PSA - T2-3 Changes - PLEASE READ!
Added 2023-12-13 16:51:36 +0000 UTCDear Patrons!
First of all, I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude. Thank you very much for your support and trust.
-------------------
EDIT (11 Jan 2024)
I added new information at the end of this post, please scroll down to the dashed lines. Thank you.
-------------------
It's been almost a month since the launch. During this time, I learned a lot about being a creator and my audience, and I came to the conclusion that I need to introduce some changes.
The main change
The Discord server will be closed and I will deliver every perk via the Patreon platform.
Why?
- the cross-platform format makes it difficult for most people to access the perks (T2-3)
- I need to streamline my workflow and reduce the administration work to the minimum; I believe that my main focus should stay on making art
When?
12th January 2024 - on the next billing day of the last patron who joined a tier with a Discord perk.
How?
- tiers with Discord perks are now unpublished: this means no new people can join, but the membership and the benefits still exist and will be delivered until the date above as promised
- detailed changes of the tiers will be added to this post soon - you'll receive a notification
Please remember to change your tier as you see fit, as I won't postpone the closure of the server. If in doubt, T1 is a good start for now - even if the perks change, there will be only additions, T1 won't have less.
I'll post the rest of the information ASAP. I apologise for the possible inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
Best wishes,
Inna

FOLLOWUP INFORMATION (11 Jan 2024)
First of all, I apologise for the HUGE delay. My sickness delayed every other task I had with about 3 weeks. January is very busy for freelancers here due to the tax assessments and other official things. Besides this, my priority was to deliver the Patron-exclusives, and so this thing was kept being postponed, trying to avoid making a bad decision.
I don't want to wait any longer though, nor do I have anything else to consider. I think I found the solution that will benefit all of us the most. My aim was to make the perks more accessible (minimise the third-party applications, ie Discord), and to streamline my own workflow as much as possible, so I can keep focusing on art.
The Tiers will look as below. The fees won't change.
Tier 1
- news feed and community
- polls
- access to exclusive NSFW (min 2/month)
- sketches, studies
- WIPs
- early access
Tier 2
- everything in Tier 1
- access to older posts
Tier 3
(for now, I don't have any plan for this)
I will make a public post about this soon.
IMPORTANT
If the delay of this information caused you to make a decision you are now unhappy with, please let me know and I'll issue you a refund for the previous charge. I was unable to keep my word and I don't want anybody left dissatisfied and with a bad aftertaste. I take responsibility for my inexperience.
