Hi Reb! This is a good question and I'd be happy to answer. Since you are a current subscriber, you would be automatically transferred into the desk tier at your current monthly payment which is less than someone who comes directly into the new site will pay. You will have that pricing as long as you are a subscriber. So you will have access to all the foundation classes, plus a few more classes that we are adding in there such as inking, etc. Once people move through the foundations, we are focusing on pro level courses to really hit the ground running.
The thing we really want to stress is focusing on going through these 25-30 classes in a real way. All these classes were built with an outcome in mind, so those are the ones we are going to really stick with. The other classes we have now are great, and there are a lot of them. But many are dated and really feel like an elective. Building a whole community focusing on working through the foundation in a meaningful way is the way we can bring the most people up together in terms of quality. And having too many videos that were just taken at random seemed to be a hard way to teach. In the new community we will be doing live demos, interviews, portfolio reviews, and a whole host of things that just aren't happening now. In the highest tier, people will get weekly zoom sessions and even 24 hour help on any problem or question they have. It's a way for us to service people moving their illustration career forward vs. just watching some educational videos.
I hope all that makes sense. We know the transition will be tricky and there is no perfect way to do it. But we hope you will join us in there and give it a shot! Please let me know if you have any other questions about it at all. : )
