New art tier?
🕑 Added 2022-02-23 17:59:44 +0000 UTCHello everyone! During next month, while my Patreon will be paused, I'll be making some changes to tiers (more on that with a proper post when I actually do it, but the $5 and $15 base tiers will be merged into a $10 tier ---I sadly can't continue making different rewards for different tiers, I'm burnt out TvT), and I was thinking about adding again an art reward tier, but with a twist!
I've seen several Patreon creators offering a tier where you have to pay a much lower than usual price for a chance to get a much more pricier art piece! (ie. the tier is priced at $25, but you can get a commission worth $120)
These types of art tiers are usually either raffle (I pick a random winner amongst supporters of that tier), or rotation (I go in order starting with the first patron who pledged), so in a few months you could get a commission for potentially much less than you'd usually pay for it! (ie. if you win the reward after 3 months of support, it's still $75 you paid vs the $120 the art it's usually priced at)
I would offer a fully shaded halfbody illustration, which is worth €120 ($135ish USD) and usually NOT available for commissions (my current monthly openings are only for sketches), but I'm open to other ideas if you have other art types you'd like to see! I'm just really partial to full stuff bc it's something I usually never offer, so it's both something more achievable for you, and gives me the opportunity to work on actual illustrations more :,3
So what do you think, should I try to introduce this tier type or not? Thanks a lot for your help! <333

I would definitely consider this option, esp with the rotation so everyone who'd like to commission can get a chance to do so. Since it appears 'raffles' are against tos or something and since chance is...well, a chance.

Thanks for the interest and aaah, I'm a dumbass, I had no clue that was a thing D: I follow artists who do this kinda tier (and even support one of them), and I have done raffles in the past without trouble, so I had no idea it was against the ToS;;; it will be proably be something like my old request box then, where patrons have access to the request box and I pick one monthly :,3

Ofc, I plan to have a more proper post once things will get official! Also the base tier will still be there so no worries, this is just an extra thing for my followers who aren't interested in bases ^^ But gosh, thank you so much for the wonderful words of support, they really mean a lot ;w; ♥
DesireeU
Aaah, thanks a lot for your concern, it's super appreciated ;w; I'm not really worried about burnout bc the appeal of this kinda tier is that regardless of how many are subbed, I only have to make one reward (tho I will probably add more winners if there are many supporters to keep it fair and give a chance to everyone). So hopefully it should be fine ahaha x.D thanks a lot! ♥
DesireeU
No worries, the base tier will stay, this is just an extra tier option for those who are not interested in my bases and prefer my art ^^
DesireeU
Aww, thanks a lot for your kind words and compliments u/////u ♥ Yes, this is more aimed to my followers who don't care about bases and would prefer art, I probably don't do enough for that part of followers so hopefully this is a step in the right direction :,3 thanks again! ♥♥♥

Definitely kinda interested - dunno if you should do it on Patreon tho. Patreons ToS is against "raffles [and] other games of chance" >> https://blog.patreon.com/patreons-stance-on-raffles-lotteries-and-giveaways

I'd have to see the full terms of this new tier, but personally I also mostly just patreon for bases. But by all means please do what makes you most comfortable. I'd rather lose bases than lose a great artist in the community.

I'd want to join when I can afford it 😁 You have super pretty stuff! And, honestly, if doing more full pieces is better for your mental health, that alone is worth it.

I would join. I just worry you would get tired and worn down. Maybe try it for three or four people to start? Sorry in know it is not my place. I just don’t want to work yourself too hard to make you sick. :(

I'm personally subbed for bases and to see your commissions or artwork. I'm not sure if I would want to switch tiers or not

I think its a great idea. Personally I am subscribed for your wonderful bases, but I know this tier would be good for others. Your work is stunning.
DesireeU
aaah thanks dear!! absolutely understandable and I'm so very grateful for the support regardless towards the idea ^^ good luck with your studies! <333
DesireeU
thank you so much for the support! it means a lot you like the idea even if you couldn't join <333

I definitely like the idea, I myself probably won't be able to join it, since I'm gonna start studying this year and money will probably be tight then, but I'd still looove to see it happen <3

I really like the idea! I'm not sure if I could join due to kinda tight funds right now, but it seems like a lot of people are onboard~
DesireeU
