Term 1 Rewards
Added 2019-11-24 00:15:30 +0000 UTCMy "first" set of rewards is here! In this new system, I'm going to refer to each month as a term so tier 3 patrons can easily choose which past term they'd like as part of their rewards. Since this is the first time I'm posting with this new system, I'll give a brief summary of how and when you should expect to receive your rewards. This month is a bit unique since we're switching over, so the rewards are a bit behind but everything will be on schedule starting in December!
*note: December is term 2 and January is term 3
Term 2 (December)
Day 1 - Patrons charged for term 2 rewards
Day 5 - Term 2 rewards posted
Day 5-12 - Poll for term 3 illustration
Term 3 (January)
Day 1 - Patrons charged for term 3 rewards
Day 5 - Term 3 rewards posted
Day 5-12 - Poll for term 4 illustration
Patrons who pledge throughout the month will be eligible to receive that month's term! For example, if you pledge between Dec 1 - Dec 31, you will receive term 2 rewards per the schedule above. Tier 1 are $1 patrons, tier 2 are $5 patrons, and tier 3 are $12 patrons.
HOW TO RECEIVE REWARDS
Patrons will receive a tier specific message from me. They will loosely follow this format:
Tier 1 - Message will include 1 Dropbox link and password to view rewards.
Tier 2 - Message will include 2 Dropbox links and respective passwords to view both tier 1 and tier 2 rewards.
Tier 3 - Message will include 1 Dropbox link to a folder containing all 3 tier's rewards and a password.
Please note that all links will expire on the last day of the month at 11:59 PM CST. You will no longer have access to those rewards once the month is over so please download the files prior to the link expiring.
Everyone should be receiving a message from me within the next hour with your rewards. This is my first time doing this so I expect growing pains. Thank you for working with me and being patient while I figure this out! As always, thank you for your support, it's really appreciated. I hope that with this new system, I can dedicate lots more time to create content for my patrons.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me!
tl;dr
you get the terms rewards for the months you pledge
example: you pledge december, you get december rewards
THANK YOU

You are correct in that tier 3 is generally for psds and process videos. That image was posted to my Twitter last month, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/Magister_JP/status/1184213105485778947?s=19 I just want to clarify that there will be no "Tier 3 exclusive images". That tier is for psds, process videos, and those who would like a set of rewards from a previous term. Tier 2 will have full access to my art and all its variations.
2019-11-24 08:45:14 +0000 UTCI was under the impression that Tier 2 supporters would have access to all of your art and Tier 3 was just for the PSDs and process vids. Do Tier 2 supporters not get a JPG or PNG of the Ariane x Panda picture or is it supposed to be a Tier 3 exclusive?
2019-11-24 08:34:49 +0000 UTCHey, I'm sorry you disagree with my decision to do this. The reason for this watermark is not to remind you of who I am, I realize that everyone who pledges is aware. I've had an experience where someone who had access to my .psds via Patreon impersonated me and sold my work. When I tried to report this, the person in question supplied .psds of my work to "prove" that they were me and were allowed to continue selling my work. It was a long, complicated ordeal so rather than not sharing my .psds, I decided to watermark them. While I realize this may bother a lot of patrons, I feel more comfortable having it watermarked to avoid this happening again. The only items that have watermarks are the items that I sell as prints at conventions and .psds. All of my sketches don't have watermarks. You've been supporting me for a while and I greatly appreciate it. If I find a way to prevent the theft from happening without watermarking, I will happily do that.
2019-11-24 02:07:31 +0000 UTCWhat are you putting giant watermarks in the middle of patreon reward images? That is hugely disrespectful to the people who give you money. It's like walking up to someone, them handing you a ten dollar bill, and you slapping them in the face. Putting watermarks on patreon exclusive content is one of the worst things you can do. We're already supporting you, we don't need reminded of who you are. You can't even remove the damn thing from the psd without taking out the outline one of Ariane's arms and sunglasses, so what is even the point of including the psd in the first place?
