ITS HAPPENING!

Subscribestar approved! Finally!
https://subscribestar.adult/theoryofstrings

There should be more there even within the next day or so so check it out ^_^

As far as additional tiers I was brainstorming a raffle system, like 10 bucks a "ticket" where you could buy multiple tickets a month to allow one or two people a month to get a full color commission from me. What do ya think? Good idea? Garbage idea? Good but in need of tweaking?

EDIT: Seems like the general thoughts are that raffle not ideal lol. Understandable. Thanks everyone for the feedback! ^_^

i like the idea, but i think you'll want to spread out your tiers. not just a single raffle tier.

Thats a good point. was kind of thinking of just using this system and having the additional tiers be additional "tickets" for the raffle but idk... I'll have to think about it.

Imo, raffles can leave supporters frustrated if they rarely win. But drawing a reward image per supporter per month can burn an artist out. Just posting a steady stream of personal art can sometimes work, but only if your audience finds it engaging enough.

Perhaps look for ways to make subscribestar into a community or group experience, like sharing exclusive works-in-progress, insight into your art process or how you plan a piece, storytelling with art (like a short mini comic or picture series to develop a character), maybe doing private streams, maybe letting the audience vote on characters for an upcoming piece, etc.

Congrats on getting approved!

Good insight. The first paragraph there is basically exactly what I've been thinking and worried about with those three options (with me having experienced the second one HARD) with me only deciding a raffle would be okay after a couple people from the Patreon suggesting it and a few more saying they would be okay with it. Hard to know if it would end up being a bad idea regardless tho.

I'll definitely give some thought to the other suggestions there (quite partial to votes and CYOA style stuff but we'll see). Thanks.

Glad to know you got something going on at least with all that mess with Pat.Also any chance to make any kind of folder archive to any kind of hosting site like you had some with dropbox?Cause while baraag lets us see the pics that you make it downscales them like twitter but unlike twitter you can't alter the link to make it go to its original size again.So anything like that would be much appreciated bud

I will likely end up doing that at some point for a few reasons. I think I still have some art thats not posted anywhere right now because of annoying site rules. Stay tuned for info on that.

Oh really awesome to hear that!
How long did approval take? I heard of artist who waited months and there were rumors they wouldn't accept new members anymore.

As for commissions, well, as a commissioner I'd like to see you offer those :)

I think I submitted early April so it took quite a while and thats with me messaging them about 5 times through their support email since then @_@. I was literally talking to someone yesterday about giving up and trying Pixiv Fanbox but they messaged me last night and then finally approved me a few hours ago.

Two months are annoying, but acceptable, I guess (heard way worse).

Nice work getting approved ^^
Paid commission lotteries are trash, though. Do not recommend.

I'm not super crazy about raffles, either. I still advocate the "one commission every couple-few months" or maybe a point system similar to what this guy came up with:  https://www.deviantart.com/airbendingkwakwa/journal/Wan...

But its good to see you back in the swing of things. :3

A point system or raffle system's not a bad idea, if you do a raffle system then what might be fair is "Okay if you won the last raffle you can't be in the next two" or the like, this way it gives people who haven't won one an even chance.

Maybe make your primary tier a suggestion tier that you roulette at the start of the month? So that way, people still get input, but it’s entirely arbitrary what wins so nobody feels jilted by anything but the numbers.
