PATREON CHANGE LOG - #1 [09/08/20]

Hello my lovely patrons!

I have some great news, but also some potentially unfortunate and sad news for everyone.

Let's start off with a huge thank you to everyone who has become one of my patrons - I am super grateful for your support and I could not have gotten here without each and every single one of you. Thank you so much!

As discussed from last month, I have needed to make a bunch of changes because I was overwhelmed with the amount of support from everyone, and did not consider the consequences of having so many heccin' sketches to do.

Before I announce the changes, I would like to apologize to everyone, but this apology will mainly be directed at my Strawberry Sharpies - inevitably, there will be many of you who will no longer receive sketches from me. :\ This makes me sad because I wish I could do them all for you, but I don't want to be a Patreon-only artist - I would like to still reach out and take commissions from people, however I cannot do that when all my time is taken up doing only sketches.

I wasn't making enough from those sketches to be worth the amount of stress and time I was putting on myself to get them done. I have decided to remove the sketches as a benefit from that tier, but I have lowered the cost of it for those that would like to see my NSFW content.

I have put a pay wall on my NSFW content - I apologize, but this content is hard for me to draw. The art itself isn't too grueling of a task, it's just finding the time and space to draw it that makes it difficult. However, the more people I see jump onto this tier will let me know that's what you'd like to see more of.

I would also like to apologize to my Golden Quills, as your sketch count will be reduced from 2 to only one sketch per month. You'll still be getting a $5 discount on the sketch, as my sketches normally cost $45, but you will not be receiving a second sketch every month. :( I'm sorry.

But seriously, thank you all so much for all your support - I hope you can all forgive me as I figure all this stuff out. 

As for the other tiers not mentioned, not much has changed. <3

But for some good news, I have revamped a bunch of stuff, clarified a bunch of things better in the benefits section of each tier, and I also added another tier for those who really want to see my art, but don't have much to offer.

Here is a list of all the new changes:

- All patrons now have access to SFW digital downloads
- All patrons can now see SFW Patreon sketches
- All patrons can now see all my completed SFW commissions
- All patrons will receive 2nd dibs on commission openings

- SFW personal art and polls are restricted to the Pencil Crayon and higher
  tiers
- SFW WIPs and concept art are restricted to the Glitter Pen and higher tiers
- All NSFW content is restricted to the Strawberry Sharpie and higher tiers
- 1st dibs on commission openings are restricted to the Platinum Space Rock
  Sugar Daddy and Milk-Drinking Power Bottom tiers

- Strawberry Sharpies will no longer be receiving monthly sketches
- Strawberry Sharpie tier is now $15 instead of $20
- Golden Quills will be receiving only 1 sketch per month instead of 2

I hope this clarifies what changes have taken place and that it's as convenient as possible for everyone.

To anyone who was originally subscribed to the Pencil Crayon, Glitter Pen, or Strawberry Sharpie tier, please let me know! I've taken note of everyone who was already, but in case someone was missed please tell me. I'll be contacting you personally soon, but please choose a new tier if you'd like to stay a patron.

The same ones are available, though with different benefits if you'd like, and I will be able to add one or two more open slots to the higher tiers for those who still really want monthly sketches.

If all these changes are too much, and you'd no longer like to support me as an artist, you're more than welcome to do so - I completely understand. making all these changes was a very hard decision for me to make, and I'm always going to be grateful for your support.

I would one day like to do art as a full-time thing, and Patreon is really making that idea a possibility. So thank you once again for all your patience with me as I sort this out.

If you have any questions, please, please, please let me know! I will be happy to answer them as best I can in order to help you better understand why all this has gone down.

Thank you so very much,

 ~Tekky ♡♡
