Patreon Pin Up, Cyberpunk, and New Reward Discussion (Patreon)
Content
To begin, this is my take on Lucy from Cyberpunk Edgerunners. I confess I'm unfamiliar with the source material on this one. I tried the in(?)famous game somewhat recently, and concluded it is not a game to play while consuming alcohol because I got easily lost, confused, and ass-whupped. I never even made it to Keanu for crying out loud, though I may give it another go sober next time. I also haven't seen the show Lucy hails from, so why am I drawing her? That leads us to our next topic: updating rewards around here!
Once upon a time, I used to run polls on the $10 tier to decide Monday pin up characters. I stopped doing it because having one vote spread across both Patreon and Subscribestar would be a messy undertaking, but now it's coming back! Since all $10 supporters across both platforms gain access to the Discord server, simply hosting the polls there is something that should have occurred to me a lot sooner. My inept brain aside, we tested it this weekend and it went well. So moving forward, the first pin up of each month will be up for vote on the server. Just the first one because I still want the second one each month to draw whatever I want, but other things besides pin up content may come up for votes in the future.
Another thing I wanted to run by you guys: You'll notice I have both an NSFW and SFW version of Lucy here. How would you feel about me occasionally posting SFW versions publicly when I have them? (I say "when I have them" because many of my compositions will be too sexually explicit to be rendered SFW with anything but big black bars, a look I've never cared for.)
I like this idea for a couple of reasons. It gives a little more content to the $1 tier while still keeping the NSFW version exclusive to the $5 tier. It also gives me something SFW to advertise the site with publicly, which is also a plus. I haven't made any permanent decisions yet, if you have any thoughts on the matter I'd love to hear them.
What else am I thinking of? Videos! One thing for sure is that the Reintalk tutorials are coming back in early 2023. My originals are so hopelessly outdated I'm going to remake them on every topic I know anything about. I also want to get into timelapse drawing videos as well. Not sure how I'll go about distributing those yet, but I'll be sure to announce when I have something solid.
Lastly: are there any rewards I haven't listed that you'd like to see around here? I want to make this site as engaging as I can for everyone here, and if there's something obvious I haven't thought of I'd love to hear your opinions.
