Rewards I personally liked from artists I supported in the past where things like:
- Little welcome gifts (like a small/quick character doodle, or if the artist does physical things, stuff like a postcard or a few stickers)
- Monthly raffles for an artpiece (tho patreon has anti raffle rules now, so that isn't a thing you should do nowadays, lol)
- Patreon exclusive bases
- Polls on upcoming artworks (be that fanart, ychs, adopts, themes for personal pieces)
- Guest artist rights for duration of patronage (or rather right to create adopts/personal characters) from the artists closed sepcies'
- Early access to adopts(that will be posted publicly a few days later), so patrons can call dibs on designs a bit earlier.

Of course I also support artists just for the support, but if you want to give rewards, these may be some ideas.

This is an awesome list, thank you very much!

getting a chance to get an adopt early is a bit broken i wouls say.

well for a while i was following someone for a webcomic they were only posting on patreon
but we also got to do a monthly vote for wallpapers

thats cool!

I love seeing WIPs and sketches that don't see public posting. Few artists give insights into how they start off, or the bad sketches that had to happen before the finished pic. I do look for that when I check out Patreon pages.

I also really enjoy seeing sketches and wips of other artists! Im trying to get better at posting some on twitter myself

Over those years of being patron(still I am to other two artists), I value the most early acces to arts done by them and/or fan art polls

Early acces is really lucrative for me too.
