Updates to tiers and new bonuses

Added 2023-11-26 13:40:08 +0000 UTC

Hi everyone!

So, this is going to be a long one.

It has been a while since I've started working on AI models and art, and a lot of things have changed. I now have a CivitAI account with over 230k downloads, a Patreon with over 100 followers and 30 patrons, and a DeviantArt with 400k monthly views. This means that the amount of work needed to keep everything up is increasing monthly. I know that most of my Patrons are here for the early access to my models, so let me assure you the "generative art supporter" tier will keep the same price and will still have access to all my models.

So let's start and check out all the news:

# New Tier and changes to the old ones

Let's have a look at what's different for all the tiers:

## Free

The Free tier will give you access to the public models after the early access period (usually 7 days but can be more). You also have access to polls, previews, and news posts.

## Basic (formerly: Generative Art Supporter)

The Basic tier will keep the same price of 3€. This tier will stay mostly the same, with the only difference being that now you'll have to wait 7 days before accessing the exclusive models.

## Bonus

The Bonus tier is a new tier, priced between the Basic and Super tiers (4.5€). This tier will give you all the previous benefits plus the access to a new News chat (explained below), access to art videos, and day one access to exclusive models.

## Super (formerly: Super Supporter)

The Super tier will keep the same price of 6€. This tier is meant for those who really appreciate my work and want to contribute to keep it going. Other than the previous benefits you'll also get access to the Super chat (explained below) and all the bonus stuff I post here (like pics or wallpapers)

# Explaining the diverse types of posts

There are 4 distinct types of posts available to Patrons. Here's a brief explanation:

## Polls

Polls are a quick way to help me interact with my community. These help me make quick decisions on how to change my LoRAs or learn more about what you like.

## Previews

Previews are a quick way to learn if a LoRA or a Checkpoint could be used for you. These are usually made of 5 high resolution pictures (1920x1280) generated using my workflow and edited by hand in Krita.

## News

News are usually monthly updates which help you understand what I'm working on and what should come out for Patrons in the next weeks after the post.

## Art Videos

Art videos are a new way to share my workflow with you by showing how I create my pictures in a timelapse fashion!

# Explaining the public vs exclusive models

Here you can find a brief explanation of the difference between publicly released models and the ones exclusive to my patrons:

## Public Models

Most of my models become public after a brief period of early access. This period lasts at least 7 days, after which everyone will get access to these models, and if I retain it valuable, I'll also post the model to CivitAI with more pictures.

All my paid tiers will get day 1 access to these public models, while the free tier will have to wait for the public release.

## Exclusive Models

There are some models that for a reason or another, I'm not interested in sharing publicly (experimental stuff, different versions...). These models are exclusive to my subscribers and won't get released to the public.

All my paid tiers have access to these models. Bonus and Super tiers get day 1 access, while the Basic tier will need to way 7 days before accessing those models.

# Explaining the new chats

If you download the Patreon app on mobile (available both on iOS and Android) you'll get access to the community chats. Here's a brief explanation of what they do:

## Community Showcase

Do you want to see some amazing community creations? Do you want to share your own masterpieces with others? Then join the community chat, where you can admire, inspire, and interact with fellow artists! This is the place to highlight your best works and get feedback from your peers!

## News Channel

Want to get a sneak peek of my latest projects before anyone else? Join the news chat, where I spill the beans on new LoRAs and checkpoints and keep you in the loop with all the cool AI stuff that can boost your image creation skills.

## Super Lounge

Welcome to the Super Chat, where you can get the latest scoop on what's happening behind the scenes. Whether you want to chat with me, get some advice, learn about lora settings, or explore new workflow ideas, this is the place to be! Feel free to ask me anything and join the fun!

# Conclusions

So, as I've said at the beginning this was a long one 😅. Before ending the post I want to say that I'm very grateful to all of you that have contributed (and also to those who just appreciate my work). I didn't start this journey to make a living out of it, but it has been awesome to see all the love from the AI community and particularly from you guys! Thanks again for your support, and if you think that the changes I've made feel unfair to you, let me know in the comments.
