Patreon...
8 years ago
So, I beginning to start up a Patreon; it's not live yet. Now, I love doing direct commissions and I've no real issue with posting stuff for free (been doing it for years) but, if I can make a little extra to pay the bills, I'll give it a try.
However, as a former graphic designer, I don't really look at the Patreon model as a way to make easy money, I look at it as a designer: I serve the clients. With that in mind, here are two thoughts going in.
If I don't feel I can truly serve the patrons at any reward level with regular, quality artwork that they should expect, I'll pull the plug and make what reparations I can.
Secondly, I'm curious to know all your thoughts: IF you were to be a patron, what rewards would you like to see on my page?
For $1, I'm offering the obligatory one-week preview of any works I'll post to FA, DA or Tumblr. I have other ideas for the higher levels but, what would you as potential patrons want to get for your money?
Thanks for helping me out with this.

Hope that info helps you out some
I know a lot of artists reserve high-tier rewards for things like small character commission raffles or fan input on upcoming content. That may be something you might want to look into, I suppose?
