Currently, 18 paid patrons contribute to SOTEP's work, demonstrating a dedicated following within a larger community of 129 total members. With estimated monthly earnings ranging from $34 to $680, SOTEP’s Patreon demonstrates a consistent, albeit modest, level of financial support from their audience. This success highlights the value of their readily available, free content and the growing demand for accessible, high-quality art instruction. SOTEP's commitment to sharing artistic knowledge distinguishes them in a field often characterized by proprietary techniques and closed communities.
