tl,dr: How can I tempt you to join one/both of my Patreons?! :D It’s okay if I can’t tempt you, I love everyone who’s been here and I always will. :) Comments on my uploads feed the idea machine so if you like somethibg please say so!
I’ve had two Patreons for a long time and the little bit that comes in every month makes a huge difference to me. When you live down to the dollar evety month, every dollar counts.
I’m wondering if there’s a bit more I can offer for current and future patrons. I am always going to post finished work here, never fear! I don’t have the energy to do exclusives and paywalls, but also I don’t want people in my same situation to be denied art they love just for money.
Are there things besides cost that keep you from subscribing? Is there something you’d want that I’m not posting there?
As of now, I post finished art with its sketches and any progress pics I have, along with the full resolution piece. Would folks rather see sketches in progress by themselves?
Would posting old art with commentary be of interest to anyone? I’m not comfortable posting my older art publicly. A lot of it was drawn during difficult times in my life and getting comments/faves would bring up those memories at times when I might not be up for seeing them. Besides that, most of the old stuff just doesn’t represent how I draw anymore and I want people to see what I do now, not what I was doing 15 years ago. Also I have drawn literally thousands of pieces over the years, there’s no way I can post all that again one at a time. XD
I want to make sure casual viewers and fans who can’t afford a monthly pledge still get lots of art, but I also would like to do something for the folks who can pay. All while keeping in mind my own limitations (memory issues, low energy days, bad vision days) which limit how much extra stuff I can really do.
Would folks on the 18+ Patreon like me to put all art there? Would it be fair if I merged my Patreons and created a tier for adult art access? Should I just add more tiers even if I can’t offer anythibg extra in them?
I’m going to ask some of these to my current patrons as well and they’ll get the final word. Let me know what you guys think! Oh also I have a patrons-only Discord everyone who joins gets access to if chatting with a blind hermit appeals to you. :D
