Possible changes in January! - Month of Commissions
🕑 Added 2018-12-07 18:46:46 +0000 UTC Hey everyone!So I have a couple things to announce/run past you all before it happens.
A lot of you are aware I work on a really crappy 2014 11inch laptop, which is currently the reason I can't stream or record process videos anymore. It's just about dead.. And I'm fed up with it. I've been working almost exclusively on my ipad (which is fine, I'm having a blast) but I would prefer to upgrade and have a proper desktop to rely on when I need it.
My plan is, in Jan to dedicate the months art to commissions, in an effort to save up enough for my planned upgrade. I just can't wait for the patreon goal anymore. It's gotten to the point where my laptop has too much trouble saving out PNGs I worked on with ease on my ipad. It's ridiculous.
So what I'm suggesting is opening the two pinup slots as commissions for the $10+ tiers, they would function as a regular slot, where I'd let you guys fill out a form and I'd choose which two I work on for the pinups. You'd get multiple versions of the pinup too. And all would be included in the HD art pack for everyone at the end of the month as per normal!
I'd also open up some smaller slots to fill in the gaps around the pinups. And to make up for the lack of a poll to vote on, in February I'd let you vote again for both the OC and Fan art pinup as normal.
The mini print would function as normal though.
That's what I have rattling around my head for now, but I wanted to ask what you guys felt about it! It would obviously be an insanely busy month for me, but I'm willing to do it.
An upgrade would benefit you guys too, I'd be able to return to streaming, record process videos for youtube again. And I'd be able to provide larger HD files for the following months with all my art, and hopefully more.
Anyway let me know what you all think, It's not set in stone just yet. But I just need to throw that out there before the time comes so I can work out any kinks in the system. And I also value all of your feedback too, so please let me know! I have no way to take on more comms than I have recently due to my usual patreon workload, so saving has been unbearably slow, if not sometimes nonexistent thanks to bills and rent.
Let me know!

I'd personally feel bad about opening one for donations, I'd rather work for the money but I appreciate the suggestion!
I would be down for a commission

Would you get a larger percent of the donations if you went with a go fund me page? Or if you know anything about building a PC some of your audience may have some PC parts that could be mailed out to you.
