Patreon survey I guess!
11 months ago
Other than commissions/request rewards (I tried multiple times and couldn't deal with it healthily (I would burn myself out)), what would interest you in joining someone's Patreon (or other similar platforms)?
I want to be able to create more personal illustrations and comics, but I can't currently afford it without it taking over my free time, or leaving me without spending money. What I get from Patreon helps cover the cost of my website hosting and some of the non-drawing time spent on work-related stuff (i.e: posting/promoting on social media)
I don't know what people are expecting from that kind of platform nowadays, so I'm asking around to see what people think!
PS: I am NOT looking for people being butthurt at "paywalling". I rarely create anything that isn't available to look at for free, and I do not intend to stop creating free-to-view art altogether.

I would have to make it a yes or no option for progress pics being posted, but I've had a few people mention it, so I'll look into it.
And early access is such an obvious one I don't know why I didn't think about it!
Thanks for your input!
