Thinking about adding a (sketch) stream reward

Hello everyone!

Since the new year is coming up, I've been thinking about ways to improve my patreon again. Personally speaking, I like where it's at for the most part, but I feel like I could benefit from more user engagement.

I stopped doing fanart fanpolls last year because it felt like I was always up against a deadline, but in the second half of this year I've had a really good art streak if I do say so myself, largely benefitting from working with an art buffer as well (As we speak, right now there's one finished picture in my buffer and three sketches I mean to work on).

To be sure I don't get back to looming deadlines, I have one twist I want to propose to add to the old fanart fanpoll concept: The fanart fanpoll winner gets drawing during a 3 to 4-ish hour art stream.

So what would the new rewards look like?

Free tier:

The stream itself. This will be planned somewhere in the third or fourth week of the month, depending on my schedule. Will probably be during the (european) evening. Since it's just one stream of 3 to 4 hours, the result might just be a sketch. It might also look very finished. I don't feel confident promising making coloured and shaded work in one stream, but it's happened before.

€2 tier:

Fanart Fanpoll character selection: a poll with proposed characters (see €4 tier). This poll will run for one week, in the second week of the month.

€4 tier:

Fanart Fanpoll character nomination: a thread in which my €4 patrons can suggest characters for the poll. I will give a theme to guide your suggestions. For example, I may ask for milfs, or superhero characters. Out of the nominated characters I will pick the 4 to 5 suggestions that appeal to me most. This thread will be open in the first week of the month

So, what do you think? I'd like to start this in january so we'll get a first go at it soon enough.
