It's February! What a strangely named month. All these years I say "Febuary" instead of "FebRU-ary". Well, whatever you pronounce it, there are some changes taking place on my Patreon and how I'm going to do things. While it's not a -huge- problem for me yet personally, there are still people that pledge, get all their content, and then leave before they are charged. They're basically telling me that they like my work, but don't feel it's worth their support. It's silly because all my stuff is posted publicly anyway, the bonuses are high-res, PSDs, etc. It's not like my Patreon is a paywall and I'm ripping people off with expectations, no, if you've seen my stuff online, then you know what you're going to get. Exceptions are occasional unposted sketches and alt. versions like wallpapers. The way most Patrons I've seen combat this is by not posting anything in the activity feed. Instead they just send out PMs to those whos payments have gone through. I don't think this is nearly as fun, since a lot of you seem to enjoy the periodic updates in the feed, comment on them, and I like hearing them back. So I'm going to try and reach a halfway point. Changes are: -HD tier gets 2 votes for the pinup, PSD tier gets 3 -PSDs won't be uploaded in the feed, just included in the ZIP file I send out at the end of the month -The activity feed will be cleared of old content. There will be a 1-month block of content up at all times, meaning, it's February now, so January will remain up for any new Patrons to see, yes whether they end up leaving or not, but December content is removed. This only applies to HD/PSD/unique posts. Sketches, tutorials, ask ARA, and announcements I may leave up. - If your pledges are consistently declined (2+ months) I will remove you as a Patron. I don't think this bans you, but removes from the current content cycle and updates. Even if it's just a simple processing error, it's not personal; you're welcome to pledge again if you get it corrected. -If you pledge a very high amount and it gets declined, I will remove it as well. What does this mean? If you pledge to support me continuously, it means very little/not much has changed. That's all, really. Took longer to explain than I thought, but I just wanted to be thorough and clear, and hopefully it all makes sense. As always, PM or comment with any questions or suggestions if I've made an error or such. I just want to make sure that the people who go out of their way to support me with time and funds get the proper thank-you and bonus content they chose, and not some random folks who don't think it's worth the dirt-cheap prices I've set. I will also finally be starting comics this month, even though the goal wasn't reached (total on the page is misleading, and counts declined pledges)! I will make a seperate post about that soon... =============================== February Votes!
