500 Watchers | Patreon Revamp!
Posted 8 years agoFirst thing's first
Thankyou all so much for watching me!
I never would have dreamed that I'd hit 500!
It blows me away to think that 500 people with lives and ambitions of their own want to stick around for my art
So thankyou all so much!
I would have liked to host a raffle of some sort to thank you
however, I've currently still got quite a bit on my plate
Sorry about that!
*****
MY PATREON IS GETTING TOTALLY REVAMPED!
There is now only ONE reward tier!
Here's what it is!!
ONE FOR ALL - $5 / month
- Access to patron-only feed
- Access to patron-only Discord server
- Access to Suggestion Box
- Access to polls for voting on the content I create!
- Advanced access to all time lapse videos (24hrs before public)
- Advanced access to all adopts, YCHs, sales, etc (24hrs before public)
- 10% discount on all adopts, YCHs, and commissions
- Permission to add my OCs to your commissions from me at no extra charge
- PDF files showcasing the step-by-step process of every artwork I make each month
- HD archive of all artworks and time lapse videos created each month
- Annual postcard-sized, fully rendered artwork of your character
This new reward tier will go into full effect on October 1st,

Posted 8 years agoWhat even is my existence right now..
I'm in that weird headspace of being inspired by things left and right
but I just can't.. FZZT it out of my hands when I try
I really want to art but holding the pen feels wrong idk
I want to implement my new One For All reward tier on Patreon
but I also sorta feel like I should make an All For One super reward tier
to sorta focus more on being an art reward tier for people who want that kind of thing
But no matter what I jot down it just feels like I'm cheapening the One For All rewards
and it's like I'm defeating the purpose of having a One For All tier in the first place
I'm having a bit of an artist identity crisis
I've had Intuitive Designs picked out as a business name for myself since I was 14
I even bought a logo (which I love) for it and have been using as a watermark
but right now I just don't feel connected to that name at all
and I kinda just want to use my actual name like a lot of other professional artists do
but then suchtrashley would be kinda cool to have everywhere, too
But so many websites, like Facebook (for Like Pages) and RedBubble, etc won't let me change the name
and I really don't want to have to make whole new pages or anything like screw that
But ugh it just feels.. wrong right now
Also my body is still adjusting to the higher level of testosterone in my system
So I'm just always tired, sweaty and hungry
But there's like no snack food in our house (which is good cuz I'm heavy enough as it is)
And I'm so bored with sleeping and laying down
And I've already watched all the interesting things like 3 times over
Ugh, not to mention I still have to call up my newest employment agency
and apologize for having a hecked up sleeping pattern last week which made me miss my appointment
and try to get them to let me get my payments again because we gotta pay rent this week
I got this semi-sorted, at least..
(╯°Д°)╯︵ ┻━┻Is this good value for money? (Important)
Posted 8 years agoI'm still tossing up over changing up my rewards on Patreon to a single, cheap tier that can be more accessible and desireable for more people.
This is what I currently have drafted for the new one-for-all reward tier.
For $5/month, you'll get:
- Access to patron-only feed
- Access to patron-only Discord group
- Access to Suggestion Box
- Access to polls for voting on the content I create!
- Advanced access to all time lapse videos (24hrs before public)
- Advanced access to all adopts/ YCHs, sales, etc (24hrs before public)
- 10% discount on all adopts, YCHs, and commissions
- Permission to add my OCs to your commission/s (within reason) at no extra charge
- PDF files showcasing the step-by-step process of every artwork I make each month
- HD archive of all artworks and time lapse videos created each month
- One-off postcard-sized, fully rendered artwork of your character
Would that be enough to entice you to stick around for a while?
Should I put some more focus on art rewards instead of just files/advanced access/discount rewards?
Perhaps you have some ideas for other things to add?
Please Note: Since Patreon has updated its TOS to rule raffles as gambling, I will not be continuing any Patreon-only raffles as part of any paid rewards.
I would really love your input!
I'm hoping that I might be able to put this reward tier in place by the end of the month~

https://picarto.tv/suchtrashleyQuestion for you guys!
Posted 8 years agoIf I were to change my Patreon to have only ONE reward tier ($5) that gave you:
- Access to patron-only feed
- Access to Suggestion Box
- Advanced access to all adopts, YCHs, sales, etc (24hrs before everyone else)
- PDF files showcasing the process of every artwork I make every month
- 10% discount on all adopts, YCHs, and commissions
Plus a little something else to sweeten the deal up
Would more people be interested in supporting me there?
I totally understand that money can be tight and something like this might not be possible for some people,
but I'm honestly curious if this would be more enticing/possible for people than the reward tiers I currently have?
PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!

