Changes to Tier $5 and new Exclusive Content (December)
🕑 Added 2023-11-25 01:30:48 +0000 UTC
I really tried to push this change back as much as possible...
but I knew I’ll have to do this at some point... and there will never be a good time really…
so, might as well do it now. (starting next month)
I’ll first explain the changes to this tier and what’s the exclusive content about, then If you want, you can read the reasons why I’m making these changes down below.
So, from now on I’m adding some pages available exclusively to this tier.
(at least 1 per month but will vary)
The nature of this pages will vary too, most likely I’ll start with shorts but eventually maybe somewhat longer projects like future Zoats or Insta-cosplay (the kind of content I usually rely heavily on polls and suggestions)
I’m not completely sure of all the details just yet, so may start as a test…
I’ll have to see how this goes a few months first I think.
While I want to keep the pages consistent, I do not intend to do the same with the polls and suggestions. Meaning that I will make them as needed, but if I’m already releasing some of these pages I might skip them.
I’ll keep making votes and suggestions for other stuff outside this content when it’s needed too.
Ok, now for the reasons why I’m making this changes:
My intention was to keep all content available for tier $3 and offer perks to the other tiers to incentive subscriptions (mostly polls and suggestions). And while this works, it also distract me from longer projects and made me focus on shorts instead, which is something I'm trying to change.
It has also become increasingly more difficult to keep up with the polls and suggestions… the end of the month is coming near and I haven’t done one yet… and I’m kinda dreading it since I’m very focused on other stuff at the moment… :p
In the tier description I do point out that votes and suggestions don't always happen…
but I feel bad any time I miss a month without making them nonetheless…
I considered just getting rid of the $5 tier… but that would impact my earning in a very significant way… also asking for stuff and making polls can be very useful as well… as long as there’s a good reason to do them instead of dealing with a monthly obligation.
I do, also want to make this tier more attractive to people, since obviously seeing this Patreon grow is something I’ll like to see as well. Most Patreons do this after all, and while I tried to avoid it I see why can be a good thing too. (plus more content)
I already asked this on the discord once, and while I was worried people would complain, the opposite happens and most were excited about getting more stuff… and while this will mean more work for me, at least will result on more interesting stuff instead of only shorts (At least that’s what I hope)
I’ll most likely keep making polls for stuff outside of this exclusive content too, specially for holidays and special dates (Halloween and the like) this change is more so I don’t feel bad about not making polls at times by adding another more consistent perk to it.
As mentioned, I’ll need to test how this works first, but I still intend to share this content with the $3 tier before making it public… now sure about the details on how I’ll do this just yet tho. (maybe a week earlier? Or something like that)
Anyway, these post has been long enough, and while I’ll most likely make these changes since I think are for the best, I’ll be checking your responses on the comments below, so feel free to speak your mind and tell me what you think about it :3
I also tried to tackle most of the stuff that came to mind, but if anything is unclear, please let me know as well :p
Thanks for your time and your continuous support!

pretty much I'm allowing myself to skip polls and suggestions if they are not needed, but adding the exclusive page(s) as a motivation to stay on this tier :3 (also a chance to do some side content)

We're doing the $5 tier currently so if nothing is being taken away from that one we're okay with changes.

I contribute to help support you to produce your art, because I like it. Sometimes, out of the blue, you do something in a short, single or a longer work, where the artwork blows my mind and sometimes you come up with a quirky twist or a cool story arc that really stimulates my imagination. Sometimes you do both and that's amazing. I'll keep contributing while you keep producing great art, whatever form it takes.

Just upped to $5 so either way you've got my support. Love your stuff even if i don't often comment.
Well, I'm a 3 dollar supporter since 2017. I don't have any problem to raise to 5. I love your art so, I'll raise to 5 the next month. 😁 Saludos desde Perú!

Once-a-year vault exclusive for the $10 Patreons?

😊

I really appreciate that! I've been thinking about adding a little something to that tier too since I know many stay there even after getting the vault goodies... but I'm unsure yet, just deciding on making the change to this tier was hard enough u.u
