Poll About Streams

Added 2020-10-28 17:41:04 +0000 UTC

So, like I mentioned earlier, I've been having motivation/focus issues kinda badly this month, in addition to heavy amounts of stress. I wanted to put off some Patreon art because of this, to alleviate a bit of stress while I worked on whatever else I could for a bit.

Then I streamed art yesterday and got 4 and a half drawings done in what felt like no time at all.

Now, here's the thing: those were all commissions. It's great to get them out of my queue, but that's art that goes up immediately.

I've always refrained from having personal art or patreon rewards get drawn on stream, because in my head, that's unfair to you guys: because my art like that is meant to be exclusive and seen early by you guys for about a month. Streaming art wouldn't be like posting it in full resolution, but it still somewhat feels like cheating.

But now I have direct proof that if I drew art like that on streams, I would get SO MUCH MORE completed and have a lot more art to share here, period. So it'd exchange a bit of exclusivity with likely much much more content, and I've been struggling lately to create content so it's seemed fairly appealing. Only issue was just... I didn't want to cheat you guys out of exclusivity when that's one of the few things I offer here on Patreon.

But then I figured asking you guys would be better than just assuming that I shouldn't do it.

So ultimately the question is this: Do I continue to keep my personal art or your rewards privately drawn, to ensure they're 100% exclusive until a month passes? Or do I draw them on-stream, allowing approximately 8-12 people to see them on-stream, but also getting a lot more content created as a result, before I post them here exclusively for a month?