Posted 8 years agoJust wanted to let you guys know that 2hrs after I posted my last journal, I fell asleep.
I slept my usual 12hrs, through construction work happening just outside my window,
and only woke up thanks to the Greeks across the road apparently playing music for the next suburb over.
I'm still tired and my sleep cycle is worse than before,
but there's no chance of sleeping with a party happening in my yard
so I might stream while working on owed stuff in a bit~I haven't slept in 35hrs

Posted 8 years agoI just managed to whittle my journal notifications down by about 600
But I still have just over 2k to go through
Honestly tempted to just nuke them at this point..
I'm scared that if I go to sleep I'll wake up to all my hard work today being undone
;~;WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS, BOYS
Posted 8 years agoFuck me.
Two and a half weeks later.
WE FINALLY HAVE INTERNET!!!!
We purchased the cheapest handset we could find for the sole purpose of finding out which (if any) of our several phone/broadband lines were actually connected
Turns out it was the oldest one of them all xD
BUT WHATEVER
INTERNETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I have spent the last... idk 6hrs or so since discovering our return to civilisation dedicated to checking all my unread emails from that time.
JUST MY EMAILS.
I'M STILL NOT FUCKING DONE.
IT'S 1:30 AM
UGHHHH.
Tomorrow I will resume going through my emails, and after I'm done I'll be going through my almost 3k messages here on FA.
And then my 65 new messages on DA
Then my 4.2k messages on Toyhou.se
And like the 2 I have on Patreon and other social media sites that don't build up so many notifications after a mere 2.5 wks without internet.
Pray for me =__=;
So please bear with me while I sort through all that before I can properly get back to work on things in the art department.
I've got a few things to upload as well! It's not much, but I hope you'll enjoy them when I get around to posting them~
Right now, though, I'm going to bed.
Love you all <3Status Update~
Posted 8 years agoHey all!
Hope you're well!
Just wanted to touch base here because it's been a while~
We're all moved in to our new place!
Most of our stuff still needs unpacking, but at least we're all moved over!
We even got our fridge back from the friends we lent it to a few days ago!
Non-takeout never tasted so good!
We're still waiting for the wizard to come 'round and reconnect our internet at the new place
(Right now I'm just tethered to my phone lmao)
But I've been able to set up the computer so I can at least get some work done, hopefully!
Also, since my art queue is here on FA
for the days I've not been able to access the internet, I've been making some adopts!
There's two new ones, plus a couple of older designs I haven't uploaded yet,
so you can keep your eyes peeled for those!
I also wanted to thank spazywolf again for the gift they made for me a short while ago.
It may not be much to them, but the random kindness really helped me through the stress of moving
So thankyou again so much!! <333
Anyways, I'll be uploading a few thingies soon,
but that's all from me for now~
I look forward to fully being back in the swing of things, hopefully soon
I miss you guys!!fUck + moving update
Posted 8 years ago// checking FA comment/journal messages on my phone
// accidentally selected an assload of notifications while investigating a weird clicking noise in the new house
// goes to uncheck them but accidentally hits the "Globally Remove Selected" button
// fUCK
SO, TO THE PERSON WHO GAVE ME A +WATCH YESTERDAY, THANKYOU SO MUCH!! <3
The move is going fairly well, btw.
We got almost all the furniture moved yesterday with the help of some stronk kiwi dudes, and the only stuff we have left at the old place after today is what's left in the garage downstairs. Just gotta vacuum the unit and clean out the fridge.
I had to throw out my bed tho because it was INFESTED with silverfish /sob
So now I'm just borrowing Taylor's spare single mattress until I can get myself a new bed
I'd say "I can't feel my feet" but tbh my feet are all I can feel right now. They're so damn sore, I had basically an old person walk crossed with a double limp going on before soaking my dead self in the bath. Now everything just hurts in general.
At least all I really have to do tomorrow is watch the bond cleaners work their magic.
Oh also our friends who we loaned our fridge to (and gave 2-4wks notice about needing it back) told us on the day we started moving that they don't have a replacement organised for themselves yet so now we have to throw out all of our food and actually eke by until they can get it to us, which they say will take a week from now.
K I L L M E
I am sore, sleep deprived, and, very soon, hungry.
/sigh

Important Update
Posted 8 years agoHey guys!
Hope you're all well!
I just wanted to post this here to let you all know that we will be moving house over the next few days.
Taylor's computer is gonna get packed up either today or tomorrow, and our internet is going to be cut off/transferred to the new place.
It should only take 7 days for it to be connected, but I'm sure they'll find a way to screw it up somehow.
I'm still going to be checking my FA messages on my phone every so often but other than that I will be out of reach for the next week-ish.
Jacob, Grace, Frostbite, this is also to let you know so that you don't worry about me <3
A handful of you have me added on Facebook but PLEASE DON'T MESSAGE ME THERE IF YOU'RE TRYING TO GET IN CONTACT WITH ME.
My phone is a piece of shit and no longer supports Facebook Messenger, which means I am UNABLE TO READ OR SEND MESSAGES via Facebook.
And my phone is going to be my only connection to the outside world for the next week or so.
IF YOU DESPERATELY NEED TO GET IN CONTACT WITH ME AT ANY POINT, PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL!
My primary email is ashley.cousins[at]griffithuni.edu.au
I check my emails at least once a day, so you'll definitely be able to reach me that way if you need to.
If you do, please let me know your FA username so I know who you are~!
Obviously, because of all this, my queue is totally on pause right now.
Thankyou for understanding~
I LOVE YOU ALL
STAY AWESOME
SEE YOU SOON!
