Below is the transcribed update if you don't feel like goin on that site! Enjoy your day!

Heyo everyone, Desu here! I do apologize for a bit of radio silence on here. I'll be 100% honest and say that I've been simply too overwhelmed and stressed to properly maintain this account, not only that but I surely was completely burnt out creatively. However, I've been making strides mentally and doing one of my biggest risks yet, moving out to the mainland US! And with that, I'm trying to improve that includes my presence on this site!

I'm here to tell you all about some, frankly, overdue changes here on my Patreon. I very much super appreciate the support all of you have given me through the years and I probably wouldn't be here without all of you. This is going to be a simple change with nothing fancy being added because, well, all my thinking is going into the move and all haha. Here are the changes to the tiers I'll be making in a few minutes:

$1 Tier Benefits:
- Early access to sketches + final art
- WIPs of personal + commissioned art
- Participate in Patreon Polls
- Early access to comic sketches

$5 Tier Benefits:
- Early access to sketches + final art
- WIPs of personal + commissioned art
- Participate in Patreon Polls
- Early access to comic pages and comic sketches
- High resolution PNGs, PSDs, + CSPs for some art pieces

$10 Tier Benefits:
- Early access to sketches + final art
- WIPs of personal + commissioned art
- Participate in Patreon Polls
- Early access to comic pages and comic sketches
- High resolution PNGs, PSDs, + CSPs for some art pieces
- 10% discount off Commissions

I'm sure you've noticed that these tiers no longer offer the patron sketches, and that's because I will no longer be offering them. The reason for removing these sketch rewards are simply because they were ballooning my workload, especially for the price I was offering. While I may have had the time and energy to do that a few years ago, I can't really keep up nowadays. I won't say I won't offer this perk again, but it will most likely be more limited and/or a higher price. However, that kind of thinking is a bit much at the moment and I still have a bit on my plate so I hope you can understand!

All patreon sketches tiers paid for before today, November 12th 2023, will still be followed through. If I still owe you for any sketch (discussed or undiscussed), please feel free to message me about it (either here or on any of my social media)! I do try to stay organized, but it doesn't hurt to make sure I didn't forget! Thank you for your patience, but I do have to ask to wait a bit more! I am slowly making progress with them, but I am trying to work on other art pieces as well. If you have followed me for a while, I'm sure you noticed the long haituses I take somewhat often. Well, that's burn out haha. I really do wanna and follow my passion for art, so I'm trying to pace myself more properly. So I ask for your understanding if you see me upload art other than your reward. I very much still want to follow through and finish all of em!

With these changes, my Patreon is going to be more akin to a tip jar, but I hope that it'll be worth it's value. I do want to try and come up with a bit more perks, but I chose to simply start with this change first as I'll be busy with moving and all that for a bit. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to read this! Again, I appreciate the support all of you have given me throughout the years so I hope i can make it up to you all starting now.

Thank you!
Desu
