✧ Starting Fresh: Patreon update w/ new tiers!
🕑 Added 2021-07-21 13:17:36 +0000 UTCHello my dear friends!
I'm back yet again with another Patreon update! This time I wanted to talk about my upcoming Patreon changes and the updated tiers+rewards.
First, a little story time: It's been exactly one year since I introduced my NSFW tiers, Lily of the Valley (18+) and Foxglove, and offered them as Patreon rewards. Initially I created the separate tiers (SFW and NSFW) since it made it easier for people to simply chose whether they wanted nudity or not for their physical rewards.
Well, somewhere down along the line, it became too much!! Making two new products every month was causing me a lot of stress and burnout, which in turn caused a lot of delays for rewards. I just want to say I'm really sorry. I feel like I let you guys down and made myself look irresponsible. I should have done something about this sooner but I felt like such a failure for not being able to keep up with my promises so I kept going at it in hopes that it would eventually become easier.
With that being said, I am going to downsize the amount of tiers I'm offering to 3 simple ones: newsletter, digital rewards, and physical rewards. This will make it easier for me to focus on taking the time to work on and experiment with my illustrations while being financially supported to do so. The first 3 tiers will be renamed and updated which will be effective starting August 1st and the others (Lily of the Valley 18+ and Foxglove ) will be deleted.
$2 Honey Clover:
⇢ Monthly newsletter
- Access to my Patreon feed 〰️ featuring exclusive updates on new products, process posts, behind-the-scenes content

$5 Lavender:
⇢ Monthly digital downloads

- Downloadable high-res illustrations
- Includes previous rewards
$15 Sweet Violet:
⇢ receive a monthly postcard + sticker!
- 4" x 6" art print + vinyl sticker mailed in a first-class envelope
- Includes all previous digital rewards
I'm thankful for all the support I got from the NSFW tiers. It gave me the space to explore sapphic nudity on a platform that doesn't restrict content creators on the type of work they create and offer. This is why my Patreon will remain labeled as NSFW according to Patreon guidelines. I love the direction that my art is heading and I want to keep doing what I want to do without the unnecessary stress.
Thank you for your support and I hope to see you next month!
Stay magical 🌈 ✨

P.S Just wanted to share a fun little fact that all the new tiers will be renamed after flowers that were often referenced in Sappho's poems! 🌼

Thank you so much! It's something that I thought might my life easier but quite the opposite!! I'm also really happy about just making my art explore and becoming more erotica and NSFW (:
I’m so happy that you’re combining the NSFW tier! I think it makes a lot more sense and it will be easier on you, and I’m so excited for what comes next😇🥰
Aw! I was so worried when I went to join and saw the hold on things, but this all sounds totally lovely and like it will be the best outcome for you, and your platform, and I look forward to getting to be a Sweet Violet when the time comes!
hehe it's a fun little easter egg that I thought some might enjoy 💕
Thank you Jiji!! I'm glad I tried it out but I think I still need to learn that it's okay and like you said, not a big deal!
as long as i can still get my beautiful fae lady rewards i’m happy :)) also patience is a virtue i possess so no problem waiting while you mentally recoup 🙏🏻
