Patreon for a dev - discussion thread

[Promotheus]

However, the style of work you are suggesting is commission work. A single piece of artwork for one person. That doesn't require a group of people paying you for something they most likely won't get to use other than looking at a p3d link. I'd suggest an art blog (Or launching a website) for that.

but I think single Patreon's can do more damage than good, I know I'd like you to be paid as well but there must be a careful system where its fair for all, and so that one cannot overdo the next.

I feel these are fairly accurate. Ignoring the dev part that most seem hung up over, I see nothing wrong with someone able to model taking commissions to model on the side.
Patreon however would seem more of a thing for the entire dev team / Server, rather then individual staff members.
Of course it would need to be made clear to anyone that wanted a commission done that there's no guarantee the model will make it in, as people will likely assume it will due to a (currently) dev making it.
