Update!
Added 2022-03-20 20:42:32 +0000 UTCHokey dokey, I have decided that my tiers will be changing for April! This system has worked fine for a while, but I do believe I'm running out of ideas for the system as is. I will both be adding new tiers and re-ordering others.
Blueberry Seeds - $2 - this will be for those wanting to give general support and will allow them to see WIPs, but not finished pieces. I'd like to make this just $1, but I've heard that a $1 pledge on Patreon is practically worthless for the artist.
Blueberry Sprouts - $4 - Up from $3, this will be changed to what the current $10 tier gives and will allow you to see WIPs and finished pieces 2 weeks early!
Blueberry Bushes - $10 - All the previous bonuses, but you can vote on the theme for each month's character poll picture.
Blueberry Orchards - $20 - This allows you to vote on characters for each month's poll, as well as being able to access and "ideas box" for me to sketch out during the month/future months. This comes with no guarantees that every idea will be accepted, and also the hope of acceptance if I'm slow to deliver any rewards.
Golden Tickets - $55 - This is a tier I am just going to be giving a test run and there is no guarantee I will keep it. For April this will start with a mere one slot available - and it will give you the opportunity to commission one uncolored, unshaded sketch from me in a month. I don't like offering Patreon comms, but at this price and quality it's the only way I'm willing to do it. However, if it proves to be unpopular or overwhelming, I will axe it.
I wanted to give proper notice of this change, as I don't want to suddenly have people upcharged. Please let me know if any of these ideas have major issues with you all who currently support me.

Yeah, that's fair. This tier is just being implemented as a test run, so if it fills up fast, I'll add more slots to it, and if no one takes it, I'll remove it. I want to make sure I don't defeat an idea before I try it

2022-03-21 01:15:29 +0000 UTCYou make an excellent point that someone could easily hog a slot every month for it. However, opening up too many sketches is gonna be a problem for me, as I can only see myself being able to do 2-3 slots at the most for the near future. I'm starting off with one slot for one month just to see if *anyone* takes it at all. If no one does, then I will just take it off of the list and save the idea for a future time. It won't be the only way to commission me, either!

2022-03-21 00:43:10 +0000 UTCThis is pretty good but I think the Golden Ticket tier should be either reworked or, imo, removed outright What's gonna happen is that you're either making art for 1 person for several months (since with limited tiers like that one people are unlikely to unsub from them due to the benefits they provide) so you either increase how many people who sub to it so it's not just one person or you outright don't use it just my opinion though, it might turn out differently come april
