WHAT'S NEXT for the STRAPFORD POUND... (Patreon)
Content
I would like to Thank you all for providing so much support and understanding surrounding the Pugly issue, your show of support & enthusiasm for the artwork and the story has been very overwhelming & humbling, Thank You ALL so Much. *HuGGE BiGG HuGGz* :D:D:D
I've been reading Everyone's comments and thoughts surrounding not only Page 11 but the Strapford Pound in General and thinking about All of your suggestions regarding how I should proceed from here...
I've been trying to reply to everyone's comments and messages, there's a handful of people who I still need to reply to... But in the mean time I wanted to clarify a couple of things which I may have mentioned throughout the past 24 hours among my replies...
One of my main concerns from what's unfolded, has been how I didn't realise just how extreme the images were. When I look at an image (especially an image I'm drawing) I tend to break down all the individual elements (from clothing & accessories to individual-line-details) and see them all separately and so it's very much like I'm so close to the images I create, as a result I don't really see the images as a whole.
Because of this I didn't realise how all the elements small & large took the character to a much darker place than I realised or intended.
As a result of this I may reach out to the odd patron for feedback regarding some of the future Original Strapford Pound images which I know are going to need to be toned down. ^^
THE NEXT STEP:
I wont make any sweeping proclamations... With the Strapford Pound being a comic which is constantly walking the line between patreon safe & patreon risqué content I need to take each step slowly and carefully.
There are 6-8 Comic-Strip Pages left, of the Strapford Pound.
Instead of working on page 12 now and before making any sort of major decision or premature polls about the future of the Strapford Pound... I've decided I First need to Finish Writing the Script for the Remaining Pages of the Pound Story.
In addition I will be creating the Thumbnail-Layouts for each of the remaining pages. As I really need to know that I'm not inadvertently creating another page which will cross into elements some people might find exceedingly uncomfortable to view. :-s
Once I've done this, I will have a much better idea of whether keeping the Strapford Pound here on my Patreon is a Good or Bad idea.

I'm sorry to everyone for making this a bigger issue than it likely needed to be, I'm use to receiving divisive comments with some images, but with this page I really wasn't mentally prepared for it and as a result my immediate reaction was feeling like I had disappointed and let all of you down...
...Thankfully I now know that's not entirely the case... And this has been an experience I have no desire to repeat...
BUT for those of you who did feel let down by the Page, I Truly am so Sorry.
My Sincerest Pink & Fluffi Thank You's to Everyone for all your Kind Words of Support, Encouragement & Feedback.

P.S. As I've said in past posts, If I do have to prematurely remove the Strapford Pound from my Patreon, I will continue to post pages of the Strapford Pound Publically, probably not as often as here... BUT... In its place on my patreon I do have an 'Office Place Bimbo OR Sissy Story Ready to begin.
P.P.S. What will this mean for the future of the Strapford Pound focused 'Polls'...?!? To be honest, I'm not really sure, at this point, I will know more once the last several pages are fully planned out.
