As you know, I have closed my commissions and am probably gonna offer sketches through patreon for a while.It would go something like this: Joining the tier (priced at $40-60 excl. VAT) entitles you to a sketch comm similar to the drawings I recently posted, that I am gonna draw based on your description/refs. You're only guaranteed the first one, but can get later ones again when there is capacity, thus everyone gets a chance. So you can simply drop to a lower tier after paying for it, say, 2 months, if you want a 2 character sketch.The whole thing isn't set in stone, so let me know how you like the idea below and help me gauge how many slots I would have to plan for in the beginning. If I offered this now, what would you wanna get?

I've been on a few Patreons that have done this, and my recommendation is that you should only do one of these two things: (1) Offer a limited tier that gets someone a sketch each time they're charged for the tier, or (2) Just open commission slots early for Patrons but manage slots the classic way. Bascially, trying to do a thing where people rotate in and out of a sketch tier is going to be a huge headache for you and patrons. People will accidentally overpay, accidentally leave the tier early, accidentally misundetstand the teir system, etc. Patreon is not set up to work this way, Patreon is designed such that people get monthly or per-post rewards if they pay and get nothing if they don't, hacking it together in a different fashion is going to be a pain in the ass for you.
