status: feedback needed!

[meeks]

We are quickly approaching the end of the first month of this project; I think it's been a rather promising start, and I will definitely be continuing it :) I'm happy that so many sketches have reached the first participation target within a few days of posting, and I hope to see some of them meet additional targets so I have the opportunity to work on them further and start to build a body of more finished work that can be developed into products.

To that end, I am looking for ways to both expand my audience and thank members of my existing audience for contributing. My ideas so far have been to provide higher resolution files for prompters and sponsors, to post details of cleaned-up sketches for every $x in tips, and to select a random sponsor to receive a free print when a sketch reaches any 'finished' stage. Am I on the right track? What specific things can I offer that would be appealing?

posted this week:
Faerie Wedding (rough and cleaned-up sketches)
Tin Man (rough sketch)

Tips: $30 and a plush bunny rabbit

* Whenever you do a new sketch that is related (from the same story, or another story by the same author) then link back to the previous sketch(es).
Oh, that's a good suggestion...*makes note to add author tags*

* Randomly or deliberately pick a sketch to revisit on occasion. Maybe do this once a week or month.
Hmm...also a good suggestion...maybe pick the one with the most pingbacks at the end of the month...

I hadn't thought of this, but it's a good followup. Maybe genre tags, or some other way for people to view sketches that have something in common?

I like this method of selection. It's another way to track what is possible, but slightly different from regular comments.
