Thank you + general changes and future
🕑 Added 2021-02-24 22:38:07 +0000 UTCI'd like to thank everyone who decided to support me up until now. It's hard for me to put it in words, but your generosity greatly improved time i have to spend on drawing and producing content. I have had way more time for live streams as well, and i have been motivated to draw and explore new areas. So i would like to thank you very much for supporting me up until this point ♥
Now with gratitude out of the way, it's time to address less cheerful news (depending on your outlook i guess). I have redone some of my tiers due to my plans for the future. In theory not much will change, and also quite a lot will change. My basic tier still gives you access to full resolution picture + basic and text less edit, Comics PSD files and voting. Of course, all posts so far will remain in this category as well. You will not lose access to any content already posted.
The new implemented tier will give you access to all edits + PSD files for my every picture + suggestion threads for next characters to draw. Raffles and all randomized benefits have been removed from all tiers, since they're against Patreon ToS, so selection of suggested characters will be based on my personal preference or voting system.
Lastly, if you have any complaints regarding the changes please comment in this thread. Please be polite and constructive while doing so. There's definitely room for discussion.
Thank you ♥

That one is a suggestion thread where people suggest characters. Vote threads is where i'll post different sketches and people will choose which one should be drawn. In fact i'm working on one right now. And as mentioned before, basic edits will stay in tier1 as it was until now. I will just be doing more edits than usually, and some of them will be for tier 2 only. As was discussed this will probably be for time of 2 weeks or so before they move to tier 1 as well. It is still something i'm figuring out details for based on feedback.

If Tier 1 is supposed to voting then how come I can't on the newest post? Also some edits, but not all are being moved to tier 2?

I second this. $5 is typical for that level of content.

When I signed up I was surprised to see it was only $2. $5 is more than fair, keep up the good work :)

Thank you for your feedback. The one month exclusivity isn't actually a bad idea. I have very barebone experience with animation (the only animations i ever did were skeletal mesh animations), but i am looking into a way to do drawing recordings for speedpaint videos in the future. Again thank you very much for the feedback, it's definitely something i will have look into.

Not sure why people want exclusive content other than to flex their disposable income, but I can’t really think of anything that would make the tiers distinct, other than things like making voting exclusive to higher tiers or access to a discord server. You don’t do animations, but that could be something to think about for the future. Maybe have the edits available for higher tiers a month or so before dropping into the laps of lower tiers?

If you have a look at list of my previous posts, up until now they all contained edits that are still within the Tier 1. The only real thing you will lose access to is PSD files, which were downloaded by a very small portion of subscribers. What i want to provide for tier 2 subs is really just more variation on edits than usual. I understand your dissatisfaction, yet, there are genuinely people who want multiple tiers and exclusive content and i still have to find some middle ground to satisfy most of my subscribers. What would seem the most fair scenario to handle this for you ?

I mean I get it, just wish it wasn’t happening. Almost all the people I give money to have increased their prices. I just can’t get behind another price hike for content

Thank you for the feedback. Definitely something i will check out and optimize.

Tier 1 will still have the base edits such as textless or basic spread edit. I however want to start making more edits per picture as seen on my last Angel post. Varied edits like that will be behind tier 2 along with PSD file, if that makes sense.

So tier 1 won’t have access to the edits?

Hi DankFlank, thanks for your amazing work. I think it's normal, you want to change and to developp new possibilities with tiers. Thanks to this, new contributors would be interested and more interesting for you. Let's try, we will see.

This all seems pretty good, keeping it varied enough and growing in a way that hopefully continues to be manageable! I think arranging the tier descriptions to highlight what line items are added above previous tiers would be easier to see at a glance, if there's a difference between 'full resolution picture' and full resolution pictures and edits' if the first tier already has some edits but not as many as the second

I feel bad that I didn't support you sooner! For being such an awesome artist! I'm very curious to see what things you'll do next and of course I always love Cinnamon~
