I've been back and forth about starting a Patreon... mostly I've worried that I don't have much to offer that's worth paying a fee to access, but I think I've solved that problem.

Would people be interested if I started a Patreon full of my art resources?  Things like reference photos, tutorials, pre-made backgrounds, etc?  I could offer custom tutorials for people who pledge a certain amount, or specific pose references, maybe even one-on-one help through Skype or Twitch... things like that.  Do you think you'd be more likely to contribute to that than a regular art Patreon?

Let me know, I'm interested in your feedback!

I think you could do it Meli. I've also been looking at Patreon. These are things i've seen artists offer that had interest. 

- Tutorials (and including the .psd file used in said tutorial)
- Digital Prints (full sized .psd file)
- Process Images (showing the sketch, lineart, and colored image)
- Videos with full length instruction (a short teaser usually gets uploaded to YouTube for free)
- Coloring pages (lineart for patrons to color) 
- offering free access to past rewards for just $1
- posting nsfw / uncensored / alternate versions of figures
- holding a raffle to feature an artist on social media
- 10% off code for the artists' online print store
- Patron only live streams 
- raffles to win a print

Hope this gives you a few ideas. :D
