Content

And I'd like y'all to be part of it.

I'd like your help with how I go forward with Patreon; specifically the reward scheme. I'm going to be making a poll, probably next month, on what people would like me to add or remove. 

I have some of my own ideas on what I could potentially change up, but I thought I'd ask the patrons as well if there's anything in particular they'd like to see on the poll. As a random example, perhaps a 'Choose your own adventure' comic, where patrons vote on how the story progresses.

Maybe you're part of other Patreons and really like one or two things that they do. Maybe you've always wanted to see me offer a certain type of content. Or maybe you just have a cool idea you think would fit really nicely into how I do things. If you've got something on your mind, by all means lemme know! Either by commenting here or a private message if you'd prefer some anonymity. 

The eventual poll I will make will include all the current rewards/perks, as well as new ones I had in mind and what are suggested. While I can't do everything, I can at least see what the majority of people want me to make more of. 

And that's absolutely the least I owe you all for making this Patreon exceed my expectations by far! This is the longest I've drawn consecutively without taking long, looong breaks in between, and I personally feel it's done my art a lot of good. I want to do more for you all, but with time being a limiting factor in most cases, I think this is a good step in the right direction. Making the most of my time just makes sense!

Look forward to seeing what people might have to suggest, and especially the poll results next month :).

This isn’t helpful but keep doing awesome variants and the like super fun to see those and polls too. One of my top artists easy.

I do think a CYOA comic would be fun, especially if there was the option to submit ideas for the poll. As for things to remove/not remove, I would say to not remove 'The List' pictures, or at least leave it long enough for the people currently on it to get their turns.

LureDA

I was thinking the same, letting Patrons decide what happens both in regards to the poll options and the poll results itself. My only concern about a CYOA comic would be the update speed, at least if I wanted to keep the quality as high as possible. That's stuff for Future Lure to worry about though. What a sucker that guy is. And no worries about 'The List'! I'll definitely make sure those on the list who have been waiting patiently are given a picture no matter what happens.

LureDA

Thanks Hojo! I appreciate your kind words. I'll strive to be even more gooderer.

Lygot

For Update Speed, you could make each 'Chapter' be a two-month thing. Month 1 is the Sketch, Month 2 is the actual Coloring. Maybe take suggestions for the next poll at the end of Month 1 and actually put up the poll a week or so into Month 2. Or if you wanted to release a chapter monthly, you could just leave the Comic without coloring, and maybe give us the option to vote on coloring a given Chapter as one of our monthly Variants.

1: GID and Male/Female CID content 2: A free monthly sketch for the Patrons on the higher tiers (Limited Amounts) 3: A Tournament where characters compete and Patrons vote for the loser of each round

LureDA

I would like to try and release a chapter monthly if a CYOA type of content is voted for highly, so I think leaving the colors out for now is the right call. Maybe leave it up to a variant choice like you said isn't a bad idea. I appreciate the input quite a bit!

LureDA

Thank you for the suggestions TheLairVerse! I hadn't really thought of any of them, so consider them all added to my poll next month. If you wouldn't mind clarifying a couple of things for me: 2. While I have a fear I wouldn't be able to commit to many sketches a month, my second worry would be I hadn't originally set limits on my tiers, and doing so now might be awkward. Or were you thinking it'd be a new higher tier than my current highest? 3. This tournament idea is sort of like a prolonged character poll? I see that it's different in where patrons would vote for the loser. Are you imagining that I'd draw each match up, the winner tying the loser? Or just the ultimate winner in bondage? Or something else entirely?

Lygot

Not sure if this is exactly what LairVerse was suggesting, but Girlstrapped on DA has done something similar called the 'Tournament of Ties'. Basically, a single elimnation bracket of OCs. For each match, there's a simple pre-match picture, 1-2 pages of comic for the actual bondage fight, and then a post-match pic of the loser tied up. https://www.deviantart.com/girlstrapped/gallery/69230881/tournament-of-ties

LureDA

Ahh interesting! That does seem like a cool idea. Assuming that's what LairVerse had in mind, I'd definitely be interested!

Lygot

It's been a pretty fun thing to follow, and I'd be interested in seeing your take. It being all OCs made specifically for the 'Tourney' was actually a fun piece, because no one came in with preconceived favorites. But I could see it being just as fun with a list of known characters

LureDA

Designing OCs is a nightmare for me, so I'd probably use known characters (or maybe OCs of other artists that were voted on/I have permission for). I suppose that's a bridge we'll cross when we come to it though!

JakTheRenegade

For the sketches, I was thinking maybe a $20 or $25 Tier. Lygot nailed it. It’s a Bracket Tournament where the winner moves on. So, for an 4 bracket tournament for example; Match 1: Sakura vs Ino. The Patrons vote and Sakura ‘wins’ so the pic would be Ino tying Sakura. Match 2: Tenten vs Hinata: The Patrons vote and HInata ‘wins’ so the pic would be Tenten tying Hinata Match 3 would be Ino vs Tenten. Patrons vote and Ino ‘wins’ so the pic would be Tenten tying Ino This is just a four-person example, can do it with more characters, OCs, different series, etc. Or you can add more scenes if you want.

Lygot

Yeah, I could see having 'themes' be just as fun as OCs. 'Naruto Girls', 'Disney Princesses', etc.

LureDA

Thanks for clarifying both of those! If people do end up voting for a tournament style setting, I figure I can just hold a poll on whether people want established characters, OCs, a mix or otherwise. And if people end up voting for sketches, I can definitely work them in somehow.

JakTheRenegade

I went for sketches as I figured that they would be much less time consuming than lined or full colour pics

TakeOverFairy

I am not to sure on what to suggest for removal or adding on. But whatever you pick. I look for to it.

LureDA

So be it! I shall depend on your votes next month to help determine what I do/don't do then \o/
