Monthly Gaggings and potential Patreon(?)
7 years ago
Heya folks! I have a rather important question that I'd love to ask ya'll about and gauge interest on since a lot of you seem to really dig the gag sequence concept that I do a lot of.
I've had this idea floating around in my head for a while now that could potentially help keep me motivated and consistent with art, and could maybe even lead to me even having my own Patreon if things go well enough.
What I had in mind is a "Gag of the Month" sort of deal, where a character is offered at the beginning of the month to you lovely folks, and for each day of the month, a poll is set up with various gagging options to determine what layer should come next in said character's gagging by popular vote! It'd result in 30 layer gaggings by the end of the month, with months involving 31 days using the extra day to sorta take a breather.
Now I REALLY want ya'll to tell me what you think of this concept below, cause if people like it and a trial run here on FA works out, I'm very curious to see if it can be applied to Patreon. The loose concept I have for Patreon (if this works out) is that folks in the $1 tier can vote on the layerings each day and see each layer as it's uploaded each day, while folks in the $2-$3 tier could get those perks, as well as offering a character at the start of every month to be randomly selected for the month's gagging!
FA folks who don't subscribe to Patreon would see these monthly gaggings at their conclusion on the 30th-31st of each month still, just not the individual busts that are uploaded each day on Patreon and the above mentioned Patreon perks.
Please lemme know if this idea interest you guys, and if you'd be interested in seeing me experiment with it this January! (I'd start with a free version on FA first so no worries about Patreon yet) And for my commissioners, please note this will NOT affect you! Your art's still being worked on all the same!

This IS just a rough concept so kinks in the system would have to be worked out. Drawing one flatcolored bust a day isn't thaaaaat bad, but I caaaan see the voting once per day being inconsistent with folks just not wanting to have to vote eeeeeevery day. It might(?) be better to do the voting one week/ten busts at a time to avoid the daily participation problem with voting, and it gives me more wiggle room in case I can't do one bust for a day due to something coming up and can make it up by doing two in one day or something- just so long as I have the full set done by the next voting period . :'o
That would also allow you to do some drawing early if you want as a buffer, if you other plans for a day, or are going to be away~
