Addressing your feedback on my Patreon
🕑 Added 2019-02-01 15:21:05 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Earlier this week I asked you to give me feedback on how I can improve my Patreon. In this post I'll be addressing the changes I plan to make according to the most popular requests.
1. "More image packs/more characters per month"
This is by far the most popular request; however, it conflicts with the third most popular which is "more variations per image pack." It would obviously be of better value to my patrons if I make more images every month. Unfortunately, my time is limited so I can only focus on one of these requests without wearing myself out. This leads to a poll I did in the past asking whether my patrons preferred more characters vs. more variations, and there was a clear winner:
Since both polls point towards "more characters" being the popular choice, I will place more focus on creating unique image sets than variations.
2. "Higher/more chances of having my suggested character drawn" + "More less-popular characters"
Alot of people also expressed the desire to see more less-popular characters. My plan is to give diamond tier the opportunity to get their characters drawn even if they did not win the poll. The selection will mainly be based on how long they have been my patron and if they've been picked before.
In addition, this reward will replace the extra-vote and primary poll for diamond tier. The reasoning behind this is, I noticed that after the results have been determined in the primary poll, they don't change much (if at all) during the final. Therefore if this plan goes into effect, my patreon will revert to a single poll per month in which all tiers can participate. I believe this will make things fairer and more efficient for everyone.
3. "More original designs"
I'm happy people are enjoying my original designs so I'll try to include more every month :)
4. "Another form of art such as animation, comics or games"
I definitely want to make a comic very soon, just unsure if I should include it in this patreon or make a separate one for it. Animations are something I've been interested in on and off but I need to make sure they're quality enough before I start including it in rewards. I definitely want to make a game- I already have an idea in mind- however that takes a lot of planning and I need much more time before bringing it to fruition.
5. To give my patrons some extra exclusivity, I'll start posting images in the private patreon feed a few days before they go up in public, and giving diamond tier some art that will not be posted publicly at all.
Thanks to everyone who provided feedback, I want to continue improving my service going forward <3 I'm planning to put these changes into effect starting from this month's image pack (they won't affect the art I made in January). Feel free to let me know if these sound good or if you have any concerns.
