Reward Stream and MAJOR UPDATE

Hey everyone! First I wanted to let you know I'll be hosting the reward stream for last months patrons This weekend, that is to say, Saturday and Sunday (11/3 + 11/4)  from noon PST to 4pm PST remember all the links and rules are in the pinned messages of my patron-channel in the discord server (https://discord.gg/3vkHNtv)! And I (try to remember to) wipe the patron sign up sheet about a half hour before each stream so you've got to show up to participate

ALSO: VERY IMPORTANT NEWS: 

I'm going to be launching abberrants this weekend (or maybe next week??) , and with that launch I'll be making some Pretty Drastic changes to the patreon so that it supports maintaining a regular schedule for the webcomic instead of regulating how many posts i make per month by how much the support level is currently at.

What are these changes?

  1. I’m switching from a monthly reward schedule to a weekly one. I’ll be updating five days a week with a paid post every Friday. This means more content coming out, and also that I’ll be hosting more reward streams. 
  2. Reward streams will be more frequent, but also in shorter bursts. (I’m thinking four hours of reward streams every Other week, based on the level of support I currently have, with the possibility of more or less hours depending on the goals that are met) 
  3. THE PLEDGE TIERS ARE CHANGING: I’m not trying to rip anyone off, and I don’t expect the $20 pledges to be okay with going from twenty dollars a month to twenty a week with such short notice. So I’ll be adjusting the reward tiers to reflect a similar pledge to what you’re all currently giving. (There might be some additional changes down the line, but I’ll do my best to give you a heads up and get your opinions before I implement anything drastic) 
  4. The Biggest Tier Change will be happening to the mystery box tier. I’m thinking about applying the same logic to this tier as I intend to apply to the others, but because your rewards are inherently different from the others, and there’s only two of you I’d love to hear your opinion on the matter. 

I’ll be updating the patreon This Week. I expect this major shift will probably rub a few people the wrong way, after all, it’s a big change. And to anyone who doesn’t want to pledge anymore, I just want to say thank you for all the support you’ve given me so far! Thanks for your time and your input and your pledges and helping me get to where I am now! 

I’ve got a little more research to do before I do a full face lift on the patreon page. So it won’t be happening until after this weekends reward stream at Earliest. Please take this time to let me know if you have any thoughts, comments, questions, or concerns! You’re obviously welcome to bring things up here in the server, but for those of us who are a bit more shy I’ve made a google form so you can post them anonymously, and I’ll be the only one who sees them!

But the specific guidelines of my plan CURRENTLY are: 

$1 tier: (merged with the $5 tier) Now gets access to headshots! And also early access, I’ll be releasing the comics a week ahead of schedule on patreon, and updating everywhere else after you guys have had access to it. First dibs on all commission openings each month, and access to the Patron-only ask box (https://ask.fm/temixart )

$10 tier drops down to $3, the rewards stay the same. (sketch reward stream access)

$20 tier drops down to $5, rewards stay the same. (colored sketch reward stream access)

Mystery box: The current plan is to drop the tier down to $25. Access to all other pledge rewards, and a sketch (1 char) every pledge period, or the option to save up each month to get the same level of finish as you’ve been getting so far. 

That should be it for the most important changes. 

I am REALLY nervous about overhauling everything after finding a balance between workload and rewards that has been working here so far, but I’m also really excited to start putting out content regularly, and couldn’t think of a better way to support my desire to get into comic work than this. I’m sure there are going to be some kinks to work out, and I hope you’ll bear with me as I figure out the best way to do this passion project and give you guys the stuff you want <3 I’ll try to give a weeks heads up before any future changes as we figure out what works best for all of us!

Please remember, your thoughts and feedback are valuable to me, and once again, if you don’t feel like commenting publicly, can leave your suggestions or comments Here:
