Major Patreon Update
🕑 Added 2021-12-29 02:36:10 +0000 UTCHowdy, so it's been a while since last update. Hope you guys are doing fine. This is kind of a big update and just wanted to put it out now while I had some time to. As mentioned back in August I talked about how once I switched to a move full time position I would want to treat Patreon more as just a tip jar. That has finally happened, sadly not in the field I would have wanted it to be in, but still I am grateful that my job is letting me finally be in a permanent position instead of the temporary state I was in for over a year (originally was only supposed to work for 2 weeks but they liked me that much I guess).
On top of this happening, I've been reflecting a lot about my art and where I'm currently at with my art in general. I'm content with it, but at the same time I do feel that since doing the sketches most of my art has been for others with me neglecting to put time into what I enjoy drawing. My goal for next year is to take a step back from doing as many commissions and just taking some time to figure out what it is I really want to be drawing, that being I still really want to draw comics. I just need to set more of my time to that cause instead of putting it second to making stuff for others.
So, what this means is that starting January I will be removing the Nerd tier on Patreon and opening a few more general price options. All tiers more or less functioning for access to the full images and the Discord. I did enjoy the addition of the suggestion box, so that will remain a thing. I will be tweaking a bit on how it works, possibly adding a permanent suggestion box as part of the Discord, but that's for next month. I might keep the suggestion box art exclusive to Patreon for that month, but all other art I will be trying to post to other places when possible. If you are currently in Nerd Tier you have the option to just pay $20 to have any of your unfinished sketches into full art whenever you want., simply message me.
That's about it, this is a very weird post for me to put out. Thank you guys so very much for all the support you guys have given me this past year and a half. I hope I'm able to keep making dumb things that you guys enjoy.
