UPDATE/SUGGESTIONS FOR ME?
Added 2016-08-31 04:41:28 +0000 UTCHey Guys! Those drawing requests are still coming, I haven't forgotten things just got super hectic and my mental health has taken a turn. I think I need to reformat my Patreon rewards to make things more fair for you guys! I know I haven't been able to do calls/hangouts much at all, and it's not cause i don't want too, I either get to busy or too genuinely mentally unwell to put myself in front of people and try to be in charge of a chat while still being entertaining. I WANT that still to be a reward but i don't know how to handle it if I can't always deliver.
I want to know, as Patrons, what do YOU want me to try to do so you can feel your pledge is worth the money each month if I can't deliver on certain things?
Gimme suggestions I'm open to anything I can try to make up for it thats more manageable! I know a lot of you guys want more ZP related stuff, I have been trying to work that into my normal agenda! Anything else? Let me know!! I wanna hear from you all! <3

Your art and ideas are so amazing! Honestly the time at which you produce stuff is pretty quick for the quality that goes into it. I just read Zoophobia, and it is crazy cool. Keep doing what you do, it working!
2016-09-09 10:12:44 +0000 UTCI would say there is a big gaps between reward tiers. :) $10 is a bit too much for me. I live in kind of lame country considering economics so I am always in inner fight between supporting the creators I admire and taking general care for myself xD

2016-09-08 14:13:51 +0000 UTCIf you've played it, I wouldn't mind seeing something from Undertale. It seems you're kind of style.
2016-09-06 16:50:37 +0000 UTCI don't need rewards. I just donated to help you make more youtube vids.

2016-09-04 11:52:07 +0000 UTCMaybe showcase items that are unique in Haven unlike the rest of the world to show more backgrounds even if they aren't important to the plot. I really like to see the culture of the world through its trinkets and more.

2016-09-03 16:12:37 +0000 UTCMaybe silly sketch-type comics of your characters? Not like colored or serious, just something quick and fun for all patrons :p
2016-09-01 22:04:31 +0000 UTCIf need be just take a breather X3 Over exerting yourself doesn't pay off well without repercussions :V Besides, you totally need your brain and what not to function, don't break it for our sake XD

2016-09-01 14:42:02 +0000 UTCYou might consider getting someone whose inner border collie is strong, and good at managing online crowds, to help you with the online chats. They could deal with difficult people, keep things on track, so you could concentrate on answering the interesting and useful questions. There are some great people who manage discussion forums this way... and I really appreciate the ones who do. They make it better for everyone.

2016-08-31 21:36:06 +0000 UTCOne thing i'd like to see is some of the Misfits human forms since i'v seen one of Angel, and also it gust interests me to see what they looked like when they where alive

2016-08-31 20:59:16 +0000 UTCDoing what makes you happy seems to be the broad consensus of what people here want. But to draw more people into your Patreon, maybe you could record an animation tutorial series and open it up just for patrons at different levels depending on the skill level of the content? Dunno!
2016-08-31 19:34:50 +0000 UTCI want YOU Viv to keep doing what makes you awesomr, which is being confident in your talents and creations, and do what you need to do to keep being amazing. That is all .o.

2016-08-31 17:57:04 +0000 UTCMaybe try doing a raffle every month for one of your patreons to get a sketch of their character? I've heard quite a few people have been doing that and it seems like fun! Also I'd say to start getting requests down a bit more before starting anything too big so they don't pile up!

2016-08-31 17:55:03 +0000 UTCI like what I have been seeing in recent posts. I love the previews of your art prints you put out for sale which I do buy right away. Other wise be sure your health comes first, cause we all care about you and will gladly a wait for any news on ZP or Hazbin Hotel you have in store.

2016-08-31 16:56:57 +0000 UTCI don't really pledge enough for my views to be worth much, I'm cool with things as they are and just hope that you don't stress too much about this, RL health maintenance comes first after all.

