Changes to Patreon/Hand of the Queen Tier! (Patreon)

Hey everyone! I have an idea I've been wanting to share with everyone for a while that I haven't had the time to explore until this year. I had wanted to start in January but I decided to continue with my regular Patreon schedule instead of changing things this month because I committed myself to more than one project this month and I didn't have the time to start this new idea. For a long time now I have felt very frustrated with my art, like I've been stuck in a stage that isn't working for me anymore. I've been wanting to improve like crazy and I feel like I've finally come up with an idea that will help me take the next step towards improving my skills. 

I've decided that starting in February I want to start doing studies of my favorite films to improve my painting/rendering skills, as well as my color theory. In order to do this I'm going to be removing the illustration suggestion feature as a Hand of the Queen benefit because I do not think I will be able to put in the effort to create an original illustration each month while also attempting to improve with studies. I'll be keeping the NSFW suggestions for now,  because those illustrations are usually simpler and less time consuming for me to complete. If at some point in the future I feel like I can't continue taking NSFW suggestions I will make sure to announce that. This doesn't mean I won't be creating original illustrations ever again, I just want to put more energy into improving right now.

Everything else will remain the same, the only thing that will be different is that now instead of taking illustration suggestions and having polls for those suggestions, I am going to be making a poll with several different movies and allowing everyone to vote for which film they would like to see me do studies of. 

If this change is something that doesn't interest you, and you feel like you no longer want to pledge I totally understand and there are no hard feelings! This is just something I've wanted to explore for a long time and I feel like now is a good time for me to try it. If there are any questions regarding this change please feel free to message me or comment below!

Hey Naomi, one of the main reasons I follow you on patreon is for the asoiaf related content, so I’m wondering if you could somehow incorporate that into your illustration studies, like maybe with seasons 1-4 of GOT, since the visuals there at least bore some similarities to the books?

I am definitely open to using a few episodes from GoT for studies! I want the chance to explore other stories and visuals aside from ASOIAF, but I don’t plan on completely cutting that content out of my art. I don’t think this will be something I am going to be doing forever but it is an exercise I want to try for a few months to see if it will help me improve some skills that I feel are kind of weak right now. For the first month I think I will probably try to focus on content that is separate from ASOIAF, just to give myself some breathing room. NSFW suggestions can still be ASOIAF related, and there is still the giveaway contests as well!

I'm totally cool with whatever you want to do, Naomi! The reason I donate is more to thank you for the art that you've already come out with and to continue supporting whatever content you'll release next. It's not at all about feeling that you owe me anything as a fan.
