Welp
Added 2022-10-26 04:50:45 +0000 UTCI just found out that the suggestion of the month mechanic is against Patreon's user guidelines. (My apologies there, In my defense I followed the event as honest as I could)
While writing this, I've been brainstorming few ideas or mechanics that may work to replace the reward of said tier:
Before continue, I want to leave clear a couple of things:
Tiers of Level 3 (Participant) and Long time suporters are the ones that can suggest art or the direction of some pieces.
Level 2 (Observer) can take part in some votings, but
1) I feel the voting might work, but I would merge it in a single poll per month (so both NSFW and SFW would remain in the tier), The issue here is that people would end trying to request what they think others may want instead of what they truly want.
2) Another approach is to let a voting on suggestions that are on deviantArt on the latest suggestions waves: Me trying to tackle regular ideas, but also let people pick which ideas to make/put that on voting, while the ideas might be more limited, basically anyone (who I haven't banned on dA or haven't banned from taking part in suggestions events) can suggest having an event a bit more open to everyone. Cons are that said art would end being Patreon's exclusive piece for 1-3 months.
Those who can suggest art would be able to pick/suggest the pieces to be made, and a poll would decide which ones I must draw
3) Next idea could be something like what I did on a live stream but using a voting: I suggest few subjects for the month or offer some sketches. You all can suggest a character for said themes or drawing. A voting proceeds and winners are used for the pic.
- Some stuff here to keep things balanced is that the piece would be Smooth shaded or cell shaded (Depending on the amount of characters it has)
- Winners would require a cool down (Might be more than 1 in some cases, example, the theme could be statues and having few girls petrified), or Battle and having 2-3 gals in said theme.
- Themes could be suggested a month prior and people from the Observer tier can vote here as well.
4) Sketchorama (Which currently is letting people suggest a sketch of 1 character, however having the drawing made requires a cool down) could be upgraded:
- 2 characters and the piece is (at least) sketched
- 1 character and the idea is (at least) flat colored
- Still requires a month of cool down
5) Another thing might be some sort of mix of things:
- Keep sketchorama, maybe up to 3 characters.
- The Next month a poll is held alongside the sketchorama pieces.
- The winners (likely at least 2-3) get polished into a better piece or something with alts.
- However, the base cool down becomes of 2 months
- (Observer tier can vote here BTW)
These are the ideas I have at the moment.
Do you have some other idea that might work?
Which ideas would you prefer?
