I've been thinking about this for a little while, and I think it's finally time I make some changes to the tiers. For quite a while I felt like a lot of folks were not getting what they paid for, because I'm too busy spending my time on other things. So I've proposed a few changes to folks in the discord, and discussed possible options.
The primary issue when it comes to the tiers is how weighted it seems to be on the $1 and $5 tiers. Part of that is me forgetting to upload the PSD files for the 10, but another part is just me not having enough to give to the upper tiers. To me, it doesn't feel fair (to higher patrons and myself) to offer so much to the lowest tiers, while the upper tiers don't get much of their own content. I plan on creating comics in the next couple months. I've said that quite a few times (lol) I know, but I've already created a few working thumbnails that seem to be good enough to work from. I'm finally going to be putting some effort into those. That being said, I want to offer them at a fair price, not just to anyone who happens across my work.
The gist of things: I'm spreading out the tier benefits a little better, as well as lowering the prices of the upper tiers. The $1 tier will generally serve as a tip jar, as well as early access to monthly finished illustrations. The $20 and $10 tiers will be reduced to $12 and $9 respectively. These will be primarily for PSD's, voting power, and Hi-res files. Additionally, I will be making a middle tier at $7, which will be dedicated as the comic access tier. $5 tier will be general access to all other artwork. Here's the detailed Rundown:
