UPDATE and input needed?
8 years ago
General
In the wake of not taking on more standard commissions I’m trying to get my Patreon (that I’ve had for ages but have hardly been able to really use) off the ground. Ultimately I would like to be able to get more regular income out of that and therefore not feel the need to bog myself down with too many commissions at once, especially since my time is more limited now and I would like to have the chance to work on things that would serve a broader purpose and audience.
However I am not sure what people would like to see, as far as rewards/incentives go.
I’m open to suggestions while I brainstorm on the matter, and in the meantime I’ve updated my page info with links to my Patreon and a more general Paypal.me link for anyone who wants to contribute but doesn’t necessarily want to “subscribe” or whatever.
I’m trying to make my art a more viable investment of my time and energy, and in doing so I hope to make higher-quality things overall, which I will enjoy making and hopefully you the audience will enjoy seeing more.

~Hi-res art packs
~early access to work in progress
~Once a month hold a raffle with patreon supporters and offer a free commission.
~Maybe hold a vote for supporters on what you should draw next?
Remember, it's not just rewards that make people want to be patreons, but the idea they may have some form of input on what is produced gives them some incentive to finance.
