Sept Commission Info:

I meant to make a journal for this month (august) but its been sort of a wild one. I've been fine, though going through some turbulent emotions/mental states but I'm getting back on with things and pushing through my workload again. So it's nearly September, which is a little insane, and I'm thinking I want to do another "Draw All September" Challenge. Its been a few years but I'm excited for the challenge. So for any of you who hasn't followed me a while, the challenge is essentially a draw every day challenge for the entire month. Usually I do it via commission/ych slots but I'm not going to limit myself solely to that as I don't want to burn myself out for October.

So this will be the schedule and idea,
Everday I will be posting 1 piece of art. Mon - Fri will be commission/ych pieces and Sat-Sun may be commissions/ych or may be personal pieces.
Of course, all of these will hit my Patreon first, but I'm going to try to get these slots locked day and day or two in advance.

Commissions I'll be taking will range from Sketches to Cell Shaded, Bustshot to Fullbody but I'll also do Icons, Badges, & Chibi/Simplified Style.
I won't be taking on Ref Sheets this time around (as these take quite a while, but I do aim to finish & post Mint's updated/new Ref by the end of Sept!)
I will only take on commissions by the week, which will depend more on the YCHs that I make and sell as to how many commission slots I sell per week. c:

I'm very excited for September and I hope you are as well <3

As for Updates to my Patreon.
For Tiers 1 - 3, I've made & updates the tier badges. I'm super proud of them and will be completing the last of them soon.
But I've also made updates to the Tiers Rewards. I wanted to balance them out a bit better and reevaluate some of the rewards, so that they were fulfillable monthly.

My Patreon's Page

First, I'm rearranged my Tiers. Tier 1 - Tier 3 are still the same in price but Tier 4 is now $15 instead of $25. I reworked some rewards to reflect this change, wanted to make it more affordable while also feel like I was offering maintainable and obtainable options. Should I gain more following and support there, I may add another Tier that includes some small merch. We'll see.

So I still have 4 Tiers ranging from just $2 usd to $15 usd. The tiers are as follows.

Tier 1 : (Tip Jar) $2 usd
This one is in case you want to show your support but can't pledge more due to circumstance, etc.
Perks
---Vote in Polls
---Early Access to Completed Art (commissions, personal, etc)

Tier 2 : $5 usd
Perks
---Both previous perks
---Sketches & Wips
---Free (colored) Bustshot Sketch (once per month)
---Plus a one-time 20% off Commission Coupon

Tier 3 : $10 usd
Perks
---All previous perks
---Exclusive Downloadable Content (linearts, icons, etc)
---Plus a one-time 20% off Commission Coupon

Tier 4 : $15 usd
Perks
---All previous perks (except bustshot -- its been upgraded below!)
---Free (colored) Full-body Sketch (once per month)
---Plus a one-time 25% off Commission Coupon


I'm going to try to focus on preparing more of those Downloadable Content items for the upper two tiers, as I haven't been as much.
I'd like to do at least 2-3 Linearts that are Exclusives on Patreon, which I might also offer for a small run of YCHs to generate interest/advertise. <3
Some linearts will be single species or characters, some will be icons with multiple species -- I might also do voting in the Tier 3 & 4 range just for what you want to see. <3

Most of what has changed in my perks is the price on Tier 4 and the "Coupons" in all Tiers.
The Coupons are now bigger, 1-time only use Coupons, when you support me. However, these Coupons are more percentage offer (bigger) and can be used on up to 2 commissions ordered at once! <3 And these coupons can be used at any time, so while you could yours as soon as you join -- you can also wait it out to use months down the road too! No monthly deadlines or anything, just a one-time coupon for a bigger discount that never expires! And if you upgrade from a Tier to the next level some months after supporting (because you want the benefits or just want to help me out) then you will still get that next Tiers one-time coupon too!
