ABOUT THIS PATREONFounded in 2017, this Patreon is run by Onyrica - freelance illustrator and art mentor - and as of 2026, Iruno - also a freelance illustrator and sister of the former.The most unique part of this Patreon is its reward portal: StarStickers - a platform designed and run in-house that you get access just by being a patron.To put it simply: every month you pledge you’ll get a set amount of points, which you can then spend on rewards such as custom art, lessons, discounts, tokens and merchandise. You can also get more points by participating in monthly art challenges, referring friends or pledge anniversaries.This guide will walk you through the most important key information for each type of tier and reward, but please also check the monthly updates on Patreon for up to date information.

STARSTICKERS - (How do Rewards work?)
StarStickers is the core this Patreon: a reward platform designed and maintained in-house where you'll collect points for being a patron that you can later spend on rewards such as custom art*, lessons, discounts, tokens and merchandise.
*Exclusive to Legacy (signed up prior to June 2026), Extreme and Ultimate patrons.
GETTING STARTED
The first step towards gaining access to rewards is being a patron. If you've got that down, amazing!If, however, you're not, you can sort that out right here: patreon.com/onyrica
Once you've joined the Patreon, you should go to StarStickers and create an account using the same details (username/email) you did to sign up to Patreon.As soon as you've created your account, it'll be reviewed by an admin to cross check details and pledge status before being granted full access. If you're a patron and you haven't signed up yet, you can do that here:
How many points, and what rewards you'll be able to access will depend on what tier you signed up for.
Let's have a look at that.
TIER & REWARD INFORMATION
There are currently 6 tiers available, all of which include the following rewards:
Full access to the Patreon timeline, including artwork, WIPs, timelapses, polls, updates and more.
Full access to the Discord server, including the art channels, server events and more.
Access to StarStickers - a reward portal where the points earned through pledging can be redeemed for Merchandise and Mentorship rewards, as well as Illustrated Rewards (commissions) on certain tiers.
A set amount of points each month to spend on StarStickers, as well as options to earn more through events.
There are two types of tiers - open and limited - which also offer specific rewards:
OPEN TIERS
Tiers with no limited amount of slots to join.
| TIER | PLEDGE (p/month) | REWARDS |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | 5$ | 5 points p/month on StarStickers |
| Intermediate | 10$ | 10 points p/month on StarStickers |
| Advanced | 20$ | 20 points p/month on StarStickers |
LIMITED TIERS
Tiers with a limited amount of slots that only become available once a slot is vacated.
These tiers all offer special rewards on top of their regular point allocation.
| TIER | PLEDGE (p/month) | REWARDS | SLOT LIMIT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mentor | 50$ | 20 points p/month on StarStickers, Private 50 min. monthly art session | 10 slots |
| Extreme | 50$ | 50 points p/month on StarStickers, Access to Illustrated Rewards (commissions) | 15 slots |
| Ultimate | 100$ | 100 points p/month on StarStickers, Access to Illustrated Rewards (commissions), Priority in the booking and completion of Illustrated Rewards | 5 slots |
TYPES OF REWARD
There are many different rewards to pick from, but they're typically divided into 4 categories:
Illustrated rewards: custom art made for you by either Onyrica or Iruno. Like a commission but paid for in points! Unlike all other rewards, illustrations only open at certain times of the year and use an application based system. These rewards are only available to Legacy, Extreme and Ultimate tier patrons.
Token rewards: add-ons to an existing commission or reward which allow you to expand the specification of your project by adding details - such as pets or artifacts - getting original designs for outfits, hairstyles and tattoos or making your piece slightly more NSFW. These rewards are only available to Legacy, Extreme and Ultimate tier patrons.
Mentorship rewards: for those looking to improve their own art, these rewards will allow you to book a private 50 minute art mentoring session with Onyrica. The session will be tailored specifically for each student and can be booked by anyone, regardless of tier or artistic level. These rewards are available to all patrons.
Merchandise rewards: exclusive prints and merchandise made by Onyrica & Iruno, with shipping cost included. These rewards are available to all patrons.
