2026 Practice tiers

Allo folks and folkas,
today I’m here to talk about what I'm cooking for the 2026 ‘Practice’ tiers. Since they’re being fully revamped, this is going to be a long post with lots of info, and plenty of room for questions.
On 31st December, the 2025 Study tier will be over. Special thanks to Smug, Stryker, Maeve, and Prime! Your support means a lot ❤️
Starting on 1st January, the OKAmon, Underlords, and Mod tiers will be created. I'm still thinking on some specifics, so this post can be used to help me see your guys' pov on things, so lend me your help :3

OKAmon tier

Everyone who has an adoptable designed by me will be in this tier! It is a free Discord tier, which means there's no extra charge to be in.
Each month, similar to the 2025 study tier, I will suggest a theme on an exclusive chat. Anyone who is in the "Big Monster" tier or above (and ofc has an adoptable made by me), and interested in having a piece, can submit their name and adoptable to the wheel. I will then spin the wheel, and the winner will have the adoptable of their choice drawn in the month.

[OKAmon tier rules and details]

• I will have 100% freedom on the piece. The only thing you can control is selecting the adopt you have from me, and asking for a SFW or NSFW piece (the last option could not even be true, since some months I'll be needing to practice specifically NSFW, for example).

• There will be no revisions. BUT, I'll keep showing you my process, and I can ask specific questions about the piece and/or the character.

• The expected price for the piece once you win the wheel is $194 to $238. That's only a window; I will try to be specific once the theme is chosen. Your character complexity can increase this amount. Payment via Stripe only.

• Once selected by the wheel, the total amount needs to be paid ASAP (preferably on the same day). Then I will have the entirety of the month to deliver the piece.

• More than one piece can be offered monthly, which will result in more wheels.

• Not respecting me, my work, other participants, or my rules can result in you being removed from this tier, despite having an adoptable.

[Wheel rules]

• I will stream and record the spin.

• Once you win the wheel, you will receive a 2-month cooldown on this specific wheel. You can still participate in other tiers' wheels.

• You cannot win two wheels in the same month. If that happens, you need to choose one, and the other one will receive another spin.

• If no other participants have interest in having a piece, despite being on cooldown, you can submit your name. That will not add any other cooldowns to you.

[FAQ]

Q: I have an OKA adoptable, but I didn't win the original auction; someone sold/gifted/traded with me. Can I still participate?
A: You don't need to have won the character in an auction. Adoptable owners who acquire the characters by trading or buying are welcome to participate. Important to say that you cannot "borrow" the character to someone else to have virtually one more slot on the wheel.
Q: I'm on the "Unsandwiched" tier. Can I upgrade my Patreon tier just before submitting my name to the wheel, or do I need to be in the tier for more than one month?]
A: Having the "Big Monster" tier on Patreon before submitting your name to the Wheel is enough! No past time is required.
Q: Can I use my "Big Monster" discount on this piece?
A: I dont treat these pieces as commissions, since they don't get into the queue and don't have revisions. So nope, no discounts on this tier pieces, only on normal comms.
Q: Why does the payment need to be done when I won the wheel? Can't I wait day 14th to pay it or part of it?
A: Unfortunately, no. The reason behind it is that I need some income on the beginning of the month to pay some bills, so the previous Sketch/Study tiers always helped me, and this one is not different.

Underlords tier

A recognition tier for members who've gone above and beyond, whether through long-term support, meaningful interactions, or simply contributing to our little basement.
Anyone can end up being an Underlord; it just happens naturally over time through involvement. It is a free Discord tier, which means there's no extra charge to be in this. Each month, similar to the 2025 study tier, I will suggest a theme on an exclusive chat. Everyone interested in having a piece can submit their name and character to the wheel. I will then spin the wheel, and the winner will have their character drawn in the month.

[Underlords tier rules and details]

• I will have 100% freedom on the piece. The only thing you can control is selecting the character, and asking for a SFW or NSFW piece (the last option could not even be true, since some months I'll be needing to practice specifically NSFW, for example).

• There will be no revisions. BUT, I'll keep showing you my process, and I can ask specific questions about the piece and/or the character.

• The expected price for the piece once you win the wheel is $194 to $238. That's only a window; I will try to be specific once the theme is chosen. Your character complexity can increase this amount. Payment via Stripe only.

• Once selected by the wheel, the total amount needs to be paid ASAP (on the same day preferred). Then I will have the entirety of the month to deliver the piece.

• More than one piece can be offered monthly, which will result in more wheels.

• Not respecting me, my work, other participants, or my rules can result in you being removed from this tier.

[Wheel rules]

• It is exactly the same as the OKAmon tier, check that, please. (too big of a bible ~~ )

[FAQ]

Q: New people can enter this tier, or is it closed?
A: Not closed at all! The list can and will change a lot. It can grow bigger or be smaller.
Q: Can I ask to join?
A: Nope! It happens naturally.
Q: Can I use my "Big Monster" discount on this piece?
A: I don't treat these pieces as commissions, since they don't get into the queue and don't have revisions. So nope, no discounts on this tier pieces, only on commissions.
Q: Why does the payment need to be done when I won the wheel? Can't I wait day 14th to pay it or part of it?
A: Unfortunately, no. The reason behind it is that I need some income on the beginning of the month to pay some bills, so the previous Sketch/Study tiers always helped me, and this one is not different.

Mod tier

A private tier for Mods. Actually, for now, it is just Stryker. In exchange for some help, he will have a monthly slot with a specific theme. Sometimes it can be more experimental; I will discuss with him.

[Mod tier rules and details]

• Basically the same as the others you already saw. I think the only big difference is that sometimes I'll use this one to experiment even harder.

• The total amount needs to be paid ASAP (preferably on the same day). Then I will have the entirety of the month to deliver the piece.

• A mod cannot participate in Keepers and Underlords' wheels. But if there are no names on the wheel, they can put their own to get the piece.

• Asking for other people's characters isn't always possible; you need to discuss it beforehand.

• Because of external factors, in some months this piece could be cancelled.

Final notes

Welp, that was a lot of reading, and I know it may not be the clearest of texts, so please PLEASE feel free to send questions here or in my DM's, cuz I'm pretty sure there's a lot to cover still. There's still room for change, so things could end up differently, but I think it is a good start.
I'm excited for the next year. Thank you all for the reading :pray:
