Steering Committee Character Creation - Economics

It looks like the name "Serena" is winning pretty confidently in the name department. I like it, as well. So we'll go along with that. It sounds fitting for a lioness without being so exotic that it would estrange her from a contemporary setting.

In this poll, you're going to be determining her class status at her age of 27. I originally was going to do this whole write-up where I listed all the jobs she could have, but the choices ended up SO numerous, so I'm going to whittle it down to her g...

Steering Committee Character

Finished this up before bed, tonight. This character was created by polling the Steering Committee tier ($12) for her physical nature prior to allowing them to determine her adventures.

My computer shifted into night shift mode, so the screen tilted far away from the blue spectrum while I was shading, so as far as I can tell, she looks fine.

Steering Committee Character - Shades

Over the past week and a few days, I've been working with the Steering Committee ($12+), taking polls, feedback, and input, and letting them design their own character for future adventures to be determined by them. So far, this is what they've collectively envisioned, physically, with colors to follow when I have the time.

Right now they're determining a name for her, and will begin the process of determining other personality and fashion elements, this week. I want to do a more thorough char...

Steering Committee Character Creation - Naming

It's time for you, in the steering committee, to determine the name of this lioness. This isn't a poll, but just a place to collect your suggestions in the comments, and see how they're "liked" or reciprocated.

If you like someone's suggestion, please click the heart on their comment, so I get a good idea of what is popular.

If you have multiple suggestions, please make it easy on me and just post the one you like the most. Don't just spam names. Don't include m...

Steering Committee Character Creation - Sexuality

Oh, I'm not done with you humps, yet. You have more polls to fill! Right now I'm getting the ones that don't require accompanying art, while I work on main projects.

How sexuality is going to work isn't where one choice wins and cancels out all the others. It'll be handled more like how her age was handled, if you saw my video about how I arranged that information. Different choices will "tug" the character's final disposition in those directions. The degree of her straightness, gayness or bis...

Mai and Minh Roleplay

This idea just popped into my mind a bit ago and I spent a lazy Sunday doing it.

Steering Committee Character Creation - Pubes

This is going to be the last physical poll before we start into the fashion, personality, and setting detail, to get her story going. 

No full 70s style Lynne bush option, because I'm fairly certain it wouldn't get far, and having it be blue would look even more strange.

Image file attached for downloading and viewing convenience. Poll ends in 24 hours.

Steering Committee Character Creation - Primary Hair Color

Time to pick the primary hair color. Primary being the operative term, not necessarily "natural". After this, I may conduct a poll with different physical options, just to finalize things, or keep them as they are. We'll start covering "fashion" later on, as the character's personality comes into focus. I consider things like piercings and tattoos to be fashion. I don't like tattoos on furries, but if you d...

Steering Committee Character Creation - Recent Poll Results

Here are the results of the last three polls I had to count up on my own. I used the email notifications that came in as the comments were given, to count these up. Ignore the big line on the left cutting through everything. My scanner kind of sucks.

I tested poll creation this morning, and apparently it seems to be working fine, so hopefully any future polling options will be done through Patreon's system, which requires less attention from me.

Look forward to the hair color poll, comin...

Announcements

Hello! Sorry for being rather quiet this week. I've been bombarding the Steering Committee tier ($12+) with polls for the character that they're going to be creating. I'll be sharing sketches and images of the results with everybody once it gets set.

In other news, the steering committee has also decided that the next adult comic project will be Mai and Minh's Grand Vacation. And by no small margin! So, look for the completion of the first chapter of The Mission, and then the beginning of Mai ...

Patreon Polling Issue - Steering Committee

I tried to create more polls today for the steering committee character creation, but on the interface, in multiple browsers, when I went to type in a new field, it wouldn't insert the names. Instead it would create new fields with the letters I was trying to type in the first field. Everything was working fine up until yesterday. I'll have to wait until this resolves before we can continue creating this character.

Steering Committee - Project Poll

I said you guys would be busy with polls, didn't I? The last pages of the first installment of The Mission will be completed in December, so I'm going to let you determine the project that gets started after that.

I have four options on deck:

1. The Mission part 2 - The option to jump right in with the second (and probably final) installment of The Mission. The plot will detail the reveal of the breeding rituals among the Equine mentioned in the first part. The tone will...

Comic Rewards 12-05-2017

The Mission chugs along. My life is basically anthro horses, elves, and gambisons, these days. The first installment of The Mission is *almost* done. I wanted to get it done in November, but alas, I didn't want to hurry it. But there's just a couple of pages left to do to end it before the next big installment. Before then, the steering committee tier ($12+) will get to vote on the very next comic project. If you're in this tier, you're going to be pretty busy with polls this month!

All of The...

Steering Committee Character Creation - Data Aggregation Video

I know not everyone downloads the watches the videos, but since this is a fairly optional kind of thing, I figured a video would be a faster way to explain my process for aggregating this information and using it to shape the Steering Committee's character.

It's about 20 minutes long, since I like to be wordy.

As I explained toward the end, I'm going to be establishing some polls for you to take part in which will further flesh out this character's physicality, which I hope to have compl...

Steering Committee Character Creation - Finished

The period for aggregating the data on feature preferences has ended. I'm going to work on collating it a bit and probably make a video showing my results and processes for determining the character's nature, soon.

Thank you all for your input!

Steering Committee Character Creation part 1

This project was mentioned in the prior post to the public. You, in the steering committee tier, have the privilege of participating in the design of this character and his or her subsequent adventures. The guidelines are as follows:

- This entry is *ONLY* to determine the physical traits of the character, not their name, history, or whatever. That will come later. The fields for input in this entry are listed further down.

- The character is *not* constrained to...

Steering Committee Character Creation and Story Initiative

Longest title ever. But what is this about? Let's start from the beginning.

I'm always on a quest to increase the reward value of the $12 tier, giving them greater consideration on their input, voting on new projects, and access to videos. It recently came up that they can have a greater say in some things they'd like to see "happen" in stories. I declined this because I wanted to maintain full control of my own creations.

But then I thought: What if the Steering Committee had its own co...

A Simple Back Rub - WIP

Aron and Hilde. All back rubs end up this way. I'll color this soon.

I've been doing fewer "Ask" images in my spare time because I've had a little flurry of my own ideas, lately. I tend to look at Asks when I can't think of anything else to warm up with, or just draw for fun.

Mai and Minh's Day Off - WIP

I've had this idea about what Mai and Minh might be like outside of their duties at Priscilla's estate. I'm thinking of offering it as a possible comic idea to the steering committee tier in the future.

I'll add color to this in time.
