Should Proving Grounds Posts be Patron Only?
🕑 Added 2021-04-24 06:03:54 +0000 UTCOkay so like, while working on another card I took a glance at my old Eris card and boy did it not age well. I'd say it aged like milk but since it was bad to begin with I guess it aged like aged milk, which I think is cheese? Or that milk gummy Patrick eats after Spongebob leaves a glass of milk out for 40+ days. I thought that was a real thing so I did plan on leaving out milk until it became chewy. I know in the show Patrick was disgusted upon eating it but back in ze day I thought it looked delicious. Luckily someone threw it out, saving me from giving myself food poisoning.
But I digress, anyways yeah so old Eris = shit. Made new Eris = Hopefully not shit?
There are some minor things I plan on doing before releasing it (Which will be listed below.) but the thing that pushed me to make this post is her hair color. What the fuck is the color of her hair? Is it brown? Light brown? Orange? Bright orange? Strawberry blonde? Man I didn't watch the show or read the light novel I don't have a single clue what the hell her hair color is supposed to be.
So, that's why I'm here presenting this card to y'all:

For those who either watched the show or just know the character better more than not at all, I would like to ask y'all a favor. Could you set the color of the hair and send the card back to me? I will also accept a screenshot of the color palette thingy. That's seriously the only reason why I'm not posting this thing yet: Her goddamn hair color.
Minor things I plan on doing: Just adding some more outlines on her main outfit. Using the pushup plugin so that you can actually read her swimsuit name plate properly. Maybe make her cheek blush thing stronger. A more distinctive nose, perhaps?
Just some minor things, though if you feel like more could be added or I've completely overlooked a huge mistake, please let me know so that I could fix it. Would be real embarrassing to push this as the "NEW PACKAGING EVEN BETTER TASTE!" when there's a blatant flaw right front and center. Or hell, is actually worse than the old version. So yeah, would really appreciate pointing out such mistakes thank you!
I was considering making this Patreon only because this is a pretty minor thing. Like, it'll be public in a few days or so (Unless this post ends up being the frontlines of the great hair color war.) so I don't think people would mind, right? But then again, people might, hence why I'm making this public to ask this: Would you be miffed if these kinds of posts were Patreon only?
These posts, if I do go through with them in the future, are more or less just me asking for last minute check overs and possible ways to polish it up. If you wait, then you'll get an improved version of the card and not deal with a potentially buggy n' awful one. Also, it ain't like I'm gonna parade these things over at the usual sites so unless you keep tabs on this page you probably won't even know that there even was a beta build.
I mean, that Camilla post flew under the radar so I feel like that making these kind of things Patreon only wouldn't be all that much of a bother/not actually effect anything. And hey, at least there's a tangible benefit now to being a patron, as insignificant as it may be. Iunno, maybe this is the first step down the slippery slope of paywalls n' secret DRM codes hidden in cards. Or maybe this is harmless. I don't know, and that's why I'm asking all of you.
I would like to maintain the free wheeling nature of this page while also throwing patrons a bone. Like a neat bonus for being a patron, y'know? That's what I hope this will do but I also worry that this is so minor this ends up pleasing neither party. It's too small to be of any value to patrons while still being a time gate, regardless of how tiny it is, would be a bother to non-patrons.
Anyways, once this hair thing finally gets settled, expect an official post to be made on here and on the usual pages. Thank you all for being patient with me.
