I'll make a Patreon.

The rewards will be:

$1/Month: I say thanks mentally.
$10/Month: I say thanks mentally. A bit louder.
$50/Month: I mentally yell 'thanks' at you.

I'll be rich. (?)

[[Truth is i keep being told to make a Patreon and I have NO FUCKING IDEA what I could offer on a Patreon since I'm NOT pay-walling my stuff xD]]

Could do a reward sketch raffle for the higher tiers. It's what my friend does on hers.

I feel raffles are... cheating.
They're all putting money equally, why only one should 'win'? ^^
I find them to be unfair as a concept, personally :3

partreon does not like raffles and have gotten onto some for doing them in the past.

for non pay wall, the ones I seen work well are private streams for the higher tiers for requests. Another thing you could do is move your polls over to the patreon users and give more incentive to those who give more. like $1=1vote, $5 = two, $10= 4 votes.

(Raffles are also technically against their rules because it counts as "Gambling")

But I feel you, I don't-and still don't- know what to offer on mine completely...I've got sketches and discounts but that's about it.

You could always just use it as a tip jar sorta thing, maybe just offer something small like full res or .psd stuff? If you do that, I mean. I think you'd be good on there, though. :D

Good luck if you make one~

Hmm what about 1$ Is a thanks since its just 1 dollar, and 50 you get a picture every month? I normally see people putting on their higher tiers basically an Image a month.

'cause for $35 they can get a 2-char image at any moment... cheaper than $50, and they get to choose when they want it =P
I never close commishes, after all...

sorry just saying the idea I had on the brain when I read it.

Patreon was meant for art projects and nothing more. a fuckton of artists been abusing it using it strictly as a paypal, that not how it works LOL AND the artists who don't use it like that are STILL using it wrong by using it in a way where you have to pay if you wanna see it early.

Patreon is a tip jar and was meant for such. And the rewards were meant to be the artist way of saying "thanks for the tip." Buuuut sadly what you expect XD

Not just art projects, it's for all kinds of content creation. You post content each month and people "tip" you for it. Some people use it to fund their projects, and that's not bad either. The problem with the misuse of Patreon is that artists will undersell themselves or paywall their content, which can hurt them in the long run because 1) it's an exploit to get cheaper commissions or (2) people get tired of having to pay for someone's porn art and thus find ways to data-mine and post content for free on e621 or u18chan or some other 'booru site.

Oh I know x3 I just have a general problem with Patreon in general but based on the backlash I would get, it clear I aint allowed to have a personal opinion about it LOL

I know an artist buddy of mine,

who will post standard quality pics here and higher quality pictures to Patreon. You could do the same.

I also know some that do Patreon commissions, but if you do that, make sure you set that reward queue to a number you can actually do.

Lastly, there's Patreon requests, which can be either you taking a poll on Patreon or setting a Patreon-exclusive request stream, like how

I dont think I could... as there's no 'high quality' version of what I post here, that's the size I work on XD;;
Unless I specifically shrunk the pics to post them here, which imo would be a bad move...

How wold Patreon commishes differ from normal ones? Thats something I would be interested in learning. I've literally been doing one pic a day, so... 'a number you can do' wouldn't be much of a problem XD

One thing I do is early-posted stuff. releasing to Patreon earlier. Working at a higher res is definitely a good plus that takes no effort, just memory and practice, but it makes high-res files as a viable reward. You could offer commissions through it, yeah, though keep in mind you do lose a bit of the cut that way. Maybe offer more work or something for the Patreon ones as incentive. I dunno! Bunch of possibilities.

First. How did you find me. Second, why I'm not watching you here when I -am- following you on DA? XD

Releasing early could be... dunno how many would be -that- interested on that though~
So, Patreon takes a cut of the profits for commishes, right? Besides the % paypal takes when reciving the money? Doesn't sound convenient to me @.@
What's the % Patreon keeps of the money you get?
