Hey everyone! I know that I've been writing too many posts about updates and my personal problems...
I'm sorry about that; I like to keep an open channel with you, I believe this can avoid some awkward issues.
--
But now I need to talk about something really serious. I'm REALLY exhausted, and this is getting on my nerves. It's scary. By the end of the month, I'll have to do your sketches, all my due commissions, emojis, comics, etc.
I really need to take care of my patreon; right now it's as a mess as a facebook page.
--
I need to take care of the "sketch reward". It requires a great ammount of time and...unfortunately, I'm not getting a good income, considering the quality of my work.
I don't want to sound high and almighty, it's something that lots of people told me recently about my prices and the quality of sketch that I offer, let it be in here, on FA or in random streams.
I know that by changing this I may lose some of you...it's sad, but it's something that I need to do.
I've been speaking with some friends to find an answer to this problem, and now these are some options. I'd love to know what you think of it.
--
1. Raise the donation price to get a sketch reward
2. Reduce the number of slots of people who can get a sketch reward
3. Keep up the number of sketch reward slots or even open up more slots; however, only 5 of my patreons would get a monthly sketch for reward (the results would be provided by a lottery)
4. Fewer rewards for the $2 supporters and more rewards for the others
--
About this last one, here's an example:
$2 Rewards:
- Early access to my artwork
- Access to my comics in a sketch-phase
- Notices about future YCH projects and commissions
- Sketch commissions will be sold for $25, depending on my schedule.
--
$10 Rewards:
- Early access to my artwork
- Access to my comics (finished artwork)
- Notices about future YCH projects and commissions
- Special spot for commissions (you'll get first in line for me to do)
- Sketch commissions will be sold for $20
- After 5 months of contribution you'll earn a sketch
- $15 discount on YCH projects
--
I intend to use the comic to invigorate things over here as well. I believe that I need to change, since this needs to be a fun and valuable experience for you all and for me as well.
Here are some privileges that you already have, but some of you may have forgotten:
- $15 discount on YCH
- $15 discount with commissions
- Special line for you in my commission list
- Only you can purchase sketches out of events like my sketch stream
- I take up way more seriously your opinions than of those said back at FA
- For the moment, my comics will be restrict to my Patreons. If by any chance I'll post the pages on other places, I'll let you know beforehanded.
--
Finally, but not least important:
I've lost a follower over here because of the nipples that I draw. I think that I may have done some images that you didn't approve at all, since I've been following this personal passion of mine (huge nipples/pecs).
I'd like to know what you all think about this, if you approve my drawings, if you're bothered too with the huge nipples. I honestly like to do them like this, it's a personal freedom and taste.
Also, since I didn't knew if you'd approve them, that required from me a great deal of self-confidence.
--
Sorry for the long post. And I'll wait for your replies, guys!
Thanks for all of your support!

obrigado por traduzir tudo Kiel

Yes, you already told me everything.

Mr.Cores

I understand modjo, I'll avoid doing it again. thanks

Mr.Cores

exellent question. I have to think about it.

Mr.Cores

I will make this simple and sweet. You know my opinion already. I still pledge 20 a month to you as it is so it no problem for me. I told you to keep me at that level because your art is worth it. I have already talked to you about everything else on here so you know what my opinion is. ....Didn't i already say that?

A cost increase for sketches seems reasonable, as others pointed out it ultimately depends on the new price. Changing the sketch tier does also have issues as others have pointed out as if a new tier is made or number of spots go down it becomes a free for all of who happens to get them first whether they were previously pledging for a sketch or not. In the end you'll still have the number you desire, but can definitely upset people that lose out. Raffles aren't anything I personally am interested in. Patreon also has some strange rules on raffles so I would be cautious (technically it is gambling). As far as the nipples go, I think that's just part of your artstyle. If folks don't like it then they're free to not commission or leave. However, I will say at times you do take some more liberty with things that one would expect by adding features/details to characters that were not part of the reference or design.

I'd gladly pay whatever price you wanted for the monthly sketch pics. I'm already donating 15$. Buuuuuuut. Even though I hate the idea of losing the free sketches each month. A raffle would for 10$ a pop would be financially a much better decision. But if you do just decide to just raise the price for the free art. Will the people already giving 10$ a month for the drawings get the chance to reserve a slot of the newly raised prices? Or is it first come first serve?

Sent a message, hope some of the insight helps~

Waffle

thank you for your opinion Elaz, and thanks again for like my work, I hope to surprise you even more.

Mr.Cores

ps: thanks for like the nipples that I design. I'm glad you like it, thank you ... thank you. (Recently I received a lot of criticism, some patreons left saying: nipples you do make me uncomfortable ... good to know that someone like the nipples that I design is something incredible..)

Mr.Cores

I think your anatomy is really great, so I don't see any problems there! About the patreon awards, I think that either raising the price or making the award a discount on a sketch instead of a free one would work fine! Either way I'd be happy to continue my pledge!

Elaz

Just tackling these in the order presented 1) Depends on how much it's raised 2) I'm assuming this also comes with #1 because there's currently 10 people at your highest tier 3) Not into lotteries or raffles at all 4) No opinion As far as the privileges go where exactly is that special line? Finally please don't stop with the nipples and pecs. tl;dr price increase is a-ok
