New Patreon Baner (WIP)
Added 2024-07-25 18:01:50 +0000 UTCA freebee WIP since it's for my branding, but here's more work on some Promo Art I'm doing!
So for anyone curious, I'm essentially taking my art as my job seriously; not that I didn't before, but now I've taken steps to treating it as a real job instead of just... a hobby that I can support myself on, if that makes sense? I'll talk it more in depth later. Anyway yeah, being far more deliberate and disciplined in how I run things, especially with the online shop a few short weeks away from being opened.
That means intentional branding, cohesive themes, and being a whole lot more annoying with advertising cuz I gotta make myself more known, baby!
SO as far as theme goes, my "brand" (not just for Patreon, but my art freelancing as a whole) takes influence from my persona's lore of her being... well. A Lorekeeper! Her job is to document the stories she encounters throughout her adventures; often times she's commissioned to do this, but she takes the time to do some lorekeeping of her own when she can. :) She lives on an island, and when she isn't using her "artist traveling kit" which has most of her mobile equipment, she simply paints the walls of caves and rock that litter her home island.
All that to say, it's to give my business an ongoing theme and even a bit of a narrative for me to work off of when I create promotional art so everything relates in a cohesive manner. It also gives me just an overall baseline of ideas of how I can make my promo art (stuff like business cards, commission advertising, shop advertising... you get it) and overall branding unique and to, hopefully, stand out a little more.
But ye! A lil behind the scenes bit there. Keep those peepers open for some news coming in the next few days! Spoiler alert: preorders for my debut shop launch will be opening exclusively to Patron supporters at a discounted price :) Aside from that, more art to come soon as well! ^.^
