CHANGES IN 2020! (Important! PLEASE READ!!)
🕑 Added 2020-01-03 22:01:26 +0000 UTCHi folks! Thank you all so much for sticking with me through 2019 while this patreon got its sea legs and we figured out the best way to make things happen :) You guys really got me through the year, and this is the most comfortable and happy with a patreon I've ever been!
In a semi-final act of pruning the roses and really streamlining this Patreon, I’ve made a few changes, some big, some small, to things around here!
PLEASE SEE THE CHANGES TO YOUR TIER!
IF YOU ARE A $30+ PATRON, YOU MUST RE-SELECT A NEW TIER!
(There is a NEW $30+ tier, but its benefits are different. Make sure to select it or another tier of your choosing as you are currently “unassigned” to a tier, and will not receive new post notifications or access!!!) Please note that I am currently in the process of editing -every single patreon post- on the site to be available to $30 patrons. I have to do this one-at-a-time! Thanks for your patience.
Here’s what’s new around here in 2020, arranged by tier:
- $2+: A Complete Online Gallery! I dont really have an online gallery anywhere that’s easy to browse! FA is not my favorite, Twitter is difficult to browse, and Tumblr is long dead… So i’ll be using Patreon as an organized, tagged, and well-maintained gallery for everything I create in 2020. Commissions, doodles, sketches, everything!
- Of course, you still get early access to my monthly illustration, a month before the rest of the world!
- $6+: Why fix what ain’t broke? This was by far the most popular tier in 2019, and it won’t be getting any adjustment for 2020. You still get access to everything I post (with the addition of access to the new gallery mentioned above) PLUS access to the monthly illustration AND all of the edits, alts, and additional versions I create!
- $15+: Heavier Focus on Patreon for Commissions! This tier blew UP in the late half of 2019! In 2020 I’ll be putting more time and energy into making sure those of you supporting me on this level get a commission if you really want one. There will be a few changes to the commission process to support this (i.e. time limits for responses, etc so that I can make sure I am able to address everyone, and so that it doesn’t take the whole month to figure out what we’re drawing) but aside from that, no change!
- $30+: The Philanthropist’s Tier! In 2019 this tier really got overlooked and didn’t get it’s due. This year, I’ll be refocusing this tier to be more true to what it is: A way to support me above and beyond any other tier here, just because you want to keep me on my feet. I’ll be doing monthly shoutouts via my telegram group, Patreon and Twitter for those who graciously join this tier!
- Other Changes & removals: Due to being often overwhelmed and skimping on the content, I am doing away with the monthly animations. I do still plan to do them and post them here in my free time, but the pressure of doing one -every month- led me to putting out sub-par content that was rushed and forced, and I’d much rather make something nice and take my time on it for you than just crank out something sloppy to cover my dues. Additionally, since I was unable to provide them for almost the entire 2nd half of 2019, I have also removed the ‘monthly request’ feature for the $30 tier to make it more honest about the way it functions - as a tip/support feature, rather than a incomplete/owed content tier. I am hoping the addition of high quality, organized content in a gallery format for all my patrons will make up for these removals.
That’s it folks! Thank you so much for your patronage and I’m very excited to bring you along with me on my journey through 2020.
Much love and thanks,
- Kihu

Happy New Year and I wish you to have even more success in your work in 2020! And of course, new year and new changes!

Oh, okay. Thank you.

Not annoying at all! I just wanted to make sure we got everything squared away for you so that you were still getting what you were paying for :) Just checked and you're all squared away! thanks a ton for being part of that tier!
Cooner
Good luck with the restructure! :)

I also have to go through each post by hand and re-mark them as available to the NEW $30 tier... I didnt know it would do that when I made the edit so it looks like i have a good deal of tedium ahead. Thanks for your patience while I get all those lil edits made! If only Patreon had a 'bulk edit' action...
Okay never mind figured it out, had to check an email.
Griffon the Grizzly
I don't know if I did it right. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come off as annoying.
Kihu
Please go to where you would edit your pledge and re-subscribe to the $30 tier! That will fix everything for you :)
I updated to the new tier, though the post from lower tiers are locked and it says unlocking them by becoming a patron.
Griffon the Grizzly
Uhhhh I'm still lost

You are still currently pledging $30 but you are not pledged to the $30 tier! I.e. you're just tipping me $30 a month, but you do not have access to any of the benefits that come with your pledge. To fix this, please go to the right side of this panel and join the $30 tier (will make no change for you) if you would like to maintain your current pledge level! Thanks for being a member of that tier :3

I'm sorry, I don't understand. I checked my membership and it says I'm still at the tier.
