PLEASE READ: Changes to Patreon Tiers
Hey everyone! I've been a bit quiet on Patreon lately, and anyone who knows my circumstances IRL will know why, but I thought I'd make a post letting you know what's going on, as well as some changes to current Patreon tiers.
I will make a post soon with some big life updates, but for now, I'll keep this post focused on Patreon changes. But, SPOILER ALERT: I will have a baby daughter within 48 hours, and my interview went really well for the job I really want, so I may be employed in a pretty cool position sometime soon! But with that being said, I've decided to keep my Patreon running and I'll have more to say sometime soon about what that means for the future.
To anyone who's been subbed for a while, the changes to the Patreon tiers won't be a big surprise -- I'm basically just modifying them to reflect what I've been able to deliver versus what I was promising (and failing) to deliver due to a very busy life with increasingly more responsibilities outside of art.
There won't be any major changes from how I've already been posting, but I didn't want my Patreon to be misleading and outdated information to new members.
PATREON PATCH NOTES 07/28/24
JACKARY SNACKARY ($5)
WIPs will now be posted to the Patreon Chat instead of having weekly WIP posts, which I was failing to deliver on (please join chat or turn on notifications if you're interested in seeing these!)
JACKARY SNACKARY ($7)
Above changes, PLUS:
Wallpapers, GIFs, AMAs, Timelapses, and Process Files have been removed from the posting schedule. [I ended up being too busy to upload these on a daily basis. I may still find a way to work them into my Patreon at some point but for the time being they will be absent]
Jackary Archives Posts will continue as normal, being posted DAILY
Polls have been reduced from being weekly to monthly. I would like to do multiple polls a month, and I will if I clear up my commission queue more, but for now I can only promise one poll a month.
$7+ tier members will have access to community-related posts such as discussions (if I ever do them) or AMAs, but these will be posted when I feel like it rather than on a scheduled basis
No more promises to respond to every comment. :( Sorry guys, I really want to! And I'm going to go back soon and respond to a ton of your comments on previous posts! But I think it's a bit irresponsible of me to promise that I'll be able to respond to all of them.
PRINT AND STICKER CLUBS:
No major changes, except for that I'm offering 4-6 stickers of varying sizes each month instead of 3 stickers that are strictly "medium-sized" (this is how I've been doing it since Day 1, I decided to do it differently than how I worded it in the description and I'm just now updating it to be accurate)
_________________________________________
I think that covers everything. Let me know if you have any questions! And, of course, if you joined my Patreon expecting certain benefits that you won't be (or never did) end up receiving, it's totally within your rights to unsubscribe, I wouldn't fault anyone who wants to do that given that I've been unable to keep up with what was previously promised!
As for the rest of you who continue to stick around, thank you so much. I really can't overstate how much your support means to me. You guys are AMAZING and I appreciate you so, so much.

Have fun with your daughter for us <3
I mean, you could probably start a $21 monthly tier. College is gonna be expensive in the 2040's... if we haven't like... made everything Star Trek free.
Best of luck with you daughter
Wishing your family the absolute best of luck with both the baby and the possible job! I'm glad to hear that you're going to keep this platform up and continue to do art in the meanwhile. I'm still looking for work myself, but I'm still very much looking forward to supporting you when I'm able to do so.
I’ll be going back to the Daiquiri tier once the month is over, but I’m cashing in on that large print tier this time around for Ryza
Hey, do what you gotta💕Congrats on the kid! Life will always take precedent, so I don't fault you for any of it~ Good luck with the coming chaos💕
Good luck to you and your wife on the baby! I'm sure the next few days are gonna be a lot at once. Thanks for keeping us updated :)
Great things are happening! Glad to see you’ll still be making art even if more limited, though. Would have been sad to see the Patreon totally go away.
I was considering axing it before, but if people hold on to the Print/Sticker Clubs, it's a compelling enough reason to keep it going -- a pretty reasonable income boost for a bit of effort early in the month. And if I keep those going, might as well keep the other tiers alive and well too!
Yeah, that all sounds reasonable. I will still be here 🫡 Also, I thought you kept responding to me because you recognized me from Twitter and went "oh, I know this person! Yeah, I've got time." Completely missed that you made it an obligation to yourself, and I'm glad you're changing that, tbh. Not to say that I now think the interactions felt forced, though!
haha no, I know who you are, and I still enjoy seeing your comments both here and on twitter 😉 I did make it a goal to try to respond to everyone though. But it’s harder than I thought!