BOOKING REWARDS
The process for booking rewards once you've got enough points is pretty straightforward, if a little different depending on the reward you choose. For more information, please head on to the individual sections below:
For general rewards, like access to the Discord or the content on Patreon please check below:
Rewards FAQ
"Can I get more than one reward if I have enough points?"
Illustrated, Token and Mentorship Rewards: only one reward of each type* can be booked at a time. This limit will remain until the reward is completed and signed off.Merchandise rewards: You can purchase as many items as you have points for.*All rewards can be booked together with another type (ie, you can have an illustrated, token, mentorship and merchandise reward booked at the same time)
"Do I need to pay anything on top of the points?"
Nope! All rewards are currently cashed in only in points - meaning that all the money you've put towards your pledge will have effectively paid for your purchase.Specific requirements not specific in the reward specifications, like tracked shipping on merchandise, might require an additional fee.
"What happens if I change or delete my pledge?"
+ If you increase your pledge, you will get the difference in points applied to your account immediately!
- If you reduce your pledge, the points you received at the start of the month will remain the same (i.e, no points will be deducted). Going forward, you will receive the lower amount of the tier you’re on.
- If you delete your pledge, your account will be frozen but your points will remain untouched for 60 days before they reset. You will also lose Legacy status if you were signed up before June 2026 and deleted your pledge afterwards.
"Will my rewards be honored if I delete my pledge?"
Absolutely. However, your reward will be put on a separate queue with less priority than those booked by active patrons. You can check the status of all rewards here.To ensure that I can deliver your reward, please make sure that you give me a means to contact you after your account is cleared from Patreon and the Discord server.
"I have another question!"

Illustrated & Token Rewards
Illustrated rewards is just a fancy way of saying "commission", with the added bonus that you pay for it with the points you've been collecting by being a patron!Similarly, Token rewards are an accessory to any illustration made for you, used to enhance the piece by adding details, designing new ideas or offering a bit of spice.For a description of the specifications and point cost for each individual reward, please visit StarStickers while logged into your account and click on any button underneath the relevant image.
Illustrated and Token Rewards are exclusive to Legacy (any patron pledged before June 2026), Extreme and Ultimate Tier patrons.
Booking Illustrated rewards
Illustrated rewards are unique in many ways - primarily by being the only way you can acquire a custom made piece of art (or "commission") made by Onyrica or Iruno - but also in how they work compared to all other rewards.Here's an overview of how, when and who can book them:
Illustrated rewards become available at several points throughout the year, typically announced in the monthly Patreon updates. These updates will always include a section that mentions if rewards are opening that particular month, during which days and which artist (Onyrica, Iruno or both) will be taking applications.
Unlike all other rewards, which can be booked directly at any point, Illustrated rewards use an application system. Whenever a new batch is announced in the monthly update, patrons who are eligible will be able to log into StarStickers during the opening days, go into Illustrated rewards on their homepage, select the reward they're interested and apply for it.
Once the window for applications closes, there will be a fair selection process to decide whose application is successful. This process is designed to give priority to those who've received none or few rewards, though several other factors - such as number of rewards previously received, times applied unsucessfully, pledge longevity and tier level are also heavily considered.
Succesful applications will be allocated approximately 1 month after the window closed. Those who are selected will receive an email with further instructions, while those who were not will have the points used returned to their account and their chances of succeeding in a future application increased.
Illustrated rewards are only available to Legacy supporters (anyone who pledged prior to June 2026 and remained pledged afterwards), Extreme and Ultimate tier patrons (while they remain in those tiers). Additionally, any eligible patron can only have 1 Illustrated reward booked at a time - regardless of which artist it's being made by.
For information on when the next batch of Illustrated rewards will be opening, please keep your eyes out for the monthly announcements on Patreon.
Booking Token rewards
Token rewards are add-ons you can purchase to enhance most types of reward and commission, by either adding details (weapons, pets...) or creating original designs (outfits, hairstyles, tattoos...).Here's a few things to note before booking a token reward:
Token rewards can be found under the Illustrated Rewards category, underneath the custom art options. Unlike Illustrated rewards these can be directly booked with no application stage.
