Alright so I think I've somewhat decided a plan of action moving forwards. I have removed the "Early Access to Commission Openings" Perk from both the Dragon and Divine Dragon tiers.
To compensate for this removal all current patrons of these tiers will get a one time quick portrait sketch of their characters. I do already have a list of all current patrons from these tiers, but I will need everyone from these tiers to fill out a form to provide the character ref and name. (See link below)
These will be complete over the next few months, they will be artistic freedom and there will not be edits made.
Form will be open for a week, if anyone was a patreon before today from these tiers and misses filling out the link you may contact me.
Link to form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2LGacrJN5Jh8MBZZPcMRD3nzlQdcE4Zcs_o0mElJQDzzlnA/viewform?usp=dialog
Please be sure to fill this out if you would like the portrait sketch! This is strictly for current patrons(dragon/divine dragon), please and thankyou. Your form won't be accepted if you became a patron today for example to recieve the piece.
I would also like to clarify you do not need to hold a patron sub over the next few months as I complete them to receive the sketch.
On another note! This doesn't exactly provide another perk for future patrons, I'll have to continue to think on if there's anything else a can offer within reason.
I am however also considering doing monthly portrait sketches with an additional tier (capped). The one time pieces above will also work in giving me an idea on how I handle the sketches before I provide that as an option.
If there's any questions feel free to ask, shoot me a DM here or on discord!
