Important Question to All of you
Added 2020-07-27 23:03:18 +0000 UTCso.. im kinda shaking and worried as i write this cuz i dont want to make anyone upset and angry. But for my sake and im not saying im doing this now or soon, well, depends on responses i get but anyway
lets say i wanted to use patreon or a different site i wanna move to someday as a tip jar instead for those who want to support me for the work i put out publicly and no longer 'exclusive' meaning
i want to make all work i do public, but if anyone wants to they can support me here or elsewhere to gain access to the images in higher res.
im so stressed and forcing myself to keep up with a pace i cant keep up with at all and its gonna land me in the hospital if i dont change the pace soon. the constant thinking of 'oh god what should i do next for patreon, what should i do next for the public, what about commissions i have to do those im nearly broke, but i never have the enrgy to work on many at once' is killing me. it really is. im constantly tired just from thinking about what to do next cuz i dont wanna disappoint anyone and i wanna make sure ur money is spent without regretting it. patreon is a humongous help for me without it i literally wouldnt be able to get by as much. but theres also the constant stress of trying to keep up and make sure im posting here as much as possible while also trying to grow my twitter platform so i can GAIN more potential commissioners or patreon supporters but its not becoming an easy task at all.
i think im rambling too much, i think y'all get the point so now the question is
Would you support an artist on patreon or any other sub based platform just for them to put work out publicly?
i feel the urge to draw more if i can let the public view it becuz i want ppl to see and enjoy what i made along with me. but i know for sure ppl dont want to spend money on someone if theres nothing excitingly exclusive for them in return. i could be wrong who knows. but i will still keep higher res images as a patreon/gumroad only thing if thats ok with you and if i do ever make animations i'll keep that patreon only as well at least.
Edit: Alt images i will keep exclusive only, id prolly just show 1 alt image alongside a drawing to the public and keep the rest exclusive.
