NEW TIER SETUP

Good evening! I want to start this off by saying thank you. All of you, new and old, have made getting through this year possible for me. I appreciate each and every one of you more than I can even express. It's been a rough year for EVERYONE, and you guys have made mine easier. For your kindness, your patience, and your support, I thank you. I hope 2021 is kinder to us than 2020 has been. 

I've done my best to make my plans in this regard fairly clear, so I really hope that this news doesn't catch anyone by surprise! The long and short of it is that the Reward Tiers have been changed. Why did I do this? You may ask. This is actually an adjustment that I probably should have figured out a little while ago, in all honesty. 

My reward tiers have been the same since I launched the page five years ago. My workload, my skills, and my rates have changed CONSIDERABLY since then. I was fresh out of school and working as a barista, and art was my side job. Art has been my full time job for a few years now. My queue is constantly full and I always have stuff to do-- which I'm very grateful for! But while my commission rates have changed to match my skillset and my work capacity, my patron tiers have not. So now I'm making that change!

I know that some of the changes are somewhat radical, so I want to clarify that I'm altering them in a way that I believe is fair to all of us. The most noticeable changes are which tiers get art rewards, and at which levels. This was the hardest decision for me to make, since I know that's what y'all benefit from the most, but I believe I made the changes as fair as possible. All of the tiers still offer art at a discounted rate, so that you're saving by being a patron rather than buying commissions outright. 

I hope that these changes make sense, and that they don't seem unfair! That being said, if you want to lower your subscription or unsubscribe, I completely understand. Thank you all again for supporting me- I'm so, so glad to have you. 

P.S. December's bundlepack will be going up early tomorrow, as soon as I have daylight to photograph my sketchbook in.
