Power / sketch preview + Tiers Updates
🕑 Added 2024-03-29 06:56:29 +0000 UTCA peek at Power's ongoing work.
And I have something to tell you, plz read below!
Starting April, I'm lowering the cost of the higher tiers. Particularly Tier3, from $15 to $12. Then MaxTier will adjust slightly accompanying that change.
HOWEVER ( I've just come to find out;;; ) Patreon won't allow changing the price of active tiers anymore. So... I will create now a "Tier Three v2.0" same as old T3 but for $12
Please proceed to manually change your memberships from the old T3 to the new T3 v2.0 at your own discretion. The benefits included are exactly the same. Since this is a step-down change in subscription cost, nothing will be charged to you when do it, and your billing cycle remains the same.
Same applies to MaxTier patrons. Please look out for a new MaxTier v2.0 at $45 !
This is only a start: the long-term goal is for Tier3 to be set at $10. But I can only do it gradually like this, being mindful of my budget. The next update would be when(if) the total support builds up again to a sustainable-for-life amount. So I'm not making promises, but I am taking this first step, to reach there eventually. Hopefully.
Reasons are a few.
Read on for the insights.
There's no denying it takes me longer to finish pieces nowadays than it did 9 years ago when I started in Patreon and set up the tiers as we knew them.
Something about age and burnouts combined, I guess? And life demanding energy for other responsibilities. Also, aiming for quality over speed is how I've always done my work, which doesn't make it easier either... But yeah, internally, I can make my peace with what working speed is within my ability now. It's just I don't feel good if it means you're receiving less value for your money — then I aim to gradually fix that part.
Another reason are the recent changes in Patreon's ToS, and understanding it might hurt my art's potential to meet some of your "more explicit" expectations. And myself... I can't see the reason to explore and push my art's boundaries in that direction, when it can turn akin to playing mini-golf over a minefield, going kaboom without much of a warning. So again, I hope to compensate for those limitations by making the Tier3 more accessible to you.
Of course this is not saying I'd only draw sfw from now on. For the most part, it should be business as usual, but without the more experimental bits.

Thanks, Cody!! Oh yeah, I'd like to begin exploring that idea, once we're done with this fanart set : ) (There was Maddy's manga still waiting a wrap-up as well!)
Fegu
You are amazing!😭 Thank you SO much!!
Cody
Anything by you is fantastic and always worth the wait. I’m just glad I get to keep supporting you! I think the storytelling idea is great due to the new ToS and everything.
Jon
Also… POWER!

The old tier feels more vintage and cozy, I’m not switching to 2.0 ♥️
Fegu
Thanks for your feedback. Yeah, it is a point of concern... the practicality of keeping two separate crowdfunding profiles well supplied, and without negative interference. It would be difficult at best.

If there ever is an outlet for more experimental art, I would be OK paying for that in addition to paying here. But I understand if that is not practical, and of course please don’t burn yourself out.
Fegu
> to Mrbrisco. Since you already acquired all of the old packs, it has no use for you 😄
jlxp
It’s the only way to get previous packs, you can choose 3 per month

What's the benefit of the Max tier? I didn't understand
Fegu
That's absolutely so very kind of you ; w ; Thank you so much!!!
Fegu
POWAH
Fegu
Thanks! We can hope...
Fegu
Thanks you! Oh yeah, I really like that idea! It fits my creative process too, since I often try various sketches with sequential poses until I hit one I like. So that could work really well : )

I have no intention of giving you less money. But I just found that the option of giving more than necessary for the tier is not available anymore. So I will stay on the old tier, if that's okay 😅

Sucks that things had to tighten the restrictions right when your were getting “experimental”. Kills creativity so hard. You can do storytelling through poses splendidly, and make it feel quite intimate without being directly explicit. Maybe doing some of those with known characters meeting with the viewer and gradually taking off clothing and other sexy stuff. Just an idea i had since youre doing a lot of chainsawman fanart. Ill make sure to switch over my tier when i can fegu!

Hope it works out for you! Maybe when their revenue drops because of these retarded changes they will revert, but nothing makes sense anymore.
