Alright lovelies, 

So I have been working hard behind the scenes, reading over your input and figuring out how I am going to restructure things. Here is what I have got, I will be changing things slowly over this month so we can start in with the new structure right away! 

Here are the new tiers:

Base Tier $2 per month:

-Access to the main comic ~3 months earlier then anywhere else

- At least one entry shared from the Speedpaint sketchbook 

- All stable related commissions(including spin-off comics) on early release (~3 months)

As you can see I am not changing much with this tier, the only real change will be character questions answers will not longer be posted at this level. 

Extended Tier: $5 per month

 -All previous rewards 

-At least one new page of the current back-story/side comic or a concept illustration

(I will be starting with Felicia's backstory in a comic called "Pretty girl" )

- Ability to ask character questions to be answered by the staff

- 1-2 character questions pictures posted each month from your questions.

There is a small increase in price in this tier which I am hoping will fund the extra work required to put out a new illustration or comic page each month.

Behind the Scenes Tier: $10 per month

 -All previous rewards 

- High-rez comic pages/character questions

- Speedpaint sketch book of all my unreleased speed paints and sketches

- Access to a The Stable's discord server where you can hang out with other fans and me.

(This is a completely new thing for me, I will not be online all the time but will check it regularly, I will be happy to answer questions and chat when I am around (unless its about spoilers) but I will not roleplay (although if you want to among yourselves that is fine)

- WIPs/early sketches posted organically over the month

(I will be taking a more organic approach to WIPs from now on such as sharing rough sketches of the pages, and other WIPs shots. Occasionally I will probably do a WIP progress page like I have in the WIP packs. I will no longer be doing teaser WIPs of the comic so there will be no spoilers)

Eventually I am hoping to add livestreams to this tier, but I currently do not have fast enough internet to host livestreams and will need to wait until summer to run a new wired connection out to my house as I am currently running off slow wifi)

Sponsor Tier: $30 per month

-All previous rewards

-All high-rez art I have produced each month

-Cameos in the comic as needed (there will be lots coming up in the new chapter!)

- First in line for commissions

(this is something I have already more or less been doing, but I am going to make it an official reward now, if you are in this tier and you would like a commission you will be first in line when I take on a new batch of commissions)

- One member of this tier will be selected on rotation each month for a up to two character comic-style shading commission (single illustration, not full comic page) or $60USD discount on any commission. (you can read more about that here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/monthly-free-art-18089546)

 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Anyway I hope you guys like the changes, there will be a bit more work on my end to maintain this all, but I am confident I am up to the challenge. I think this new structure will allow me to interact more closely with you guys as I felt my previous structure was getting a bit too structured and limiting. 

I am hoping with this new simplified structure I will be able to attract more subscribers which will allow me to spend more time on this comic. :)

I hope you guys like the changes!

Much Love!

yes, I think it was you that originally suggested I give it a try? :)

Archiva Unicornis

I do seem to remember this! I’m pleased you decided to.

Sparki

Discord? Yes please!

Sentano

Why are prices raised again?

Baked Potato Lover

To clarify, the side comics will only be visible to $5+? Will they be made public after 3 months like the main comic.

Brushfire

No, these will be exclusive comics, I will likely sell them as printed comics on inkedfur though :)

Brushfire

Because I am going to be producing more content at that tier, my base tier and top tier prices are not changing :)

Sentano

So the spin-off comics will not be represented in any tier anymore?

Brushfire

spin-off comic are all commissions and will be posted for all patrons and released at a later date on my other accounts as they always have. The *new* back-story/side comics, or concept illustrations will be available for the 5, 10 and 30 tiers. :)

Baked Potato Lover

I understand your decision and hope it turns out. Thank you for explaining

Brushfire

Thanks for your understanding :) It can be scary make big changes like this, but I really want to be able to create more comics and I think this will help me reach that goal. :)

Will the former $4 tier automatically change to $5 or does this need to be changed manually? ^^

Brushfire

I can never change the amount my patrons are pledging, only the tiers, you will have to update your pledge when I change over to the new tiers. :)

Dragonlver13

Sounds good Brush! Will keep my eyes out for the change ^^

Haflinger14

So the 7 $ Tier is gone too?

Brushfire

Yah, I found I did not have many at either the $7 or $15 tiers and they were unnecessarily complicated so I am amalgamating them into one $10 tier and having it have more benefits (such as the discord)
