Howdy, DMZ here!

Now that the page is established proper, I've thought it would be rather lovely to go over the inner workings of the tiers presented and the benefits they offer. Some of it is probably fairly obvious, but some could use clarification for your convenience. Let's get right into it!

Passer-by

Thanks for dropping by!

The first tier present represents a tip jar. If you so wish, you can support me and my art without any benefit in return. You have my sincere gratitude, though — very kind of you!

Student

Welcome to the University of Sunset Heights!

Moving along — the second tier, the first one with tangible benefits for pledging. Thank you for your support!

Starting with this tier, you'll recieve work-in-progress updates on upcoming art!

You gain early access to completed artwork in standard resolution. This is the resolution that will be made public (aside from the variants) roughly two weeks later

Sorcerer

Have a blessed day!

Ascending further, we reach the Sorcerer tier! Here, familiar benefits take reshape and expand. Your support is vastly appreciated, many thanks!

Much like before, you retain access to work-in-progress updates on upcoming art;

You recieve early access to completed artwork in high resolution. This includes the variants of said artwork. High resolution remains exclusive on Patreon;

Starting from this tier, you are eligible to vote in monthly polls covering the topic of next month's artwork. Said polls provide a select pool of characters and ideas and start roughly around the middle of any given month.

Desire Keeper

Welcome to the family!

The top tier! The final form! Here, you recieve everything established up to this point and then some. I am beyond thankful for your support. You are the best.

You recieve work-in-progress updates on upcoming art;

You gain early access to completed artwork and its variants in high-resolution;

For this tier, aside from being eiigible to vote in monthly polls, you're able to suggest characters and ideas to be featured in said polls! Around the first week of each month, I will be opening a thread for suggestions. By the middle of the month, I'll pick the top suggestions and add them to the upcoming monthly poll;

On top of that, the Desire Keeper tier gains access to exclusive artwork. Each month, you'll be receiving a piece that remains entirely exclusive indefinitely.

What should you expect from this page?

You've read through the benefits, but let's now detail what I plan on sharing throughout the month precisely! Each given month, I will publish:

Miscellaneous sketches and work-in-progress updates;

One to two pieces of simple character renders;

One complex artwork piece with variants;

One piece of artwork exclusive for the Desire Keeper tier.

In total, every month will feature three to four completed drawings with one of them remaining entirely exclusive to Patreon.

How do you access the artwork?

Having had experience with various platforms being rather unreliable when it comes to specific art, I've elected not to share the bulk of my artwork directly on Patreon.

For the sake of security, all of the artwork will be shared via Dropbox. Each tier will recieve a link to a corresponding folder through a dedicated post. This link will allow you to freely browse all of the artwork available for your tier thus far. Every month, I will be sending out an up-to-date password via Patreon's direct messages. Be sure to keep an eye open and, in case anything is amiss, let me know at your earliest convenience.

That being said, miscellaneous illustrations, sketches and updates of decidedly less risque nature will be present directly on Patreon itself.

And that's that!

Dahlia and I spent a good bit tinkering around, trying to figure the best way to go about running this page. Personally, I'm quite happy with how everything fits into place. Do let me know what you think and whether or not you've got any questions left!

– Best wishes, DMZ
