Giving my Patreon a bit of an overhaul (let me know your thoughts!)
🕑 Added 2022-07-10 03:20:24 +0000 UTCHey everyone. First of all, as usual, thank you so much for your support. It means a lot to me, so I want you to be aware I'm very grateful.
The way in which I've been tackling Twitter/Patreon hasn't really changed much over the years and certainly not since I returned here in April. I had the idea of doing a drawing each day of July, just putting a sketch out there each day, but I soon released that on days I don't feel my best it's harder to draw and perhaps I risk not enjoying the process if I'm requiring myself to do it and I risk burnout if I do too much. I'm rather hard on myself and I'm my own biggest critic. At the same time, I realise doing sketches in this manner is causing me to rush and I'm not doing the best I can possibly do. Again, I'm harsh on myself and if I don't like something, I feel it inside.
So, with a friend, I've come up with a new approach which should work.
I want to release 3 types of drawings:
- Work in progress sketch
- Line art version
- Colored version of that drawing
I want these to all be timed exclusive to Patrons, so your donation is paying for access to this content.
On Twitter, I will release cropped versions of the WIPs and colored versions but the full pics will be on Patreon as a timed exclusive. The image will then release on Twitter 2 weeks later, but during that time I'll be working on new exclusives for Patrons.
This will finally be the big push for me to focus on heavily on color, which will be transformative to my work but also hopefully help push me on social media (which is something I'd like). It'll also be better for the image, better for you guys to have something for being a Patron, and be better for my sense of improvement.
Note, I won't be coloring everything I do but I want the *vast majority* to be colored. Color works are more eye catching and would just be better overall for everybody.
I will still be working hard and drawing as much as I can (I try to aim for 5-6 hours per day). But the content should be better overall.

tl;dr I want to give you guys (Patrons) timed exclusive access to my content for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks it'll be released on Twitter. All images I work on, unless they're a scrap or I'm not feeling it, will be colored.
