Make it in Telegram

Show the work, not a logo

Patrons want a taste of what they will see every month. A podcaster can show a microphone and a coffee mug, a cosplayer a workshop with fabric and foam, a musician a corner with a guitar and cables. Describe the mood you deliver, cozy, funny or dramatic. The bot draws a scene with that feeling, and you add your name in the empty area.

Crops and tiers

Patreon shows the cover differently on desktop and phone, so keep the important part near the middle and test the crop. Make tier images in the same palette to unify the page. Ask for a simple variant with fewer objects for the small banner. When your style changes after a year, run a new brief and update the page, then mention it in a post so patrons see the refresh.

Tips

Pick one signature element: a tool, a character or a place.
Describe the art style in plain words, such as watercolor or pixel art.
Keep the center clear because mobile crops differ.
Reuse the palette for tier images.

Questions and answers

Can I use my own character?

Describe the character clearly, or send a reference photo and ask for the same outfit and hair.

Is it good for a podcast page?

Yes. Describe the recording corner and the topic of the show.

What does it cost?

2 credits per image. New users get 15 free credits, so 7 images cost nothing. After that packs start at 129 Telegram Stars, about $2.6 and credits do not expire.

Does the bot work in English?

Yes. It picks up your Telegram language on first launch. You can switch it any time with /lang.

What the bot does not do

Does not place a logo exactly. You can send it as a reference, the result is approximate.
Long text on the image can come out with misspellings. Short captions work better, proofread before publishing.
Does not make video or animated stories.
Does not output a transparent PNG or a layered file.
