MUST READ: Huge changes to rewards
🕑 Added 2024-09-10 14:26:37 +0000 UTCI'm writing this post to inform you of all the changes coming to our Patreon rewards. I will simply list the changes first and if you'd like to learn more about why I am making them you can read the explanations below
Here are the changes:
Billing method:
I am switching to subscription billing instead of first-of-the-month billing. This doesn't change anything for those of you who are currently pledged to my page
Rather than being charged on the 1st of the month, new members are charged the day they sign up and then each month on the same day, similar to most subscriptions.
Monthly Packs:
There won't be monthly packs anymore
All the variants and High-Res of an artwork will be posted in the original post. All images will be downloadable via a link in the post. The variants and High-Res will not be removed from the post at the end of the month
PSD Files and Speedpaint Videos will also be downloadable in the same post
Artworks Archive (coming next month >>>Starting October 1st<<<):
Members in Tier3 ($11) or higher will get access to an archive of ALL the artworks I have made since June 2020, including their variants and High-Res
After a month is over I will update the archive with all the artworks I made during that month
Essentially members in Tier3+ will have access to all the art I have made these past 4 years
Animation:
0 changes. Members in Tier3+ keep access to all my animations
Tier4 ($25):
This tier will not have any perks over Tier3 anymore
I will not remove this tier, it will remain for those who still wish to give me extra support, as it was always its main purpose. Make sure to edit your pledge if necessary~
Tier1 ($2):
I am removing this tier
Members in this tier can keep their pledge if they wish
Members in this tier will still have access to WIPs, occasionally a nude variant, just like currently
I will re-adjust the other Tiers names accordingly
----------------------
Explanations:
Why am I doing these changes? Mostly because I want to simplify everything. I've been thinking about this for a very long time. The reason I haven't done it sooner is because I felt like people who were supporting me for longer should have more exclusive content. However the counterargument to that is that there's so many people pirating my content, those of you who support me here on Patreon deserves the most I can give. And I prefer giving to all of you than taking away.
I also believe this system to be a lot more enjoyable for all of you: you don't have to wait to see and enjoy all the variants and you get access to a huge archive of my past work. Of course the older ones are pretty different than what I'm making currently but they're still anime mommies with big boobas haha
Another big reason is the new direction I've been taking (animation). Having monthly packs made sense when I was making 5-6 artworks every month. However now things are a lot more irregular and my projects are long term. Being more flexible takes a lot of pressure off of my shoulders. Not having to fear the pack might be too empty or that I absolutely need to finish this artwork before the end of the week will make my work much less stressful.
About Tier4: I deeply appreciate the support of everyone who pledged to this tier but with the new reward system the current exclusive perks of this tier don't make much sense anymore and I can't think of any new perks I could reasonably put in there.
I hope most of you will be happy with the changes! I'm really grateful for everyone's support, I can't say enough times how amazing it has been lately!! I will keep on doing my best to improve things here and make the best content I can! We're in a bit of a "setting projects up" period but soon we will have very exciting stuff!

Yes, Tier3 and tier4 will have the same content. It's already the case tho, the only advantages of Tier4 was getting past packs and poll suggestions. As was always written in this tier description, it's mainly for people who wish to give my extra support :)

Since I'm Tier 4 will switching to Tier 3 after the year have me basically getting the same content, since Tier 4 doesn't have extras?
