Patreon Interest Check!
Morning! I figured I would put out some ideas and thoughts on a Patreon Discord server setup. It’ll really help me to know what you guys would like if I went forward with something like that so I could structure the server accordingly, so here’s some ideas I have to start and we can pile thoughts on:
Very, very simple tier structure. Probably just, like, $2-$3 a month to have access to the server. Higher benefits pending, but would probably be along the lines of a bust portrait raffle or paintover/redlining for your art if you wanted that.
Separate channels for the following: WIPs, finished sketches, high resolution paintings, NSFW work.
18+ only. I’m keeping that one as a hard line.
Screensharing in a call/access to a livestream when I paint? I usually just sit around working for a while in the morning and early afternoon every day so that may be neat to do.
Sped up painting process videos as well as progress shots?
Questions and feedback channel. General art share channel for other people to share their art because I just think that’s dope. I don’t just want this server to be a showcase as much as a genuine resource and place where you can also share and discuss art.
Art links, resources and notes channel that I would just semi-regularly update with general art notes and learnings. Think along the lines of this post, studies, etc.
I had a Patreon before and genuinely struggled with maintaining it and using the posting format Patreon worked with. That may be different now, but I gotta say I’m much more comfortable with Discord and using that as a feed of my art, sketches and interactions instead. I also much prefer the ability to actually talk to and interact with patrons if they wish to reach out, just because then I know if I’m doing things right or could improve. That said, if there’s somehow some other way to structure things that I may be missing, I’m open to hear about it.
Content wouldn’t be scheduled but posted as it comes out. I think that’d be easier on me than trying to put up huge batches every two weeks and organizing things, put you’d get a near-constant flow of whatever the heck I’m doing that day. (I literally draw 5-6 days a week so unless a major life change happens, I’ll be putting stuff up fairly frequently.)
Please feel free to plug, like to give general interest, or reply for other things you may be interested in that I may have missed.
Thanks in advance! Really excited to see if this is something I could viably set up for ya’ll.
