Patreon pause and revamp.

Hi everyone! If your reading this then thanks for your interest on the patreon. I’ve gotten to draw art in ways I haven’t imagined I would and that’s not gonna change (I love it!). So far as of now I have gone through the routine of monthly polls with occasional bonuses of art and while good it’s time to give a little more worth for the monthly support, so I want to restructure the current patreon. So for the month of May I will pause payments to change everything. So what’s the plan?
Biggest change will be for the goals I will set in place for the patreon in general, as there are more patreons that support I’ll plan for more visible goals and patreon exclusive content. So what will they be?(exact number of patreons to reach certain goals is still under decision)

• Rowdy discord: I like to keep some line of active communication with people who like my art paid or not, as there will be more people who may be interested in having this line of interaction I’d be happy to make a new discord. This will also be a useful place for announcing news and sharing some patreon only content/bonuses.

• Streams: I haven’t done much streaming but it’s now more viable now I know how to make it work, I don’t think there will be an amazing amount entertainment value personally but the option for those curious and want a casual hangout will be there.

• Timelapses: Unlike streams these will be just pure video of some artwork being made, due to the amount of memory the footage takes up and options to host nsfw art timelapses.

• Commission discounts: More of an addition to a higher tier, this won’t be implemented straight away but just a consideration for the future.

• 2 polls monthly: So in a addition of the normal patreon exclusive poll I want to create a second public poll. Both poll winners will be shown to patreons first as usual. As what part of the month the second poll will appear is still being thought out.

• Merch: pins, stickers and prints! This will be a future goal for when I have a better indication of interest to make it viable.

Final thoughts: If you want to stop paying or wait until the revamp seems worth to keep supporting then please feel free to, obviously I don’t need to mention "current events" and why that may affect support but just know it’s completely understandable if you need to stop being a patreon. If you have any suggestions or maybe some criticism on how I have handled my patreon so far feel free to comment your suggestions! (or if your a little shy you can shout at me anonymously on curiouscat: https://curiouscat.me/OofHowdy ). If you reached here then thank you so much for being around!
