IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! Please Read!
🕑 Added 2019-07-06 00:38:37 +0000 UTCAs many folks have noticed, I havent opened for commissions yet this month. I was waiting for a few things to become finalized today, and now that they are I can let everyone know whats going on.
Long story short, I picked up a professional media production job. Its not a salaried job; Ill still be working freelance. But the hours are close to full time and confirmed for July. It wasnt something I went out looking for. It came about through some networking channels of folks I know in the industry. Its a great opportunity, though, and helps to get me current in video production so I decided to pursue it.
I apologize for not making this announcement before the month rolled over and it charged everyone for your subscription. Im not trying to pull a bait-and-switch with your pledges for this month. Its just the way the timing worked out with the contract negotiations and the 4th of July and all that.
For now, the contract is only through the end of July. However, I have every reason to expect itll be extended indefinitely. If not though, Ill be open for commissions again next month!
That being said, Im still going to try and produce art for Patreon. Even if Im not doing commissions (or doing a limited number of them), I believe Ill be able to keep updating consistently.
Some changes though:
Im going to reduce posting to three times per week instead of every day. If you dont feel thats worth the $4/mo, I completely understand. I still plan to release the monthly packs on GumRoad for $2.50, so if you feel thats a better price, Id still appreciate that support too.
In lieu of daily posting, Im going to be doing a lot more community polls and (hopefully) more regular color/detailed work to help balance out the slightly less content. Ive already started to do this, and its been fun! So I plan to keep it up.
Im going to discontinue the $20 tier. It doesnt make sense to keep it when Im not offering commissions to discount. You can still pledge more than $4 though, and I really appreciate the folks who've been pledging extra.
For this month, Im only offering commissions to my $20 tier. Im likely going to open a very limited number of slots (and probably limited styles, maybe sketches only). If they dont fill up for my $20 patrons, Ill open for my $4 patrons.
If it ends up not working out to where I just cant produce art as consistently as Id like, I may make a move to a pay-per-post model. I already have a second Patreon set up for this, I just havent promoted it or started using it yet. So I've got some options and I'll experiment in July to see how things work out.
So well see how it goes! Im excited about the new job. Im also excited for the chance to do more furry art for myself and not have to rely on commissions as heavily.
Thanks for your ongoing support!
