Scheduling Art Question

Destiny Wolf

I like the benefit feeling if I get to see new art first and for those who aren't Patreons, a week isn't that much depending on how much advertisment you do... I don't like to get my inbox on FA spammed with all those "Hey I got NEW art but Only on Patreon!" images ^^!

If you want to share something first, then just stick with "WIPs", that is enough in my opinion.

Latio

i really dont care, i want support you because of your awesome drawings and not for "benefits" :D (and i have learned much from you too :P (drawing etc.))

I'm here for the high Quality, not for being an early bird ^^

I feel it defeats the point of Patreon, even though I love to help you with your art.

Erin

Same !

Triss

I am here to support your work, I don't actually care if I see things first.

early patreon release is totally reasonable even if you don't intend to pay wall your work, it's a small benefit for supporting, although just a tip jar patreon is fine too if you wish to release at the same time!

As others have said, the early-access will incentivize more people to support you. HD sizes are fantastic, and I'm happy to support you in order to get them, but I've met a lot of people who are perfectly happy with the tiny FA pictures. Early access to the images might convince some of them to support you.

I think a one week delay is pretty fair, considering some artists delay public releases by two weeks or even a month (and sometimes not at all). In that context, a one week delay is pretty minimal.

I do a 2 week delay myself. Not sure if that's standard or anything, that's just the duration I chose for me.

Honestly im happy not to get a benefit as i like to see your work but i would say if you do want to make a wide appeal to your patreon is to time gate content or to only post nsfw version to patreon. It seems especially potent if you time gate nsfw comics as people would rather pay and see like 2-3 pages ahead =)

I have no vote. I'm good with either. I'm here because your art is all in one place, I get notified when there's new content or messages, and I'm able to throw you a few bucks each month.

To me, the benefit of being a patron is just that i get to support your work, because i think there should be more of it in the world. But i can understand others wanting a little something-something. It might be possible to find other benefits, even if it's not as common

Posting your content after X amount of time gives more incentive for potential patrons to join. It's worth it monetarily, and will also make us patron members feel more inclined to stay supportive!

Personally I think patreon-only release and then public release a week or so after makes the most sense
