Patreon - Testing The Waters by farorenightclaw

So i'm thinking i might create a Patreon. Perks for contributing would include seeing WIPs, tutorials, commissions discounts, and possibly a monthly randomized drawing for a free commission to one of my supporters (if it can be done that way; more research required). It would also enable me to work more on my own art, create more of what i love and what you love to see. Is there any interest in this? Let me know if you'd consider becoming a patron!

EDIT: i've decided that, due to a number of reasons, Patreon is not for me at this time. However i do still plan to consider it in the future, so please still let me know if you're interested!

    What's Patreon?

    • Link

      A website that allows you to pay a small amount (say $1, $5, or $10 monthly) to an artist in exchange for various rewards.

        Ah, so it's like Subbable?

        • Link

          i suppose! i've never heard of that one X)

          • Link

            I know of that one b/c that's what CrashCourse uses.

    Considering the amount of ads for it lately, I'm completely turned-off to it whatever it is. It's over-marketed, and that usually means they expect you to pay a lot of money for little in return. I'm all for support arts, but now paysites.

      Gah, typos. =P Too much time in Asia. I'm all for supporting the arts, but not paysites.

      It's literally $1 per month/project at the cheapest. i wasn't aware 'over-marketing' was a thing.

        Over-saturated advertising can be a bad sign that a company is not well run and has a higher-than-sane profit margin.

          Or that it's desperate for business and/or not doing well. The best advertisement is word-of-mouth and these days the best way to make that happen is viral marketing. If the site/system/product is good then people will talk about it and promote it for you.
