[Thoughts?] Updates, Sigil Status, Let's Rap~
Added 2016-09-20 00:06:07 +0000 UTCHey y'all, I'm hoping to get some feedback on some things I've been rolling around in my noggin, thanks in advance if I could get some discussion in the comments :)
- Process Videos (Weekly)- I figured out how to edit my recorded streams from the past year into process videos, huzzah! All General Audience videos will be public, posted on YouTube. NSFW videos, however, will be $5+ Patrons only. I've been trying to think of how to get my higher tiers more regular content, and this seems like a good way to do so :)
- Uploading Commissions to Patreon - I've seen some art patreons upload finished commissions as part of their content stream. I am hesitant to do this because I assume y'all are following me at LEAST on Twitter/Tumblr/FA, where I already post commissions. What about sketches? WIPS? I used to do a dump of scans monthly from my sketchbooks. Is that something you'd like to have back?
- Q&A/Patreon Exclusive Google Hangout - This is something Jonathan Vair/Stigmata does in his Patreon, and I've been honored to join him once or twice. Would a monthly voice stream be interesting to my $10+ folks?
- PSD's - Would my 5$+ Patrons be interested in scrubbing through my commission and/or personal work PSD's? I like to do this, but have never been sure if it's interesting for other people.
Otherwise, I've been working on commissions, trying to stay afloat after losing a significant slice of income from a studio shutting down, and just generally back to that sink-or-swim life that comes from being a freelancer.
I'll be at GaymerX at the end of the month, I've been working on staff at that convention for the past few months :)
Thanks again for any discussion and I hope to keep engaging with you awesome folks <3 I can't tell you how much it excites me to get a comment notification from the 40-something people who truly support my work each and every month :)
<3 Sigil

I can't really speak for the PSD question, being totally art-illiterate, but the other options all seem like good ideas, just worry about you having to do too much each month, haha. I do like the idea of your sharing commissions on here though, more specifically the WIPs and sketches! Would assume no comissioner would have a problem with your doing that. The voice chat hangout thingy sounds interesting, but it'd have to be structured in some way to keep a conversation going I assume? Not sure how others have done it, but it sounds good in theory. Would it be recorded and uploaded, or would it be for those who could make it into the chat at a specific time?
