Big February Update!
Added 2022-02-01 09:51:26 +0000 UTCHello everyone, this is Moshi. With February here, Cora and I are going to be doing a few new things to benefit our patrons as well as clarify a couple of details regarding rewards.
First, and most importantly, patreon rewards. We want to thank all of our supporters that have stuck with us for so long as you all are a HUGE help to us financially. We did cross $200 last month but have fallen back to $170 due to losing some patrons, which isn't bad as we can eventually get back to that milestone. To those of you in any tier that is Gold and above, we want to make sure you know exactly what it is you can get.
You get a free character (2 if Diamond) drawn each month, but it cannot be any character in any situation. The character can NOT have anything super detailed, such as complex clothing or a complex design. $20 for a character each month is already cheaper than the standard $30 per character that we charge, and it wouldn't be fair for us to have to draw something super detailed without even charging extra for it. If you give us a complicated character with complex designs or clothing, the clothing will be changed to something simpler, or we will deny the request and ask for something simpler if the design is too complex. We have been extremely lenient on this previously, but we will be enforcing this going forward.
Next, Cora will start opening YCH's every couple of weeks that will be opened for a limited period of time as well as running polls that will allow you all to vote on what character you would like to see drawn. These polls will be open to the public for now, but eventually, the polls will be an exclusive reward only available to patrons in the Gold tier or higher. This change will most likely be implemented in March.
Lastly, another thing regarding patreon requests. Most of you are consistent with making your requests, but sometimes, requests are not made until the end of the month. I understand sometimes people are busy, but it is a HUGE inconvenience to us when you make your request within 3 days of the month ending. We aim to have requests finished by the end of the month so they don't pile up going into the next month, and so someone can't make a request at the end of the month then make another one as soon as the next month begins. In order to keep this from happening, we will not accept any patreon requests made after the 15th of each month. It does not take long to message either of us and inform us of what it is you would like. We will not make any acceptions to this rule and will be heavily enforcing it moving forward. Patrons will be reminded both here and on our discord server to make their patreon requests, and if missed, you will NOT receive it for that month.
That is all for this update. We will have our first set of YCH's and polls coming out over the next few days. Thank you to those of you that have read this. If you ask a question that was answered with this update, we will not answer it as there is no reason not to understand what we are doing and why.
