Upcoming Tier Changes (Date TBD)
🕑 Added 2024-02-10 06:41:46 +0000 UTCEDIT: Added info about Art Packs & my Homepage
Hi guys! Just a heads up that I'll be making some changes in the upcoming months as I catch up on Art Packs. Here's a brief overview of the changes, I'll make a more detailed post with a planned date later on:
- Moving Art Pack links to my Homepage: https://tangobat.com
- Launching my Pixiv Fanbox
- Updating my subscription pages, galleries & Itchio to make Art Packs easier to find
- Tier pricing changes & increased rewards
Art Pack Links
To help cut down on bots scraping my work, I'm moving my Art Pack links to my Homepage - https://tangobat.com. You can log in there with your Patreon account to access exclusive posts. I'm looking into adding this feature for SubStar and Fanbox too. Please let me know if you have any issues viewing your content!
Eventually I want to turn my site into a convenient image browser for my Free and Paid artwork. I'll look into adding all the usual Booru features: fast grid-based browsing, a search sidebar with a tag list, and tag blacklisting.
Subscription Platforms
Patreon & Pixiv have been making some REALLY poor changes over the last few years, so right now SubStar is looking like the safest subscription platform for NSFW artists. Previously I thought Fanbox wouldn't be worth opening due to its feature differences & censorship requirement, but with so many artists getting suspended over stupid ToS changes it's always a good idea to have backups.
Tier Changes
I will be revising my prices to make SubStar the cheapest option, and each tier will have access to more Art Packs. The Batling tier for SubStar, Patreon and Fanbox will be $3 (up from $1) but have access to all previous SD Packs (up from 3) starting from 2020. My pre-2020 Archive can be found for cheap on my Itch.io shop. For Patreon and Fanbox, all other tier prices are slightly increasing but they will remain at the current price for SubStar. I have a couple other new rewards planned for each tier too.
For those who can't afford a subscription, don't worry! I plan to release a Public Version of each Art Pack on my socials & galleries a few weeks after I publish them on Itchio.
I'm doing my best to be more productive this year and I've still got a ways to go before I'm 100% caught up, but in the meantime you're all providing me with some much-needed stability.
Thank you all very much for your support!

The rewards I offer between SubStar, Patreon and Fanbox will be mostly identical, yes. Each platform will have Art Packs, voting, and the new rewards I have planned. The only difference in rewards will be that Fanbox won't receive Discord roles since they haven't implemented that feature yet; I really hope they add it someday. If you're currently subbed on Patreon or SubStar, all you'll need to do is switch to the new version of your tier. If you're a current Batling sub ($1) and switch to the new Batling tier ($3), you'll only be charged the difference of $2. I'll leave the old tiers up for a while to give people time to switch, since creators can't simply change the price of a tier while people are still subbed to it.

So aside from the added platform and the one sd tier everything is the same?
