I'M (probably) BACK! (maybe) (Patreon)
Content
School's almost out, which means that I can work on art again! (Hope I'm not jinxing it.) Once the semester's all wrapped up, I'll share a few art-related things that I did for class. Thank you all for sticking around during these quiet few months.
However, quiet as I may have been, I haven't been doing entirely nothing. I've been considering finally putting the patreon's third tier ("Flying Toaster") to use. Now, as I am quite aware, many of you were first brought here because you like seeing "bwomp"--characters drawn in my signature, embiggened style. I have a question for you folks. In the future, would you be interested in upgrading your tier for access to monthly bwompy illustrations? If there is strong enough interest, I'll introduce this perk for one year. If it proves sustainable, I may continue the perk longer.
Here are the requirements for sustainability:
-Can I reliably produce an illustration each month without significantly impacting my health or interfering with my main work?
-By the end of one year, does the tier bring in a monthly income that is equivalent to at least one commission (about $300)?
Meeting a goal of $300 a month from a single tier will be hurdle, to say the least. Full disclosure, this would be more than triple the patreon's current net income. I'm not even sure how to market such a tier, so I am uncertain if I can drive enough patreon subscriptions. Though I am currently considering this as a perk for the $10 tier, I will likely have to introduce a new, higher tier to make something like this work.
There are many risks associated with this hypothetical tier, which has led me to abandon the idea many times in the past. If I try, it may fail. However, if I never try , I will never know definitively. The only thing that I have to lose is my dignity--which I unfortunately misplaced recently. If you find it somewhere, please bring it to me. I kinda need it back.
Anyways, if you have any thoughts, let me know. Is this a good idea? Is this a bad idea? What's this imp's name? So much to consider.
Thanks again for your support!
