Please note that the following is purely hypothetical. I'm only doing some calculations on what might or might not be feasible in the future. Thanks for taking the time to pitch in your input!

I've been doing some re-thinking on where I might want to take my Patreon in future. I did mention before that this will likely never become a full-time job for me, and that'll still hold true, but as part of my recent life improvement endeavors, I've come upon the hard truth that despite my full-time job paying pretty well, I honestly don't like the job. I don't hate it either, but it's just not as fulfilling these days anymore. Thus, I've started to consider other options, such as trying to do art full-time. This wouldn't mean all my time would be spent doing hentai art, but I'd definitely be doing more of it, alongside other freelance stuff like non-hentai art, and maybe web design and such. The big question is, would it make enough money to bring food to the table, so to speak. I need data on how my Patreon earnings might be affected.

So, let's presume that moving on to doing art full-time would increase my hentai art output to about 4 finished works a month, minimum. Rewards like alternate editions, exclusive works or higher resolution editions would happen slightly more often too. And all this depends on how much money I'd make on Patreon. 

How much more would you be willing to spend on my Patreon, on a regular basis, to help sustain that level of art production?

(The poll options cover both 'per work' pledge amount and increases in monthly maximum, for those that have the maximum set. However, please don't vote on a monthly max increase unless you'd easily meet your set maximum with the ratio of 4 works. If you'd increase your maximum but never meet that maximum anyways, it's not very useful data.)

I do really like the intensity of your work, so more regular content would be a treat

Thanks! I'm sure most people here would like to see more works from me more often. And I'd like to provide that too, but it's not possible unless I drop my full-time job, and that's a big risk to take. This poll should provide me valuable data on whether the risk might be worth it some day in the future. :)

Totally understandable

I'm not a fan of the per piece pledges so if you decided to do a fixed number of pieces per month I'd prefer a monthly rate. Since the pieces are so spread out at the moment the per piece method works also I feel the per piece is less stressful on the artist as they do not have the same pressure to produce quantity and may be able to focus on quality on some pieces.

Valid points, and definitely a change I'd be willing to consider. If it makes it easier to vote in the poll with that in mind, vote as if I'd be doing exactly 4 works a month.
