Sooo for this 2023 I'm planning to try out different metods to interact with my audience, the most simple of those is discord of course.
I know I know, everyone got a discord now and for many can be annoying to just jump around server to server and that servers needs mods and need to be active to be actually enjoyable, but I'm sure I can figure it out (mabye even just as a private/semi private to test it out before making it full pubblic).

Now a patreon is a totally different thing for me: no clue how it works whatsoever so I'm looking for more experienced people to guide me with that.
For patreon rewards I think I could just go with sketches, downloadable pdf and photoshop files of my drawings, discarted stuff, secret drawings, all my LAMBboy art for very nostalgic people, sketches preview and updates on future projects hopefully. I would actually like to make patreon rewards, tho I would like to wait until I've finished uni so I can go fulltime hopefully, cuz it's already hard for me to get commissions done, but another thing I could try is patreon suggestions (I know is not much so I will try to keep the tyer low).
Also going back to discord, mabye could also try making it a patreon exclusive, tho still not sure if it's my stuff, but mabye it could help making it a more active server.

If patreon ends up being not my thing ko-fi could do the job for tips and stuff, tho there is something to say:
The all reason why I'm making this journal is less about money, since I'm still far from the perspective of full time, and more about interacting more with follows and explore more fields.
Hate making promises, but will try to do my best sooo the discussion is open atm
