... I'd fund you.

do you have any other inputs? like for 'rewards' for reaching X per submission? that's one of the things I'd need most input on, as I'm not sure what people would want in return, if anything.

I guess maybe like a random gift art for the higher donors to you might be something.

uh. that isn't how patreon works at all.

you don't pay to view it, you simply say 'for every piece you make, I will give you X money' it's voluntary, and it's a way to support an artist you like.

People who do not give money will see exactly zero changes to my current output (except for any of the bonus junk I'm trying to figure out. if I reduce commisson prices due to patreon money being high enough, they will benefit from that too)

This opinion comes from people using patreon as a paywall.

I really have no plans or reason to do this. all that would do is kill off my viewer base, which isn't even very big to begin with.

Yup. Many people don't seem to understand that.

made an edit to clarify

I didn't mis understand you. I was referencing the people who do it because they think it gives them a lot more monies.

I know, but some others might D: so I'd rather not have people just ignore it on account of that thought.

Ah, yeah, I get that. :D

Individal Rewards:

$1.25/week +: One request a month.

$2.50/week +: Two small requests/one medium request each month as well as a small feature on some sort of donator wall as well as a 10% discount to commissions.

$3.75/week +: Three small requests/one medium + one small request each month as well as a decent feature on some sort of donator wall + a pic of their choice with it and a 15% commission discount.

$5.00/week +: Anywhere to 4 small requests to a full-fledged commission each month as well as a featured donator on a donator wall of some sort with two pics of their choice + 25% commission discount.



Group Rewards:

$20.00/week combined: Open up streams at least once a week to show commissions.

$25.00/week combined: Add onto the stream for a possible free request and (maybe?) a second streaming day out of the week.

$32.50/week combined: Same as before, except that second day has a chance to also have a free request.

$40.00/week combined: Again, same deal, only add another day for streaming a week with free request chance.

$50.00/week combined: Better odds of free requests per streaming day and a third streaming day a week.

$75.00/week combined: Guaranteed free requests per stream day - most likely three per stream?



This is just a small little thing I came up with. Do with it as you wish~ C:

okay, the main issue with this is that with patreon I intend on not forcing to pay based on time, so that I won't just get lazy. I plan on having payments be done per fully colored picture I complete.

also, the individual rewards giving requests per month might be a good idea, I'm just a little worried what would happen if a lot of people gave that much, and I'd be doing like 100 sketches a month. while it would keep me drawing, it'd take my focus away from doing coloring and put it more on trying to keep up with all of the requests. (not to mention if several people went for the highest amount you posted there) I'd have to find some sort of balance there

the streaming info mostly sounds good, I'm just unsure of how much to make each 'tier' at. it's something I can use to start off, though I'd have to mess with values a bit before I figure out what exactly to do with it.

I'd do a Patreon but honestly, I'm not really good enough at anything for that...lol

that is exactly zero input

To be honest, I'm still a little nervous when it comes to patreon, but I'm sure there are furries that would be willing to fund you. Heck, depending on the donation levels, I may even be willing to.

Also, random idea for a patreon prize is a yiffdump or two based around a theme someone gives you. You would have free reign over the picture and anything drawn, but going off a certain theme

one of the reasons I'm doing this is to try and motivate myself to color more pictures, so I'm trying to avoid giving out just more sketches, because I already make a ton of those.

not saying I won't be making more, I just want to do more coloring in general, and I rarely feel the urge to do so on my own.

Away. Is that why you're including the discounts on commissions so you get more colored commissions instead of sketches?

yes, plus I know a lot of people have said it's either too expensive, or they just don't have a lot of money, and I'd like for it to be more accessable to more people
