Substantial Patreon Changes
10 years ago
Well, I can at least now say I tried it and didn't like it, rather then wondering why I never tried it.
Anyway, at the end of this month I'm going to make a substantial change to my Patreon page. Firstly, as most of my patrons are watching me on this site, I want to thank all of you for deciding to support me, I'm extremely flattered and grateful for what you've given me. Hopefully you'll understand my reasoning here.
Anyway it's pretty simple really, it was actually something I was afraid would be the case. I'm simply not the kind of artist who draws enough to keep up with the demand of having patrons. My schedule is too weird to reliably do art-streams, which by the way I thank my patrons for being okay with me cutting those out. But while I CAN handle the load of drawings I have to do for my patrons.. I'm not really happy though, as all the time drawing pictures for others is the time I would have used drawing my own projects. I'm sure you guys haven't noticed my gallery going stagnant lately OTHER then drawings related to Patreon. Not to mention, in the next week or two I'm changing jobs and will be working days changing from 6 hours a day to 12 hours a day. So if I'm barely keeping up now, I doubt I'll be able to then! Another thing is that with my Patreon workload I haven't been able to work on commissions either which is a problem.
For this reason I think I'm going to do away with my $10 and up perks, any perks that have art streams and monthly/weekly drawings. I'll keep my Patreon going, but keep it at the low-level end where it's more of a tip jar and just a way for you all to show your support/appreciation. As well as access to WIP pictures that I have no problem posting, and maybe even discounted commission prices.
But I'm still happy, I actually managed to get up to $91 dollars a month and that just blows me away, and I know if I were a different kind of artist that drew 24/7 it'd probably work out better. But that money isn't worth it to me if I'm not going to be able to express myself and drawing my own things anymore, I'm sure you guys understand that as fellow artists. <: T
So we'll finish up this week, I'll give ya'll your semi-commission rewards for this month and then we'll do away with it. Again, I appreciate all your support guys. <: ]
