Very Important: Sketch'em and Squad News!

Evening all!

General News:
So in 2 months from now, around mid-September, I will be raising the price on my Sketch'ems.
Currently they are $130 base with $15 adult fee and up to $15 for detail fees depending on complexity.
Come September, my base price will go up to $150. The other fees will remain the same ($15/$15).

Patreon News:
This September will also mark the 3-year anniversary of my Patreon launching.
Even I'm stunned that it's already been this long! With this milestone, I will be reformatting the Sketch'em Squad.
Currently it is $15 per month and helps build a discount at 10% per month pledged until you earn a 100% off Sketch'em.
In September, I will be creating a $20 Sketch'em Squad tier that will be replacing the $15 tier entirely.
The reason for a "new" tier is that, for understandable reasons, you cannot change the price of a tier once pledged to.
Because of this, the $20 tier will become the new Sketch'em Squad with all the same perks as before.

Now, let it be known that:
Current Squad members will have the opportunity to reach out to me to claim a $20 slot before it is publicly opened!
This way, you are ensured to have a spot should you wish to continue supporting and pledging to the Squad tier.
And yes, current patrons, you can do this starting today!
Simply message me on Patreon (preferably) or you can note me on FurAffinity with your Patreon name if you like.
Once I receive my first message, I will open the tier slot-by-slot to ensure current members obtain their new slot.

The $20 tier will officially open in September for public slots. The max number of slots the tier will hold will be 25.

To answer some questions ahead of time:

Q: Why the price change?
A: This is to compensate for my pricing change for regularly claimed Sketch'em slots. This is also to provide an opportunity for
new faces to join the tier and have a shot at earning discounts towards Sketch'ems of their own!

Q: If I upgrade now, does patreon charge me the difference of $5 immediately?

A: Yes, patreon does immediately charge the price difference. I unfortunately have no power to change this.

Q: I'm a current patron but I don't want to join the $20 tier. Will my discount disappear once the new tier opens in September?
A: Your discount will remain valid until you use it! It will stop accumulating after September if you choose to not upgrade.

Q: If I cancel my pledge in September, do I lose my discount I earned?
A: Once you cancel your pledge, you will need to redeem your discount as soon as possible for a Sketch'em slot.
Patreon keeps you as "active" til the next billing cycle, so you have all of September to claim your slot and use your discount.
If you do not use your discount before leaving, you forfeit your earned discount, so please use it if you wish to unpledge. :)

Q: I want to stay in the Squad! But if I want to upgrade, does my discount reset to 0% once I join the $20 pledge tier?
A: Nope! You retain your discount and continue accumulating 10% discount per month just like the old tier! ^^



That should cover most of it! If you have any questions, feel free to ask below or reach out in a note or DM!
Again, the price changes and Squad tier changes are not happening until September.
This is a 2-month heads-up so that any and all interested parties can plan accordingly!
Thank you for reading through this all! :D
