Possible new milestone and patrons rewards?
🕑 Added 2015-10-24 00:01:11 +0000 UTC In an effort to always bring my patrons more bangs for their bucks, and because the new milestone is a long way. I had been thinking about a new milestone between the current one and the double update one, but it had to be a milestone that wouldn't give me more work than simply double updating would. In the end I came up with this: Bonus page progression bar!Now that I've done a few fullcolor pages, I can confirm a single page is worth on average 150$ (15hrs x10$/hrs wage), so the new milestone would be at 600$, and from there, at the end of each month, each $ above the 600$ milestone would make the bonus page progression bar go up, and at each 150$ there would be an extra fullcolor page made. So if the patreon is at 610$, it would take 15 months to get a bonus page, but if the patreon is at 750, every month you would get a bonus page, so 5 page a month instead of 4, and so on for each extra 150$ until we simply reach the double update milestone. I will draw a cute progression bar and update it each month as well :P
Oh, also, those bonus pages wouldn't increase the update rate outside of patreon, so everyone here pledging 1$ and up will get REALLY ahead of what's out there!
Now for the patron rewards, there is one thing I want to do, and one thing I can do, if you all seem interested.
-What I want to do, is a proper character sheet of every character past, present and future, in fullcolor, with interesting tidbits, That'd be bonus content for the 5$ tier and up.
-What I can do, if you seem interested, is second prizes for the idea contests on 20$ tier and up! First prize is a fvt-related picture of your choice, as usual, but second price would be a "Your Character Here" picture. Basically, I would produce a bunch of different scenes, most of them naughty, of course, but with a blank space for a character of your choice. Those picked for the second prize could pick one of the scenes, and ask any fvt character, or even their own Original character, to be drawn in the scene. Due to the layer magic of photoshop, the scenes would have variations as well, such as lighting mood, the amount of orifices used, and used by what, that sorts of thing. Once the sets of scenes are created, this would be very easy to draw and work with, and I feel its a good compromise between a full commission and, well, no prize at all. I felt the 20$ tier was kinda boring, so hopefully a second prize possibility along with the chance of being picked twice, makes it more interesting.
None of this is set in stone yet, which is why I'm posting this, I want to hear your opinion, so whadaya think?

I could do that, I don't have a problem with it. It's true that I was counting by adding a bonus to each tier, but technically the x2 chances is already a bonus in itself, but if there's two possible prize, it kinda mean you have twice the chances of getting anything at all. So yeah I could make it work like that. I'll have to set my stuff up quickly for this coming month tho

Hrm, what reason would this give to stay at $10 tier? Seems like alternating 5/5/20 would give a higher chance of winning something if you added the secondary raffle. I’d suggest replacing 2x chance of winning with 1x chance + the secondary raffle for $20 or more. That's still a much higher chance of winning something than they currently have. Maybe grandfather clause people who are already $20 tier to avoid them being unhappy (2x chance for those already at that tier). $30 could remain 2x chance $10 + 1x chance $20 raffle + questions without alternation issues, I think.

i like the idea im game =)
If you are referring to my proposed system, 5$ would get access to the full colors, finished pictures anyway, as they get access to all bonus content, but only the higher tier would get a chance to be picked and choose the scene they want their character in.

How about two character *sketches* per month for $5 tier and full color versions for $10 tier?

Yes, the $1100 milestone is to far away now for anybody too stretch for having shorter steps makes sense. Add the bonus at higher levels. Might do it myself, She need a break : <a href="http://checkitweb.com/hazop/work.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://checkitweb.com/hazop/work.htm</a>

I like these ideas and am game for it.
User sir, should go into marketing, because that is a good way of getting the lower tears into higher tiers. You got my vote.
