Opinion's Plz -- and small news update
10 years ago
Going to moms for a couple of days, which is kind of a bummer! Means more delays, which sucks. But that's not what this journal is really about, so we'll put it aside for now.
I've talked about this in stream, but I wanted to make a journal basically asking ya'll your thoughts on the matter! That matter being, that I am thinking about discontinuing patreon stills.
Keyword here is thinking, I don't like committing to an idea until I know it's not going to upset anyone. And if it does, than I'll try and hold off on it.
Reasons for this train of thought consist of two primary things: I feel like I'm putting a bit too much time into Stills, and it feels like people would rather Get/See more animations. The idea is that, I'd stop doing stills, so that I can try and do one animated -thing- for a single patron at a time, per month. There would probably be some caveats and restrictions on it, but yeah.
Bear in mind this is just an idea, I wanted to see if anyone had any major issues with the idea before I committed to doing it. Even if I did, I'd still probably do a couple of stills for the more recent backers, to try and keep things relatively fair. But yeah, what's your thoughts on the matter?
WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT OF OPINIONS, when I submit the Stills the month I'm working on, and this month, would you all prefer they be done as one big grouped up file like I've been doing? Or separated into individual submissions?

Here it is anyhow. I love your animations. If you can get one out a month then that would be great. It might be that you should stick with the stills just to get more for more people but I personally would love to see some more animations from you.
Butyeah, wait until you have proper funds D: STILL just the thought is appreciated. <3 Thankya for commenting n'stuff!
Example
I win a raffle still.
June = Picked in raffle.
July = pulled out of the raffle
August = put back in raffle
What do you think?
That, and while a Raffle is a really cool idea that I can get behind, it - and reserved slots for animation rewards - just kind of feel like another commission. Which I'm holding off on doing anything like that for animations, until I've taken care of some stuff for my health.
I appreciate the suggestion, and comment though! Means a lot to get comments like that when I'm debating things like this. So thank ya.
Yeah, discontinue things that are causing you no end of grief. Continue things that are awesome, instead.
butyeah, that's the plan, awesome things.
Do awesome things, worry about silly self-imposed requirements later.
"Please don't send me your centipedetaur with six arms dual wielding flails I don't have time to do that" or "I'm going to have to cut your 14 foot wingspan out of this still because I have other goals to meet this month" and other completely reasonable things... but if you say them in advance you won't have to feel bad about saying no.
