Tier Reward Changes

I've been feeling 'stuck' when it comes to producing Patreon content lately. I find myself worrying about whether or not you guys will enjoy what I'm putting out, so I'm going to make a few changes to the reward tiers to hopefully push things in a better direction.

For starters, I will be reducing the 'early access' period from a month to two weeks. I've been finding myself unable to either draw or post holiday related pics when they're relevant. I either have to draw them a month ahead of time to be able to post them on the holiday, or I draw them just before the holiday and can't post them until a month later. This way, I can draw them a bit ahead of time, and still release them on schedule. I'm also going to extend the monthly sketch raffle to all reward tiers. This way, all patrons have a chance to be included!

I'm also going to start posting monthly content polls. Patrons of the $3 tier and higher will be able to vote on these, so now you can let me know what kind of content you want to see more of! I'm not 100% of the format I'll be using for these, so I'll try a few different things and see what works out best.

Lastly, I feel I need to offer more in the way of rewards for the $5 tier, especially now that I'm extending the sketch raffle to all tiers. In return for this, I'm going to restrict early access to bonus images to the $5 tier.

I will also be implementing a second monthly raffle exclusive to the $5 tier. The winner will get a character of their choice featured in one of the submissions for the month, either alone or possibly interacting with another character. I will have the final say regarding the content of the image in order to keep things in line with the usual content and tone of my work, but I think it'll be fun to work more directly with you guys in coming up with new ideas!

These changes will begin for the month of August, and I may change them further, or revert them depending on how things go. I would also love to hear back from you guys and see what you think!
