Tier Reward Revisions
Added 2024-05-24 02:11:05 +0000 UTC(I apologize for the massive amount of text)
Took longer than I wanted it to, but here are the prospective changes to the rewards that I had in mind. Gave it a lot of thought on what to offer and how to do it so that I don't get overly stressed. Took a look at what some other artists did, and this is what I ultimately came up with, The biggest change is that, while I'm still doing sketch rewards every month, I will be only doing 2 each time based on a rotating queue. I will be selected the 2 patrons at the top of the list each month and doing a reward for both of them, moving to the next two the following month and so on. I realize that this is less appealing than getting something every month, so I tried offering more lesser things to try (key word try) to make up for that.
The first two tiers are pretty much unchanged. It's the other tiers that got various nerfs and buffs.
IMPORTANT: When these rewards will come into effect is yet to be determined. I am going to go to only $3, $5, and $10 tier (with current rewards) for a bit after this month in order to catch up on all the stuff I need to get done. Sign-up rewards, lingering sketch rewards, commissions, etc. Once I get into a more comfortable situation, I will establish the rewards listed below. Hopefully it will only take a few months.
If there are any questions about this, or feedback/suggestions, feel free to put them in the comments. Without further delay, here is what I'm thinking for the rewards in the future.
Wolf Pup
$3/ month
In this tier, you will gain early access to art that I do soon after it is completed. Since I only upload a set of artwork to my FurAffinity page once a month, this will allow you to see artwork done before anyone else does. Occasional works-in-progress will also be posted here exclusively. Personal art will be uploaded a day or two after completion, while commissioned art will be uploaded here after a few more days pass to give the commissioner a period of exclusivity.
What's included
Early Access to Art
Work-in-progress/Behind-the-scenes
Timber Wolf
$5 / month
You get access to an exclusive picture every other month that will not be uploaded to FurAffinity for at least 3 months. You will also gain access to polls that will determine some of the stuff that I draw. These will mainly be to choose a character for a future exclusive, but will also involve other topics. Commissions will always be available to this tier, even if they are closed on FurAffinity. Includes all previous tiers.

Werewolf
$10 / month
As a Werewolf, your votes in any polls have more weight by counting as two. Alternate versions of exclusives will be available for this tier (no NSFW) to be posted between the initial version and the next exclusive. Also, I will be putting any patrons in this tier or higher into a rotating queue for monthly sketch reward. Every month, I will do a sketch reward (single character) for the two patrons who's turn it is in the queue (each gets their own). Order is determined by sign-up order. The content is your choice as long as it keeps within my conditions regarding content and subject matter. You can also enjoy priority in the commission queue and a discount of 10% off the total commission cost. Also comes with early access to any new commission types. Also includes all previous tiers.

Delivery time for this reward will be a minimum of three months to account for the risk of "one-month cancellers". You will also be able to choose between upgrading one of your previous sketch rewards upgraded to a colored sketch or a new sketch reward when it's your turn in the reward queue. Your name will also be added twice in the reward queue. Votes in polls will hold even more weight by counting for 3. You also get a further discount on commissions for a total of 15% off.
