Hello Patrons!
Here is the second poll. Last year, I made a poll about style vs story. The results surprised me, as patrons had voted more in favour of story, with style being maintained. I was under the assumption that plot wasn't so high in people's list for my animation. But sometimes the deadlines I set for myself set me back stylistically. Usually I make one animated project a month. I often sacrifice story to get the sex scene done, as a story setup takes more drawing and more scenes.
As more people watched Star Love Zero Gravity, I was also surprised to see the story was a strong point of the animation. People really liked that there was some kind of plot, some lore, even if the sexual part took up less than 50% of the running time. But this project also took four months to complete. Romantic Weekend was a project I wished to complete in a month, but even after completely taking out a frotting scene, I also had to further cut a kissing scene to deliver on time. That project was a lot more work than I anticipated. Thankfully you will see the kissing scene completed for this month!
So I am wondering about whether patrons will be happy if more projects do take more than one month to complete. As with Star Love Zero Gravity, I can release special previews of complete animation each month.
Here is the question: How often do you want to see completed works, and is story a big priority?
OPTION 1: sexual activity, one animation a month: This is the option I almost always do, one animation a month, with little story or background. Just hot sex.
OPTION 2: sex and a story too, one animation a month: This is like "the Waiter Is Really Hot", "Grinding For Experience", or "Jay's Sex Toy", which has multiple scenes and a story, but a few sacrifices in style to get it done in one month
OPTION 3: sexual activity, I am patient for completion, with special previews: In a way, "Romantic Weekend" fits this bill, but I also imagine doing a harem animation with more characters, or a couple doing multiple positions in one animation, or maybe a couple cums multiple times. More sexual energy, but will take longer.
OPTION 4: sex and a story too, I am patient for completion, with special previews: This was how "Star Love Zero Gravity" was produced. There is much more story, character, acting, but still has a lot of sex.
It's tricky to commit to one option, so I will leave you to vote whichever options you like! The poll closes on January 24, at midnight.
