March Update
Added 2023-03-05 20:36:45 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Just a quick update on where I'm at. As you know I'm still in the early days of my patreon and I'm figuring out a schedule and how I can offer each tier valuable content. I'll do my best to release drawings and/or illustrations on a weekly bases even if they're just work in progress so you can follow my creative process.
Discord Server/Livestreams:
With regards to setting up a discord server, I'm still figuring how to set everything up and how I will manage things with the time I have. For now, I'm thinking of making it a goal for once I reach a larger number of supporters. For workshop tier patrons, I'm still trying to figure out what the best way to have live drawing streams is (through discord despite not great quality streaming, through a private youtube key, zoom etc.) I'd appreciate any suggestions if you have any.
Q&A:
I'm thinking of setting up a monthly Q&A to be able to answer any of your questions, whether it be related to work, life, practice, school, etc. So keep your eyes out for a Q&A post where you'll be able to submit your questions!
Monthly Character Poll:
Every month I also want to give you the opportunity to suggest what drawing I'll turn into a full illustration, so watch out for that!
All in all, I hope you're enjoying things so far, despite there still being quite a bit to set up. Thanks again for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Christophe

The discord server is still in the works! Once it's online you will be invited automatically:) I'll make an announcement when the time comes.

2023-03-06 18:18:10 +0000 UTCI wish I know more about streaming. It would be nice if Patreon had a built-in streaming thing, but I think the students above have mentioned some good suggestions. I am loving the content so far, and I can’t wait for the coming days!

2023-03-06 03:41:46 +0000 UTCHey Christophe thanks for updating ! Regarding discord I guess that if you have a Discord Nitro subscription you can stream in full HD. Also, you can manage access of the different vocal/text channels so it might be useful to organize all tiers. Youtube would be great too as Calum mentionned above with the VODs. Anyway I'm verry happy that I can support you as I've been (and still haha) studying your content on youtube very hard and I can't believe you made this goldmine free. Looking forward too for what's coming :)

2023-03-05 22:29:09 +0000 UTCHi Christophe, with regards to the drawing streams maybe youtube would be best as you could probably turn it into a vod? I know for myself and likely others in a different timezone it might be difficult to tune in so would be great if there could be something we could watch. But I'm not savvy to making videos so no idea if Discord can do something like that anyway :) Enjoying the content so far and looking forward for what is to come!
