PSA: Incoming Tier Changes

Hi, everybody!

I've been giving things some thought in regards to mixing up the tiers a little bit and as of March, there are going to be some small changes, which will hopefully come to benefit more patrons in the long run. The changes I'm planning will be as follows:

Commission perks will be added for all patrons.

• Following the success and overall demand following my last commission wave, I will be granting all patrons priority on commission slots via Discord before I make them public on sites like Twitter and DA.
• For all patrons on the pantsu-sensei tier, I will offer a 10% discount on all commissions going forward.

Tutorials will no longer be formally offered as part of the pantsu-sensei tier.

My initial aim for this tier was to offer artists some insight into how I colour and draw overall, but overall interest in this has been low. In addition, a lot of my methods are variations of methods that can already be found for free online or via reverse engineering existing styles, so I don't feel it's right for me to be profiting from that.

Instead, I'll happily offer insight and tips informally via the discord server when time allows as an informal perk. That said, I will continue to offer PSDs as the main perk of this tier.

I will start doing "sketch nights." as a perk for all patrons.

I had initially wanted to open a new $15 tier for this, but due to the overall demand from patrons, I wouldn't honestly be able to commit to doing a set amount of pics per month and pleasing everybody without severely impacting my ability to work on other things.

Instead, as a compromise and to replace the tutorials with some more content more people will enjoy, I am planning, perhaps once a week, to make a conscious effort to stream and do a number of sketch requests for existing patrons. I have yet to draw up specific rules and details for this, but the gist will be that requests would be submitted via the discord and be dictated by your tier (eg. I would do NSFW pics for people at $10 or higher) and priority would be given to those on higher pledges.

I would be keen to hear feedback on this!

For reference, these changes will be coming into effect from the 1st March. Please let me know your thoughts via the comments or discord!

Thanks! :D

PS, I won't shut up until you join the discord server - if you are an existing patron and you have issues joining the server, please shoot me a DM and I'll be happy to help out.
