What's next ? (Patreon)
Content
It has been about 6 months since I've set up this Patreon account, and I can't thank you guys enough: 125 patrons for about $415 a month (averages to around $3.30 per patron). I neverwould havethought that I'd reach so many patrons in such a short amount of time.So thanks again for your help guys!
I alsorealise thatI've made fewer "expensive"pledges than other artists I know, who often have +$50 pledges open... Idon't think that makes me cheap, but heh, still not sure I can offer asmuch dedication as them to my drawings >_< So don't think I'll change that soon, unless you've got nice ideas for those? Still,I'm quite happy to be able to dedicate more time of my life to drawing,which I love, even though I'm far from being a pro.It'sstill difficult for me, as my job is quite shitty at the moment, with lack of support andresources. I'm trying to get a job abroad, butI'mfar fromsuccessfulat the moment. >_<
Soyeah, your patronage does help me a lot, for bills, but also to escape abit from my job... It's still difficult for me to find said time for drawings, but try my hardest, seriously! Don't think I'll ever gain enough to live from it, but heh, who knows? Drawingwise, I'm happy with what I've done so far: I do about one image per week, if not more, which is waaaaay more than I originally thought I'd be able to produce at first... But heh, told you, I love drawing! If only I had more time and energy saved from my job.
When I created this Patreon, I made 2 goals: $250 (drawing a comic) and $500 (drawing comics more regularly)... Which is about to be reached soon!
Whileit pleases me a lot to see your support, I'm not sure if I can pull offa monthly comic at the moment: I'm not very confident in my skills, nor in my comic ideas at the moment... And I'm kinda missing time for those too >_< Still want to try my hand at them but not not on such a regular basis
Is this bad? Do you feel betrayed by expectations I set for myself?
Should I change the $500 goal? But in exchange for what? Got ideas, but I don't think I can fulfill a monthly dedication to them :/
Asfor what's next, I want to do more monster girls! It's been a time since I've drawn one! :D Centaurs, Lamias, etc... Mwhehehehehe!
I'll also try to work withManga Studio 5in the next couple of weeks, as I've only been working withPaint Tool SAIfor the last few years. Hope I'll be able to pull of nice pics in the coming weeks with that software.
