PrePoses Or Commissions? A Move From Patreon
🕑 Added 2022-03-02 07:58:17 +0000 UTCHeyo all, very important and sudden announcement;
I've mentioned before (a little while back) about planning to cut down the slots on Patreon in the future - but then they made a very poorly timed decision on a Ukranian charity, which is hastening that desire to move away quite a bit: https://t.co/LxYpI1PTC7
I'd like to know people's feedback for what would be of interest to you for future art opportunities, as the chance presents itself to shake things up:
1/ No PrePose or art slots, but instead: Monthly commission openings, approx 6-10 commission openings, including an option to use one of the PrePoses. There will be no subscription system, and commissions will be manually selected from each opening.
- Not guaranteed to get a commission every opening, and commissions are more expensive than the PrePose tiers, but you get full reign on the artwork. Opportunities for sequences and multi-character pieces.
2/ Keep monthly PrePose slots, and the Patrons currently on them, just moving to a different subscription platform (most likely Ko-Fi).
- Guaranteed art every month, and PrePoses are considerably cheaper than commissions, but are limited to the selection of poses. I would continue to add to the selection, which I would cease to do with Option 1.
I would also like to know what kind of grace period you all would want, as I understand some folks have a few poses planned out in advance. I would also be willing to work to accomodate those who have ongoing series in the change-over if the first option should prove popular. Please feel free to input, either here or on the discord, and thank you so much for working with me to figure things out
(Also I feel the need to make it clear I don't judge anyone who continues to use Patreon! They are still doing some good aid, but this is just the latest thing that makes me not too happy using them any more :( )
((Also also in the interest of clarity, one of the votes on Option 1 is mine, I accidentally clicked it and cannot unclick X3 ))

Option 1 sounds good too because it means those of us that can't get a propose slot can apply for a commission when they can afford it.

Option 2 sounds nice that way everyone can still keep their pledges the way they are (I adore my preposes when I get them so much its like a mini christmas present eveytime) honestly just mainly I want an excuse to support you monthly too personally tbh cause it just feels nice to be able to! ;v; That probably sounds silly just wanted to share what I was thinking and stuff :3 Sorry that patreon did a cruddy thing though on top of it ;;
