Tier Rewards Question (Patreon)
Content
I've been having some thoughts about the direction of this Patreon for the last couple months, namely about the Commission Tiers. To be honest, I'm kind of tired of these tiers. Every month I have to do 8 drawings just for Patreon when I take the Exclusive into consideration, and it's a huge timesink for very little return at this point. I want to draw more elaborate stuff more often and to be able to pick what I'm drawing, but trying to churn out lineart and colored pieces for only $10 and $30 respectively is eating all of my drawing time. This page is explicitly why I can't catch up on the Final Fantasy manga or draw any comics in general. Ultimately, I'm not really charging anything for my art for the time invested. I'm not saying you guys aren't paying anything; your money is valuable and hard-earned too. I mean that $5 for a 60-90 minute piece of lineart isn't really worth it for me when it's taking away my time to practice drawing and make better content.
Personally, I'd rather add another Exclusive related to a "Poll Tier" (it wouldn't be more than $10/month) for those of you that'd like to pledge more than $5 and offer some creative control over what characters I pick for specifically that Exclusive. I love making the Exclusives for you guys; they feel like my best work (tell me if you don't think so though).
Regardless, I'm killing the Commission Tiers after this month, but I want to give everyone a chance to give feedback on where to go from here. Leave comments too!
