Changes to Patreon set up (IMPT ESP. 15+USD PATRONS)
🕑 Added 2019-03-22 17:55:53 +0000 UTCHey guys hows it been? The anniversary for this patreon is coming up in July, and I felt to spill my thoughts on how I want it move forward. Pardon if it's a lot, but I rarely post these things so there's a ton of stuff I haven't really discussed that i really wanted to do so. A tl;dr will be also put below, but I'd like to word things out because laconic descriptions tend to sound less sincere for me. Most major change for 15+USD patrons are in bold.
--------------------------------------------------
First of all, I'd like to maintain the sketch books. I'll be including a txt file of what you can actually do with them beyond getting access. You actually request timelapse (for procreate ipad art) and sketch thoughts on the pieces if you're tiers 5+ USD. You can also ask for alt versions of pieces like for wallpaper regardless of tier.
For process videos, I'd stick with just procreate timelapses for now. One video will be made public per month, and I'll promise minimum 3 videos. 5+ USD patrons can also ask about specifics in a particular segment or general conceit of the piece.
Comics, I'll do my best to make more projects. I am working up material for A Moment of Paws: TRES RELIEF! which I am to finish by June. Please look forward to it! :) You'll get advance access to strips a year before I make it freely visible online.
* A Moment of Paws: DOS FUR DOS! will only be available for everyone NOV 2019, and Dice Guys! will be on FEB 2020. This might change depending on patronage in the future but this is my preference right now. Improve patronage might shorten this, as I love how people like Balmos are able to release their work for free very liberally.)
The biggest change I'll be doing is for the 15 and 25 usd tiers. I'll be retiring the 15 usd reward listed in the tiers list but I'll maintain supplying you the same reward as if its still listed. This'll apply by May.
Though, the sketch page reward will be tweaked to be shared among patrons. This means I'll draw minimum of one full body of your character into an A4 600dpi sketch page. It'll still be limited to a few people (5 slots on 25+ and everyone on 15+ early bird). The reward I gave away now was mostly an experiment, and I enjoyed working on them, but I'll revert back to my original plans. It'll be officially be part of a higher tier later on. Expect this change as soon as May. Please tell me your thoughts on this!
What I'll be adding is regular streams. And 15+ USD patrons can be entitled to request once while lower tiers can add to a pool I can pick from a few times. This applies even if you are unable to be present on the actual stream. I'd like to work with you guys on a schedule. I'm not sure how to go about it. Maybe once a month for now, starting May.
I'll also try to include a biweekly discussion on art I've drawn. For now I'll aim on redrawing old stuff, and maybe move into my mindset on my studies and writing once I'm more comfortable with it. Eventually I'll allow 15+ USD patron to be able to have a say one what I'll talk about in this segment.
And past that, I do want to know what else you'd like from me! Please go crazy and I'll see if it's workable or not.
-----------------------------------------------------
tl;dr
TWEAKS AND CLARIFICATIONS:
* Digital sketchbooks will txt of requests you can make from the content. (All patrons can ask for wallpaper crops, 5+USD patrons can ask for process and thoughts)
* Every month 1 free process from old rewards. (5+USD patrons can ask for thoughts on segment etc)
* Upcoming comic project "A Moment of Paws: TRES RELIEF!" aimed to be done by June. Advance access guaranteed on all patrons.
* Increased patronage will help me shorten publicity dates of comics. For now it's likely one year from public printing. (Dos Fur Dos in Nov 2019 for example)
* 15 USD tier will be removed on listing but you will still receive your rewards as normal.
STARTS AT MAY:
* Sketchpage reward will now only mean I'll fill up one page w as much as your characters mixed up. At least one of fullbody guaranteed.
* New tier for once-experimental sketchpage reward of 1 character multiple poses will be made. Higher than 25USD. (You can help me decide on a fitting rate if you'd like, or give your thoughts on the change.)
* I'll consider doing streams. I'll make a sketchpool for everyone. Guaranteed to do 15+USD patrons. Once a month.
* Bi-weekly art discussion. Experimental jabs at it starts as soon as I can manage. Free for all, 15+ can ask for topics later on.
QUESTIONS FOR YOU:
* What else do you want me to offer? (I'm refraining from more rewards that involve drawing more though, but open to ideas like polling prompts.)
* What time zone are you? What's a comfortable time for you to watch a stream?
Finally:
Thank you for supporting me so fare. I'd love to engage more with you guys, all the while maintaining the focus that this patreon will push me to do more studies and comics. Again, thanks for the support so far!
