September art requests for the $5 tier!
Added 2019-09-07 19:09:12 +0000 UTCThis month, I'm getting an early-ish start on soliciting some art requests from the fine folks in the "Golden cookie jar" Patreon tier! All 54 of you $5 Patrons* have a rather outsized impact on my monthly total, so I figured I might as well give you a separate post to make your suggestions for topics. Fire away!
As before, down in the comments section below, feel free to suggest any characters, intellectual properties, or situations that you'd like to see me draw during the rest of the month, as time allows.
The resulting sketch sets will almost certainly be in the Procreate art app, as it looks like this week has seen the final demise of my old analog-pencil art technique. (My wrist is still burning after one g-d life-drawing session with 5B leads a day ago.) Gotta redouble my efforts to familiarize myself with working digitally, looks like!
Working in Clip Studio is the endpoint, I think, but I don't yet have a proper set-up to run that program; need to invest in a serious PC and a big ol' Cintiq, first. Might make that a Patreon goal, come to think of it!
*Should be noted that I'm nosing around $20 or higher tiers, but haven't yet figured out what further benefits those could entail. Guaranteed art requests, maybe? A cameo in my next comic? (That one's complicated by the problem that I don't know when or what my next book might be.) I'm already sinking a lot of time into this Patreon as is, so I'd have difficulty tacking on another time-intensive feature... Hrmm.

On the way!

2019-09-14 18:29:05 +0000 UTCHey, don't sweat it, as I certainly don't expect very many folks to go for a $20 tier. And I did wind up doing some DiD tests with Emp's suit, as you might've seen. (The sparkles work, but the rest not so much.)

2019-09-14 18:28:15 +0000 UTChttps://tinyurl.com/y4j4fwrw https://wot.fandom.com/wiki/Lanfear Lanfear's most noted physical characteristic was her astonishing beauty - she was said on multiple occasions to be one of the most beautiful women who had ever lived. Rahvin said that her presence was enough to make Graendal look only 'plumply pretty',[1] and Graendal herself was accounted an incredibly beautiful woman. She was also stated by Rand al'Thor to have made any of the three women he loved, Elayne Trakand, Elmindreda Farshaw, and Aviendha, appear almost ordinary. She was quite tall, a little more than a hand shorter than Rand al'Thor, and had smooth, ivory-pale skin with long black hair and black eyes. She typically wore a white dress, divided for riding, with a silver belt. Her boots also had silver worked onto them.

2019-09-11 00:19:41 +0000 UTCI will be silly and ask my fellow Patrons. I want to pick another Wheel of Time Lady to ask for DiD art of, who do you suggest that we should pick now that Adam was great and did Moiraine!
Eric
2019-09-09 18:50:58 +0000 UTCI'd agree here. A limited number of slots, maybe "easy sketch" at a cheaper price and "full lineart" slightly more expensive.

2019-09-08 03:10:05 +0000 UTCHope your wrist feels better! I'd love to see Emma Frost trying to give Emp lessons in self-confidence and thanks kindly for the previous request choice. :)

2019-09-08 01:59:49 +0000 UTCI'd love me some more Hushed Half-Elf, especially of the two lovers. As for higher tiered rewards, you have to price and limit it accordingly. Say you wanted to test the guaranteed request, make maybe 1-3 slots at $20+ and see how that goes. You could close at tier at anytime, if you feel like you can't full-fill it in a coming month (just give people a heads up so they can change their pledges).

2019-09-07 21:28:33 +0000 UTCAgreed that you should be careful about the budgeting for guaranteed rewards. Would love to see Rain Mikamura from G Gundam.

2019-09-07 20:43:59 +0000 UTCI'd recommend limiting your Patreon specific rewards like guaranteed sketches, as those end up being commissions which can weigh on your mind every month. I see it a lot from other artists, they usually regret offering options like that on their own Patreons. If you *are* gonna offer something like that, please consider kicking it up to something that is actually worth your time and added stress. Something like a 50-75 dollar tier.

2019-09-07 20:32:26 +0000 UTCI'd be interested in seeing some non-DiD cheesecake Emp, with a mostly intact suit, with the excuse that it gives you some time figuring out how that suit shading oughta work in digital form. Should be interesting whether or not the attempt works out! Not sure if I'd be able to bite on a $20 tier, at least not at the moment because I'm in the UK and the exchange rate is absolutely tanked so I really have to watch what I spend overseas.

2019-09-07 20:09:28 +0000 UTCAs I’ve seen other artist do on Patreon, you might want to consider limiting the number of $20 tiers, especially if you do any guaranteed art. As for my request this month Jean Grey as the Black Queen DiD, but only so long as you feel up to it. Your health is more important any request I have. Take care!

2019-09-07 19:44:32 +0000 UTCSucks to hear about your health problems. If you think about a guaranteed art requests tier, make it worth your while. As for this months request, Power Girl DiD.
