Some important changes. Please read! ✨

Hello there! I hope you are doing well.

For a couple of months, I have intended to turn around a few things here on my Patreon page, but I never forced myself hard enough to set the wheels in motion. That said, I wish to inform you of some upcoming changes I will start to apply from the beginning of February. These changes are mostly related to the type of content I will share, restructuring a couple of tiers.

1. Characters Polls

As of recently, I have craved making more and more OC content. I could argue that I can easily find the time to work on OC art between commissions, projects and other Patreon responsibilities. But the truth is that most of the time, I have this tiny yet persistent feeling in the back of my head that I should not be working on that. Not right now. I wish to change that. And to do it, there will be no more monthly fanart polls.

Please take note of the fact that they will no longer be every month. That doesn’t mean, however, that I will entirely remove them. Throughout the time my Patreon page has been up, I have created gratifying illustrations of the characters you have suggested. For which I am immensely thankful. It is always good to change topics and the main focus of my artwork here and there. That said, I will occasionally ask for character suggestions we can, later on, decide together. Just as we’ve done thus far.

Though it freaks me out to make this change in particular, knowing that my OCs were not only often suggested for the polls, but won, makes me feel I’m walking in the right direction. It makes me so happy to know people want to see more of them in any particular regard. That motivates me to do art and create more illustrations: you have probably noticed the amount of OC art I’ve shared this month in comparison. That feeling… I want to keep it growing and allow myself to share more of it with you.

2. Tiers

I also want to re-organize the existing tiers in a way that is easier for me to manage all the content. So they will look as follow:

Music lover:

• Monthly general support
• Occasional sketches and process shots
• Access to announcements and Patreon Journals
• A virtual hug in your inbox

Soloist:

• Rewards from the previous tier
• Early access to monthly sketches and exclusive illustrations in HD
• Time-lapse videos
• Ability to vote in occasional polls

Composer:

• Rewards from previous tiers
• Access to HD uncensored NSFW artworks
• Layered PSD files to study

And those are the main changes. I would understand if, to some of you, they are not likeable and decide to unsubscribe. However, I believe that this way, I will produce content that I enjoy and motivates me to sit in front of the tablet ad draw like there is no tomorrow.

Lastly, I would like to thank you for your support and patience. I hope the artworks I have shared thus far have been to your liking. If you have any suggestions of possible rewards I could consider in the future or overall feedback, please feel free t drop them in the comments below. I am very much interested in knowing your thoughts about this.

Thanks for reading! Stay safe. :D
