It's come to my attention that at least one person was getting some fan grief for using their Patreon sketch commission slot to auction and resell and do whatever to either mitigate the price or make a profit.

I have no problem with this.


As long as my business relationship on this end remains simple and meets my terms for the pledge, I'm fine. As long as I get the information without complications and issues, in a timely manner, I don't care about the process on the pledge holder's end. People doing this doesn't change my obligation, work load, or income.


This may put an end to people who want to create a fuss over nothing. Thanks!

As long as it doesn't make the commission slots go away, I'm fine with it.

So, as a dumb question, was the person (random name: Longfellow) doing this: pay $50/month, get sketch (or wait 2 months for $100), sell picture as their own work (or "official Jay Naylor content"); or: pay $50/month (or $100/2 months for color pic), run auction of "You describe, Jay draws, I give to you!"? I would think that, while "Longfellow's" character would be theirs, the pic would belong to Jay, unless it's done as a "I'm commissioning you to draw this so I can sell it" situation.

I don't care if someone sells space in their commission to another person. But the work has to be credited to me and I don't think that's an issue.

This is why I love you, Naylor... No homo tho

It's good of you to address this. At least now, the complainers should understand your position and accept it. If they don't, at least your position is crystal clear to them. Personally, if I was in the $50.00 tier and I commissioned one of your drawings, I'd keep it so I could show it off to everyone; but, that's me.

Things like this are why I sleep on the floor and think heating my beans up before eating them counts as gourmet... I'd never have thought of doing this. Genius! :D

I think the complainer probably figured that other patron users don't allow it and they'd use it to start a fuss here.

So as long as you get credit and the $50 you don't care if someone is selling the commission spot on the side for more? Does that sum it up?

I don't know Jay... isn't that kinda using you and ripping you off at the same time? They can essentially buy a good chunk of the slots and jack the prices up, discouraging those who really do want your commission pics. It might discourage them to the point of not bothering to grab a commission slot.

Explain how I'm losing money. Commission slots can only be held by one person at a time so you can't buy a "chunk" of slots.

Where it becomes frustrating is for all those on a waitlist to try and get those limited commission slots from you and somebody is just holding onto it and rather getting art for themselves or friends is selling it off.

Why exactly are only 10 people allowed to have the 50 slot? Why not more like 50 or even more?

jaynaylor

Because I only have time to reliably do 10 per month without it preventing me from doing everything else I have to do.

I know I've been waiting 2 years to try for it, but nobody gives up that pledge slot lol
