Updating my Patreon Tiers again
🕑 Added 2019-05-14 20:19:35 +0000 UTCHello!
I'm going to be as transparent as I can with what I'm planning to do to the tiers as of the 1st next month.
None of the tiers are changing price! They are staying at $1 and $5!
To tell you all the truth I've left my job as of a week ago for personal reasons, and I'm going to open commissions to soften the blow of leaving the position.
I'll be opening my commissions next month (1st of June 2019).
This does mean that this next month I can't fulfill fully drawn and coloured monthly Patreon requests for the $5 tiers, and I'm terribly sorry for this.
PLEASE NOTE: I'm still doing monthly requests for $5 patrons but they will be pencil sketches instead. More of that below.
Example of a pencil sketch:

However I'm planning to set up a system to try and give back to you guys what you pay $5 and $1 a month for, so here's the current plans for what I intend to change:
New $1 rewards:
- A free pencil sketch request for joining! (This is a one time deal)
- Access to rough WIPs
- Month-early access to speed-draws
- Exclusive Discord title
- Access to exclusive Discord channel just for Patreon supporters
- A monthly Patreon poll exclusively for patrons!
- Access to a monthly summary which has every drawing I've done that month, plus extras like Lineart, image variants, and the original source file for you to take a look at!
What has changed here is that since I'm no longer offering monthly streams I'm instead offering month-early access to Speed Draw videos.
I'm also, instead of a fully drawn and coloured request for joining, you get a coloured pencil sketch worth $4 instead.
But that's not all. Since I'm taking away some other stuff if you're a Patreon you're also entitled to money off of commissioning me. More on that in a bit.
So what you're getting for $1:
- A coloured pencil sketch for joining (worth $4)
- Every 3 months you're entitled to a loyalty pencil sketch request (That's 4 requests a year)
- Access to monthly speed-draws
- Access to a monthly summary that has the .clip/.psd source file, every image I've drawn that month, and image variants that are exclusive to Patreon.
- Access to a special discord title and channel for Patrons
- Access to a monthly Patron-only poll
- Commission priority
With that cleared up, lets discuss the changes to the $5 tier.
New $5 rewards:
- A free "pencil" sketch request for joining! (This is a one time deal)
- Access to rough WIPs
- Month-early access to any speed-draw I do that month
- Exclusive Discord title
- Access to exclusive Discord channel just for Patreon supporters
- Two monthly Patreon polls, one being exclusively for $5 patrons!
- Access to a monthly summary which has every drawing I've done that month, plus extras like Lineart, image variants, and the original source file for you to take a look at!
- A guaranteed pencil" sketch request of anything you want drawn once a month
- Request priority (I'll draw yours before the $1 tier)
- Month early access to Flash games and exclusive beta testing!
Again because I'm no longer offering monthly streams I'm instead offering month-early access to any Speed Draw videos I make that month.
Also, instead of a fully drawn and coloured request every month, you get a coloured pencil sketch every month instead. This is so I'm not absolutely swamped every month simply by Patreon requests.
Since I'm taking away some other stuff if you're a Patreon you're also entitled to money off of commissioning me. More on this further below.
So what you're getting for $5:
- A coloured pencil sketch for joining (worth $4)
- A monthly coloured pencil sketch request (worth $4)
- Every 3 months you're entitled to a loyalty pencil sketch request (That's 4 requests a year)
- Access to every monthly speed-draw I make
- Access to a monthly summary that has the .clip/.psd source file, every image I've drawn that month, and image variants that are exclusive to Patreon.
- Access to a special discord title and channel for Patrons
- Access to a monthly Patron-only poll
- Month-early access to every animation I make that month
- Commission priority
Commission prices and your Patreon discounts:
Okay let me clear up the commission confusion now.
So I stated a little higher up that you guys will also get access to an exclusive Patreon discount on my commissions. This is because I'm having to take Patreon rewards away from you, so instead of taking them away and replacing them with a simpler sketch every month I'm instead giving you those sketches AND neat little price reductions on my commissions too.
Also you will receive commission priority. If you make a commission I can promise it to you before other non-patron commissioners.
Here's a price rundown:
(Patreon perk: $1 patrons / $5 patrons)
Sketches:-
- Rough pencil sketches - $3 (Patreon perk: $1 / Free*)
- Rough pencil sketches w/ colour - $4 (Patreon perk: $3 / Free*)
- Rough pencil sketches (short animation) - $6 (Patreon perk: $3)
- Thick-lined sketches - $6 (Patreon perk: $5 / $3)
- Thick-lined sketches w/ colour - $7 (Patreon perk: $5 / $3)
Drawings:-
- Cleaned lineart - $9 (Patreon perk: $7 / $5)
- Finished drawings w/ colour - $10 (Patreon perk: $7 / $5)
- Finished drawings w/ colour & background - $12 (Patreon perk: $10 / $8)
- Finished drawings w/ slight animation - $15 (Patreon perk: $12 / $10)
Homestuck:-
- Homestuck style - $6 (Patreon perk: $3 / Free*)
Animations:-
- Animated Edit - $15+ (Patreon perk: $12+)
- Animation (Simple click and play) - $20+ (Patreon perk: $18+)
- Interactive Animation (Quick) - $30+ (Patreon perk: $25+)
- Interactive Animation (Advanced) - $35+ (Patreon perk: $30+)
- Interactive Pregnancy Expansion (Intermediate) - $40+ (Patreon perk: $35+)
- Interactive Pregnancy Expansion (Advanced) - $50+ (Patreon perk: $45+)
*Free: it's free to request as your monthly or joiners sketch. After that monthly or joiners sketch it's whatever the price next to it is.
So I'm hoping this clears up some confusion and makes things clearer heading into next month.
If you choose to cancel your subscription because of this I fully understand.
SO PLEASE! If you're waiting on a monthly request please let me know what those monthly requests are by the 25th of May (11 days) so I can draw them for you before the next month ticks over!
TL;DR:
I'm swapping monthly $5 requests for sketches but replacing them with commission price reductions, and giving you a choice of styles to choose from.
