Blog: Monthly Art Polls (£5 Tier+)
🕑 Added 2021-08-09 01:08:19 +0000 UTCSo I been muddling over in my head ways for me create additional benefits for you guys for quite a while, and I've really taken my sweet time with it because when I first created this Patreon, I really wasn't sure whether people would like my art enough to be willing to support it (which I've been proven completely wrong about). Another issue is that I'm frankly awful at things like scheduling and sticking to deadlines, so it's taken me quite a long time to get into the mindset of "this is a job now and you need to start treating it like one" (´ε｀；)
I've other people suggest to me that I should reshuffle benefits such as hi-res to a higher tier, but every person reading this in the first place is able to because they've made the conscious decision to support me and my art monetarily, an incredible gift, so I don't want to be that asshole that strips previously accessible benefits and locks it behind a bigger paywall. Instead I thought the better option would be to gradually roll out additional benefits for higher tiers—so, from tonight I'm launching the first one, with monthly art polls for the £5 tier and up where patrons can vote on characters they would like to see drawn.
Ideally I think it'd be fun to keep the options themed, and then have characters that fit within those themed brackets available as options to vote on, i.e. Heroes, Villains, Nurses, Witches, Moms, Capcum, (Non)tendo, Futafication etc. I also have plans for alternative polls such as dual-character illustrations (top two characters get illustrated in a scene together), as well as tandem poll voting where first week you vote on a character, and second week you vote on how you want to see them drawn (pinup, goth ver., mating press, facial, futa etc.).
First poll of the year for August with the theme of "Girlfriend" will be launching for the £5 tier and up tonight. The poll will close in two weeks (23/08), and I'm really excited to see what you vote on!
I hope it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway—thank you so much everybody for directly enabling to me to keep creating ❤️
