Heart-Conqueror Stream Changes
🕑 Added 2020-08-25 20:27:40 +0000 UTCHey all! After having a very productive discussion with patrons yesterday I got some suggestions for much needed changes to how the streams and commissions work.
One suggestion was to limit patron stream commissions to Pin-up style. By doing so, it would help free up time for me to open additional general commission slots for me to do the more complicated scenes and multiple characters that people are looking for. In this case I would be looking at weekly Heart-Conqueor streams for Pin-up styles and about 3 slots for general commissions per month (at least two of which would be locked for Heart-Conqueror patrons).
The other idea I've been considering is charging extra for the second characters in the stream commissions. So far I've been charging the same flat rate for every piece but lately there's been a lot of desire for full second characters which pretty much doubles the work and time it takes to finish a piece which pushes back other projects without any extra compensation. The proposal for this would be that if over 25% of a second character is visible then there would be a variable charge of $50~75 depending on how much is visible and complexity.
At this point I'm personally leaning toward the former option as it would allow me to do even more commissions and work on those more complex scenes at a better pace, which will be especially important for me as the school year picks up. Nevertheless, it's really important to me to know how you all feel about it! If you have any further comments or suggestions please let me know below.

I mean it's not like the stream commissions are free anyway owo; in fact I generally charge more lol

Well, I would view it as kind of a gift card but with the condition that you cannot insist of using it whenever you want. But IF you are offering this person a commission slot, they'd be able to use this gift card. That was my idea. I get why you don't really like this idea, though.

I get what you're saying :3 that'd probably be really nice for those patrons but would probably make it very difficult when it comes to my scheduling since I wouldn't be able to predict when people would want a larger piece that I'd have to fit into my plans. The other thing is that when it comes to general commissions I'd want to pick those by hand rather than have them raffled. That way the more complex things I work on are things I'm super passionate about ^-^

I’m pretty sure the stream raffle will stay separate from the general commission queue. That way it lessens any kind of confusion it could cause and it gives the most chances for people that want art to get it.

That way, another person that really wants a pin-up, has a second chance during a stream if the first winner chooses to commission a bigger piece later.

I am kinda fine with both options. If it comes to the limited stream option, would it be possible to maybe use a won slot during a stream either for a pin-up that you will draw in the stream or as a discount for a bigger piece for a commission you draw then on a later date? That would be really awesome!
