Content

Hey everyone. Last year i already mentioned that i wanted to sit down and think a little about possibly expanding the reward tiers, and so that is what i did.

As of right now nothing is implemented but i wanted to just open this up here to allow you all to either give feedback, or suggest something.

As i tend to ramble on and on, let's get the main points out of the way. Currently the planned expansion is aimed at the 5$ tier and up, with the added content being a discord server to make communication easier and also just to sort of be more readily available. Something i tend to be pretty bad at online. So i would like to provide some avenue there.

And secondly we'd be talking about more exclusive content to patreon. Nothing too big mind you, we're talking about sketches and smaller drawings, studies, perhaps some further notes and so on. Just something to spice things up from the regular commission related content.

So, it won't be anything major all in all, this is still a pretty small patreon thing, so of course i got to work with the scale i've got. And of course it has to fit with what i do, what my strengths are and what people come to me for. Admittedly i could have probably just done a poll regarding the last bit and actually gotten some hard data, but perhaps that's something for the future.

And these two additions are simple to do for me, and easily scalable. I intend to put in some new stretch goals as well to reflect these changes. Namely a 50 patrons stretch goal to actually start with the extra content by dedicating one day a month to these extras, and then basically another one for 130 patrons to expand that further to 3 days a month.

The discord server is probably going to be something that'll start before the stretch goal is reached(once i get to setting everything up and figure out how it works in the first place), and the content coming out of the "patreon workday" will start once the stretchgoal is met. There are other things i'm considering as well, but these two are the ones I can commit to right this moment.

Thank you very much for reading, and yes like i said feel free to throw in suggestions if you have some, or anything else you want to talk about!

2026-09-07 19:00 I've no specific recommendations man, Discord sounds great, even if I am similarly bad at consistently communicating over the web, but I do tend to have Discord up when I'm at home/off work. My only conceptual recommendation would be focusing on things/perks on the Patreon that would help grow it/draw more followers. I expect that those of us who are supporting, and are here in the earlier days will be here a while, and it may be worth looking at some things that would draw more folks in as well (unfortunately since I don't host a Patreon of my own, as I don't write enough to do so just yet, I'm afraid I don't have a specific answer withhow to do that :/ )

Yes, of course in the end all my thoughts always revolve around hopefully drawing in more people, but it's always something that has to be balanced well as if possible i don't want to impede the content i put out publicly. So it always is a bit of a tough dance to dance to offer you and everyone something beyond what you get from my usual stuff, without just taking away the usual stuff either. I like to think of course that I am on the right way. While the Discord may not be much it still is something extra that might get some more involved, and then with the Patreon dedicated days I'll hopefully be able to push more into that type of content (extra sketches, little drawing etc. that won't necessarily end up on the online platforms ) that would draw people here more strongly than just the promise of "here is how i work" . But of course time will tell how well it actually does work.
