Big Changes 2: Dawn of the Final Day (Tip Jar/Raffle)
10 years ago
And we're just about to close yet another chapter of Big Changes; just one more day of donations left! We've got quite a lot of new developments for
seritaph's Loonie for the upcoming chapter, too; a lot of the stranger mutations were snapped up at the last minute, leaving us with quite a chimera!
Here's the set thus far:
Part 1) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15506621/
Part 2) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15538511/
Part 3) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15611349/
The Stoats:
1) Hips/Butt (With a commanding lead!)
2) Arms
3) Breasts/Feet (with a two-way tie!)
And the changes for this set are:
Hybridization: Corgi
Hybridization: Skunk
Lip Color (Vibrant Red)
And some thoughts on how this one went:
I'm really absolutely touched at the outpouring of support from the community; I probably couldn't have picked a worse time to launch this one (Since it was pretty much sandwiched between FC on one end and tax season on the other!) but the donations received still managed to eclipse the last set; thank you all so, so much! I'll be drawing the $100 donator rewards soon, so I'll be in touch with the folks who donated at that level, and I'll be announcing the next winner after the final picture goes up, so stay tuned!
The Small Changes didn't seem to attract much attention; I'm thinking of folding them into a catch-all full Colorset Control Big Change option for the next one as a result, since it's probably worth more to someone to be able to decide an entire color scheme at once instead of the piecemeal way the Small Changes had it set up.
Likewise, the Big Changes moved very quickly, perhaps too quickly; in the two of these I've done and in talks with other people regarding it, most people can only think of between 4-8 things for the list, when a system like this would be far better served with a far broader list to pick from; I've even considered things like breaking Big Changes up into two different things, one where I just create a blank-slate character and people just donate to radically change it in basically any way they like, operating from a huge list, with less guidelines in the way of preexisting characters, kinks, or concepts, and doing the raffle stuff as a separate entity where it's just straight-up growth-for-tips and the winner of the raffle gets their own 4-picture set, sorta like how it works now but sans the alterations; I'd be really interested to know what everyone thinks on this one!
Lastly, I'd like to ask everyone how often I should do these! I really have a lot of fun with them and they don't really interfere with my normal commission rotation, but I want to hear thoughts on how frequently people like to see them; my current hope is that I'd do one every other month, but if more or less frequently strikes people as a better choice, let me know why!
