[ANNOUNCEMENT] - PATREON CHANGES (Patreon)

Hi everybun!!! ♡(◕ᗜ◕✿) I hope you all had a wonderful summer! As always thanks for being here and supporting me!!

August and September have been crazy for me and I've been working on so many cool things which I can't wait for you guys to see! I will do my best to not disappoint with the artwork. I plan to come back with regular streams once I finish the current batch of work!

It has been 1.5 years since the last big Patreon update, where I introduced a lot of changes regarding how files are distributed and how each pledge works. Now, starting  October 2023, I will be updating my Patreon page a bit once again so I wanted to give you guys a heads-up!

Firstly, I wanted to introduce you guys to lovely Yume, who will be assisting me with Patreon management starting this month~! Up till now, managing everything alone was a big challenge on many fronts, mainly because I have been more and more busy as the years go by. I hope that with their help, I will be able to run this page more efficiently! Do not worry though, my priority is to keep our interaction here as personal as ever and anything written out here will still be coming 100% from me! (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡

With that said, here are a few things that will be happening!

Rewards distribution goes back to the DM system

Rewards were being posted on the timeline for the past 1.5 years (similarly to how Fanbox works), and though personally I like this method a lot, it has a major flaw of Patreon not having the option to lock posts to per month’s pledge. Starting in September, I will be going back to sending out the rewards through DMs to Patrons who have successfully completed payment for each month. Rewards uploaded on the timeline so far will remain available for new and existing Patrons and will not be deleted!

.PSD files are coming back

I decided to go back to giving out .psd files again since I know not everyone uses Clip Studio Paint. I will be attaching an extra .clip file depending on if the illustration provided used a lot of clip-only features which might be lost in the .psd.

Art Class tier will be paused

Due to a busy schedule, the Tier 5 pledge will be disabled for the time being. Please consider switching to another Tier of your liking!  It was a lovely experience to get to give critiques, and art class may come back in one way or another in the future. For now, thanks so much for participating!

Gumroad will be opened in the future

The rewards distribution changes allow me to open Gumroad now and so, past Patreon rewards will be on Gumroad, available to purchase separately (it will not include all exclusives from the timeline like WIPs and sketches). The packages will be uploaded 1 month later than on Patreon.

I think that is all for now, I will update you all if anything else needs adding!! If you have any uncertainties or questions let me know!! Thank you everyone, SEE YOU SOON!!