Token rewards can be booked at any point, but can only be used once an Illustrated reward or commission has been successfully booked. Token rewards on their own do not constitute a custom art piece, nor do they guarantee an application for a custom art piece will be successful.
You may choose to apply a Token reward to any illustration you successfully book - be it a current or a future one. Please do bear in mind that not all tokens are suitable for all types of rewards (ie, an "Outfit Design token" would be lost on a "Lineart Bust" piece). If in doubt, please discuss your options with your chosen artist.
While all Token rewards can be applied to any artwork booked with Onyrica, only Hair Design and Prop Tokens can be applied to rewards booked with Iruno at this time
In addition to regular Token rewards there are a few special variations:
Switch Token: this is a unique token which only shows up for people with one of the following Illustrated rewards booked with Onyrica: Lineart Bust, Color Bust, Couple lineart bust and Mystery Box. This token will become available to eligible patrons whenever an Iruno batch of Illustrated rewards opens, allowing them to switch from Onyrica's longer queue to Iruno's shorter one.
Nap Token: these tokens are a symbolic reward, designed to "buy" 30 minutes of rest for either of the artists behind this Patreon. There is no physical reward for this type of token, other than the satisfaction of knowing your support might keep us alive a little longer.
Discount Token: found in a separate section of the homepage, these are legacy tokens only applicable to anyone with an actual paid commission in the works.
For answers to the most common questions regarding purchased rewards please check the page for StarStickers, under "Reward FAQ".

MENTORSHIP
The hardest part of making art is actually getting past the part where you open up a sketchpad or canvas and put the first line down.Whether you've already done that or need a little push to get you going, my mentorship is designed to give students of any level access to the support and encouragement to keep that energy going.
How to access mentorship
There are two ways of gaining access to private mentorship: via booked rewards on StarStickers
or by pledging to the limited Mentor Tier:
Mentor Tier: this is a tier designed for people who want to commit to learning and improving their art or make art their professional priority. Patrons on this tier are considered "students" and will have a dedicated Discord channel, where they'll get a 1-hour private session each month (as well as in-between text support) to discuss their on-going art goals and solve any particular challenges by tailoring a program to their needs. Slots on this tier are always limited to 10 to ensure all Mentor Tier students get priority when booking a session.
Any tier, via Mentorship Token: through StarStickers, any patron can purchase a Mentorship Token for 40 points, which grants a single 50-min session to discuss their art, goals, provide advice or give pointers to take forward. Any patron (including patrons on the Mentor Tier) can book one of these tokens per month - to be used then or at a later time as they don't expire.
The Mentor tier has a limit of 10 slots and vacancies only become available once an existing student drops out. These vacancies will always be announced through the monthly Patreon updates as well as in the
Announcements channel of the Discord server.
For more information on how to book a session please read on below.
How to book a session
At the start of each month, through the Mentorship channel of the Discord, I will publish that month's available slots on my session calendar). From this point the process works as follows:
Mentor Tier: once the monthly announcement is made, students get two priority days to book their preferred slot. This is done by opening the calendar, looking through available times and pinging me with their preffered slot via our private Discord channel.
Mentorship Token: anyone with a token is eligible to spend it on whatever slots are left available after Mentor Tier students book their spaces through the priority period by following the same process above or, in the absence of a private channel, by DMing Onyrica on Discord.
You can find and bookmark my calendar here: bit.ly/ony-calendarPlease note that the times in the calendar are in UK time (GMT or BST). You may switch the timezone to your own via the settings on the top right corner of the page.
What is the mentorship like?
Once the session has been booked, all that's left is showing up!The sessions are held via voice chat on Discord, with screen-share from my end to go over your work and make any notes that will be returned to you once the session concludes. On the day and time we scheduled, please have a headseat and the ability to stream my screen-share and just click on your private channel to jump into the session.There is no fixed script for a mentorship session. Whether you need support learning how to draw from scratch or a second pair of eyes on the work that you're already creating for customers, each session is tailored to your particular requirements.To that end, the first session will usually be a general overview of your goals and expectations. You will be asked to provide some samples of your work (if you have any) and a list of priorities to cover, so that we can develop a customised plan for your needs.After that, we will establish the best way to proceed with your particular lessons according to your time, abilities and objectives, setting down a foundation on which to build upon going forward.
