It also takes a ton of work to organize all the different types of alts. They add up! Text, texltess, pee, the non-pee, then double it all for high and low res. Put it all in different zips for different tiers. I have to seperate the Photoshop Files too. One with the pee layers and another to upload without them for the general audience. I would love to do more kinky things and alts! But it has to be worth it. $5 for all this while people sometimes unpledge with negative feedback for the themes? Kinda brutal. And it makes me weary of it. Posting new art and watching people leave feels so bad, haha And not having the higher tiers would wipe out a major part of my support. To be transparent: I make about $1200 a month here. And the Watersports tier is $650 of that. Doing the same level of work for $650 less a month doesn't make me feel very good. That's why I wanted to expand instead of shrink my art. Do more themes! Incentive some more people to join Tier 2 for the sex art. Then draw sex work more! A little kinkier~ Then expand the pee tier to have more kinky themes. Not just one! But a number of them I can do alts and unique art for when it fits. And pee, should thatremain allowed. Which it might! I'll have to take more feedback on this to determine if this kinkier art is worth going for. I really want to! There's so much I don't draw I would like to, like pregnant alts from time to time. Some light anal vore with Assteria! Egg laying alts! I love that!

Pregnancy and egg laying? YES!!! I subscirbed mainly because of the WS art and I will stay for it, that's for sure. Now with WS having it's own tier I think it's a great idea to expand on it even further. Especially the aforementioned egg laying would be a dream. Quite the rare fetish I'd say. I do think having different tiers is probably the best solution for you, especially with the various types of themes you do. And for folks like me having to pay a little more for more niche and kinky content is totally ok. Depending on the artist, you usually pay ~10$ for "regular NSFW" content already, so I think you're really offering a lot at that price range with your level of quality! I do understand where the critique of the commenters above comes from but I can certainly understand your point of view of not wanting to lose patrons because they get overflown with kinky art that isn't for them too. Unfortunately you can't just blacklist things that aren't for you like on e621. So having different tiers kinda becomes inevitable at some point. In any case I hope you keep pushing on with your great and kinky work!!

I get it. I probably shouldnt do this then. But let me explain my reasoning And for the tier descriptions, I probably missed updating the "all art" part when I updated to the watersports one. I apologize for that. I'll fix it. Reason why was I occassionally did watersports art, then some would request I do it more. And when I did, others would delete their pledges with negative feedback saying they didn't like fetish art next to the regular art. I got a ton of advice saying I was undervaluing my art and making conflicts. By having one tier with all the art I was losing as many as I was gaining. I was drawing something people requested and losing from it. And if I want to add more kinks to draw, I will just have more of those same problems. Which is why I wanted the nude tier, sex tier, and kink tier. If I need to drop the tiered art, I will lose a lot of my current support and likely not draw the kinkier work. It just conflicts with too many people. And there is no way to avoid it if it is on the same tier. You can't just block the psts you don't want to see. I also need to point out I am waiting for Patreon to respond if I can continue making pee art. It appears it is a banned theme from payment processors on Itch.io now. Doesn't mean it will be banned here, but I need to prepare in case it is. I am not going to assume it is banned. If it was, I mean, surely by now I would have had it taken down. The tier changes here is a way for me to protect my art in case it is banned. Gives the tiers more value than just one themed style of art.

I did not even notice that previous watersports change until you mentioned it now, the current $5 tier saying "all art" and then a higher tier that apparently has more art should be made clearer. If you want to increase the cost of tiers that is one thing, but gating content behind different levels of tiers, especially at such a higher amount, doesn't exactly thrill me. If anything give higher tiers more voting weight in polls or the ability to make more requests.
