Changes coming

I have been thinking long and hard on this, and I know many of you will probably wander off, and I get it. I have been weighing options of changing my levels and rewards on here for some time, and with the tariffs coming and going, and coming again, the way they have been. The insecurities with the postal service and issues with overseas shipping, I may have to scale things down for at the least, the next 3 years..... If you know you know.

I won't be changing anything until the start of the new year of 2026. So you have until then to decide if you wish to stay and what levels you want to stay at.

I will be making the below changes:

$5 will be no physical rewards, just a tip jar option. Digital behind the scenes and Discord included.

$10 will be changed to a 3 inch sticker reward.

$15 The new art print spot. Just the art print though.

$20 will be a combo of the $10 and $15 levels. So the sticker with the art print.

$50 All rewards from the 20 level with a hand drawn sketch card.

$100 will be all previous items from the 50 level with a bonus XL sticker.

This allows me to do less designs each month, so I can focus on quality over quantity. When I started my Patreon I had 1 supporter and keeping up on sketch cards for that 1 person (shout out to Laura, my OG) was easy to do. Currently I draw anywhere from 25-30 sketch cards a month along with drawing anywhere from 5-7 new designs for stickers, prints and other merch. If I am to keep steady on working on my comics and other projects, I'll need less time on all the extra art. And again this will also allow me more time to spend on the designs and sketch cards with less to do, I can do better quality images.

I will also be (fingers crossed) getting my surgery in the spring and will have to do at least 2 months of rewards ahead of time so I can focus on recovery.

I will still be taking requests for the sketch cards for those in the $50 and $100 levels when I change them. I will be doing more suggestions for the sticker and art print designs too. I want to make sure that even though I am scaling down the rewards, that they are still of the best quality.

I have used the levels set by other artists I support and follow on here as suggestions or models to work from. Currently following an artist that has only 2 levels and only 1 has a physical reward, a single sticker at the $20 level. Although a great artist and I personally think it's worth it to get a cool sticker of their art, I know thats not in everyone's budget or comfort level. So I am still trying to keep things reasonable.

This gives me time too to research how to change my levels without any issues. I will still also do regular shop discounts and maybe do a patrons only shop on here where exclusive items or leftover rewards will be for sale on here and here only.

Please feel free to weigh in on this news, and I will take all suggestions and feedback into consideration. If you are a free member and can't message or comment on here, you can message me on Instagram or on the Discord.

I am so grateful for you all here and thank you so much. Also, don't ever feel bad if you need to cancel at any time or any length of time as well. Things are hard and getting harder. I really wish things were better for us all. Stay safe, and keep your heads up.
