Ok so lately I've been thinking about changing the pledge price.

Initially the idea of this patreon was to get maybe a few hundred extra per month in the long run, for the stuff I draw, just as a little extra for the things I draw, but it clearly got out of hand. Now, I see how much you guys have given me over the past few months and feel like it is way too much. I feel like this needs to be changed, I can't keep asking so much, especially in periods when I am not able to draw as much as usual (like now).

But before I lower the price, I am just curious what you think about this. I am planning to leave this poll open until the end of the month and use it to help decide what the new price should be.

Thanks for the support, it's been way more than I was expecting.

Two tiers would be a thing for you. One for those who want to go though minium support and one for true fans. In otherhand, nowaday one tier system seems to work well so there is no pressure to change things.

I am ALWAYS for a lower price, but seeing you show compassion for someone else's wallet is meaningful. Not only does the community appreciate your art, but you obviously appreciate the community. My vote is to keep the amount already requested. You have earned it.

ghand

Agree with other commenters. Your art is great, appreciate the empathy. My vote is to maintain the current tier price. Thanks for giving us degenerates something nice to look at.

Leroy Baca

You do great work. Dont sell your self short. Its worth it. Some of the best out there.

Habanero

I can't speak for everyone, but personally I feel the current price is fine for the value you provide. You draw very unique art that caters to a underserved, niche audience. You don't have much competition at this quality level. Of course we all want you to put out content more frequently, and from our perspective, lowering prices runs counter to that goal. As such, I expect "keep price the same" will win in a landslide here.

Khaaan

I treat it as supporting the artist, not buying art. Dry spells come and go. It’ll make me appreciate new works that much more.

Jack

Well, i've seen some people out there who offer less for more and I must say the fact that you think it's to much, makes it to little actually!

Txz12

This is an honest price!

EveningMoonLight

Im for staying with the current price, you deserve the support, spiders for life \=w=/

Phil

Honestly, the difference between $4 and $2 is completely negligible for those that have money to blow on a Patreon in the first place. If this were a Patreon where we were talking about a $15 tier vs. a $5 tier, that's a little different.

Adrian

I'm also with staying with the current price. You definitely earn our support but I'll respect your decision if you do change it, I'll still continue to support you!

As a creator, I totally get how you are feeling. I post 90% to 95% of my work as free so I do not feel so locked into doing something just to post it. Because I don't charge much I do not worry if I having a trouble making something, keeps what I'm doing enjoyable.

John Adams

Your stuff is great man, love the tactical girls vibe most. I'm down with the price, even if I gotta pause for a month or 2, won't be cause of price haha. I'll be back.

Joseph Czarniak

son of a carpenter and a (physical) painter here. grew up spanning the time before free trade with china, trade being opened, and the aftermath of free trade. our business of selling hand painted wooden crafts, did not survive the transition. people saw what was coming out of china, and expected us to change less for more. things have equalized now a days, not perfect, but the balance between mass produced and cheap goods versus handmade unique goods at a higher price point is more... logical. you still get the animals that expect da vinci quality painting for the price of a kinkade print, but most people aren't idiots. lower your tiers if you want to. keep them the same. create a dozen different tiers. in the end it is your account, your artwork, and only you can value it to your liking. personally i'd look at your metrics. if you're losing people, lower them or add some perks. if you've been growing or holding steady, don't devalue yourself. not going to lie, i have not been paying attention to comments on your other posts, i've been pretty much reading your posts, snagging the new art and eagerly waiting for more. but kinda like my last paragraph, if your comments aren't filled with people complaining, you're prolly doing something right at the right price point.

Andy

worth every $

Anders

Happy to keep it at the current level, but it depends partly on what you expect your output to be going forward? IF you were thinking of halving the output I might see the logic and honesty in reducing the price. Otherwise, I'm cool with where it is at.

Disgruntledlungfish

You make fantastic art, and deserve every penny and more.

Ghost

ZG please don’t be concerned that you don’t post new works often enough. We are happy with your work, some if registered on patreon only to support you.

