Upcoming changes: reward tiers!
🕑 Added 2017-07-26 19:35:20 +0000 UTC Hey everyone! I hope you're doing well.Over these past couple months, things have been a little rocky for me, but I feel that I've also gained a bit better perspective on what I'm capable of here. And so, I'd like to start making some tweaks to my Patreon rewards; aiming to start sometime in the next month (so no need to go changing anything just yet!), and no worries, I'll be adding rather than taking anything away. ^_^
----
At the moment, there's just the one tier, and everything's available from there whether you pledge $1 or $100. Those rewards have been a little sporadic, but generally, what Patreons have access to is what's listed below:
- WIPs and other behind-the-scenes posts
- early access to my work
- and easier opportunities to make suggestions and requests, provide feedback, and that sort of thing.
So all of that stuff's staying right where it is, and I'll probably try to do a better job of actually listing it, too. I like the business model of keeping Patreon as a "tip jar", with most of the rewards being available right at the start; even the smallest of donations helps out, and with every milestone, it helps me to be able to actually set aside time separate from commission work to just do more personal projects, Paeratopa scenes and for-fun things.
Now that I've had these past few months to make some high-resolution renders for a change, it's not as difficult as I once thought it'd be! It's still a hefty time investment, but it's manageable enough that I could probably do a high-res version of most of my newer works. So, I'll be making my first new tier just for that, at the $5 mark:
- access to high-res versions of some of my work
- all previous rewards
These new high-res versions of my projects will be done in either 300dpi print-ready sizes (A4 paper) or possibly just 4k resolution, for those of you who have monitors even bigger than mine. :P
I might find some more to add into the tier later on if it feels like there's not enough there, but most likely I'm just going to keep the rest lower down! I haven't decided yet if the priority access to commissions will stay as Patreon-exclusive (I don't know how often it'd actually be relevant), but I'll probably keep announcing new slots here first anyway, even if it's public.
Personally, I like these sorts of tier setups; there's no bad feelings over an artist locking their content behind a paywall, but for the folks who want to offer some support, there's still some nice rewards to enjoy, and even the bigger stuff isn't at an expensive reward level. I'd like to keep my own Patreon running in a way that I would feel comfortable pledging to, at every level, and I hope I can continue improving and creating content you all can feel the same way about!
Questions? Feedback? Suggestions, even? Let me know in the comments, I'm eager to improve things however I can. And thank you so much to all of you who are or have been supporting my work; it really means a lot!
