My biggest problem with doing something like a PDF guide is that I don't want to send the wrong message. I don't want to make a statement like: "this is the only way to paint this mini and you NEED to use the tools and paints that I have." I've strongly disliked that mentality for some time and then I thought about cooking food....kind of weird, let me explain. I watch a lot of chefs on YouTube and it's the most annoying thing ever when they don't have a recipe for the food they're making. Having to watch a video while cooking is really annoying. So this is what I figured I'd do. Every time I paint a miniature, I show the whole process of me stumbling through it, explaining my decisions, solving problems. Then, I release a PDF of the paint process which describes the end product, what I landed on after all my research. This is is the thing you can check quickly to see what I did for a certain part of a mini so you can take it and run without needing to dive through a 20 minute video.
These PDFs would be available for patrons $2+ for 30 days at the time of posting. After 30 days, the link expires and you can no longer download it; let me explain. People who were patrons for that month should be able to get the reward for being a patron. If you join after, you missed out on the reward. Similar to how people miss out on an early release in the month of October if they join in November. If a patron happens to miss the download and they were a patron that month, I'll send it over no problem. If you happened to not be a patron for a particular month and you'd like the PDF for a certain miniature, I'll sell them at $4 a pop. So, being a patron gives you access to all the things it gives access to now, in addition to cheaper PDFs. How does that idea sound? This would be a digital product to sell, and also something to add more value to my patreon.
Now onto format for the PDFs. I'm thinking about being inspired by the late Warhammer Visions magazines that only ran for one year. Here's an example:
What do you guys think of this format?
