Patreon, possibly?
5 years ago
I wish to explore the idea of having a Patreon. The thing is, I have no idea if I could sustain one.
The idea would be that it doesn’t change the way I usually post: every drawing I finish still gets posted here. I was just thinking of high resolution versions, for example. Unfortunately, streaming sessions aren’t something I could do. Progress shots, maybe? I’m a messy artist and my workflow doesn’t follow the neat sketch/inks/flats/shading steps that other artists use, so work files would be a bit tricky.
So I have essentially two questions for y’all:
1) How many would be interested?
2) What would you expect to get?

Oh, and it goes without saying that I'd definitely be interested! :3
But for myself I am constantly asking myself the question “would people tip me to post art? And why? Am I actually doing a service that I myself and others can enjoy?”
Look at patreon users who are successful and learn from them and see what works for you. I am still trying to find out what works for me. For myself, I would probably end up doing some sort of soft kick starter or crowdfunding for projects that get people excited and find value in, but that’s just me,
