Patreon shit

eh i don't mind it

they kinda look like toys

Another shitty furry comic making thousands, par for the course

what else is new

I took your advice seriously these past few days and found out what my problem was. I felt no connection with any of the protagonists in all my ideas.

For the past month I've known exactly how I wanted to write each 22 page story of whatever idea I decided to go with and they would be episodic. However becaus ef that I didn't have enough space or time to really describe or display who the protagonist is. The story structure I made doesn't allow it and it was based off of episodic TV shows that I like. What was missing was a Pilot episode or one big adventure to kick it off.

So since everyone else uses and abuses the Joseph Campbell Monomyth I decided to sit down and write a 3 part story that loosely follows it-- yet sticks to the story structure I want to use for future episodic adentures. That ended up being what I needed. I guess I put off that idea of an " origin " story since I've been sick of them in movies lately. I should've put my prejudice aside.

So after a whole month of nothing I finally got a 1st draft done, and while I'll let that story sit I'll go back to my other half-dozen ideas and do the same thing ( gotta keep working ) eventually I'll go with the one that I'll really want to draw, but I can't decide that right now.

On the other end of that, I know this is the Patreon thread, but I don't think these are Partreon ideas. I myself don't like waiting days for a page on webcomics, and I can't see it. I'd rather put the whole thing out at once like a normal comic book-- but since I was wrong about the origin thing, and prove myself wrong everyday I might end up doing that just to see.

It's just that these stories would end up being 66 pages and I don't think my art is furry enough to get people invested in something unproven-- then again the more stuff posted in here makes me think twice about that. But hell, ya gotta have something done first before worrying about that stuff.

Whelp, Patreon confirmed to be just like dA: they don't give a shit about the guidelines they set up, only wrote them to frisk away any questioning people.

Still draws ugly as hell women

EDIT: Hahaha, "hire more artists"
I guess he's trying to be slipshine 2.0: r ape and kiddie porn edition
It also says this will help him improve the art on his site
Only if he hires someone better than him, fucker himself is gonna do what all internet superstars do once the real cash starts rolling in: stagnate

I can't speak for the quality of his comics- but this is PER WEEK. That means he's making $32k a year on Patreon alone. Nevermind the site he makes his comics on.

Holy damn.

Pony porn and pedoshit are a lucrative market

Well, color me surprised, not everyone on Patreon is a cheap greedy asshole.

Holy crap it's vinesauce. They're great people, good for them.

Holy fuck.

Crossposting a shitty furfag

Also some faggot who pretends like he's a big name in webcomics (what a prestigious claim) when all he's got is that he was a writer for some shitty weeb comics and draws a fucking terrible genderswap fetish comic

Lets think of it this way,
You become a programmer or an engineer and you make about $5000-6000 a month starting salary.

Meanwhile, the patreon shits make about 8000 a month doing whatever shit they do(this is including Patreon and whatever webcomic, youtube series they do). However, 10 years from, society will still need and want you as an engineer or programmer, and you'll get nice promotion along the way, all the while society will just go to the next big youtube star and lets play gamers like Pewdiepie will just go the way of Hillary Duff.

Let's hope they're investing some of this fame cash for when that time comes. And not the "200 anime figurines whose panties you can remove" kind of investment.

Hopefully, Patreon is a short-term thing. I like the basic concept, but wooow the execution is horrible.

I've heard some stories thought of people not following up with their donations, so maybe these people aren't getting paid as much as it appears. Unless people really are that stupid.

I find it hard to believe that because when you become a patreon you have to give up Credit Card info. That way the recipient is guaranteed a monthly income in money. With that being said, you can ban tier jumpers, and the donators in question can easily say "I don't want to support this Patreon" anymore.

All in all, the execution of the site is pretty well done. The main issue is simply people throwing their money at stupid shit. But with how easy it is for one to pull out if you don't deliver, I don't see that being an issue.

That reminds me of the time I was watching Slugbox do a donation stream commission. He ended up raising $400.00 in a stream all so he can spend it on some fucking transformers figurine.

That kinda explains why he always hauls ass around April to pay his taxes.
