How much money can you make with patreon?
A formula
https://blog.patreon.com/figuring-out-how-much-you-might-make-on-patreonHow many followers?
From these followers, how many are active?
How many of these followers could convert to patrons?
Let's have an example - Teal Swan:
Current subscriptions on youtube - 589K
15% are active - 88K
7$ by Patrons (on average) - Teal might cash 618K per month!
Jessica Nigri:
Instagram followers : 3.7m (these don't convert easily to Patrons)
only 0.1% of instagram followers in average will convert
Youtube followers: 1.2m
15% are active - 180K
7$ by Patrons (on average) - Jessica might cash 1.2m per month!
Now the actual revenue for Miss Nigri is coming from 2736 Patrons - with an estimate of 19K per month - source: https://www.patreon.com/JessicaNigri

Inkscape Live Path Effect goodies
Inkscape Live Path effects (LPEs) are neat, but unfortunately not well known and therefor underused.
Lately I found this video and the end results are very pleasant, but because of the lack of explanations and the speed of the video - it's hard to follow
I'll try to decompose it -- Basically you follow 3 steps
1. you draw a shape with the Path tools
2. You open the Path Effect Editor, and add "Spiro-spline" to this shape, this effect will smooth the nodes position and creates nice curves, easy on the eyes.
3. Then You add "Pattern Along Path" and click on the first symbol next to Pattern source (the one in orange)

The next steps are up to you, because it's just a matter of finding the right shape - then duplicate it, transform it (Object to Path) and resize, change the orientation, duplicate some more, change the color, etc ... until you find the right shape you like.

How to mimic a photo of a small model - while in fact it's a real photo of a normal sized house, people, boats etc ... The magic is in the focus blur and a feathered selection.
The plug-in (requires compilation) is available here at registry.gimp.org/node/25803

Quick environment sketch with Gimp
Gimp 2.8 is about to be released soon (January 2012 ?!), and many people are waiting for the single window mode impatiently.
In the meantime, I've stumbled upon some nice Google+ posts involving some painting or photo-montage.
Painting environment composition is fun, and in a couple of hours, you can see result ... just experiment and try various brushes (the chaos and evolution set (by David Revoy) is recommended) ; one benefits of doing such exercise is learning to make good composition and harmonious sceneries, and how to set and use the light - because that's key.
These 2 videos might help :

Inkscape - customizing keyboards shortcuts
This post is all about the attempt to standardize a bit the keyboards shortcuts within Gimp, myPaint and Inkscape.
Essentially the Zoom, the undo, accessing the layers, and exporting a file. What mainly caused this urge to maintain the same logic within these applications is the fact, that sometime you have to use all of them during a design process, and ctrl+L in Gimp to access the layers panel is doing a destructive simplification of the shape you're working on in Inkscape - also pressing Z in myPaint to undo the last command is such simpler than the ctrl+Z that it made sense to have that setup as well in the other applications.
This post will only focus on how to change Inkscape shortcuts - since it's really easy to assign shortcut in myPaint - (basically you open the command menu and press the key you want to assign) - same in Gimp you open preferences and change whatever you want to the menu command ... but when it comes to inkscape you have to dig deep into the config files to find the way to change the shortcuts ... they're hidden in ./config/inkscape/keys/default.xml
The following default.xml file is assigning the keys :
- ctrl, shift x = export
- z = undo
- ctrl z = zoom
- ctrl l = layers
- ctrl, shift l = selectionsimplify
- ctrl, shift e = xml editor
You can download the config file at pastebin

Making a Calendar 2011 using Gimp or Photoshop
To create a calendar in Gimp it's really easy - there's a couple of scripts you can download here or there.
It's easy afterward to customized and get any look you want.
Below I opted for a "grunge" look, therefor I used the Downcome font then added some textures, some dirty spots and then applied a "Tear off" effect (that you can find here)
Here's below January 2011 which looks like the it has been printed on potatoe's sack.
There's a similar method for Photoshop you can find at : http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/designing-tutorials/create-a-calendar-using-scripting-in-photoshop/

Drawing Tutorial by Jolly Jack
[埋込みオブジェクト:http://www.youtube.com/v/0lN0zyIAlSA?fs=1&hl=en_US]
The video above is the part2 out of 3 - I've seen Drawing tutorials many of them - some are just plain "speed painting" with no explanations whatsoever - but I recommend these 3 videos by Jolly Jack because he gives a lot of good information and advices during the process - very helpful.
I'll try to highlight a few interesting points :

I'll try to highlight a few interesting points :
- Before starting you should already have a rough idea of what you want to draw
- When drawing start with the head - set where the character is looking and build the body according to that pose.
- Concentrate on the figure's flow, make the pose looks right
- Use a very thin brush (1) for the rough sketch
- keep the layer 0 for the white background an use layer 1 for the sketch
- After the basic outline is done on layer 1, get a larger brush and add details starting with the eyes
- You should work at least in 300dpi
- When the rough is done on layer1, it's time to add a new layer for the final line-work
- add 2 layers (one will be used as a buffer and made invisible)
- set the layer1 with the rough to 15% opacity and retrace it on layer 3 (line-work)
- use a slightly larger brush (3.1) for the finished lines
- After the line-work is done, duplicate the layer and merge them - to add contrast
- Now it's color time, add a new layer (4)
- If possible have a palette for each characters you have - otherwise load a previous artwork
- Layer 4 is used for the flat colors, use the lasso tool on layer 3 then return to layer 4 and fill the selection
- After the flat color is done add a new layer (5) for shadow, using black with 40% opacity
- Then add the light (new layer (6)) with white and 10% opacity
