UPDATE #12 - big changes
🕑 Added 2016-02-11 18:35:30 +0000 UTC First of all, thank you all who supported me this month, I appreciate every last bit you donated to me.Big changes indeed. My patreon will go through another big change, which will probably lead to some more numbers dropping, but this is something I wanted to do. I know patreon's first appeal is the pledge levels and their benefits, but I am going to 'remove' the pledge rewards, and giving them out free of charge. This might be a little strange move, because the whole 'oh I get videos this way' appeal will be gone. I want people to access to what I do without paywalls. I will keep the pledge levels as a 'pointer' to help people decide how much they can toss my way. I want to keep my patreon running for community purposes, so please reach out, comment if you have the time :)
I thank you all for your generosity, it means a lot to me, and this is my main income. I'm not going to vent or rant about my life to gain your empathy, but I want you to know how much you helped me. You helped me find myself. I'm usually not that sentimental, but this is huge.
Also: I will probably release the packs in a 'pay what you want' format later on for people who don't want to commit to a site like this. You will keep getting the links of course, and I keep making the videos / uploading high res versions / PSD files etc.
I hope you understand, it makes me feel better about myself, even if I make less money. Maybe some people who couldn't afford the higher pledge levels will access to the behind scene stuff and help them learn, grow as artists.
- pack #15
Links were sent out for this month.
As it was said, in February I will try to focus on the sexiness / love themes, I don't have a lot to work with right now, but I had a few ideas coming from you guys, like the 'oval theme' (Sombra / Octavia), I might continue the series :)
- Livestreams
I will try to livestream more on twitch and picarto as well, I added a donation button for both sites, so you can support me through that way. It uses the twitchalerts system, so if I'm streaming you'll see your name popping up. I know it's stupid but why not :)
Follow these streams, so you get a notification when I'm online:
http://www.twitch.tv/atryl (for SFW streams)
https://picarto.tv/atryl (for NSFW strams)
Alright. That's all for now. We'll see how it works out, what I do is still pretty much rely on your generosity, so I'm hoping the changes won't turn you away from me.
Thank you all again, and keep being awesome! Cya at the next update! <3
Love,
atryl

Love your spirit bud! And because of that, I'll be keeping my support right where it is. I may not have been actively engaged with you on here or your streams lately, but just knowing I can help support your fantastic art and the way you share it, I'm satisfied. Keep on rocking it! <3 EDIT: Maybe we can get some more cute BB work in the near future. ;)

I'm actually really glad you've done this, I've had to previously reduce my pledge amount knowing that I would be losing some good quality behind the scenes action but still wanting to support you. However, despite the rewards I will always support your work the best that I can.
I will always support you. You are an amazing artist with an amazing talent. I know I for one don't donate a lot, but I like to try and support anyway. Keep up the amazing work please. :)

Dayum, what a change. Will always support regardless C:

I have no problems with this change. Do what suits you. :)

I also think this is a classy move, and I will continue to support you at least at the level I've been pledging all along, more if I can manage it. Cheers to you, mate.

That's actually pretty awesome, Atryl. It's a really classy move on your part to make your art more available to the public, even when this is one of your main sources of income. It really helps those of us with unstable income who love your art but can't support you as much as we'd like to. Personally I don't plan on dropping my support, and I may even increase it just to "vote with my wallet" about how I think artists should approach their community with humility and respect. You've always been a really great example of someone that people like first for their art, and then like even more for what kind of person they are. Keep it up man :D
