MAJOR Patreon Changes Starting Jan-Feb 2020 (Please Read!)

Hey all!

I have some news about some restructuring I'm going to be trying during this / next months patreon rewards and such. 

First off, you might ask well Strat what's the news? Well my dear chum, I've got some exciting news. I'm planning on restructuring the rewards here a bit to accommodate merch!

I've gotten the idea from a few, more so a good bud who enlightened me on the idea of wanting to try getting stickers and mini prints out to others! Now I can guarantee more so stickers will be among the first wave next month, with prints coming later (need some funds later to get a dedicated mini printer for that) 

Now you might be wondering, how will this affect current patrons? Well thankfully for those in lower tiers below $10 you'll be fine, the most I'll be changing is the monthly poll now will most likely go instead to making the new sticker patrons will vote on for each month, so unfortunately no more monthly draw! This is to accommodate for my personal time I spend on projects and work I want to focus more into merch I wanna do as a primary focus for this year, I just really wanna step up my merch game so I hope this ain't too different.

As for higher tiers regarding those specifically with awards in the $10+ category, I'm doing some price changes as well on commissions so the tiers you woudl've gotten prior have gone down a peg in order to accommodate pricing increases and more of a time focus on personal projects. The $10 tier will most likely be simplified rough sketches and as for the higher tiers such as $25 & $50, $25 will receive most likely GrayScale sketches and $50 Will get Full Body Flat commissions. I'm sorry in advance if this downgrade in base comm quality is upsetting, however it's more so a price increase in general on my commissions and stuff I wanna spend more time on regarding personal projects that is a main priority here. I understand if you might want to downgrade your tier, but regardless I'll keep the commission discounts for these tiers so that won't change.

As for stickers and prints, I'll most likely be incorporating these into tiers such as a $10 base tier, $25+ to be able to receive prints and some more stickers. I'm not sure how I will be doing this yet for international patrons but I'm considering using envelopes and doing small prints such as 4x6 to keep them standard for envelopes for easier shipping / lower costs to do so internationally. I'm not sure yet what I might make a monthly print on but most likely this will be personal art and perhaps a theme of that month if given a holiday.

For everyone else, you're fine. I'll be posting an updated commission sheet here soon and try and tidy up social media a bit for the new year. I'm sorry again if the new changes disappoint anyone, I just more so want to take this year to be more serious with my merchandise & expansion efforts here to patreon / in general. Heck, might even start offering traditional commissions too, who knows! 

I hope you all have a good January, and I hope you are excited as I am for the changes here / new year. Thank you all for your continued support, without you none of this would be possible. Thank you very very much!!
