Open Feedback Poll/Survey on Possible New Rewards
🕑 Added 2023-06-11 20:57:33 +0000 UTCA couple of days ago I made a big post about my current workload and some long-term plans. Tldr for that: I'm looking to experiment and diversify with new types of content that I think yall will love, and will be doing my best to reward your ongoing support in a way that fits into my currently really busy life haha
I did a rundown of some potential new rewards that would be relevant to these newer developments, so I'm opening this open poll as a means for yall to give feedback as to what interests you and maybe why. You can vote for multiple of these, and there's no time limit, I'm just looking to read the room for what yall fancy and will be strongly taking into account the consensus -- your support means so incredibly much and I want to prioritize giving you the best content that I can provide.
Recapping a few things that I'm almost certainly going to do:
- New $5 reward for early access to "Friends on Another Side" pages (at least a month's worth ahead of the public!). Right now I can only guarantee 1 page a week, trying to load in a long-term goal where if I get above $1k or so, I can do two pages!
- Toning down the size of Monthly Patreon Poll projects. I LOVE doing participation-based stuff but I'm gonna be returning things to being shorter TGTF sequences instead of full-blown comics as it's diminishing my ability to work on other priorities, including "Friends on Another Side". I still want to involve some level of participation and exclusive content, leading me to below...
- More animations! I wanna diversify my content and am excited by the possibility of branching into more videos, wanna find more opportunities to do stuff like it when I can. One possibility is making a long-term goal of adapting "Friends on Another Side" or maybe even other past works into animatic-style motion comics? I do have the assets, so maybe...?
Summarizing a few new ideas I'm considering trying out and seeing if yall are interested!
- New reward for even earlier access for comics as they're being made! Coloring takes a lotta time, maybe let those who wanna see how the stories unfold early with plain linework and text? Probably somewhere only slightly above the $5 reward, like maybe $6-7 at the most?
- Shared reward for early access for animation assets as they're being made! Similar to above, I can provide previews of individual cells, backgrounds, maybe music and SFX, and other raw assets I use and stitch together for the animation process. Again, probably only charging $6-7 at the max.
- New reward for monthly general character sketch requests! Considering a Twokinds-type model; every month, folks can submit random ideas for one-frame sketches of characters (could be TG, could be just general fanart or OC art), I pick my favorites and sketch out a handful of em uncolored, adding a further vote to determine which should be "completed" with proper colors and backgrounds! Thinking somewhere around $15-ish? Just because there is a bit of a lottery system involved as I can't get through everyone's ideas; lemme know your thoughts on it!
- Shared reward for art streams! This is kind of just a long-shot suggestion as I've never done streaming before but I thought it could be fun! Just might be a good opportunity to do the live character sketches, or just other general artwork lol, probably tied to a preexisting "early-access" tier, about $5. Lemme know if I should give it further thought or nah!
If you have any other further ideas for content or rewards to suggest to me that you also wanna see me possibly try out, lemme know in the replies! All of what I do here is possible thanks to your generosity and support, and would very much like to hear what you have to say! :D

uh random suggestion but if you end up doing art streams it’d be nice if you uploaded the stream vods somewhere after the streams finish so that anyone who wasn’t in the right time zone for watching them live could still see them and stuff, though I’ve no clue on how difficult or inconvenient that might be to do so feel free to ignore this suggestion.

Only do the Monthly Character Sketches if you're 100% sure about them. You don't want to add more work for yourself again while you're trying to ease up on it.
