Pack ideas
Added 2022-09-29 18:27:38 +0000 UTC
Hi guys , I am thinking on what I can change on my packs to get more Patrons .
So , I want to know .
Do you like the PSD files ? or more Finished images? .
Because it took me time to do the art thinking on the layer separation to make the psds.
That time I could use to make More images .
So , this poll is to know your opinion .
Keep the PSD files and the same amount of images with their nude or alt variations.
Or reduce the psd files to one or two and make more images not necessarily with those variations ...
let me know .... Thanks . :)

Dont worry , I will keep variations even if I reduce the number of PSD . I really formulated bad this poll , and now I doubt of the results .. :(

2022-10-03 20:05:57 +0000 UTCThat is what I am getting from most people . I will probably keep some psd to the ones that want to see the process , but using the time to make at least a new art . :)

2022-10-03 13:04:57 +0000 UTCI know you are an artist, but I am not, so the PSDs do nothing for me except show me how you draw the characters, which as an end user does not interest me since I'm not copying your work I don't need to know how you did it. I'm just here to admire the finished image and eagerly await what your creative mind comes up with next.

2022-10-03 12:59:13 +0000 UTCOh , I am sure I will keep the nude variants . Just not to worry on have a perfect psd file will give me time for an extra work ...:)

2022-10-03 12:56:13 +0000 UTCLess non actual pieces but keep variants. Like I don't need psds. But more art is nice. Nude/naughty clothes versions are always cool

2022-10-03 05:20:52 +0000 UTCOh , I would keep doing nude variants , its just that maybe a pure nude and not a complex mix of nude and dressed version .

2022-09-30 15:15:03 +0000 UTCI'm a lvl 5 supporter & personally the psd files usually just take up space rather than any desire to have but not to get the Hi-res nudes/variations would be a problem for me to be honest. I would love more characters of course but I understand the restrictions. It may not be feasible but perhaps to make additional images, a nude (NSFW) only and dressed (SFW) only poll could be added. I know this is probably a wanting my cake & to eat it too suggestion. I know this would add two new images without reducing the workload of other parts of the packs but if they are easier/simpler in process, I'm hoping it wouldn't over tax you in their creation

2022-09-30 14:52:19 +0000 UTCI agree , but lets hope I get more engagement here because the subject is linked to the money I receive so I have to act with care ...

2022-09-30 13:31:35 +0000 UTCI'm all for letting the poll run its course and for democracy to have its day, but if some patrons don't vote at all, it's basically saying they don't care. If you run a poll and then decide at the end the results don't matter because some people didn't vote, its unfair to everyone who engaged with you and made their voices heard. Just saying.

2022-09-30 13:27:16 +0000 UTCI understand that . But with 130 patrons I need at least 100 votes , and so far only 30 . polls sometimes dont give me the answer I need . lets hope for more votes . :P
Fern
2022-09-30 12:20:15 +0000 UTCReally don't need the PSD files I'd much rather have more genuine art each month

2022-09-30 06:45:58 +0000 UTCMaybe you could add past original characters or characters you drawn once in your packs in different poses

2022-09-29 20:23:24 +0000 UTCWell , the if people choose for more images , I will keep posting at least one pds for people to , as you said , enjoy the painting process ....
Fern
2022-09-29 20:10:11 +0000 UTCI like the PSD files, it helps me learn as an artist tho I think the majority of your audience are just viewer/enjoyers. Maybe you can offer those separate, like on gumroad or direct purchase? I like the alt versions too.

2022-09-29 20:08:05 +0000 UTCOh , I mean making more arts not necessarily with the nude variants . or make a nude without the worry with the dressed version . Anything to have more time to do more images .
Fern
2022-09-29 20:04:08 +0000 UTC"and make more images not necessarily with those variations ..." Just for clarification, do you mean adding more characters to your packs, or is it adding new types of art (such as that animated file you're doing with Jenny)? My vote also falls somewhere in-between. It's understandable to reduce the number of PSD's to focus on other work, but the nude/variant offerings can be interesting.

2022-09-29 20:01:03 +0000 UTCsorry for the wall of text mmm....do you have issues with publicity? yet the way you advertise 3 times for the pack (first lineup, then sketch, then pack format) is a great way of presenting and i know you are on twitter. i honestly don't have much idea how you could do more

2022-09-29 19:42:02 +0000 UTCive seen many artist push the PSD on their own, more costly, superior tier. me i do not understand really what they are since i cannot use them, i don't seemingly have the program that could function with them so its not much of a loss to me. but i know some fans absolutely want those at all costs. however, the only reason im personally here is because of the nude images in the packs. srry to say, im pretty sure you'd lose everyone without them. but if you want more revenue make a gumroad its very important for people to buy your previous pack. messaging you can be tough for shy people like me and it takes up your time. that and not many people realize they can even do that. Another thing is making popular characters. this not about making a lineup with only those, far from it. but one should be enough to bring some eyes. afterall, unknown and obscure characters are good and all but theres a reason they are called like that respectively. so the strategy could be : have a character thats popular, have the rest that appeals to you. incidentally, the current pack pretty much follows that (gwen is pretty popular).

2022-09-29 19:38:53 +0000 UTCIts and interesting point of view . Thanks for the input .. :)

2022-09-29 18:44:35 +0000 UTCPSD is cool if it's my own character or commission artwork because when i get commissions of my character I offer to pay extra to be allowed to use it on merch, and psd allows me to remove the background and stuff. But as just an admirer of someone else's art, it has no benefits to me. Seeing more characters or designs, on the other hand, does.
