New Idea for February - "Secondary Art Piece"

I mentioned I would write more about this soon! Take a look at the image above. This is a simple, short example of how I'd like to do this. To elaborate:

For the past several months, I already have been testing the waters about this idea. Doing something I call a "secondary art piece" each month. I don't think it will be too much for me to handle, as I've been doing it already, I just needed a push to keep things lively and instead of same-old every month. Something new or refreshing, different.

Starting in Feb, I was thinking of making a post in the Patreon feed as a poll. This poll will have 2-4 options, and be open for 2-3 days. This poll, and said options, will change each month based on what I feel like I have time for, and ideas for. Options include:

- Animations (short, simple ones at first. Nothing super refined or elaborate, but could be loops, could be adult or not, icons, etc.)

- 1-2 page standalone comics (sketched, flatted at most. No inks, just miniature, quick comics about various characters or situations)

- Additional request stream(s) (1-2 more request streams that month. This could help burn through the requests quicker, and provide 4-8 more coloured doodles each month)

- Rework of an old picture. (pick an old image I've done. Maybe one that would look way better in my current style, and I'll rework it the best I can given what time I have for it)

- Finish or semi-finish unused pinup sketch into a coloured piece (pick a sketch idea that I didn't use for a pinup and finish it into a medium-level piece)

- Other ideas (suggest below)


Once the inital vote was decided, I'd then gather suggestions from the comments regarding what comic to do, what sketch to finish, etc. and make a secondary post on that, again, for 2-3 days voting, and get the result from there.

The purpose of this post is to get your guys' feedback, support, ideas, questions... nothing is set in stone without hashing it all out with you all first; you're basically my boss, you put food on my plate, so I want to hear what your interests are, concerns, and excitements regarding my work to keep it fresh~

New Idea for February - "Secondary Art Piece"

Comments

I don't really think the "less/more popular" thing matters much here. The built-in system is just so convenient and I don't know of a runoff site to host elsewhere. Google Forms and the FKpolls I don't think would work, so this is the best for now. I don't think most people would switch votes.

They will be done the same month when possible, I think.

FluffKevlar

I vote for yes. ( '.')b

i vote for rework on old pics

sounds awesome, but dont overwork yourself, and remember that you always can choose a secondary art at your whim, if there's something you really want to work on :3

Skeleton Man

Sounds like a plan, I likes it. The only advice I have is maybe have the core ideas rotate each month depending upon your mood or needs. Just to avoid potential stagnation. I also think it would be fine and/or fun to have you pick the category you're most craving from time to time.

Animation. I'd LOVE to see more of those from you.

I recommend that you do the extra streams. I think that option will yield the most content and bring the most satisfaction to your patrons. However, since your patreon is for supporting your work how you envision it, not the "give me money and I'll do whatever you want" patreon, I recommend you alternate between the options whatever way you see fit. That being said, again, the ideal course of action for me (and most likely other patrons too) is for you to do more request streams. One thing that bugs me in particular is waiting several months for my requests to be fulfilled but not bringing it up because doing so would annoy the shit out of you. So having more request streams would remedy that mild nuisance of mine.

Satanic Cabal

I was going to say the same thing, but you beat me to the punch. High five man!

SCPilot

Sounds great. The extra request streams are an obvious bonus/good choice. I can already think of one or two old pics I'd love to see you redo. And that Ayn animation is looking incredible already, so I'm certain other animations would be incredible. And of course the "touch up passed over" pose ideas is a good one, too.

Silvador

i personaly would like to see more request being done. Maybe im being alittle bias’d due to mine not being picked, but little rant aside everything you suggested is a great idea. Maybe not animations cause they take alot of time. As always Fluff love ya and everyone me including will be happy nomatter what you choose to do!!

TryManX

i may be partially biased on this matter as its been a just over year since i got my request drawn... but i wouldn't mind more request streams, so that would be my first choice. but i also absolutely love the idea of reworking old old pics (there are some warning ones i want to see finished) so that would be my 2nd, my 3rd choice would be little mini comic. and my last choice would be animation, frankly because it takes so long compared to everything else, and your arts it so amazing i just want more of it. and i feel animating one thing wouldn't be anywhere as awesome as a bunch of new pictures. i do feel that any type of sex loop would be worth seeing. but what i saw from the animation you showed earlier, i did like it, but i feel your so good at drawing i would rather just see as much as that as possible given the choice

SwiftKitten

I like this idea, though could it also be done with instant runoff voting? Patreon's built-in vote system doesn't impress me, since the results are shown to you the moment you vote, while still allowing you to change your vote. Which means if you pick something less popular, you're immediately encouraged to switch since the poll directly tells you your vote is being wasted. Other than that, I have no qualms with this. It's a nice way to vary up your work and let you explore other avenues, especially with the animations. I *would* like to know if you're planning on addressing the primary pinup roster waitlist for next month, or if you're still figuring out what you want to do there.

Volpethrope

Interesting, I'd like to see this work out!

DJ

Yeah, i think that's a great idea. :)

Antoine Davis

This sounds like a great idea, i can't wait to see what happens. Also, when the votes are in and one of the option are picked, will they be posted that month, sooner or later depending on which is choosen? Either way, this sounds awesome.

Antoine Davis

This is a great idea, I basically just implemented it on my patreon to liven things up, my only feedback would be that you should occasionally pick that first topic yourself. If the goal is to make things more interesting to you, you should pick which "extra" you want to go with on some months (otherwise people might just choose the same topic each month). Sounds like fun, looking forward to it! :B
