Patreon and Storenvy launched (and some other cool stuff)
6 years ago
wew lads I've been busy lol
As I'm sure some/most of you have seen, Patreon recently updated their fees structure so that new accounts have to pay Patreon more for using their site. I had a Patreon ready to go for a few weeks before this and wanted to stockpile things to post before launching it but the fees change forced me to launch it early. At the moment, I only have one post up and my plan is to post tutorials/walkthroughs every other week (so twice a month). I have plans for some tier changes in the future once I have time to make more content, the current tiers are $3 and $5 a month. I also have a Ko-fi page so you can support my art through that as well if a monthly subscription isn't something you're into. Support through these two sites (and my Storenvy) directly support my original art and allow me to make better content faster.

One of my main artistic goals is to be able to support myself off of my art that doesn't involve doing 70+ hour commissions for less than 25 cents an hour so in my spare time I've been working on getting prints and stickers to sell through Storenvy. Print to order sites like Redbubble and DesignByHumans were a really good springboard to eventually make it to this point, but they take a decent cut of the money my art makes so I'd really like to be able to do it on my own. I'm not going to delete my RB or DBH stores, however, so the designs hosted on them will always be available on whatever products they sell. I'm really interested in learning how to screenprint and currently have (most of lol) the materials necessary to do it, I just need the time. There are some originals, one print, and a sticker currently up in my store but I have a lot of really cool plans for new stuff in the future and I'm really excited about it (one of the ideas is a patch design).

I've also been reconsidering my commissions styles and prices and might be reopening some slots soon but really large commissions are very likely not going to be available anymore. I severely under price my elaborate ink commissions and I'm incredibly burnt out on doing weeks of hard work that takes up all my art time for less than 1/5th what the drawing is really worth, I'm sorry and I hope you guys understand....
Anyway, I apologize for the near-dead silence from me on here lately lol I've been working on a lot of behind the scenes things and a friggin huge project (that's almost done!!!) so I'll hopefully be back on something like a regular-ish posting schedule soon. Fingers crossed!!! Thanks for stickin with me, yall
