Hello everyone! With new patrons appearing, me being confused about which posts to assign access to (specifically HD versions) and starting to make nude versions regularly, I feel like now’s a good time to change update my Patreon page again. I’ll be implementing these changes by January 2019. Feel free to read the changes below, and make comments here or anywhere else.

tl;dr:

  • Except for HD, nude versions, and the downloadable RARchives, I’ve never really liked locking my artwork behind a paywall. So all artwork I’ll make (aside from the three previously mentioned) will only be timed exclusives. The normal quality versions of the artwork will eventually be available to everyone, though I’ll be spacing them at least 24 hours.
  • If something can be accessed early/can see the WIP, you can usually see their HD versions too. I didn’t want to make separate posts for HD and early access.
  • I’ve already changed the Goals. Not much of a change, but I’ll be making more bonus art and fan art as more people become patrons.
  • Moved some of the benefits around since I feel you’re getting a lot of value with it already plus you can still see nude versions of sketches.
  • nomAd tier removed since I feel it doesn’t really do much for me and you guys. Logged-in RAWRs will remove all ads instead and I’ve replaced it with a new $10 tier. The new tier will allow you to suggest names and designs for new characters, have more priority/weight for bonus art suggestions and Episode Polls, and finally, an exclusive fully colored bonus art suggestion just for this tier. Oh, and I suppose your name will look nicer in the mentions.
  • Only RAWRs and above can suggest stuff for bonus art and fan art now. And you can suggest any of them to be pinups 😏. I’ll make nude versions of them later, if applicable. I’ll also message all patrons with access to nude versions with a direct link to the artwork.
  • Most bonus art/fan art will be sketches, but at least 1 from both categories will be inked+colored each month
