Patreon Overhaul

Hello everyone, it's been a while. I've been busy with school, as usual, but I've also been dealing with a recently diagnosed genetic disorder that turns out is the reason I've been anemic most of my life, (also constantly exhausted, unfocused, etc.) I'm on the way up in terms of treatment, so I hope this means that a more productive future lies ahead.

That being said, I would like to be transparent with you, my supporters. As you know, I have only made a single paid post since I created this Patreon. I would like to change this, but with some changes to my Patreon as well.

I have made the choice to remove all "tiers" of pledges, as I want to let myself create as much as possible without the background worry of fulfilling additional rewards on top of just simply trying to create content. This is so I can focus on the purpose of creating this Patreon in the first place: making art!

So, if you'll check out my new front page, you'll be able to read over the details of this new "model" for my Patreon. The most intuitive perk that I have included is that I will be running a private "Backstage Blog" for access only by you, my supporters. Access to this password-protected blog will be given within the next few days and content will be posted immediately.

Additionally, to be posted to this private blog will be pages of sketches which I will be opening up voting on which will determine the next piece that I bring to completion. I believe this is a much better method than "What character to draw next?" as the initial idea will already exist as a sketch prior to Patron voting, so the process is far less vague and the ball can just keep rolling once voting has taken place!

I understand if this change will cause some of you to leave, but I hope not because not much has truly changed (except for my skills, which has only improved since the last time you heard from me.) I just did my best to strip away all the fluff so I can get to the meat of why I'm here: to create. I hope that is something that you can all appreciate. I'm in a much better place than I have been for the last few years, and I've been creating more art than ever before.

Please let me know of any questions you have and I will do my best clarify.

Thank you for your continued support.

Cool Blue
