Updates: Changes (September ‘22)
🕑 Added 2022-09-07 11:07:49 +0000 UTCWell that took longer than I expected.
It’s been a while since the last major or at least news update! This may not be as long as the typical one, but I figured I wanted to at least shed light on some changes that will be happening over the course of this month as well as the context of recent, far more passive updates that are thankfully nearing their end.
🖼Context
Probably a good idea to start with the elephant in the room. While I'm not really able to get into detail outside a few stand out points, there’s at least two major points I’ll go with:
- Plans to Move Out Of The Island
There are problems in my current town+place that are really starting to get into the way of making things work out, like frequent and unpredictable blackouts, relatively slow network speeds, very inconvenient pay ratio for jobs (not even a full-time’s good enough for a basic apartment, assuming there’s even housing to begin with!), and equally inconvenient commuting as well as some conflicts of interests and schedules within the household at this time.
So, after months of doing homework, some deliberating, I have decided to start motioning towards staying with another family member in the States. Not really an easy decision to be honest, but it’s decided for the best.
- The 10 Month Training Arc + Status Update
I was really unhappy with the direction of my art and online presence on the sidelines late 2021 (as well as having select problems, back then and now alike). Once it was clear I would need to move out properly, I decided to go for 6 months just simply ironing out my work while providing some side-content as usual and come back properly with the commissions at hand.
On hindsight, that didn't pan out as I hoped it would (even had a few moments I thought it was over only to be smacked right back into this mess), but I am happy with the results now. I no longer need an unrealistically (for the moment) higher Patreon goal to make better things to help with the first point, and can finally get back to regular weekly posts.
The rest I can explain with the changes, so let’s get to that.
📋Changes (For Patreon)
In General
- New/Readjusted Goals. Now that the trainings and personal comfort's done, I have changed up my goals to reflect the new goals. To sum them up, basically, the more per month I get, the better the rewards I can offer.
Commissions and Ko-Fi are absolutely helping out deliver some of these better works even below the goal, but achieving the goal will ensure that a lot of that time can be put towards them! - Schedules. There is none. My goal is to post at least once a week starting Sept 10, no specific dates or hours.
- AFZ Discord Reward will be temporarily removed for now. The server will remain but I want to focus more on re-establishing and fixing up my places first. The server could be reset entirely due to bots breaking roles over times and a few other issues. The server will be notified in advance if that happens.
- Visuals Overhaul. Updating things like banners and links.
- No Tier Price Changes.
Content
- Tier $3: WIPs and Commissions are part of the line-up. Rated PG-13.
- Tier $5: WIPs and Commissions are part of the line-up. Rated NSFW.
- ALL Tiers: There will be occasional bigger works like animations, comic pages and concept art coming to all tiers starting Sept 10.
- Anime/VTubers are now part of the general roster proper. Anthros are still in.
- Suggestions will now be Polls instead (Exclusive and Priority Polls)
- Polls will be of similar interests unless it's under a theme (ie. Yor Forger won't share a poll with Amy Rose, but can be grouped with Calliope Mori)
- Content on Socials will be uploaded to their Full Resolution on Patreon
- Patrons will be eligible for Gumroad Coupons (Free or Discount)

With this out of the way, let's finally begin once more.
