Content

How are you all doing? There has been a pretty good amount of new patrons over the last few weeks and I just want to welcome you all and thank you for subscribing. I am really excited about the plans for 2018 here on Patreon and I am happy to have you here with me. 

LENS Update

As you might know, I am planning on using Patreon's app called LENS (which is similar to instagram) to show exclusive patreon content more often to anyone of you who wants to see it. I have still not heard about the date that I will be getting this app but as soon as I get it I'll start using it. I've been told that it would be soon. 

December Plans

For December I am planning to release some $5+ content as a test before we launch into 2018. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to edit the process videos because the one I am currently working on is 3.5 hours long. I'm not sure if anyone will really want to watch 3.5 hours of me working on a piece of art yet. Maybe a 2 hour max is reasonable? haha.

Tutorial Polls

I plan on sending out a poll each month or two to get a vote on what topic to tackle next. Some of my ideas for tutorial videos are: What I learned about Color Theory at Dreamworks, Page Composition, Making Snappy Animation (in After Effects) and Storyboarding.

If you have any other suggestion that I can add to the poll then please let me know in the comments. :)

As you can see, there are only 40 slots left of the $5 tier! In a few weeks I will do a big push to fill up the rest of these spots by promoting them to my mailing list and making an official Patreon video. To those of you who are already at the $5 level, I hope this serves as a Thank You for being one of my early patrons. :) I am so grateful for your support in what I'm doing. 

See you soon!

All those tutorial ideas sound great. One suggestion I have is a tutorial on Storytelling - which in itself could probably be, like, 12 videos. Are you planning on doing something with Discord? I'm seeing that it's all the rage but I've never used it and have no idea what the hype is about.

Great idea on the Storytelling topic. And now that you mention Discord maybe I should use that as a way to figure out the topics. I signed up and allowed patrons access but I honestly can't figure out why or how I should use it just yet. I was thinking of making a little artist community of my artist patreons and allow them to post their art and have discussions about it. But I could also have a thread on video subjects. I'm not a quick to adapt as I used to be with new internet stuff but it does seem like everyone is flocking to this Discord thing for some reason.

Interesting post. I had never heard of graphtreon. Looking through your charts I would be hesitant to call it a “Fail”. It’s simply a learning process. The reality is you still have Patrons and they still provide revenue. Patreon has been learning how to be Patreon ... artists like you are continuing to learn how to use it to your benefit and patrons like us are learning what we should (and shouldn’t) expect. Also, sometimes it could even be larger economic factors why patrons subscribe and then unsubscribe. It’s hard to say. But having some kind of feedback portal on exiting (and entering) patrons would be super useful. I hope Patreon supplies that one day for you.