2016-08-31 15:44:49 +0000 UTCwe all came here for your art and your inspiration has made most of us go through with the weird you are the reason for my most infamous game

2016-08-31 15:07:58 +0000 UTCMy only suggestion is to do what makes you happy. Though I'm a little late for this post (so you probably won't see this), I'm a huge admirer of your works. Not in a creepy stalker way though. You inspired me to follow my current career path and to start writing my own story. I'm 13 chapters, 101 pages, and 35482 words on word document. Not done, but if I do finish and I take it to a publisher and it gets published, I might try to put your name in as an inspiration (with your permission of course). Just do what makes you happiest and I'm sure people will understand.

2016-08-31 12:25:15 +0000 UTCIt doesn't really matter what you make as long as you pace yourself and have fun making it!
2016-08-31 11:56:31 +0000 UTCYou should limit your commission type rewards on patreon and focus on the main projects. It would drive me crazy. Animating takes long enough without doing monthly side work, ya know?
Lombarsi
2016-08-31 11:56:08 +0000 UTCPersonally, I say do what's best for you. However, as a $10.00 patron, I'd like to see more potential character designs, as well as storyboards and sketches to other things (unless some of those are exclusive to $20.00 patrons then nvm).
2016-08-31 10:14:01 +0000 UTCHm.... How about some ZP and Hazbin Hotel crossover pics! Those would be so cool!

2016-08-31 08:39:18 +0000 UTCHow about every two weeks you let people suggest characters you should draw, and then you use a randomizer to pick one and draw it ? :3
Magpie
2016-08-31 07:44:23 +0000 UTCIt may not be an option for you financially, but I've heard of other Patreons running monthly raffles. Perhaps you could give patrons the chance to 'win' something, say from your red bubble store? Just a thought :) Appreciate your hard work regardless.
Andy
2016-08-31 07:12:19 +0000 UTCJust be you, creating what strikes your fancy. Feel good about your work and you. Your animations are what drew me in, but I enjoy most everything. The Owl City vid was a fun Patreon thing to watch develop, and a great finished product. Very much enjoy not just the ZP work, but your fanart and fan videos are a delight as well. Work "Becuz I gotta' never has the same flavor as 'work becuz I wanna!' to me. (Sorry. Late, stupid, writing skills fading...) Keep up the cool stuff!

2016-08-31 07:06:40 +0000 UTCAnd as I didn't know that hitting Enter immediately sends a message, I would also suggest a character design challenge or some possible video game-related stuff, not sure how into games you are, but just suggesting it. Or just more original work in general, maybe fan art of OCs you like?

2016-08-31 05:08:44 +0000 UTCIn all honesty, I would just appreciate clarification on how the Character ref rewards for the $10 pledge work, because one of the reasons you are possibly my favorite artist right now is your wide variety of character designs, and indeed I want to see more of them and learn more about them, I love ZP & am always glad to see more of it. ^_^
Kyle LeClair
2016-08-31 05:06:41 +0000 UTCI stick to $1 pledges precisely because nobody on either side needs to feel stressed about them. As long as there's evidence that art happened at the end of each month, I'm satisfied.
2016-08-31 05:02:40 +0000 UTCYesss she's my ZP girl crush! And thanks for taking time to reply, it's really exciting for me because I've become such a big fan of yours

2016-08-31 05:02:33 +0000 UTCMy new computer doesn't have any music yet, but I'l work on trying to get a music playlist back! -Also more Kayla comin' up!
Vivienne Medrano
2016-08-31 04:58:46 +0000 UTCAll I really want is audio during live streams. be it music or if you want to say something to us. And in general I'd like to see more art of Kayla, she's my favorite :)

2016-08-31 04:57:50 +0000 UTCMy pledge hasn't gone through yet, so I don't feel like I can really ask for anything. I just wanted to make a donation as a way as saying thanks for the great job you did with your Die Young animation. That being said, I'd love to be able to have the chance to hang out with you and chat. I have mental health issues of my own, so I totally get having anxiety/stress about doing that sort of thing though. Anyway, I think you're doing a great job, and am looking forward to your next animation. :3
2016-08-31 04:52:01 +0000 UTCTime Burton theme? Like try to make a burtonesque style characters or remake them if they were in a burtonesque movie. Or maybe Neil Gaimon theme aswell, like the Anansi boys and Coraline. Since Halloween is just around the corner, it be cool to see something like those.

2016-08-31 04:50:36 +0000 UTCHow about something Corpse Bride related?
