Apology- Future polls (Patreon)
Content
I felt like I needed a few minutes to make a post about my pinup pose pickings, and in hindsight how I view this as an error on my part.
Originally my thought of choosing pose B in question from this post ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/ink-eyes-vs-b-26233751 ) was a bit misguided. I made the poses well after already realizing that A was so very close to what I've already drawn. I felt had I known it beforehand, I might not have let it be in the options at all. But that shouldn't really excuse it from being a choice. I just didn't want people to think I'd run out of pose ideas and grown stale (though I feel like that sometimes anyway). In my worry, I'm afraid I've put off some of you, my supporters, from voting and essentially said 'it doesn't matter' by choosing the B pose, and for that, I need to apologize.
It does, in a way, make me feel disappointed in myself, because I held a vote and really should have committed to it. If I just wanted to gauge feedback, I should have simply said so. I've done it before--posted a few poses, said it wasn't a vote, just wanted vocal feedback and reasoning why. But in this case I chose an actual vote, and should've just stuck with it.
Going forward, If I have a vote, I'll treat it as such, and go with the winner as it should be. I want high participation in my Patreon--I like active votes, topics, feedback, and picking the losing picture, no matter my reasons, feels like I'm discouraging that, or not putting value in your support. If I'm tossed-up between two poses and just want vocal feedback then I'll do so, and avoid the 'poll' option--and if I do a vote, will treat it as such, even though Patreon doesn't hide the current standings before voting, like I wish it would.
So for those who voted 'A' and are left disappointed, I am sorry. If a refund for the month helps fix things I'd be happy to do so. Your Satisfaction with my artwork I make from your support is literally what keeps me alive and fed. I shouldn't have taken it so lightly. I hope I can be more reliable and consistent from now on, and keep the quality of work high.
Thank you all for your support-each one, at every tier.
