Been thinking about removing the $40 restriction on requests. (Read the front page orange text) And allowing all tiers to make requests. (With the exception of the $60 and $150 tiers)
Largely because i'd want to want to do more for those who even want to support what I do. (Even tho it's messy and inconsistant at times)
I'm personally a bit skepitical on the idea.
Largely because, I DO want to do something nice and give back for everybit of support I've been given up to now in my own little way. But I kinda don't want to turn the patreon into a place you come to really just.. make a request/get cheap art and that's it. (I don't mind it too much. But it is a tad discouraging as an artist who's trying to find his muse and keep folks interested enough to ride along.)
Doesn't feel geniune. Just feels like robotic business that i've forever grown tired of.
I want to explore and hopefully find/meet like minded inviduals on the way.
Originally, the idea was a place to be more talktive, shares ideas and even listen to ideas you guys had. (Regarding my work or even your own stuff) That's what I wanted the patreon to be.
I dunnoe, Kinda wanted to make my own little corner outside all the communities like tumblr/FA where i could just talk, draw and share. (Art-Related or not)
It's somewhat lost that bit of flare/ambition to go down that road. But i'm seriosly wishing to try again, being a proactive with you all and my work. More posts, more streams and speaking up more on my end. Hopefully leading in a far more positive 2017 experience then 2016 was.
Anyway. Excuse my rambling. Outside of that. What do you guys think about this? (This post has been made public. So both Patrons and even non-patrons can weigh in if they choose to.)
