Patreon rewards Q&A (Patreon)

Sometimes I receive some questions regarding the rewards I offer for my patrons and I would like to address some of them in a single post.

First, what are the rewards?

The rewards are drawings done with artistic liberty. You can give me a character, tell me a little about them and I will draw them for you. It's that simple  =)
The character reference can be a full-blown reference sheet, with a complete backstory and all, or it can be a simple drawing, as long as it shows the character well.
In case of a character without a written backstory or personality, you're welcome to provide me with some hints as to what you would like me to draw. Just keep in mind that this is not a commission!

For example, "draw my friend's character dressed as a bard!" or "draw my character, he's a mechanic who loves cars" are good examples of descriptions. They're simple, but informative enough for me to visualize something to draw  =)
But please avoid detailed requests such as "I want this character inside a dirty garage, wearing a mechanic's clothes, bending over a ford mustang while fixing the engine". Those sorts of description are more fitting for a commission, where I expect the client to have something more specific in mind when requesting for my services and I provide work in progress pics and fix the drawing as necessary. This all takes extra time and sometimes can be a source of a paralyzing anxiety, something I would like to avoid with my patrons. I hope you understand.

What can I use my rewards for?

You can use your reward to request a drawing of one character, be it your own character, someone else's character or any fictional character! Each tier have a written description for their rewards and a corresponding art example as their icon. Please avoid requesting something different than your tier reward, as I planned their slots according to my capacity of working on all of them within the time limit of a month. I need the variety of complexities in order to not have a burn out. I know I wouldn't be able to do several paintings in a month, just like I know I would get tired of drawing several headshots. Balance is important  =)

But I thought I could stack my rewards in order to get a nicer drawing!

Yes, you can! But you have to talk to me about it beforehand, so I can plan the month accordingly. You're as responsible as I am for your reward! If you don't tell me what you would like to do with your reward until the 15th day of the month, I reserve the right to either draw any of your previous characters or to annulate your reward for that month. If you disappear for months and then come back requesting a more complex drawing when I don't have the time for it, you won't receive the drawing. I hope you understand that in order for things to run smoothly, it requires commitment and responsibility from both parts involved - patron and artist.

Can I request two or more characters in the same drawing?

I would rather keep this to a limit, but yes, you can. Although you will need to accumulate your rewards for this, so plan in advance! For example, if you're in the full-body sketch tier (Juvenile), you would need to accumulate two months to be able to request a drawing with two characters in it. I can't offer a "downgrade" in order to squeeze another full-body character in the same picture, so if you want a drawing with more than one character, please talk with me about it beforehand so we can plan your monthly rewards  =)
The only exception would be the experimental painting tier (Adult Dragon), where it's possible to split it into two full-body, flat-colored characters.
