Hello there!

 I've been giving some thought to my tiers lately and decided it was time to update them and change some things. Fret not, you won't lose any of your current benefits! 

With that being said, here's what will happen:

I'm introducing the Tip Jar Tier! For those who simply want to throw me a buck or two, this is the tier for you! 

Tier: Tip Jar
Starting Price: $1

Tier Description:
- Voting Polls
- My gratitude for your help! ❤

As a lil thank you, you'll even be able to vote on polls and affect what I may draw next!

-----
The Red Magic Tier remains the same, except now the benefits are a little better written :P
Oh and they'll also have access to Polls now too!

Tier: Red Magic
Starting price: $3

Tier Description:
- Previous benefits +
- SFW and NSFW sketches and WIPs
- HQ SFW ~ R15 illustrations 
- Access to Lvl 1 Sub-exclusive channels on Discord
- Additional Discount* on any Commission you hire me to
- Shoutout on the Supporter Newsletter
- My gratitude for your support! ❤

*As a bonus for the support, all Patrons from Red Magic and above may be able to receive discounts on their Commissions to me. Discounts may vary if there's already a sale happening for everyone else.

The Scarlet Meister Tier (previously Scarlet Spice), is also getting a little revamp, with some better explained benefits:

Tier: Scarlet Meister
Starting Price: $5

Tier Description:
- Previous benefits +
- HQ NSFW (R16+) illustrations + Alts
- Uncensored NSFW Works
- 1-3 days Early Access to my works (SFW included)
- Access to Lvl 2 Sub-exclusive channels on Discord
- My immense gratitude for your support! ❤

I'll also try my best to actually make the early access benefit happen from now on. Lately I've been just releasing to everyone all at the same time. This is mostly due to my impatience and also to how slow I am to make my stuff sometimes, meaning I don't wanna make people wait any longer than they need (sorry...). That being said though, I still wanna make this benefit happen at least on 70 ~ 80% of the cases, so I'll try my best!

-----
The new Scarlet Devil Tier (previously Scarlet Meister) was also revamped and better written. I also added some things to it too, such as the "Voting Power+" benefit. I'll also be linking the Suggestions Box with the Polls, so your suggestions might happen if enough people want to see them!

Tier: Scarlet Devil
Starting Price: $10

Tier Description:
- Previous benefits +
- Progress / Step-by-step Posts & Full Behind The Scenes
- AMA (ask me anything) Events
- Voting Power+ (Your votes on the polls are worth 2)
- Suggestions Box (Your suggestion may be added to polls)
- Request Events
- Unfinished Drawings & Discarded Ideas
- Access to Lvl 3 Sub-exclusive channels on Discord
- My immense gratitude for your support! ❤

Most of you must've noticed by now but I should still point it out: yes I want to make polls more frequently. This is another one of those benefits that is usually just there and I'm not doing anything with it. I want to change that, and that's why I did a couple of these changes, so that it should be much easier to have them occur. That being said, I have some ideas for initial polls, and I plan to start them next month. There will be polls for characters to draw, situations, and even themes (more on that later). 

Also, since the end of the year is fast approaching, I also wanna make a poll asking you what were your favorite drawings of mine this year, by month, so that I can do a nice year's end collage/post featuring all of the most voted ones. I'll make a post and announcement with more info on December.

On this same note, I wanna ask you, real talk here, if I'm not in a stated hiatus and you feel like I'm not doing enough of a certain benefit, or simply forgot to do it (be it Polls, WIP updates, Events, BTS, Early Access etc), please let me know and I'll take your feedback into account. Sometimes I just really forget about something or other, and it's very easy for me to lose interest in something if I feel like it's not interesting or that there's not enough interactions. Your feedback is really important to me and I really need it to become better at what I do and to deliver more interesting things to you! So don't shy away from saying or calling me out on certain things (just be nice please ;u;). I wanna build this together with you, my supporters, and I really need your support. I have many flaws as a human being, so please help me, and we may make each others lives much livelier ("and lewder" -Yphyska)! 

Oh, and also, your feedback on my art is important too, if you think anything can be improved on a WIP of mine feel free to let me know and I'll consider your opinion!

With that out of the way, you may also have noticed the previous Scarlet Devil tier (The $25 one) is getting canned. This is mostly due to the facts that it's too troublesome to manage the contents of that tier (specially given the sizes of the files on my small space cloud storage), and also that there wasn't anyone really interested in it, therefore I decided to take it out. It might come back in the future if demand for it is substantial enough, but for now, it'll remain in the shadow realm. 

As a consequence, "Scarlet Spice" is also no more, and it was now renamed Scarlet Meister (previously the name of the $10+ tier). Meanwhile, the $10 tier now is "Scarlet Devil", in other words, you can pay a lot less to have the cooler status around these parts now. B) Not to mention, now the roles are all part of the same "theme". Said theme being Remilia Scarlet and the SDM characters from Touhou Project. I mean, there was no "Scarlet Spice" associated with them, so that was always a little awkward. 

