Thinking about new reward tiers

There's three new reward tiers I am thinking about. I won't discuss pricing for now, but these are the rewards, and my doubts about them:

Monthly patreon exclusive stream:

Once (or twice) a month I'll do a livestream on picarto.tv that is exclusive to people pledging x amount. It would probably be a 4-6 hour thing all about me taking requests/votes from the audience. Perhaps a QnA too? I don't foresee any problems with this one so it will probably be happening. I think I'll make a test stream for 5$ patrons sometime soon.

Timelapse videos:

I record about 75% of everything I am workingon. Some of those recordings are availible on my picarto streaming page right now.  I want to start giving out speed up versions of those recordings to patrons. BUT I am not sure how to decide what to upload. Making timelapses is a pain in the ass and the time for that I'd rather spend creating new content. So I would have to be selective in what I upload. And I am not sure how to decide. Any suggestions?

Psd/Csp files of comic pages/finished illustrations:

Pretty straightforwards. I often get questions from people about seeing my psd/csp files. Could be useful for artists curious about my layer structure, or for people who want to do edits.

That's it for now. But if you guys have any ideas for other rewards I am open to hearing about them! 

I am thinking about writing more posts about my thought process. They help me figure things out and keep you guys up to speed on what's happening.

There is one thing I would be very very interested in but I don't know how it can become a patreon reward... It's physical books of all your comics (Alfie of course, but the others too). I would definitly buy them or pledge the amount needed to have them. Dunno if it helps. But thank you for asking for our opinion. :)

Honestly, no matter what, you have my support! You are an amazing artist and a really cool person and I just love being apart of the community who keeps you funded and creating when you can :)

PS. Majalis is ”The Majalis Duo” on patreon, very nsfw.

It would be super interesting to be able to vote on some of the pictures you do eg. tier 1 = 1 vote, tier 2 = 2 votes, tier 3 = 4 votes, tier 4 = 8 votes etc. And some of the tiers like maybe 2 and up or 3 and up would be able to give suggestions on which the patrons would vote on, with the most popular being completed every month. Also the votes would not be lost, but stack up, so sticking to one specific pic would eventually grant you that. It could of course be more than one pic/month. You might want to check out Majalis’ patreon, they have extremely good patron tier system.

I think PSD's and streams would be cool. I'd love a Q&A, but you could just do a text one for everyone.

I can confirm I am interested in PSD files , seeing structures of different artist as already helped me improve on mine. Also time-lapse of your work would be nice. Or maybe small videos with tips and tricks. like 2-5 minutes where you talk about one of you work methods or a trick you learned that helped you as an artist (Whether its in your process or in your equipment, software, settings , brushes etc. ) . Of course that is interesting for artists and not really for people that want to see actual art

I really like timelapse videos... Ummm I don't know if you'd be intersted in doing voice over? That can be... hard? But for me artistically timelapse is more helpful than step by step images. I really enjoyed that timelapse you uploaded awhile back

Several of the artists I follow do a monthly request stream. Lots of fans love your CYOAs so I certainly think it would be popular. I enjoy watching your regular streams, so I would consider it. There are a lot of different formats for doing a request stream. I am interested how you would run it. I think time lapse videos would be interesting for images that strongly emphasize particular techniques (like shading) or are particularly elaborate (like the Red Fort page). I am not interested in PSD/CSP files, but there are several artists that follow you, so it may be something people want to check out. Another reward idea that other artists do is a monthly wallpaper/pinup image voted on by folks in X tier.

I'm already on the $5 tier but the stream doesn't interest me. Highest quality images interest me. And an actual option to request commission work interest me.

Florida Traffic

I like the idea of the time lapse. Would also like individual posters (digital) of the Alfie characters.

Jody

As far as recorded material. You can upload the full video to a online storage site like Google drive or MEGA without having to make a time lapse. It's a lot easier and less work over all.

The Great Lionfish

A couple of the other artists I pledge to provide original art / commissions at higher reward tiers - so for $20+ per month I get a hand drawing in the mail or a simple line drawn digital "commission" with me choosing one of his characters and a setting. I get one every three months - so 3×$20 for each one.

DaveWL

Yes for PSD ! (for edit, because I love wallpapers...) But not for the last tiers (aka too expensive) please...

Rork

stream sounds great

MegatronTarantulas

All sounds cool, but honestly none appeal to.me personally

Austin Hicks

I'd like to see different series (Alfie, Pazuri, Orc and Princess, etc.) available in high-res in a comic book reader format. In general I am not really interested in rewards that eat up time. I know steams are popular but for me I will likely never attend one. I have too many things to do and places to be to spend hours watching a steam. That is not a criticism of you, it applies to pretty much all streams.

Puskara

All sound pretty cool

Michael Woods

Definitely interested in the psd stuff, but less for the drawings (which could be interesting for a lot of people here) , but for the layers pictures - balloons - text. It would make translations a lot easier. And the question is if you would upload only future stuff or also the past chapters/pictures.
