First and foremost, Patreon will be charging Sales Tax to pledges starting July 1st, and note this is different based on regions.
If you live in Europe, and you are already paying VAT (which has a crazy and unreasonable rate imo), you won't be asked to pay for sales tax.
If you live in other regions, check Patreon's page for more information : https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043054911-New-Sales-Tax-Requirements-effective-July-1st-2020

Let's talk about the REAL good news.
The artist and I have been exchanging opinions on our freshly implemented grayscale art benefits. - Rn only 20 and 40$ tier has voting rights and 5$ and above have viewing rights.
The artist absolutely loves this idea and says it is a great opportunity for they to practice and improve their drawing skills.
So we decided to do more, and the artist will be doing the 2nd grayscale art during Saturdays without asking for overtime payments. :P (My wallet is singing Hallelujah rn)
There will now be TWO monthly grayscale arts updated each month. One at the beginning of the month and one in the middle of the month.
And this is how we would distribute this new benefit:
1. First grayscale art: 10$ and above have voting rights. 5$ and above have viewing rights.
2. Second grayscale art: 20$ and above have voting rights. 5$ and above have viewing rights.
So in short:
5$ tier: You have access to Both of the grayscale arts.
10$ tier: You have access to Both of the grayscale arts + you can vote on ONE.
20$ tier: You have access to Both of the grayscale arts + you can vote on Both.
40$ tier: same as above.
I will be updating the tier descriptions shortly.
