Future Patreon Pay-Per-Posts Campaign (Patreon)

So I've thought more on what the specifics are going to be for my Patreon in the near future. It's my hope that this works out, both in how I'm able to handle it and how many people are interested. The post is lengthy, but at the very least I urge people to read the parts in bold print.

What I want my Patreon to be modeled as is a funding platform for my comics and image packs (think of it as a mini-kickstarter). Paid posts will be super early finished pictures/pages of my upcoming comic/image pack that I will be putting up on my online store. Once the item is finished, patrons will receive a copy via dropbox link.  Also, pay-per-post has the option of free posts, patrons will also gain access to WIPs (store items will be via dropbox link) and early access to public works (stuff I post on my DA, Tumblr, etc). To me, this method is more set in stone than a monthly campaign and allows me to better set my own schedule instead of falling behind on rewards. 

I will do four posts per month and, depending on whether I'm working on a comic or an image pack at the time, each post will have 3 pages or 4 pictures.

It took a minute for me to figure out what to do for reward tiers without going too far out of my way and leaving me backlogged. Right now, the only project I have that I can, and would want, fan input is my Lusty Lamp series. I'll go more into detail later, but the idea is to have patrons suggest and vote on characters to appear in the next pack via voting poll.

And now for the pledge tier levels:

$0.50 tier

-Thank you! Every bit helps!

$1.25 tier

-Early access to public works.

-Access to WIPs.

-A copy of the completed version of my next store item once it's finished (must have paid for at least 4 posts).

-Able to vote for characters to appear in the next Lusty Lamp pack.

$2.50 tier

-All the rewards of previous tiers.

-A copy of the completed version of my next store item once it's finished (must have paid for at least 2 posts).

-Able to vote and suggest characters to appear in the next Lusty Lamp pack (Only characters from games, anime, cartoons, etc. One suggestion per patron. Patrons can switch suggestions as they please before the voting begins). 

$5 tier

-All the rewards of previous tiers.

-A copy of the completed version of my next store item once it's finished.

-Able to vote and suggest characters to appear in the next Lusty Lamp pack that will count for two voting polls, one for all tiers and one for the $5 tier and above. (Can be characters from games, anime, or cartoon, etc, as well as original characters. OC's must have references. One suggestion per patron. Patrons can switch suggestions as they please before the voting begins). 

$10 tier

-All the rewards of previous tiers.

-Able to vote and suggest characters to appear in the next Lusty Lamp pack that will count for two voting polls, one for all tiers and one for the $5 tier and above. (Can be characters from games, anime, or cartoon, etc, as well as original characters. Two suggestions per patron. OC's must have references. Patrons can switch suggestions as they please before the voting begins).

-I will choose at least one patron's suggested character from this tier for the next Lusty Lamp pack.

-Name will be on a special "Thank You" page in each of my store items. 

This is what I've currently decided for my pledge tiers. I might also consider something along the lines of request streams, but that's still up in the air at the moment. 

I want to take a minute to explain what my intention is with the Lusty Lamp. The setting is an inter-dimensional resort that focuses on a lot of transformation and growth themes that I want to become increasingly sexual as I progress more through the resort. My current goal is to explore the entirety of the resort through image packs. The format in which I intend to do this is to have a few pictures with one or two characters explaining how a feature of the resort works, followed by a couple more example pictures with different characters (most of which will be picked by patrons). I'm not completely certain how many characters I'll be asking for each pack, but at the very least it will be two from the first voting poll ($1.25 and above), one from the second voting poll ($5 and above) and one character that I'll randomly pick from the $10 tier. If I need more characters than that, I'll usually say so before the start of a poll. Also, while most of the characters I draw will usually be female, sometimes I'll ask for male suggestions if I need them.  

So that's my intention as far as where to proceed with my art right now. I'm satisfied with what I've thought up, but I wanted to announce what I intend to do from now on to give people some time to think about it. I won't be implementing this change until the next two store releases after the one due this coming Saturday, June 25th (most likely gonna have it be part of the Snapzine series, so let's say the fourth issue).  

That's pretty much it for now. I don't think it's too confusing, but if you have any questions or comments, please let me know. 

That's all for now!
