I've recently restructured my patron awards. The $20 and $40 tiers now get a single character sketch each month. You can also choose to wait a month and get a two character sketch or a single character sketch with a simple background. This is closer to how I had it last year. It might not seem like a lot, but I don't want people treating my Patreon page like a commission service (that's what regular commissions are there for). Also, I'll be slotting patron awards in with regular commissions now, so you won't see awards right away, but I feel this system is more fair to my regular commissioners and less stressful for me. You can add your patron reward characters to commissions you make, if you like.

Once I have some new patron rewards drawn, I might go back to my old system of letting patrons see them early, and then posting them on DA and elsewhere a month or two later.

Though at the time of posting this, people who make new pledges won't get rewards until September, so... I probably should have posted this either two weeks ago or waited two weeks to post it. Oh well.

I can't thank my patrons and customers enough for all the help they've given me, but I'm still struggling to keep up with bills and living expenses. Art is my full time job, and commissions and pledges are the only way I have to earn money. Even one dollar pledges are greatly appreciated. If you've been thinking about pledging but have been unsure, please tell me your thoughts. If you think supporting me on Patreon is a huge waste of money, please tell me your thoughts.
