Patreon's fee mess and change in rewards
Added 2017-12-13 21:11:10 +0000 UTCHello patrons!
In case you didn't know, on Dec. 6 Patreon notified users than on Dec. 18 they would be changing the service fee. This was supposed to help creators to take more money but at the cost of charging more to patrons.

I was silent of the situation because i was trying to figure how to change the current pledges to take a bit of the hit and make you guys don't get charged a lot with the new service fee.
But Patreon listened to feedback and today they have announced they are not going to apply this new change. You can read more about it here: https://blog.patreon.com/not-rolling-out-fees-change
With that said I will be doing changes to the rewards of the current tier levels. I hope this can bring more people to our community.
Level 1
- Access to public illustrations in high resolution + 1 variant (Doesn't include previous published works at the time you pledge)
Like I've said $1 means a lot, and i want to be more friendly with the small supporters.
Level 2
- 1 of the old exclusive illustrations, every month.
Level 3
- Patron-exclusive Illustration!, every month.
- PSD files.
The $5 pledge seems to be the most popular option for now and I've decided to move the level 4 rewards to this tier so more people can appreacite them.
Level 4
- Suggest one female character and I will draw it (poses, outfit and everything else is decided by me). This is not a commission and you can't suggest the same character twice.
With the level 4 rewards being moved down a new reward appears. I feel this is a more accurate reward for a $10 pledge. Before you only got a random character that probably you are not a fan of but now you know what to expect! As mentioned in the reward this is not a commission, in a commission you decide every detail in the picture, you suggest the character and I will do my best to not disappoint. Oh and this will be only limited to 4 slots so I can keep up with everything else.
Please note that these are new changes, everything else currently listed on the rewards description will remain, the new changes will start on January 2018. I feel these changes will make more worth your pledge no matter what option you choose but if you have anything to say about this please comment I'd love to hear it!
As always thank you for your support :)
P.S. Sorry if my english is not good.

2017-12-14 19:47:20 +0000 UTCI'm not quite fond of the T4 reward. I'm happy that you don't draw the usual oversaturated stuff like Overwatch or League girls. I'd welcome if you at least decide some characters on your own.
