Billing Changes and Busy Seasons - Update

Hey everyone! How have you been? Good? Good! I have some updates for the next couple of months, so lets first start with... Patreon's recent billing changes!

Now, if you haven't heard of the change from any other person your supporting, here's the short and simple version: Patreon has changed the way billing works in order to stay on the Apple App Store. In order for them to stay on that platform, billing has to be done via Subscription Billing (where if a user pays on the 10th of the month, they pay on the 10th of the next month). Thankfully, we already have that kind of billing set up! The other change though is a bit of a troublesome one: Apple will apply a 30% App Store fee to all new memberships done through the iOS app, meaning prices will be higher on the app for Apple users. Now, this will only apply to new people joining in starting in November (so right now), so if you want to save money every month and not give Apple a little bit of my small paycheck, please support me by going through your web browser and NOT the iOS app.

Next up for updates... Busy with the season!

It's November, and knowing America and maybe other retailers across the world, Christmas stuff has been out since late September/early October. For me however, since I do work at a small retail business (sadly can't live off of drawing... yet), they are planning for me to be more full-time during the holiday season (from around November to December/January). This means that I won't have as much time as usual to do art during this season, and posts might be a bit slower all around. For the past couple of months I've made sure to usually have 2 finished works per month (1 for the Character Poll and 1 other project), and I do want to try maintaining that workflow while also juggling Commissions. However, I cannot promise at this time that this will be the case for the time being, and it might get reduced to just the 1 finished art per month. If I feel as though I am too busy and am not living up to providing art for the Patreon, I will pause the billing for that month. I do hope you continue to support me even during this busy time, and I hope to continue to support you guys with art that you'll enjoy.

Anyway, that's all the time I got for now. If you excuse me, my birthday is fast approaching, as well as plenty of art to still work through. Catch you guys next time! (most likely for the Yearly Patreon Survey)
