Hello! Patreon goals vs tiers, streaming (Patreon)
Content
Hej! First off, I really want to thank you all for showing so much support for what I do! I don't think I could've believed when I started doing this way back when that some day people would be willing and some even happy to sponsor what I do.
I've been trying to think what extra value I can offer in return.
Streaming
One thing I've been testing is streaming my art through Picarto. It's not exactly perfect, to be honest, because streaming from iPad currently tends to cut the connection every few hours due to some software issue. I also can't follow or respond to any chat messages, but I do open a voice chat on Discord. Happy to discuss any topic while I'm on. I promise you I'll be the most awkward sounding person in the room.
Old works
I added some milestones to my page. I thought some of you might appreciate being able to download my old works in bigger resolution than before in one easy zip file! The plan is to release two years per each milestone all the way to year 2017. Files are released after a successful charged post, so there may be a month's delay between hitting the goal and sharing the files.
These are not, however, complete archives! Some pieces are left out for personal reasons, others are lost in broken hard drives, and they will not contain commissioned works where hi-res is the privilege of the commissioner.
I've scaled the original files down to modern UHD resolution, which should suffice for a few years onwards.
YCH pools
I have my doubts that we can actually reach the later goals with only one tier, so one premium perk that I've been thinking is providing a range of YCH type of deals.
With some drawings, I don't really care what the characters look like, so I don't really mind drawing other OCs in place, if the style matches. These could replace the John Bark and Brandon Bunny stand-ins I usually draw in almost every piece...
There are issues with this, I am aware. Like, how do you manage the references & keep things fair? I'm still thinking this through, so don't expect this happening any time soon if at all.
