Do you think there should be cooldown cycles?

Do you think that there should be some sort of cool down for people that win commission slots in streams/openings?
Example: Client 1 wins a raffled slot on stream 1 in the month, so in stream 2, they're not able to apply for another slot, until stream 3

It makes me feel bad to not allow someone to apply for commissions, but I also notice that some people get reoccurring commissions, and others haven't even been able to get one, so I want to try to figure out a way so that people who haven't gotten a commission yet get more of a better chance.

Also thought of also refreshing the Titanium tier pledges so that others can have a chance, and it's not the same people holding the slots forever

Feel free to drop any ideas or opinions if you've seen artists doing something similar!

Comments

For some reason, it looks like Patreon removed my comment completely. I'll try to summarize my thoughts to make it a bit more concise. I agree with having a cooldown on In-Stream/Normal Commissions to allow for a greater opportunity for everyone to get artwork. I feel like this would be the most fair route to take in this regard. As far as the Titanium Tier goes, I also agree that supporters of that tier should be refreshed, in my opinion, every three months. This gives more people the chance to support you at a higher tier for that guaranteed sticker slot. When you combine this with the chances to get stickers in-stream as well, I feel like it works out for everyone. For the reasons mentioned in previous comments, I also agree that the cost of that tier should definitely be increased. Telegram stickers are a hot commodity, a status symbol, and people should compensate you appropriately for the high demand and for the guarantee. To that I end, I feel like $50-$65 for each Titanium slot is more than fair. To have people camp those slots for 6+ months in order to get a complete set of stickers is untenable, and will ultimately lead to less people having that opportunity on a per-year basis.

I just saw above that you actually hate doing stickers so maybe a better idea would be to up Titanium's prices and make it a guaranteed sketch slot each month but you can only have it for three months? I feel like that would give more chances for everyone to get art from you and you won't have to draw stickers you hate. <3

15 months might be a bit much, but I definitely think that a set of six stickers is too small. Most sticker sets are at 9-12 and Enro gave you 3 if you picked them in his streams. Your second idea is very interesting since the duration of squatting the slot seems to be the biggest heartburn. If he charged 65 dollars (or more, since you pay for the guarantee) for the T tier and gave you three stickers a month or the other options (sketch or icon), then you'd have your full set in 3-4 months and you could drop so that the next batch could roll in. The challenge (as you've already noted) is that Enro hates drawing stickers. I dunno if he'd be up to loading himself up with up to 12-15 stickers a month if everyone picked the same option. Additionally, with the suggested price and reward changes, how would that work? Would those currently on T get grandfathered for another 3-4 months if we want to pay the additional price or would it be a clean sign-up?

I'm fine with what Jenna suggested, however on the Titanium tier; it's been about 4 months? If you're considering to refresh it and don't want the same people holding the slots forever, 15 months is a bit bizarre imo, unless 5, or initially supposed to be 4 people switching out every year and 3 months sounds fair with giving other people a chance lol. 5-6 sounds more reasonable as far as accommodating to other people whilst still allowing for a collection. Considering you've said you don't like doing stickers, it at least allows you to draw a different character sooner since I assume most are trying to get them all of the same char. Another idea possibly could be to increase the price of Titanium and offer the choices of your in-stream options or stickers if desired so that there's more of a selection. Cycling this maybe faster than above mentioned. BUT, just food for thought really and good luck on deciding!

Personally, I've been wanting to get an icon or a non-stream commission from you... but for me, it feels a bit greedy? taking that from someone else cause I'm already getting art from you each month. That's just MY outlook on it. For Titanium, I think you should get 15 months on and then you're off. 15 stickers feels like a complete set at 450 bucks per slot. More feels greedy, less feels like you'd be restricted to the basic emotions. I don't think you should be eligible to get back on Titanium once you've already got yours.

That way they’re not necessarily forced to wait till the next stream IF there’s open slots

Perhaps let people who haven’t had a chance to get a commission have the first chance to get one during streams, etc. Then if there are still open slots allow people who have recently commissioned to have the opportunity ^^
