Hello Everyone!

Firstly. I want to thank all existing patrons for their monetary support!

The long and short of this post is that I've made a Community Discord Server (The Mlikscord) and getting the most out of it (how I'd like to) would cause some overlap in the existing Patreon perks. Thus, you can view this restructure as sort of a merger of this new community space and this Patreon.

It does sort of feel very soon, considering it hasn't been too many months since my last major restructure, but I'm enthusiastic about this new direction.

How is Patreon Going to Change?

Downsizing - I'll be converting the Patreon into a more "General Support" model.

Only one Tier ($5) for Supporters. Supporters will be granted the Patreon Supporter role in the new discord. This role, for now, will have access to Timelapse and Work File downloads.

I'd like to figure out how to do more with the role in the future, including bringing symphony sketches back and handling suggestions and polls through the Discord.

Merging Perks - Certain perks will be merged into simply being a member of the Discord without requiring money. By joining the Discord as a non-patron, people will recieve:

General WIPs/Sketches/Doodles

A few days early access on finished pieces (just a few days, not a full week)

What if I don't have Discord (or don't want to join the Server)?

I still plan on uploading the Timelapses/Work Files here on Patreon for those who'd rather not. The perks will only be the same as what you'd recieve by being in the server (but do not include any possible in-server events.)

When Will The Discord Launch? Will I Automatically Receive the Patron Role?

I would like to launch the Discord pretty soon (Ideally within a week), and the link will be exclusively posted here first to make identifying Supporters easier.

IMPORTANT: If someone claims a Patron Role after the discord has launched to the general public, you'll need to reach out to me with your discord username so I can manually grant the role!

I'll be making the necessary changes to the Patreon within a few days. If anyone has any concerns or suggestions--please let me know! Thanks again for your support.
