So, those updates I mentioned (and stream date)
🕑 Added 2018-01-03 02:54:37 +0000 UTC Let's actually talk about some of that stuff.First thing's first, however; I need to specify that, although a number of things will be changing, these changes won't be implemented until February. This is to give time for all patrons to see these updates and consider whether or not they like them, especially the first thing I need to go over. With that being said, I really need feedback on these, since if you aren't satisfied with how things turn out, then it needs to be fixed.
The main thing on the agenda is tier adjustments. I know this won't be a popular decision, but every tier is going to increase. However, to offset this, every tier is being changed significantly. The numbers are still flexible and aren't set in stone yet, so this isn't necessarily final.
For the time being, changes are as follows:
-Instance: $1 -> $3. What we currently know as tiers 1 and 2 are being merged, meaning all Instance patrons receive both the regular and nude monthly sketches. This is mainly to keep things a bit more streamlined.
-Guild: $2 -> $7. This tier essentially becomes what tier 3 was; Guild patrons will now receive the coloured monthly sketch and can participate in Patreon streams, which will now be weekly, taking place on Wednesday.
-Dungeon: $5 -> $12. In addition to stream access, Dungeon patrons now have access to the free packs, but the ones available is being changed. Previously, any pack released after my Patreon started would become available for free, but recent events have shown that to be problematic. With that model, a person could sign up for a month and make off with however many packs are released at that time, and the more there are, the more I end up losing. In an effort to prevent unsavory folks from signing up for a day just to get free stuff and then bailing before making any payments, there will now be only one pack available at a time. For example, the Adventurers pack is currently the one available here on Patreon, but when the next one comes out, it will be replaced by that one as the pack available to download. From that point on, Adventurers will only be available through purchase. While not what I originally intended to do, this must be done to prevent a potentially disastrous oversight.
-Boss: $10 -> $15. In addition to everything else mentioned, I'm finally adding a commission tier. While only three will be available at first, all Boss patrons will get a sketch commission every month in the same vein as the commissions that will be offered on my DA page; that is, a custom Amiibound or Trapped in Your Phone image. Whichever you get is up to you.
Now, as stated earlier, this stuff is still subject to change. Details and numbers may still be adjusted, and I'll be giving some more concrete details as February gets closer. For now, I wanted to let you all know that things will be changing, both here and on DA.
Lastly, tomorrow (January 3rd) will be the stream that was supposed to take place at the end of December. I also will get to work on this month's sketch, which should pop up in the next few days.
And... I think that's it for now, assuming I didn't forget anything. So yeah, let me know what you think.

I currently plan to have three slots at that tier available. Whether or not more become available in the future will depend on how well I'm able to keep up. Sketch commissions would be exactly like what you'd see from the request streams; finished lines, but no colour shading. Trapped in Your Phone is something I'm going to be offering as a type of commission very soon. In short, it's a phone wallpaper of custom sizes wherein it looks like the character is being held in your phone. Before officially taking them as commissions, however, I will be making an example with Hanna and posting it to DA.

Seems fair to me, and I very much understand what you're getting at with these changes. The dungeon tier pledge seems a bit of a jump higher than I'd expect, but it's up to you. I have a few questions about the boss tier changes: -Firstly, when you say there will only be three available at first, does that mean that only three people can be part of this tier? Or do you mean that you'll only be taking three of the commissions? -Secondly, when you say it'll be a sketch commission, do you mean like the sketches done during the request streams, or do you mean like a full color image? -Thirdly, what is a "Trapped in Your Phone" image? I'm just asking for clarity on these because I'm still very interested in supporting you at this tier. I'm just worried that I wouldn't be able to get in on it if it's a limited slot tier.

I get a free comm every month. Neat.
