Welcome to October! (Patreon)

Hey folks, Happy October! (The scariest month by far!)

For the last two weeks I've been working behind the scenes to revamp Patreon's reward tiers and, finally, start the process of opening up commissions again.

TL;DR

Spooky Month — Expect a Healthy Halloween Special and other goodies!

Commissions — Will open soon, likely closer to the end of October after I've finished the special.

Patreon Tiers Updated — Supporter Tier now gives you 20% off of all commissions and priority queue when they open. Others have been updated/adjusted to reflect current benefits. No price changes made.

Art Releases — Majority of Releases will still be 30 days early access, some may be 7 days, others may release same-day on both Patreon and Twitter/Bluesky (like this post!)

Fluxer — Now that most people have realised how terrible Discord actually is, I'm officially opening the Fluxer server to paid patreon members first. The platform has no Patreon integration so I will have to review everybody manually, but I am much MUCH more active there after swapping over completely in February. You can click here to join and there will also be a link in the Discord server this weekend when I get around to it. There is zero pressure to join if you don't want to, it's just there as an alternative option. (The link is valid for one week!)

Work Release Schedule

I've been enjoying the space that comes with 30 days of early access, it's been a big boost to my ability to work on waves of art and start up a consistent cycle of releases (plus, it gives you folks a lot more content to enjoy before others.) However, I've hit a snag in regards to things like trending memes, quick jabs of art I like doing, so on, that I hadn't considered.

Most of the time things will still be 30 days early access, but I may occasionally set something to release same-day both on Twitter and Patreon if I want something out quick. For a loose guide, depending on how much time I put into a project will dictate how long it stays in early access. This should keep the higher variants, more complex stuff in the patron-only space for longer.

Patreon Subscription Changes

The tiered system is a little outdated and flawed, so over the weekend I'll be implementing changes that should hopefully give you guys more rewarding benefits. While WIPs and streams were fun to do in theory, in practice I'm so scatter-brained it's hard to keep them consistently updated, so I've elected to remove them as benefits.

Supporter Tier — Now gives you 20% off of all commissions and priority queue when they open.

Removed WIPs, Streams, etc as benefits. They may return another time if I can figure out a solution.
