Recently my Patreon income has significantly dropped, so I really need some new supporters. I might even open a commission but it is not decided yet.
Also, if you have any ideas about the Patreon reward, leave in the comments below! I've only been doing character requests for $20 supporters, but it seems like it's not attracting new supporters that much.

Regarding ideas for Patreon:
1) member-only discord access for space to chat with the artist, maybe offer monthly history lesson with Professor Willy when you or patrons pick a topic and schedule a time everyone can be live and you chat with members about X society.
2) member-only monthly art poll; artist lists 3 or 4 ideas they want to draw but members vote to choose which one, then artist shares final piece publicly.
3) exclusive, priority luxury commission slot; only 1-2-3 per year and very high price but could be good for comics or fully-rendered pieces with complex backgrounds.
4) merchandise - this might be more challenging since you're not in the US, but light-weight products such as stickers ( maybe showcasing historical flags held by a furry soldier or model ) or limited edition Willy face enamel pins could keep shipping costs low.
5) telegram / discord sticker sets - posting one-time purchase options like telegram or discord sticker packs based on various historical periods or cultures or fursona species could be appealing to fans who cant commit to a monthly subscription (fyi, kofi might also be an alternate option for this support format, but im not sure if its supported in SK).
6) zines - i saw a 5 page comic/zine once where a guy explained the basics of hangul; you could release a multi-page publication on various languages or historical societies, either as a repeating subscription release or as a one-time purchase (i for one would LOVE a short comic where i could learn hangul with Gim Impyeong ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ท ).
7) youtube series - this would be a big project and harder to monetize but a series of roughly 5-minute summary of various figures, places, events, or artifacts based around a theme could help bring both history and furry to a wider audience; the editing would be a big obstacle but even without animation if there is beautiful art and license-free music (and i would be honored to record and provide English narration ๐) then it can still be entertaining, like the 'extra history' channel on youtube. [end list]
wow I'm sorry this got so long but i hope some of it might help inspire you, and i hope you take care in this summer heat ๐ฆ๐ง๐