A few things to note:
If you’re a Mentor Tier student, you will be expected to keep an on-going subscription and commit to showing up regularly in order to achieve your goals, as well as to keep your mentorship privileges (priority booking, text support...). If your needs are more sporadic, consider joining a different tier and using Mentorship Tokens when needed.
Mentor tier students can swap their session for points in the event of not being able to turn up on any given month. This swap can happen up to 5 times per year and must be notified as soon as possible and prior to booking a session.
Once booked, a session might be changed, postponed or cancelled up to three hours before the allocated time. You can do this by pinging me through your private Discord channel or, in the absence of one, by DM. Failing to do so will mean forfeiting the session and/or token it was booked with.
On months where there is a surplus of slots, Mentor tier students may opt to have two sessions - their default one and one booked with a Mentorship token. All other students may only have one booked session per month.
Sessions are intransferable and must be redeemed by the subscribed patron. That said, some exceptions can be made when looking to pass the session onto a relative or close relation. This should always be discussed with the artist first, to assess the viability of the request and give it due consideration.
As stated above, the sessions are held in voice chat so you must ensure the following before joining the call: you must have a working headset with a microphone. The session will be held in English so you must have a good grasp of the language to make sure we can communicate efficiently. Please ensure that on the day of the session you are capable of sitting in a dedicated space, with no background noise or distractions, and the ability to stream video and communicate by voice.
Should you need any particular accommodations for your session, you are more than welcome to communicate them prior to starting and I will be more than happy to make any necessary adjustments.
Other ways to learn
Regardless of tier, you will get access to our the Discord community, in which we have an entire section dedicated to art channels and populated by artists of all levels who you can chat to, ask advice and feedback from or participate in community events with.
Both Onyrica and Iruno will regularly share WIPs, timelapses and insights of their own art through their dedicated servers, with threads or room for questions and commentary.

StarStickers is currently the only place where you can get prints and merchandise made by Onyrica and IrunoPrints come in A4 and A3 sizes and are always available, with new items frequently added. Other merchandise, like artbooks, bookmarks, keychains and stickers will have limited runs that only become available at certain points in time and are usually first come, first served.
How to book merchandise
Once you've collected enough points for your desired prints or merch, you can log into your StarStickers account, click on "Merchandise" and select your preferred options.For prints, you will be given the option to choose specific prints from a drop down menu listing their titles. For a preview of all available images, please see below.Please note the following:
Merchandise parcels are often grouped up and shipped out every 1-2 months. Standard shipping is included in the booking. Should you need your parcel by a certain timeframe, you can contact Onyrica to request expedited shipping for an additional fee.
Parcels may be shipped out from different countries and arrive at separate points in time.
Once your parcel is sent you will receive an email confirming its shipment.

DISCORD COMMUNITY
The Discord server - lovingly called The Artroom - is a fantastic little community full of wonderful people who constantly support each other through general banter, games and, of course, art. It is highly recommended that you join us in order to receive the full benefits of your pledge, as well as to be part of something incredibly special and close.
How to join:If you have your Discord account connected to your Patreon account, this will happen automatically. If you don’t, then you can go to patreon.com/settings/apps and somewhere in there you should be able to connect your accounts and join in automatically. If none of that works, then you’re welcome to DM me and I’ll see what I can do.
