Update/Feedback and Suggestions Wanted!
🕑 Added 2018-06-01 14:19:46 +0000 UTC Hey everyone! This will hopefully not be a too long post about my thoughts on my Patreon, it's future and ideas I have for it.The Pledge Tiers
I've been thinking a lot lately about all the Pledge Tiers I have on my Patreon and what I can possibly do to better them. I feel pretty happy with the $2 Tier, as well as the $5 Tier with it's Sketch Poll and Sketches. Though I have not been able to sketch as much as I wanted in May, which I would like to apologize for. The Patreon Tier I feel like is the most lacking one of them is the $10 one.
The Monthly Character Poll is feeling less and less interesting to do, it gets harder and harder to come up with random characters or themes for the month. And I feel it might have to go. (June's Character Theme will be Witcher 3!) But I would need something to replace it if it does get removed.
Something I've thought about is merging the Monthly Character Poll with Suggest a Character. So instead of me sketching, let's say 3 suggestions a month, I instead sketch 2 and draw 1 of the suggestions in full color?
Suggest a Character is not as big of a problem but still has some. I've been drawing Lineart pretty much instead of sketches as they are supposed to be, which is very time consuming. And I always feel bad when there are sketches I don't have time to draw.
I've also thought about adding a $15 Tier. But quite frankly I'm not sure what I would offer for that tier. The only thing I can think of right now would be move the merged idea of Suggest a Character and Monthly Character Poll up to $15, as one drawing would be full colored which I normally charge 40$ for.
Comics
I do want to make comics someday. Long and short. I just don't know how long it would take me to produce a page, nor what Pledge Tier my Comics would be uploaded to. These comics would be pretty much Patreon exclusive, that I only post on Eka's Portal and Deviantart months after they have existed on Patreon. Maybe posted just a page or two at the time.
I considered $10 to make that tier more interesting, but then if lets say I am only able to make 2 pages a month (I do hope I would be able to make more, it's an example) I doubt that would feel worth it. I do want to continue drawing the single image drawings I have always been doing and I hope making comics doesn't affect how many single image drawings I can make each month too much.
Do I have any plans of what kind of comics I would make? I do have some ideas, most of which are OCs and stuff of my own creation. Some examples would be:
1) Some short comics set in the modern times about my OC's Julya and Gwen and a bunch of other characters, eating or getting eaten. Like the two of them go to the beach or the park and fun stuff happens, leading to big bellies.
2) Another idea I have for comics is a bit more ambitious, maybe too ambitious even, as it would be a series of comics taking place in a medieval fantasy world following a group of adventures. This idea however has a problem other than it's length as in my mind this comic would have everything in it. (F/F, F/M, M/F, Animal/F, Humans, Elfs, Human/animal hybrids, Anthropomorphic character and other races, Oral Vore, Anal Vore, Unbirth, Cock Vore, Digestion, Scat, Micro, Giantess, Expansion, Pregnancy etc.) and I know that's not really for everyone. A very fun and interesting idea in my opinion, but probably too big, at least for now.
Other than those two ideas I could see myself draw comics based on Tv Series/Movies or Games. Which could be anything at all really. I have however not thought too much about what I would draw based on Tv series/movies and games yet.
Other ideas I have
I'm not sure how well liked my stories and writing are. But one idea that could be added to a Tier would be me presenting 2-3 story ideas which the Patreons would then vote on which they want me to write? I have many of Game of Thrones ideas.
Same goes for my manips, I don't really know how well liked they are or if I can use them in someway as part of a Patreon Tier. Though I must admit that part of me doesn't want to as it relies on morphing pictures of actual people.
Another idea I have, that is not really related on what I will post on Patreon as it is animal/F, but I do have an idea for a “series” of sort. “PokeNOM” where I draw first a Pokemon trainer (not existing ones) and their Pokemon. And in the next part the Pokemon has eaten them.
I would LOVE any kind of thoughts/feedback or suggestions about ANYTHING in this post, either down in the comments or PM me!

I think it might be both, sometimes just a story by it self and sometimes a story with a drawing.

It would be great to see more of your writing but would it be just story’s or story’s with artwork. I like the idea ether way

I'm not sure how to balance the tiers, but I would love to read comics made by you, especially with Julya and Gwen! And if you decide to make the fantasy one, I'll read it for the story and some of the lewds, even if there is kinks I'm not a fan of.
