End of the Year/ Future of the Patreon
Added 2024-12-02 21:59:52 +0000 UTCHow are you guys doing? It's the end of the Year and I kinda want to talk to you guys about the direction of my patreon. Currently I offer,
• Full resolution images
• Work in progress
• Time-lapse's
• NCGOTM ( pick 1 girl from a choice of 4 and I'll draw 4 images of them)
What more could I offer? what is something I can take away if you guys don't really care for? What if I was to up the minimum tier to include more then just full resolution images? What if I make a higher tier that includes making comics? If you can provide some feedback I would appreciate and if you have any ideas please voice them in the replies

I agree that the NCGOTM are aimless with the way that I've been doing them. Giving them a story or a narrative seems to be something we all agree on. There being a "theme" is a good idea but a tricky one if only because I don't want the choices to be beholden by the theme. When it comes to a higher tier that includes me drawing a character of a members choice, that just feels like I'm drawing a commission and I would have to think about that. The girl of the month could have been members choice, but I chose against that. I instead went with the compromise of giving 4 options (I just pick at random from a reference folder I have that's 2228 (and growing) images deep) and ultimately giving you guys the final say in who I would draw for the month.

2024-12-10 21:36:26 +0000 UTCI agree that maybe the NCGOTM is kinda aimless. If we could have a theme, or a mini-story like a comic could be really a plus. Even if it's just "sucking his soul out" and post 4 images of Raven draining Cyborg. Having it be connected / a story could really improve the choice. Also maybe because it's better to have a choice base on the theme. The theme is "anal"? then maybe going with an ass heavy character would improve the concept. Going "dinner date" maybe a character that has a famous dinner dress (Example Frankie Foster and her black dress) could go crazy with that concept. You could offer to higher maybe a choice to input a single character in the poll. Or even higher tiers to have monthly drawn sketches. Or a high (new) tier where you monthly pick a random winner for a full res image. That's more work yes, but i think it's going to pay out.

2024-12-09 13:38:49 +0000 UTCYep! For example, your La Brava (Love Lover same difference 🤫) NCGOTM is in contention for the best one because it feels like there’s some sort of continuity to it You used the first panel to show her off and then dedicated the last 4 to her actually doing things that felt connected If you only wanna draw 4 images for the NCGOTM then cut out the “presentation” panel at the beginning and do a 4 picture comic instead. Less work for you if you feel like drawing 4 pictures instead of 5 haha Oh another suggestion I have is adding more text if you plan on doing comics! I always felt like the text in your Raven/Cyborg art added to the whole thing and strengthened their dynamic I think that’s one of the main reasons why they’re the face of your art! That and you draw them really well lol

2024-12-03 05:37:40 +0000 UTCACTUAL CONSTRUCTIVE THANK YOU! so what I'm hearing from you is more one off drawings and give the NCGOTM some direction instead of 4 random images maybe a comic instead

2024-12-03 02:36:20 +0000 UTCOne thing I’ll say is while I enjoy the system you currently have there are quite a few things that I think would significantly improve the quality/value of the Patreon For one, the NCGOTM’s are currently kind of… aimless? It’s a collection of well drawn but completely random images of a character with no theme I think a comic that flows from one page to the next would be a huge step up from what you provide now! The art is there it just lacks direction (which you’ve shown you can do, just look at your Street Fighter comic it was really good) Other than that uhh maybe more one off drawings? From what I’ve seen you maybe release one or two pieces a month and then build up to the NCGOTM at the end. Though that likely has to do with your current speed/skill which you can’t change overnight lol That’s about as much constructive criticism as I can provide! I hope you don’t take any of this the wrong way as I really enjoy your work!