Why should you join:As per above, a large part of the mentorship aspect happens through the Discord - from the general feedback, to the stream feedback, to the private sessions. Additionally, we also organise events - such as art challenges (open to other crafts too, such as writing) and art parties, DnD and light roleplaying sessions - that everyone’s welcome to participate (or not) in. Finally, the vast majority of my announcements (such as when limited tiers open, when I run a survey or when I just have general PSAs to send out in the moment) also happen in the server.That aside, the community is exceptionally warm and welcoming as a whole. We have writing channels, cooking channels, FFXIV and gaming channels and also channels where you can promote your own commissions and work if you’re a creative. We’re generally active, but not overwhelmingly so, and I keep an open door policy for everyone to express themselves and suggest what they think would be best for the server.Finally, you’re also more than welcome to join and mute the server whilst leaving just a few notifications on. I very rarely use the @everyone tag and only ever do so if the matter is truly relevant to your subscription. That aside, we have selective roles that you can leave active should you wish to receive updates for those and nothing else.

ART EVENTS
Art events are a general term for little activities that we plan within the community. Currently there’s two primary ones that happen approximately every two months. Here’s a breakdown of what they involve:
Art challenge:Art challenges are a casual way for everyone to get involved in doing something creative, with no pressure or need to do a perfect job. It's not a contest or competition- everyone is welcome and all patrons receive the same rewards. Furthermore, it's not just open to artists, but to writers, video editors, sculptors or anyone with two hands and a creative thought in mind.Every two months a blurb and a theme is given out for people to do whatever they come up with up until the deadline. Anyone who completes the challenge by that date, regardless of skill level or quality of the piece, will receive the point bonus mentioned in the event (usually 10 pts, but there’s often bonus for special occasions such as Christmas).This primarily centers around the Discord server, though it’s often posted on the Patreon timeline as well for those who do not care for it or have a Discord account
FFXIV Art Parties (On hiatus until Evercold):Many of my supporters are also active players in the MMO Final Fantasy XIV. A few years ago, ‘Art parties’ became a common means to gather within the game while everyone was in lockdown and now, while less frequent, still exist as a way to foster creativity and engage with each other.During these events, you can bring your character (or an alt made in their image) to a specific location (which changes for every event) and either draw other people, take screenshots or simply stand pretty and hope others will do the same for you. You can also just chat, perform or simply lurk in silence while observing everyone else. There really is no other stipulation other than “pop by, chill out”.You do not have to be an artist to attend this event. As long as you're part of this Patreon you are welcome to attend, along with an external friend or two (though you should refrain from publicising the venue openly as this is meant to be exclusive to patrons).

WORKLOAD AND waiting times
With almost 10 years under the belt, this Patreon has an enormous amount of moving pieces to manage and deal with on a daily basis - much of which happens under the hood and some that only becomes apparent to the patrons that I'm currently working with.It's because of this that I have always aimed to be as clear and transparent about my workload as possible, by offering a view into my calendars, workflow boards and monthly updates about what's going on.Below you will find links to all the places where you can catch up on the status of all pending, upcoming and completed work, as well as contact details should you want to enquire directly about a particular topic:
Patreon updates
The safest way to keep on top of what's going on each month is through my monthly newsletter, which is usually uploaded to Patreon in the first two weeks of the month and highlights key information such as reward availability, limited tier openings and the status of things at the other end of the screen.Discord community
Our Discord server, the Artroom, offers the quickest way to hear about any new developments, often days or weeks ahead of appearing on the official timeline.Onyrica: Reward queue
A list of all the rewards currently booked on StarStickers, organised by what's coming up, what I'm working on, what has been put on hold, what has switched over to Iruno's queue and and what has been completed. This board is updated manually and there may sometimes be delays when adding recently booked or completed rewards.Onyrica: Workflow board
A more general view into all the other work, outside of rewards, that is going on at the same time - including commissions, contract work and administrative tasks. This board is also updated manually and might not always be up to date.Onyrica: Mentorship calendar
For students in the Mentor tier or with a booked Mentorship token, this calendar offers a view of each month's bookable slots, as well as what days I'm unavailable for work or personal reasons.
As of 2026, Iruno joined the Patreon as a second full time artist, with her own queues and workflows. These will be shared on this page in due time.Also as of this year, we were both handed the unfortunate news that our mother had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and so, while we continue doing our best to keep up with our work and communication, we apologise for any delays and/or service interruptions, and thank you for your patience and understanding during this very complicated challenge.
