As far as rewards... hmmmm....
What's your price point on sketches/drawings? Use those as 'get a free monthly sketch/drawing', and basically they're pre-paying for the art. You get the money, they get the art, win/win.
Other options for Patreons of any stripe can include:
* Exclusive tag/flag in streams
* Exclusive title and perhaps exclusive room in Discord channel
* Being listed in your FA/Inkbunny/Wherever else profile as a 'Patreon Supporter'.
These cost little to nothing to you, and help Patreons feel they are getting their money's worth, by being recognized as such.
Maybe Patreons at $50 level can get arts with their character and one of your characters (subject to your approval), explicit or not, in full color or something. 'pimp out Mido', I guess you could call it.
* Maybe pick a Patreon at x level or above randomly to do a possibly explicit art for, subject to your 'no I won't draw this' list? So even if you haven't donated at the $50 level, there's at least a chance if you are at, say, the $10/month level, that you *might* get picked for it. Stipulate that once picked, you become ineligible for another explicit art drawing for six months so RNG doesn't make people think you are stacking the deck (but if you go up to the $50/month level, you're guaranteed to get one anyway... hint hint).
* At $50 or $100/month total, commit to once a week streaming on a schedule so more people can reliably catch your arts. Call it 'Will Art For Food!'.
* Calculate how much money you'd need to bring in from Patreon to pay your bills, after figuring Patreon's cut and the fees. As a goal, if you hit this much, commit to three times a week art streams. Which makes the lower end Patreon rewards (exclusive tag/flag in streams) more rewarding, because they happen more often. And being on a schedule, you might get more new viewers, people who have at least hit your profile and thus know your streaming schedule.
* Calculate how much money you'd need to bring in from Patreon to live comfortably without a job, extend previous goal's reward to five times a week streams, with option for holidays off. In effect, your art becomes your job. Call it 'Mido tells Corporate America to Eff Off!' or maybe 'The (almost) Daily Bump n Grind!'.
