Check-in Poll
Added 2021-03-24 18:35:32 +0000 UTCHi friends! I hope this catches you all well and good. I'm ticking along on the comic (currently finishing up the cum/specular-highlights, still have to do the rim-light/edge stuff, some basic backgrounds, and motion lines; so a few more days before an update!).
Since we're coming up to the end of the month it's time for me to start working on getting the next vote up. BUT, the last few times I've done a vote I've gotten push back from some of you - a lot of folks don't seem to like the idea of supporters getting to have input on the story!
Thing is, I use the vote as a touch-stone - a guide to hear what you all would LIKE to see, and not as an 'I MUST do this'. I've got IDEAS, and story directions already in mind. So it's more like 'I wonder what my backers would like me to do more of...' So far it's encouraged me to explore more bi-behavior, increase Owens commanding behavior - small fun stuff, but not like, story breaking. I've always really enjoyed that.
I get too, that, with the process being slow, it can be frustrating to have samie-samie votes each month. So I figured I'd reach out today. Find out what sort of things you've like me to do with the monthly vote!
I've thrown a few ideas into a poll, but honestly feel free to hit me up with your ideas in the comments too. Just keep in mind my time is finite!

Permanent? are you advocating they castrate him or something?

2021-03-29 03:04:47 +0000 UTCI think this one would be a fun one to start figuring out. If I have some time I'll draw up some options!

2021-03-25 17:27:46 +0000 UTCWell, you know my idea, keep the monthly vote, but do specialized votes for special things. I love your communication and involvement with your patrons! <3 About the chastity vote... it is fun and engaging, but I think it would be awesome to start slow, maybe with a rather spacious plastic cage and then gradually moving to more... permanent solutions. ;D Edit: Permanent as in Steel instead of plastic... maybe riveted instead of a Key! Never mutilation! I love that foxo!

2021-03-25 13:17:51 +0000 UTCI like the communication and like that we can give suggestions or vote. But I think everyone knows this is your story and you have final say. Take the ideas you like and discard those you don't. If you ever get stuck on a story idea, or just want to see what your audience thinks please ask. I know I am not the only one out here who would be happy to help if it was ever needed.

2021-03-25 02:41:54 +0000 UTCThe monthly vote seems just fine for me, since I always understood that it is just to get the input of the backers and not to completely change the story. However, the idea of voting on the little things sounds super fun as well. I'd very much like to vote on the type of chastity Nick gets to wear. :)

2021-03-24 22:34:40 +0000 UTCRight? I just want an excuse to touch base with you all each month. Help everyone feel a bit involved in the process. I feel like that's half the fun of having a Patreon - making everyone a part of the project, even if it's just a little. And thank you as always friend!
Amadose
2021-03-24 20:54:31 +0000 UTCOh absolutely - but thank you for saying so! This wasn't meant as a sad or mad post or anything - I just wanted to touch base with everyone, and see what we collectively would like to do each month =)

2021-03-24 20:52:14 +0000 UTCAlways good to hear from you on how things are going and the process of it all. I have every confidence in what you’re making and don’t usually feel the itch to stir the pot myself. As long as I get to see more amazing art from an artist who clearly has a passion for what they are making, that’s really what I’m here for and what I’m supporting. I appreciate the engagement regardless. Stay safe out there.

2021-03-24 20:11:43 +0000 UTCSorry to hear you are getting/feeling push back, I have always enjoyed your work and i think the votes are a great way to let us feel a part of your work. In the end I feel that this work will and should always be yours and as a supporter I would never want to force you to write what I want but to guide and help with keeping the creativity and quality that you have shown in every page

2021-03-24 19:41:11 +0000 UTCSo a less-choices sort of thing? A more targeted and select vote? and I appreciate the vote of confidence =D
Amadose
2021-03-24 19:29:42 +0000 UTCOh, this isn't a call-out, nor a negative! And I've only ever found you kind and generous with your feedback TC! Please don't sweat it =)
Amadose
2021-03-24 19:27:49 +0000 UTCI think you'll come up with a good design. Maybe do 2-3 to be voted on. I'm looking forward to what you come up with.

2021-03-24 19:18:37 +0000 UTCKeep up the good work. If I have ever given "push back." It was not mine intend. Discord and talking emproves everything.

2021-03-24 19:05:20 +0000 UTCYeah! The machinations of a cage that is supposed to fit on someone with a sheath... 0_o
Amadose
2021-03-24 18:57:03 +0000 UTCI like the monthly poll, but I also voted for the "small stuff" cuz I think that would be cool. Voting on his chastity cage would be especially nice for those who us who do chastity cage stuff irl and in art- we can make his chastity cage actually function properly. xD
2021-03-24 18:55:15 +0000 UTC=D Me too! I love that you all support me doing this crazy comic, and I want to talk and hear you guys. Hearing everyone's ideas gets me excited. Buuuuut I'm super flexible too - more than happy to mix it up.
Amadose
2021-03-24 18:41:06 +0000 UTCthe way I see it is if you didn't ask for input, then people trying to take over the story direction would be worth complaining about. But you're literally asking for votes, it engages your patrons and let's them have input on the story, and I think that's a wonder thing.

2021-03-24 18:37:32 +0000 UTCAs a reward for making it this far. Check out this amazing artist I recently discovered! https://twitter.com/burdieowo The style, and gleefully excitement the artist draws all the characters in is a DELIGHT. Super simple, super hot.