JJ

I'm more than happy to pay for your awesome artworks. I really hope to see more content more often in the future!

Desiree

$5 is nothing for me. That's literally not even 1 Starbucks coffee I get every morning before work.

Seth Prater

Don't sell yourself short. Your work is definitely worth this price. :)

Haeniel

I would even go as far as to say keep the 4 tier, and maybe even add a 10 for those like me who would want to show some extra love. Every bit of the success you have now is well earned. <3

Hedrah

You're under the false impression that you're asking us for the total sum you're receiving monthly. We are giving you that by choice. We are making a conscious decision as adults to give you money to support your art. You are not forcing us. You are not demanding that we keep the total sum above four digits. This is us showing you our appreciation for the work you do. You will gain a larger following of people who enjoy your art and wish to show their support for the work that you do. It might feel like it's a pressure on you to produce but it is not, you are not letting anyone down. If you were a flaky artists, you would not have this many people keeping their pledge to you. TLDR: We're giving this because we want to. Hakuna matata and keep doing you.

tennkaii

your art is amazing! you don't give enough credit to your stuff, I would happily pay more ^^ we all love the stuff you make and can't wait to see where you take all this!

Fuoren

I think it's fine as it is. You draw quality and clearly take your time and it is appreciated, not to mention it's a brand of weird that ends up being good but not grotesque in the extreme and that is appreciated.

Matt (not that one)

Just chiming in to say that your artwork is delightfully unique, and would be a bargain at twice the price. There are so many artists out there who are underpaid for their work; please take our money!

Benjamin Hester

I wouldn’t say no to lower tier that just provides access to finished pieces, but I’m not complaining about the current rate either. That said, keep in mind that most supporters donate to multiple creators, and that can get pricy pretty quick. It doesn’t feel great to have to drop one person to support another

Kuromeru

Dude your totally fin, we love you cause your art is by far the best we have seen. It was a crime to only have a handful of followers on Pixv. IMHO i would love to give you more honestly. Its your art style, the webbing, and really creative creatures and spiders <3 I knew once you got more exsposure ppl would come running. Please keep up the good work. If you really feel its a burden give us more content. Shit i wouldnt mind funding my own projects if you wanted. We love you, thank you.

Rauko the varment

definitely worth the price so don't lower it, because good artists should never sell themselves short!

Sacs19

relax mate, your stuff is worth every cent. can't say i understand your position but... one thing i know, the people that are here supports you because you deserve that, you do good drawings in a niche that we don't see much around and that is worth gold, don't worry about not posting much stuff, drawing takes time specially comics, just be careful to not suffer a burnout. in worst case, try creating a second tier with a lower value, so those who want can move to it, see if that helps your mind. and sorry for the english, but i hope you can understand what i mean xD

Scyrus

Take our money and give us the epic fuckmelons! ;-)))

TheHydrodoom

dont care bout price just work your ass off boi

I know you are busy on commissions as well as your Patreon offerings (I am really enjoying one of them). Don't feel bad if you can't release something every month. Quality is far more important than quantity. We don't want you to suffer burnout.

Ian Sukarsa

I actually think the quality and regularity of your works are more than worth it at 4€. To be honest, it initially felt like a steal when compared to other patreons.

Kwess

Your content and style are unique and what you're offering is definitely equal or more than the subscription. Where else can I get what you give? Nah, happy to pay you. Just keep doing what you do best.

Fate Ebxyr

If anything I dare say offer voting on stuff, but I'd rather you keep as much creative freedom as possible. Perhaps offer commissions to patreons. :P

Inea

Add a higher tier! Doesn't even need special benefits or anything. You should be happy and comfortable.

Kwess

Happy to say this is my second month of supporting your content. :D

From Beyond

you could charge more with this quality lol but honestly I think maintain this price and gaining your freedom is better some artists are pressured by many requests from higher tiers and it looks stressful the more money they pay, more stuff they want from you
