IMPORTANT: changes to Patreon tiers!
🕑 Added 2023-08-12 16:55:49 +0000 UTCHeya guys! Sorry for keeping shuffling around the highest value Patreon tier, but it's years that I'm trying new things and trying to see what works best for me and for you ---and after almost an year of working with it, I came to the conclusion that the latest raffle-styled reward just doesn't work :,3
It was a test to see if I could work more quickly on my fully shaded illustrations and get better with them, but it only made me extremely anxious about getting them done, which in turn made you wait a LOT of time to see them completed, which isn't fair at all D:
(in fact, I still have a few to finish; my apologies to you all for taking so long with them T_T)
I also really dislike the whole chance aspect of it, because I would like for all of you to get something since you're spending extra money for this, it's been a while now that it's feeling pretty unfair to me and I've been tempted several times to pick more than one monthly winner, but I mean ---I can barely manage the current once a month illustration format, doing more would be a disaster x,D
So, the Feline Supernova tier is going to be changed/deleted! In its place, a new, limited tier is opening up, and for €50, you will be getting:
-ALL previous rewards, including discord access, early access to my art and sales, and base/outfit rewards each month (valued €15+)
- a 15% discount on ANY of my flat-price sales (including adopts, YCHs, and commissions; can be used once a month, doesn't stack)
- ONE previous reward of your choice the first time you join from the €5 tier (one-time reward; doesn't have to be a base, you can get an outfit if you prefer!)
- occasionally, exclusive access to a small on-base batch of adopts with cheaper prices than usual (€20-40 range); if unclaimed, the batch will be up for claim first for other patrons, and then to the public, with slightly raised prices
- mosty importantly, you will get EVERY month one colored messy sketch fullbody art (or bust couple), any (not too complex) character/gender/species/rating! Fullbody sketch is worth €45, bust couple €50, samples here: https://sta.sh/2nd87gdvujt?edit=1
Tier will be limited to 10 slots to ensure I can get all sketch rewards done quickly (they take me 1-2h each so turnaround for them is 1-7 days from when you send me the info each month), I may add more slots in the future if I see that this works ^^
I am also considering to add as this tier's perk one handwritten letter from me with a custom doodle for you, a couple italian snacks, and a couple items from my online merch shop, only to those who have pledged since a long time (6+ months)! I still need to think about it though since shipping can get very expensive and I'm not sure if anyone would enjoy this kind of reward, so please do let me know if it's something you might enjoy! It would help tremendously in making my choice ahah ♥
So, given these changes, what happens this month?
I will be opening the new tier now, so that people can already join, but keep also the €25 tier for this month, so if you had joined for that specific reward you don't have to worry, I WILL be choosing one last winner this month for the shaded illustration before canceling the tier!
If you were only interested in the current €25 tier and don't plan on subbing to the new €50 tier with the monthly guaranteed sketch, as said above you will still have a chance to win the illustration prize this month, but it will be the last time! So make sure to edit your pledge to a lower one or cancel it before September 1st, as that's when the €25 tier will be deleted!
If you're interested in the new €50 tier and would like to get your monthly art starting from this month, you can already upgrade your pledge right now! You will NOT be charged an extra €50 for it, just the difference between your current tier and the new one! (so if you're currently a €5 tier you will pay €45, if you're a €25 tier you will pay €25)
Please note that if you're switching from the €25 tier to the €50 one, you will NOT be entered in this month's raffle for the shaded illustration, since you're already getting your monthly sketch!
Hopefully this will be the last time I change up the higher/art tier, but I feel much better with this since it's a reward that everyone in the tier is getting, and a commission type I'm much more confident offering on a monthly basis ^^
As always, if you have any suggestions on how I can make my Patreon rewards feel better, please let me know! They're here to thank you for your support, so I want them to be something you can enjoy ♥
Thanks for reading this, and for your support! Love you all, my shooting stars! ♥♥♥

Awww, thank you so much for the consideration!! ;v; ♥ I honestly wasn't expecting the slots to be all gone so quickly, I recommend checking the last and the first couple days of the month as that's when usually people leave if you're interested in upgrading! Thanks a lot for the thought, it means a lot!

Darn I saw the new tier got filled in. I will have to keep an eye out for if new slots open or if someone leaves. ^^ I don't mind staying in the base tier though but was gonna try to upgrade. Maybe another time.

Sounds awesome! :0
DesireeU
thank you so much, that's so very kind of you! ;w; you got one, I will personally send a message to all patrons in a couple days asking for refs, but if you want you can already message me with what you'd like ^^
DesireeU
sadly due to how patreon works they're FCFS, as I have no way to manually reserve them ;o;
DesireeU
thank you so much for your consideration, I hope you get one! ♥ I may open up for more slots if there's enough demand and I can deal with the current one in a timely manner ^^

Honestly I just had to switch to the new tier, some sketchy arts from you would be amazing. Hopefully I was quick enough to snag a slot. :0
PaintedArcane
Just curious are the slots FCFS or is there a possible way to claim/request a slot? QwQ
