I see this falling flat on its face really fast. Pretty much like everything Jay does.
I like how he thinks it's just one thing keeping him from being super successful. That's fucking adorable.
So basically pledging 100$ means nothing.
You'd get a circle with the hair color of your choosing.
Also if his entire patreon hits $100 a month then all he's promising is to re-release and edit the youtube videos he used to have up? I'm not sure what he's talking about. What projects? His film class projects?

Who would anyone donate even 5$ to his Patreon? Bedsides his art looking like crap and so forth.
There is barely any rewards for backing up his project beyond even the 5$ point. The rest of his "rewards" don't justify themselves for the price you have to pay for them per month.
I don't think he is gonna get a lot of Patreon money from this.

If someone had to just pay $5 a month to make him accept his comic as a part time job I'd say it'd be worth it just for him obligation to something that he couldn't just brush off because he felt a bit stressed that day. The problem is there's no way to enforce that and I imagine it'd be by his standards so.. yeah, worthless.
If people actually did start donating, he'd probably raise the price to get access to the comics. Then, he'd make the 5$ like a preview for his comics.
And then he'd have no patrons and wonder where everyone went. Just like when he went from 20+ active stream viewers to.. like 5.

I never thought I'd come across a lolcow more delusional about the value of their work than Chris but here we are...

What makes me nervous is the idea that if any of this actually worked out, I'd be bound to push through, which would be amazing if that weren't such a big IF in my brain. Maybe such a feeling is normal. I mean, I feel like I can't promise *everything* I've listed on Patreon, like those are all my idealized visions if everything worked out flawlessly with unwavering consistency. And obligating myself to living up to all that? I'm actually intimidated. But maybe I'm worrying over nothing and I'd do just fine with strong enough backing (and if a dozen loyal fans and friends could pave the way with enough money for me to reinforce my time and tech enough so I can; even though I do have an abundance of time for work so that's not the problem).
Also, bringing on a team to make my comic into a professional cartoon is double-edged. That's because it's my baby, literally my life's work. For one, I know that pooling all of our strengths together would make something more awesome than ANYTHING I could ever do by myself (plus, no professional broadcasted cartoon has ever been done ALL by a single human). On the other hand, I can't stop thinking of it as "MY work!"
Or maybe this entire pursuit is a huge joke as I won't even see a penny from any of it!
What do YOU think? Have you ever been nervous about any commission-based creation? Have you ever felt like you could not live up to expectations? How have you thwarted such inner conflicts? Am I rambling nonsense throughout this journal? Feedback is encouraged, just please, try to keep it constructive.
No matter what, I have a LONG way to go, but at least it's a start...I hope?
And before anyone says it, I understand I first need to do/make something great before *I* become great. What I do not understand is, what is this invisible inner force prohibiting me from producing? It's like "making a mountain out of a molehill," and it's plagued me my entire life from school to now and beyond. Some times (rarely), the problem simply does not exist. Most of the time, it makes me feel tense (and it's not fun when compounded by expired patience, which oftentimes feels like as if my pants are on fire). I mean, even with all the time I've spent compiling and researching and studying the tools and tips of both drawing and writing, what is keeping me from actually producing?!
Good news is someone else bought my first book! Woo-hoo!
I was just about to keep working on the third one last night, also. I have to rush to my job now, but when I get back, we'll see how far I can get on Page 1 (considering my goofy brain sees nothing I can do to improve the cover).

I could totally see him as some sort of prima-donna director seeing what he says in the first couple paragraphs. Yes, it's understandable to get attached to one's work but everyone's contribution is equally important.
But I don't see that happening anytime soon seeing as he's a textbook example of the Small Name, Big Ego trope.
It's okay, Batman. He forgives you.
"You're forgiven for being rightfully reluctant in contributing. We all make mistakes, buddy!"
Wow.

If you pledge $25 you get "access to the official wiki." First, this shows that the True and Honest Golden Knight wiki continues to bother him. Also, his plan is completely counterproductive since he apparently intends the wiki to be hidden to all except his patrons. How, then, will he be able to get the word out to the general public about his greatness? Moreover, he's already got a website and he prattles on non-stop on DeviantArt. What more can a wiki do for him? He seems to be one of these people who thinks the reason people disagree with him is because the truth just hasn't been explained to them properly. So Jay explains, explains, explains.
