Discord Server and new Rewards

Finally figured out what I wanted to do with the rewards... Well, at least somewhat. I've added 3 more tiers in addition to the $1 tier for early access.



Tier 2 - allows for Discord Server Access. Directly chat with me about whatever on Discord, whether it be to give feedback about my work, patron rewards, or to just to get to know me.

Tier 3 - allows access to Raw, uncompressed, and non-watermarked frames for every animation I've rendered in the past few months. (This will be available a couple hours after posting this blog)

Tier 4 - will get your Patreon username displayed in all future descriptions and videos of my work as thanks!

So if any of you are already paying more than $1, you may want to claim some of these higher tier rewards now!



I have more ideas for higher tier rewards, but not sure how well they will work out. It's mostly commission related ideas, but I'm hesitating on implementing these rewards for a few reasons.

Right now I can't implement them unless I enforce some sort of limit to how many commissions I'll allow for a year. I've generally been thinking around 2 per year for most commission types. The reason I'm wanting to do this is to make sure I still have more than enough time to work on my own projects, as creating new 3D assets is quite time-expensive. The cheapest commission tier would just be a re-pose of a character I already have modeled out, and using any other 3D assets I have without creating new ones. Anyway, I have a hard time seeing how a limit for just a couple commissions per year fit the format of a monthly subscription reward. I can't dare to even think about doing monthly commissions for everyone who's in a commission tier, so I'm not too sure what I want to do there.

If any of you reading this have any good ideas for better rewards or a better way to go about commission rewards, let me know!!

EDIT:
Also have some new goals set on my overview page. Probably won't be reaching them anytime soon, but it's something I want to get to eventually if I want to be doing this full-time.
