Possible updates on this patreon!

I wish I could reply to your comment 🙃 Overall, my take is this: Charge more, you deserve it. Your art is fantastic. I'm primarily here for the NSFW stuff, and I expect it to come at a premium. As long as the price justifies the provided content, I'll be sticking around.

Thank you for your support! :) and really, unless you are especially interested in the nsfw pieces, I really don't expect any more, so I wouldn't blame anyone for not picking it. I'm not trying to make everyone pay more right now, just figuring out how can I increase the pledge on the nsfw while still keeping it fair

Yshanii

Really appreciate the support, Mahziel! <3 It's all still being debated though, going down with the price a bit and offering more advantages~ I will post updates on the idea in a couple days and we'll see where it goes from there

Yshanii

Thought I'd go from that 20 to 15, yet I would still try to add as many advantages as possible cause its still quite a lot of money. Time lapses were on my to-do list but it will probably start with the $5 tier. Exclusive comm slots, including nsfw comms are also another thing that I thought of after debating it all with a few people :) Suggestions are very much appreciated so thank you!

Yshanii

I think $20 is a bit steep for a NSFW tier unless there's a significant amount of content on there. $10-$15 is usually what I see with other creators. A $20 tier usually includes exclusive comm slots, early access to comms, or additional RAW files or time-lapses. I'm all for you charging more though. Especially if there's going to be more are more frequently :)

Aphelion

I picked the $5 option more because it was the bigger of the support Yshanii options available (without being a huge difference). I haven't put any thought into how much more I would put beyond that.

Mahziel

I mostly subscribe to your Patreon for the SFW artwork. So I have no problem with a $20 tier for NSFW, but I probably wouldn't pick it. I'd be perfectly happy continuing to pay $5 (or maybe even a bit more) for SFW-only art.

Some people use Google Docs Forms and RNG to sort out the entrants

Way better. I just want to be able to keep enjoying your work

OUF just did some research and apparently patreon doesn't allow lotteries/ raffles.. HUH Well the only similar option that I can think of is simply taking requests qwq

Yshanii

How might a lottery work if you were to do a system like that?

Jonathan

There is no such thing as overstepping, I wanted to talk to you all about it before jumping into it, and hear your points of view! You are right though, and I already thought about going for 15 instead of 20 (just MIGHT) be lowering it a bit more. As about the benefits, you are completely right, there should be more, especially because I don't do nsfw as much as everything else. So far I thought I would also exclusively accept NSFW commissions, but a lottery might actually be a really good idea! Could go for a few every month. And letting people chose the characters I'll be drawing, the poses, etc. How does that sound?

Yshanii

You're not wrong, and I thought about that. I will most likely lower it at least to 15, still figuring it out. Think that'll be better?

Yshanii

Nothing to correct you about! It's mainly opinions, and to be fair i kind of agree, although i'd probably offer the commission priority starting with the 5$ tier, and take NSFW comms exclusively from the 20$ tier patrons... that I will call a 15$ tier for now, yea, maybe 20 is a bit much XD

Yshanii

To be honest, I’m kinda maxxed out between you and my other favorite artist. Not that i can’t afford life otherwise, but too much more and I’d have to rethink things. I want to support my favorite artists because i love your work and want to support its growth, but not if it means going broke myself. In truth, one of the main reasons i joined your highest tier is because i love the way you draw characters’ privates, not to mention to give you support. But i don’t know if i can justify spending 20 bucks to see naughty bits. I’m not against you having a $20 tier, bit maybe have the NSFW tier be something more like $7 or $10, and at $20 (or even $30) offer extras, like a lottery where the winner gets a monthly art request or something. But my point is, there should be a fair middle ground price too, not just a tiny and a big amount. that way people who want to support you more don’t have to shell out more than they can afford. I hope that makes sense, and i hope i didn’t overstep myself. I really love and appreciate your art and i really do want to support you

Kinipshun

I understand where you’re coming from about not wanting to be know for NSFW art, so I respect you upping the tier like that. But going from 5$ to 20$ is a bit much especially if you won’t even be drawing NSFW nearly as often as what comes in the other tiers. That’s not to say I’m against your changes though I think you should do it if that’s what makes you most comfortable, and if I may recommend something I think adding in that the 20$ tier will be notified early if you plan to do commissions again at any point. I know I would like to have an advantage at your next set of commissions so that would spice the tier up. But feel free to correct me if I’m misunderstanding something.

Jonathan

I’m not on the nsfw tier myself, but $20 seems a bit much. I think you’d end up with nobody seeing it.