These updates will all be applied to my other platforms as well (Patreon and FANBOX), and thus everyone should be walking at pretty much the same pace. Also, they'll be mostly applied to content going forward, going back and altering my posts from before this change to match it would be a little time consuming. So, if you have anything you desire to see (that you now should have access to thanks to the update), link me to it and I'll update it ASAP.

That all being said, what are your thoughts on this? Does this update sound good, want me to revert anything? I'd love to hear your opinions! Your feedback is really important!

Thank your for reading this if you did,
And as always, thank you very much for your support! ❤︎
-Scarlet.

Hello there, it's time once again to summarize the last month!

I haven't been posting any new WIPs lately because I've been mainly focusing on updating / finishing older projects that have been pilling up. However I am keeping track of any ideas I have for future ones on a notepad.

I've been also trying to take it easy and focus a bit more on life and myself as well, being on the internet too much or just working too much isn't exactly doing any good for my mental health. But that being said I'll pick up the pace very soon. 

The Suggestions Box and AMAs will now be available directly from my Patreon, Fanbox and SubscribeStar. Previously the Suggestions Box was only a channel on my Discord and you could also send suggestions to me through DMs. But now, I'll make it a little post every month on my platforms, that will be pinned so that is more easily viewable. Same thing goes for AMAs, whenever I run them. To make things easier I might also make these into a Form at some point too, so it'll be easier to send them my way.

I've been trying my best to be a little more active and talkative on my social media, but it's very hard for me since I'm very boring and reclusive (at least I feel like), so forgive me if I just appear to be dead most of the time. :(

I know my art isn't all that good (at least in my own opinion), and I'm also very slow to make them, and since I barely say anything besides in a couple key posts here and there, and when I post an art, it just leaves this immense gap between me and you, the viewer, and that's really bad because my goal is to get closer to everyone, hear feedback and build a community together. 

Come to think of it, maybe this is the cause of my lack of confidence and motivation. The pandemic isn't really doing any wonders for me (or anyone for that matter), an already reclusive prick, so I tend to feel very lonely. And since I'm always so cynical and pessimist I tend to beat myself down a lot...

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get all sad in the end there, I try to not let my personal issues affect my work too much. I just don't usually have anyone to talk about them so sometimes they pile up, but I'll be fine, probably.

I've been thinking about altering my Commissions model. Up to now I've been doing the body sections format (Head Shot, Half Body, Full Body), but I've been considering changing it to a more "effort based" system. What I mean by that is the prices will now reflect the amount of work I'll put into a piece. This will allow me to give a greater variety of price options for anyone who wishes to commission me. Now, don't get wrong, this does not mean I'll put less effort into smaller commissions like Head Shots, Emotes or Avatars, I'll still try to make the best thing possible for that specific piece. What will happen is that basically each commission will now be it's own "beast".

Main types of Commission I'm aiming for: Sketch, Lineart, Emote, Head Shot, Chibi, Base Color / Flat Color, Background Only, Simple Shading, Full Shading. 

If you have any suggestions of other commission types I could add to this, feel free to let me know. 

But regardless, this is all just an idea at the moment, and before I make that decision I wanna hear from you if you think this is worth it? My idea with this is to give a little more for less to everyone, and also more for "full" commissions.

Just like the Suggestions Box, I might also make a Form too, to make it simpler to send me a commissions request, and I'm also looking into creating a Skeb too. I'll let you all know if and when I do.

We haven't achieved any goals just yet but patience is a virtue, as they say! So let's keep going! 

And also, as things go on I might even update or add some new goals as well! 

If you have a suggestion for a goal, feel free to let me know, I'm always listening! Sometimes it's hard to come up with these all on my own. x-x

I wanna give a special Thank You to those that supported me for the month of August.

Thank you very very much, from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate you for enjoying my art, giving me a chance and supporting me!

For those who decide to continue being supporters, I hope you continue to enjoy your stay! Thank you very much for your continuous support! Love ya! ❤︎

For those leaving, for whichever reasons, I hope to see you again! Thank you for your support and for giving me a chance, it meant a lot to me!

And also thanks to those who aren't able to support me monetarily (which is totally fine), but support me through favorites, likes, retweets, follows, and generally spreading the word around! I appreciate you a lot as well!

----------

Well, that was all for this summary, thank you very much for reading this, if you did. And I hope you'll join me or continue with me on this journey of improvement, growth and self discovery!

----------

I wanna invite any of you that haven't joined my Discord server yet to do so, since I tend to be a lot more talkative in there than here. I like to keep this place a little more clean with only important announcements and stuff, so I leave all the small talk and thoughts to a more direct approach on the supporters-only chat! So come have fun and chill! 

The invite: https://discord.gg/aZZJg9Q
