Monthly sketches for Patrons - A discussion and preview! (Patreon)

Hello Patrons!

That title may have interested you.  It's been a long time since I've started my Patreon and I've long contemplated doing monthly sketches or drawings for Patrons.  I want to go over some details, ideas, and garner some feedback perhaps!

To start with let me lay out my initial idea:

- 4 to 8 slots only per month.
-Price floor starts either at the $20 or a new $25/30 stage.  Anyone at or higher than that is auto-enrolled for that month.
-Limited to sketch and color.  I plan to draw an image or two to match my ideal visual look that you can expect from this.
-A ruleset similar to my commission sheet but with some modification.  I will detail this more if the idea reaches fruition.

I am thinking of demo-ing this system either next month (March) or very soon.  I'll notify folks ideally within a couple days before March starts if March is the month to start it.

After I finish the sketches for that month, I will make a decision if I want to continue that idea into next month, or take a break.

---

I am open to feedback, comments, or criticism of this idea so far.  Feel free to leave something and I'll do my best to answer or respond!

Thank you for your support, those apart of the free tier!
Thank you as always for your support, Patrons!

The one thing I'll say about this kind of system is that it's a lot of work. I've seen a few artists do it, and most of them have either pivoted to something more sustainable or have stopped posting altogether. Seeing more art from you (and potentially getting a sketch from you in the future!) is enticing, but don't overextend yourself. If you're doing color, I would definitely say you should be putting the price point higher than $20. That's just my two cents, it's exciting stuff, I just want to keep seeing your art!

As a lot have already pointed out, it sounds great but it also seems like something that can swamp you with too much very fast! In my own opinion i dont mind if its 1 a month, 5 a month or just whenever you feel like it fits.

I'll contemplate options on pricing for sure. Once I do some demo sketches for what can be expected from both myself and you folks, I'll know better how I want to price it and how many slots I want to take. I admit to depending on my wicked speed keeping me up on this. Limiting stuff to sketch, with responsive clients, can have me completing up to two sketches in a day. That's idealistic though! It's something I know will take longer than that and that's fine. I'll keep myself lucid month to month depending on workload I'm wanting.

That's another thing I can consider too. Go month by month for how many slots I'm gonna take. But I don't necessarily want to make it so unsteady as to make folks wary of trying to get in because next month I go from 6 slots to 2. It's gonna be interesting to try to balance.
