Hey!
I want to change a few things and would like to hear your opinions before actually making the change. I've also temporarily enabled my Tumblr ask where you can let me know anonymously what you think.
Here's a summary!
What's gonna change:
- No more monthly wallpapers after going through the remaining wow-races (draenei, human, pandaren).
- Occasional wallpapers or pics can still happen because ...
- In the future, polls will be for projects. I'll gather some concrete ideas I want to do and you'll decide which one of those I'll do next. The 2$ Patreons will get to vote on all polls.
- I'll re-post a copy of every poll for the 5$ Patreons and combine the results of both polls. So 5$ Patreons will essentially count double by being able to vote twice.
- Polls are going to be irregular cause some projects are going to take longer than others. So there might be months with no polls, especially while I'm catching up on the remaining wallpapers. If that happens, I'll compensate the 2$ guys with a WiP animation from the 5$ tier.
Why tho:
- I can't get a new character ready every month.
- The wallpapers take too much time away from working on animations, which is the thing most people want from me, I think.
- Half of the time, I don't even know what to do for a wallpaper, so I'm wasting time figuring that out.
I think this all sounds resonable, but yah ... wanna know how you guys feel about that.
Here be anonymous Tumblr questions:
- Those changes are fine, however will you still make a Tracer wallpaper when the model is ready?
I like the idea of these wallpapers very much, especially for the Overwatch characters. I'd like to do one for every character and maybe make another one for Mercy, cause hers was kinda lame.
If I do a Tracer wallpaper when the model is ready depends on whether or not I have a good idea for her. But I'm sure I'll make one eventually.
Comments
Yeah, don't want to ditch wallpapers entirely. Instead I'll do them whenever I have a good idea for one.
2017-04-18 16:24:50 +0000 UTCyeah i like it
2017-04-17 20:07:26 +0000 UTCYes, please more animations instead of wallpapers.

2017-04-16 15:46:39 +0000 UTCi like the sound of all these ideas, i defiantly would rather have animations than wallpapers :)
2017-04-16 11:24:09 +0000 UTCInstead of wallpaper I would love to see you do pandaren animation :)
2017-04-16 00:36:08 +0000 UTCAgree with your thoughts. Would rather see more animations. The occasional wallpaper is nice but not to the exclusion of anims.

2017-04-15 22:05:52 +0000 UTCI like very much those changes. No regular wallpapers means faster animation and its much better. But I think that you should do some wallpaperer when you will have some great idea. Like Widowmaker wallpaper I think is the best one. Also the animation WIP for 2$ guys is huge recompense so thanks for this.

2017-04-15 17:56:53 +0000 UTCWeird, thought I had replied to this already ... anyway, thanks again for letting me know!
2017-04-15 17:17:58 +0000 UTCThanks! Really appreciate you guys taking the time to share your thoughts! It's nice to see my suspicions confirmed that wallpapers are a "nice to have", but not when it comes at the expense of animations.
2017-04-15 17:16:03 +0000 UTCThanks!
2017-04-15 17:14:14 +0000 UTCI agree, the wallpapers are awesome but the animations are more awesome. If you're able to generate a wallpaper from an animation project? Cool, if not? Then it's totally fine if it means well be getting an animation from you. I'll continue to keep supporting either way!

2017-04-15 17:02:27 +0000 UTCHonestly too me it doesn't matter that much since I have budgeted to continue supporting you at the $10 level so I cant think of what else to add... as long those of us in the higher teirs still get rewards we signed up for and asked for.. That would be my only Concern!
