TL;DR: I'd love to get your opinion on this new plan I have for the top reward tiers. Take a look at the pictured table and let me know what you think~

I keep getting questions about opening up more of the drawing reward tiers, and I'm honestly flattered by the interest you seem to have by it. I genuinely don't think I'd be able to keep up with this and all the other things on my task list (such as commissions and personal projects) if I were to open up more slots for that tier. But I have a idea for a tier setup that will hopefully work. I struggled a bit with writing it out, so I drew up a table instead:

The 6-slot Sculpture tier will be more or less unchanged, but I'll try to be more disciplined about sticking to the style that I promised (unless of course you choose to upgrade to a larger commission or split something over multiple months).

The unlimited-slot Fountain tier will retain its greater commission discount, and they'll also be able to get on-stream drawings similar to the Sculpture tier on a first-come, first-served basis. Basically, if you make it to one of my Patreon drawing streams, then I'll be ready to do these monthly drawings for folks at this tier who show up. I'll work through them in the order in which you arrive and work until the end of the stream.

If any issues arise, then I'll try my best to handle them. Also, feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns about this. I'd love to hear what you all think about this.

(Edit: As someone pointed out, I should clarify that the discounts and other perks only kick in after payment is received, just to avoid shenanigans. When in doubt, think of it as if they apply after your first month.)

Seems like a nice balance. Weight the Fixed Slot against a slightly higher discount.

I would jump on that like a metaphorical thing that jumps really well.

One suggestion I would make, now that I think about it: The problem with "first come, first served" can be that the same people (the ones with the most free time) wind up getting the lion's share of the sketches. You should definitely limit it to "one per month per person", and maybe think of some way to give a preference to people who haven't gotten a sketch in a while.
