Prose or pics?
🕑 Added 2018-12-31 13:49:16 +0000 UTCGreetings all!
Thanks so much for your support. I'm really excited for 2019 and this Wednesday I'll be posting a brief overview of some of the stories and pics I've got planned for the new year. You'll be able to vote on which ones you'd like me to focus on.
For now, though, I just wanted to do a very quick poll to ask which was more influential in your decision to sign up to my Patreon page: my pics or my writing.
Thanks, and please feel free to leave more specific thoughts in the comments.

Thank you - and yes, someone mentioned the uncanny valley to me quite recently. I can certainly see what you mean and it's something I'm looking to improve on in future pics. However, writing will always be my main focus (though I do find that creating images of the characters helps with descriptions and story ideas), so I really appreciate the comment on my prose!
Also, I'm not a big fan of the CGI-looking art that WG artists often employ βΒ not just in your case, but also with Samster and many others. Have you heard of the "uncanny valley effect" associated with humans created with computer programs? (As opposed to say, toys, cars and other non-flesh based Pixar-style objects that look more natural when done with computers.) To me, this artwork definitely falls into that category, so that's it's more creepy than sexy. I'm not saying it detracts from the stories βΒ I just pay attention to the wonderful prose, which is indeed evocative and brilliant in your case.
Fully agree with Jarrod. You have a gift for description.

Very kind of you to say so, and thanks for the feedback! :)
There are all kinds of artists who can draw, but few can post the quality stories that you can come up with. I'm happy to pay for those stories but not so much for only pictures.
