Patreon Changes
Added 2016-03-02 19:11:09 +0000 UTCFigured now would be a good time to announce this since we're at the start of a new month. I have, for a while now, been planning a number of changes to my pricing guidelines, payment scheme and milestone goals, which I'm planning to implement shortly after I finish and post the current piece I'm working on.
The changes, in brief, are as follows:
Due to my somewhat uneven output since starting this project, I'm changing the payment model from per month to per update. Bundled with the change are a number of alterations to the donation levels and Milestones.
Most donation levels will be reduced and have additional perks granted, and an additional Donation level added:
$1 - No changes
$5 - Reduced to $3, as current + 5% discount on commissions
$10 - Reduced to $5, as current + access to a Google Hangouts page, 10% commission discount, access to sped up painting videos on youtube (if I can remember to do them)
A new $10 tier replacing the old $10 tier: Voting power, proposals for pinups, google hangouts access, you tube access + 20% commission discount, psd/kra files of finished Patreon images.
Milestone Goals will be reduced in price so they can be met more easily:
Goal 1, First Stepper -To 50/update (from 125/month)
Goal 2, Draw Friend - To 150/update (from 500/month)
Goal 3, Comitron - To 300/update (from 1000/month)
I'd also like to do tutorials available to everyone. Let me know you're thoughts on these potential alterations.
Comments
I won't be quite so arbitrary, but I probably will require that payment actually have gone through the prior month before extending the discount.
