Restructuring the Patreon (Patreon)

After looking at the way Patreon works, I think it's time to restructure to something that's more rewarding to you the patrons. I'm going to revamp the pledge options to give you guys the most bang for your buck. So let me ask you guys, How do you feel about the following offerings? -Monthly Raffle: People donate a certain amount and I pic a winner and give them a 1-2 character pic -Tutorials: "How I draw Boobs, Butts, Anatomy, et cetera." -Hires downloads -Streams for my monthly projects: Every so often I come up with a monthly project where i do a majority of art based on a certain subject. You may remember a while back i did the "Fantastic Females of February," This is one such project. With this option I will prepare the art and then do streams to all who support. Which brings me on to my next point -A new Goal: During the last stream I asked if people would like to see creating the art live, it guess the proper term would be, "live-sketching" where You'll be able to watch my hands actually draw a brand new piece on paper, from scratch as opposed to the normal digital drawing I usually do. Everyone that was there liked the idea, so I looked into it and apparently it's not as expensive as I once thought. (They usually run about $100 for a good one) and Mini tripods aren't expensive either. But I digress. Would you guys like to see that become a reality? Please give me feedback, I want to make sure this works as best as it can. If the general response is positive, I'll make the necessary changes and it will take effect March 1st. if not then I'll continue as I was. if you have questions do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for your time and support, it means the world to me.

Unusual Unity

Okay, let's see now... -Monthly Raffle: People donate a certain amount and I pic a winner and give them a 1-2 character pic Hmm. Is this an offering of picture you've already made, or one that you create at the time of the raffle, or is it like a commission where the winner asks you to create something? That would be good to know. I would also suggest that the number of people you have in the raffle (and thus the number of people supporting you) should dictate the final quality of the picture you create (sketch, line art, flat shade, etc). -Tutorials: "How I draw Boobs, Butts, Anatomy, et cetera." Anatomy is always a tricky beast to wrestle with. Some patrons may be interested in the techniques you use, but I don't know if all of them will. -Hi-Res downloads Always nice to have access to. -Streams for my monthly projects: Every so often I come up with a monthly project where i do a majority of art based on a certain subject. You may remember a while back i did the "Fantastic Females of February," This is one such project. With this option I will prepare the art and then do streams to all who support. As long as you don't start to feel "fenced in" by restricting yourself this way, this could be good. -A new Goal: During the last stream I asked if people would like to see creating the art live, it guess the proper term would be, "live-sketching" where You'll be able to watch my hands actually draw a brand new piece on paper, from scratch as opposed to the normal digital drawing I usually do. Everyone that was there liked the idea, so I looked into it and apparently it's not as expensive as I once thought. (They usually run about $100 for a good one) and Mini tripods aren't expensive either. But I digress. Would you guys like to see that become a reality? Hmm. OK some thoughts. Is this kind of hardware something you've needed and wanted but not had the money or opportunity to invest in before? Does having that kind of equipment aid you in your long-term plans as an artist? If the "live-sketching" patreon stream falls through, do you still have a use for that equipment? If the answer to all these questions is yes, then I'm all for this idea. But if not, that money might be better spent elsewhere (like a nicer place to live).

on the Monthly Raffle the winner can get their character(s) or mine sketched, cleaned up, and colored in one full stream. It's basically a commission(a $60-$65 at an extreme discount). Commission rules still apply of course I haven't decided how much the entries will cost yet. on the subject of "Monthly Projects" I'll still do other art. it's just a majority will be for the project. Like for instance, I'm currently doing the "Fantastic Females of February" Some streams will features the art for this project, but for others I may do some stuff for Room 351, or new art to spruce up the Patreon Page, etc. So there's no danger of getting burned out, or at least it's has a lesser chance. While I do intend on using the Camera for streaming new sketches, if by any chance the live sketching streams fall through, and people don't like them, I can still use said equipment to make "How to draw" vids to post on Patreon or Youtube. The webcam does have plenty of other uses. So it all works out. I hope this clears things up

It sounds like you've already got a solid plan laid down Neme. I think the raffle idea will work pretty well, but I have to ask, how will you deal with the same winner (same person) picked twice in a row? It might not happen a lot, but it's a possibility. Definitely interested in the high resolution downloads and tutorials, I'd appreciate all the tips and techniques on how you approach anatomy and such. Like Yosh said below, theme of the month is definitely a crowd drawer for you and you should allow yourself to draw what you want and wish to see in the set during those themes and sets. I think that the investment on the live-sketching idea might pay off well, since you wanted to have variances on your stream sessions with either hand drawing or utilizing SAI and your tablet. It'd be a good way to show how you approach things in different mediums. I guess a generalized question would be what do you have in mind for the different pledge tiers? Other than that, glad to be of help and support to you on here, DeviantART, and FurAffinity and I look forward to your next stream session with anticipation c:
