Patreon Restructuring Poll
Added 2023-05-22 16:19:29 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
So, a lot of colleagues and some Patrons of mine have suggested that I restructure my Patreon content to avoid burn-out. The current idea being tossed around is cutting back to one pin up and one comic a month so that I can experiment with other content/ longer form story telling (ie comic strips, webcomics, Paycomics, more Visual Novel work with CinSwitch which would all still be posted to my Patreon) But as always, you're my Patrons, and none of this would be possible without you, and frankly I'm terrified of making any changes to what has been working well so far.
So I'd like to take a poll to gauge interest in restructuring. Please vote "Yes" if you'd still support me if I cut back on the voted content to focus on original work, or "No" if less content per month would be a deal breaker.

Do what's right for your own sanity first, your art second. You have brought me so much joy, I will always support you!

2023-05-22 22:24:34 +0000 UTCI think it's clear that the amount of content put out doesn't mean we'll support you any less! You've been outputting such an insane level of quality for a while now, and I've been uber happy to support you, as have others, but your mental health, and just health in general, should come way before your art, and if your friends feel cutting back on the amount of work you do to avoid complications that may arise in the future, while you also get to work on more content you'll enjoy doing for yourself, it's definitely worth a shot.

2023-05-22 21:50:12 +0000 UTCI have mixed feelings about this. I like the current layout because it gives more opportunities for people to get their ideas selected. The Discord gets a lot of buzz at the start of the month due to people coming up with new concepts. I would be willing to give the new system a shot although I think it would be a good idea to have some policies in place to ensure people have a fighting chance? For example, maybe the winner can abstain from entering a suggestion next month? That being said, it is also important to look after you health and wellbeing too. If this change helps you to continue delivering great stuff then I say go for it. I know you won't disappoint regardless of what you choose.

2023-05-22 19:37:39 +0000 UTCI'll be completely honest, I love your content, but the voted ideas are the big draw for me. Seeing ideas brough to life by your pen where what brought me here. However, that shouldn't come at personal expense. I'd have to actually see how any change plays out to make a decision, but whatever happens, I'm sure it's the right choice for you.
