Hmm Ive heard a few people have had success with it. Perhaps give it a shot.
If you need me to commission ya, Ill be glad to do so :)

Sounds like a good aidea.

BTW, you are my 1000th journal notification I just received.

Talk about lucky.

Give it a shot but DONT make it a paywall for your art. It sucks.

uhm...can you explain me that paywall thing, please?

tl;dr: SexyFur

i think i got it, nevermind

As long as you don't make it a paywall and can come up with some good incentives for people to pledge...

I always upload a resized version of my pieces here and on other sites...i'll probably do the same thing with a Patreon, you'll only have to pay if you want a high res/full sized pic. I think that's fair.

"i'll probably do the same thing with a Patreon, you'll only have to pay if you want a high res/full sized pic. I think that's fair."
Yes, it's fair and good way to use Patreon, many artists do it.

Some artists keep it a timed exclusive. A month, two or maybe three. That way patrons get to see the good stuff and by the time it is released to the public, it won't be as 'relevant' if you take my meaning.

^ This! The only thing I could ever see myself starting a Patreon for is general artwork and to help other people learn. I don't see myself ever stopping with furry art, but I don't see it being the only kind of art I ever work on. I cant really show a bunch of furry porn in a portfolio for a job >.>

Yes, i'm sure that i'll still be drawing furry art for a long time, that being porn or clean. But i still a bit unsure about Patreon.


I think it's better start doing YCHs, looks more confortable to me atm

Thanks for the suggestion tho

It's probably worth mentioning that you don't have to do art as a career if you set up a Patreon. In fact trying to do so can lead to the multiple traps that make some Patreon artist hated despite how good their work is.

that ych is going t max out and Ill tyr your patreon

As long as you don't treat it as a way of forcing people to pay for "NSFW DLC" or something like that, I'm sure you'll do fine.

Because honestly, I'm not that greedy to see some 18+ content. So I see no point in paying a few dollars just to see sexy artwork.

Which reinforces the "NSFW DLC" point of view if saying NSFW DLC makes any sort of sense.

I'd rather you don't, but that's due to my own distaste for how many artists use and advertise their Patreon as a way to exploit their fans.

to patreon total playpay not wait.....

I'd love to have access to high-rez files and .psds in exchange for a small monthly donation.

I love seeing the SD versions of your art here on FA, but buying a big HD file would be a great way to support you without breaking the bank.

Patreon: If you try it... the one thing I've seen people seem to "screw up" in terms of having it help...

They commit to doing an AWFUL lot for their patrons... on top of the stuff they're doing already - so the net time gain is either zero or negative.

TL;DR: don't over-commit.

Patreon requires dedication and planning. You will need to make content for it per month and on a reasonable level. After all people are "subscribed" to you for content as a business then and expect some things per month to suit the pledge levels. If a business cannot deliver, they are donating instead and getting nothing back and for some that can be a problem.

If you plan to do this, as others said do not paywall. Unless you want your art stolen, edited and posted all over web, then a paywall ensures that it will happen always. Paywalling can and will also generate a grand deal of disdain hatred given how common this has became as a form of fanbase money extortion. If you want to make art packs though and put them for Patreon that is fine. But once you do this, you should release a unaltered version of pack to public after at most four weeks. This way you are not paywalling and Patreon users are paying for early access (hate using this phrase). Everyone in end should be happy about that and your non Patreon fanbase will show due respect.

High Res and PSD source files are a good thing to have, at a higher set pledge level. However the re-sized unaltered versions for public, please for love of sanity make a reasonable size of at least minimum 1k by 1k. We are in the age of 1440p to 4k resolution monitors. It also will look nicer to possible new patreon pledger(s) as they could actually see details and likely could want the large res version or even source if they want to make a personal private edit.

Patreon exclusive YCHs and raffles are something wise. Though figuring out pledge levels and rewards is something you will need to spend time on. Then keeping up with these monthly is vital, don't overload yourself. I've seen far too many artists lately become overloaded as they took more in than they can handle.

Oh and one last thing. For sanity sake if plan to do Patreon, refrain from throwing a huge ass Patreon logo on everything like some insist on doing for who knows why, it ruins art. Small tiny corner logo and URL is fine like you currently do.

Should be noted the above is general view and my own personal opinions or view points. My only direct plea is the logo issue.

Id say go for it, an amazing artist like yourself should get paid for doing what you love to do.
