to $5 a month, and thus buy some time while I could figure something else out - given that the max sketch count was constantly being hit most of the time.

That said, last weekend's stream hit 9 sketches, meaning I am currently dancing with the Devil here (we're dancing the tango because he's hot).

So, I've had to come up with a solution, and the best solution so far is to change how I do the livestream requests altogether - by having a limited number of characters, while still allowing my $10+ patrons to pitch requests.
My solution? Turn it into a collaborative art piece where a theme is decided, and a character or characters drawn, with patrons pitching how, where, etc! :3

Of course, this is still a draft idea for the most part, the idea only coming to me a few days ago.
So... this is what I am going to do.
Starting with August, I will be giving this format a test-run. It will be divided up into two phases:

1. A poll is set up at the start of the month, with options for a theme. Anyone on the $10 Tier or higher can then vote on which theme they want for the stream.

2. During the livestream, the floor will be opened to my $10 patrons as to what characters/poses/situations/etc I will draw, and I will implement them (or select one or some if there are different/too many ideas) - all during the livestream! :3
Basically, it will be like a collaboration of ideas!
At this time, it may be that it will only show me sketching the art, rather than completing the full colour version - my computer may not actually like it.
So it will be sorta like the livestreaming you are used to, in a way! :3

Anyway. This is a trial, a test - so we'll see how it works out, and see what else can be implemented into this. :3

Patreon Update

There are some elements of Patreon I have been pondering about for a while.

Post Banners (such as the one at the beginning of this post)

One is the fairy - that is, she isn't really related so much to my broader work (currently), and might seem a little out of place (this was also a similar reason to my tier title changes).
In addition, I want to update the post banners as well, as the fairy is part of old art from a slightly older style.
I haven't figure out what to replace her with yet, if I choose to go down that route.
I might possibly just use my fursona. :3

Tier Titles

I know I updated these recently (in terms of page updates), however the whole part about kindergarten through to school, high school, etc kinda sits in a weird place.
True, it works if you consider both Tarri's Day and Tarri's Day Adventures, however it also applies to you guys, the patrons.
So you guys are in Primary School? Or Kindy? It might come across as a bit weird and not... universal, I suppose.
So I have been pondering changing the titles, at least. I may keep the imagery and label it differently, or I may come up with a more universal system, maybe.
I haven't figured that one out, yet.

I think that is all for now on the big stuff... now for the typical updating.

Comics

Given I am using this week to complete stuff, I cannot forecast any comics released this week.
If things go well, the new month will have comics more or less settle back into place.

Art Elections for July

This is the last reward for July. I have yet to start, but it is something to be worked on this week (included in the aforementioned "using this week to complete stuff").

I think that might be all for now...
