Work in Progress Diary #1
🕑 Added 2023-07-22 10:00:05 +0000 UTCHi everyone, I decided to create this format where I update you on all the ideas, updates, and works I am thinking about.
Of course, I would also like to have your opinion.
LEVEL 4
For a while now I have realized that at the moment in Level 4 it is not very worth for what it offers. Right now the things that are exclusive to Level are the Scene Polls and the Commission Draw, but most of my support is here for my Characters, and not the scenes. Having a chance to get a commission is interesting, but it's not something for sure.
So I decided to add a new benefit to Level 4, which is to create an exclusive Character Poll for them, let me explain.
The characters in the Poll will be the same, but each vote in this special Poll will be worth 5 points. This means that the Level 4s who will be able to vote in the regular Poll and in the special Poll will be able to give a total of 6 points to anyone they give their vote. Counting that on average the total number of votes of the winners is between 25/30, so 6 points can give a huge advantage or even overturn the situation.
The idea is to give people a big influence on the final winner, and perhaps make it more possible for one's suggested character to win. Obviously, if the idea creates problems, I will try to balance it.
CHARACTER POLL
I have noticed that many other people who do Character Poll like me do it differently than I do.
I make it so that the Character to be included in the Poll is suggested once and stays as long as he doesn't win a Poll, even if the person who suggested it is no longer my support. This is because this method seemed friendlier to me and I would get the same result.
But what other Creators usually do is make a post at the beginning of the month, where all the characters to be included in the Poll are written down, and a week later start the poll. So a character continues to stay in the poll only if it is confirmed each month.
Initially, I didn't like this way of doing it, but lately thinking about it, I'm starting to feel a bit scammed, as many of the people who suggested a character are no longer my supporters, but their characters still remain in the Poll.
So I am very tempted to use this method myself, but I would like your opinion on that.
COMMISSION
I would like to try an experiment, which is to create a Level 5 for the sole purpose of making commissions. The level will definitely be limited to a few people (probably 10). It's an experiment in that I don't know how many requests I might get and how much work I will have monthly. So it's something I'm going to do sooner or later, and depending on how it goes I'll decide whether to remove it or not
OC
I think my OCs are of a better quality than the characters I try to replicate. I do okay at replicating characters, but there are many other people who are much better than I am, and I don't always get good results. Some characters come out very similar if not the same as the original character, while others come out barely decent. So I was beginning to think about converting the page to a one where I only post OC (I will probably still occasionally post some characters to replicate that I particularly like). The good thing about this is that I can post more content, as it's a lot more fun and faster for me to do OC, the bad thing is that other than the OC Poll I wouldn't know what other benefits to give for support.
Again, I would like your opinion about this.

So far that's all I'm thinking about, I hope I haven't been too long-winded. I thank in advance everyone who leaves their opinion in the comments.
Thank you all for the Support.

Solid write up. In regards to the poll, I think you're 100% valid in your thought process. If the person who originally submitted the character suggestion isn't supporting you, why bother. It just inflates the polls when there are people supporting you currently with their character suggestions. Just my two cents. (and just an fyi I'm not being biased or whatever just to get rid of characters on the polls or something, I don't particpate in them lol) Your OCs are great, focus on what you prefer.
