May Update! Patreon Ideas

Hey guys! 

I had a ton of appointments this week, so not as much art to post, or time to post it. Here's a little sketch though! This is Idris, something of a secondary persona of mine; a passionate woodworker, a father, and a bit of a goof when not in pensive art studio poses like this.

Patreon Ideas

So, you guys all rock, but I don't feel like I'm interacting with you enough! Which is a shame considering that was one of the big goals of opening this place up! 

I'm always looking for ways that I can give you guys more, and so far I have two ideas: a monthly suggestion box, and sketch sponsor reward tier. 

The monthly suggestion box would be a post available to ALL patrons, where you can comment with a thing or two that you'd like to see me draw.  A species, a pose/act, stuff like that. I probably wouldn't be able to do all of the suggestions, and there'd be no guarantee on any one in particular, but I would do my best to fulfill them throughout the month. 

Bare minimum, it'd be a sketch I did to warm up before working on other things, but if it goes really well I could make it into a more finished piece! I think this would be a very cool way to make you guys feel like you're involved in what I'm doing, while also encouraging me to keep experimenting and trying fresh new subjects. 

The sketch sponsor would be a reward tier - like the $3 and $5 tiers - that lets you tell me what to draw. Unlike the suggestion box, it would be a  way to guarantee that I draw it, rather than just getting a chance, or having to compete with other suggestions. Perfect if you really want to see me draw a werewolf in a bikini, haha. 

The idea would have to be loose, so that I have freedom with it. "Cougar in a cool hat" rather than "Wolf running through the woods with a suitcase." The drawing itself would also be a sketch, but probably with a bit more time spent on it than things from the suggestion box. 

I think this would be a $15-20 tier. I'd start with 1 or 2, and may eventually add more, or make a larger one for a fancier drawing or more specific request. 

What do you think? Do these sound interesting to you? Are there ways I could make it better, or some other way you think we could interact? I'd love your feedback!

Thanks for reading! ♥
