Changes to tiers and a few questions. (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone. I'll be doing a few changes. First, here's a quick tl;dr and then more details and questions follow.
tl;dr:
1) $1 tier will become $2 after a month or so
2) $5 and $10 tiers will have more rewards
So, more details and reasons for these two changes.
1) Learning more things about patreon, it appears a big chunk of the $1 pledge goes to patreon fees and its much more viable to make the lowest tier $2, unfortunately.
Of course current $1 patrons will get the rewards for this month as normal and will remain at $1 for now. I'll keep the $1 tier for maybe a month more so you have time to decide whether to stop your pledge or change to the $2 tier in the future.
Either way, thank you for your support so far and sorry for the inconvenience.
2) I feel like the higher tiers dont have enough rewards for the price so i'll be doing the following:
From now on, $5 tier will have the same rewards as the current $10 - PSD files in the reward pack.
$10 tier patrons will get an additional reward pack of their choice from one of the previous months.(PM me which reward pack you'd like and i will send it to you in the first week of the next month along with your normal reward pack. You can see the packs to choose from here: https://gumroad.com/kupocun )
One other, smaller change to mention here - from now on i'll resize the PSD files a bit (maybe down to around 2k) - i figure the usefulness of these is to see my process and layers - a huge, original resolution is not necessary for that and the file size will be much more convenient to download. (currently its 500-1000 MB per pack, after resizing it will be 5-10 times less) Though im open to reconsider, let me know if you think this is not a good change.
Now, a couple of questions.
Q1: I'm considering whether to post full resolution pictures for $5+ patrons right away or only include them in the reward pack at the end of the month.
PRO: not posting right away would prevent some pledge dodgers and the page would be cleaner with less double posts, essentially.
CON: you'd only get the full res at the end of the month, not immediately.
So let me know what you think. Is getting the full res immediately important to you or is only getting it in the reward pack at the end of the month fine?
Q2: I'm experimenting with recording my drawing process and considering adding such videos as rewards in the future, probably to one of the higher tiers.
Im just learning how to go about it and it does require some time do to so im wondering - are such videos something you guys would be interested in?
