Thinking about editting tier benefits

Added 2021-02-22 03:30:55 +0000 UTC

I just want to be clear I'm grateful for everyone's patronage to my Patreon so far, and I want to give out as much as people are giving. This month though, it seems apparent some people are hesitant to come to offer personal ideas to receive pieces of their own each month. Thinking about it, it could be a little detrimental if I had to allocate so much of my time getting to everyone's request. Therefore, I'm considering updating my tiers a bit. One idea I have is instead of requesting a piece each month , I can extend a sort of credit system in which each month patrons pledge, if they wish, they could instead receive credits and those credits could be exchanged for commission-quality pieces. These pieces would not be applicable to dicounts the tiers provide, and amounts of credits will vary based on tiers, but virtually can be accumulated for quality open to everyone. This I hope will alleviate pressure from patrons and myself to have to complete an extraordinary number of pieces every month. If you like this idea, or have any other ideas to improving ways I can make the most of your continued patronage, please do comment here with your thoughts and opinions.

Also note for those pledging $1 now (Arashi's Advocates) but don't want to have to be on the spot to receiving sketches each month, there is another tier built (Arashi's Cascades) where you can still pledge as low as $1 and though removes you from entering the monthly raffle, you can still take part in monthly polls and be eligible for commission discounts.
