Life Updates and Tier Rewards Discussion

Hello all! In case you didn't catch it in my earlier post or if you aren't in the connected Discord server...

The wife and I are having a baby!

We have both been very busy planning and working around our house to prepare, and it has very obviously impacted my art production recently. I am still going to complete everything that I owe from the monthly submission polls, but my first priorities at the moment are outstanding commissions.

Seeing how this has already impacted my art time significantly, I have enough knowledge right now to figure out that if I were to continue doing the monthly polls that I would become so much more swamped in overdue pics than I already am.

As of right now, I am considering halting future character submission polls.

I don't consider that lightly, as I know it is a huge part of why you guys are subscribing at the higher tiers and I really hate the thought of taking things away from everyone. I am planning on putting up a "vacation" message starting in January. This is a subscribestar feature that allows payments to continue if you all wish to stay supporting me and it will pin a public message at the top of my page. I will still be posting whenever I possibly can after the baby is born, but it may be even more sporadic. Know that both the wife and I greatly appreciate your support, you have all been an invaluable part of our lives and you all have helped us out of so many jams and troubles with your support here. Thank you all, so very much.

That being said, I am more than open to discussion on alternative things I could do to make the higher tiers worth your while!

If you have any ideas or suggestions, please discuss them below! I am open to any and all ideas!

And again, thank you all so much!
