Patreon Questions,
9 years ago
Hey!
I have a couple questions, first of all, who here actually currently supports someone via patreon, how do you like the service and how many people do you support?
Second, I've been thinking about reopening my Patreon, but with a new concept. I was wanting to do one with comics, and allow patrons to see higher resolution images and vote on various topics, like what kinds of topics to cover/ what comics to make next/ just random directions to take etc. This one would be per comic page rather than monthly, giving me a bit more flexibility on the release schedule. (I am thinking this would be $10 monthly)
My last Patreon, the sketch blog had a real lackluster turnout, at it's peek I had 2 patrons lol. So I am curious if anyone would be interested in supporting me this way?

Making an art Patreon seems tricky, because you have to offer people things worth while, but you don't want to anger too many people with a lot of exclusive content. I've seen this manifest for some as offering high res files and some alternate versions of pictures (alt genders or exclusive NSFW versions). I think some offer tutorials or videos of the drawing process as well.
Discounts on commissions for high tiers or raffles for free art may also bring in some attention.
High res version are a pretty solid thing for comics. I offer my pages up to a week early for patrons - they get them basically as soon as they're done, which is considerably early than their scheduled public posting.
