Hey, everyone!

While I continue to complete chapter 1 of "Jacob and the Raven's Kiss"(Due to release this week!), I wanted to take a moment and ask a very important question to you all:

What should I be focusing on? Animations or Comics? Should I be doing both? If so, what percentage of both? Keep in mind that they don't take an equal amount of time(Animations are much longer!) However, it all comes down to what everyone here wants! I'm super happy either way, but I want to make sure my efforts are being properly distributed based on demand, so please let your voices be heard! Vote and comment about what you personally enjoy the most!

I'm going to let this poll run for 1 week! I appreciate everyone taking the time to vote on what they find most interesting :)

Thank you!

maybe as, over time, animations get easier to make and the process speeds up, you can move more to them to help tell your stories. But it's the characters behind the images that really give them the oomph and it sounds like a full, character-based, animation-driven story is just beyond where we can be atm. Happy with anything from Beetle-burg, but keep focus on the characters; that'd be my vote.

Thanks, Steve. I value your feedback so much. I don't want to ever quit doing comics/stories. It's in my blood at this point, but I wanted to give people the option to vote on what they feel strongest about. In an ideal world, I would be creating both in much more abundant quantity. And, perhaps in time, that will be the case! From the looks of it, people are quite happy with how things are currently. That makes me very happy. I'll continue to monitor what people say as time moves on, but I won't be making any drastic decisions without many months notice. <3

Probably mirroring what was said above, but I'll throw in my two cents as well. I think regardless of the outcome of the poll, you shouldn't adopt an all of one/ none of the other approach. You have worked very hard to get the number of patreons you have, and it's because you have had both animations and stories. I personally am a story guy. I feel your character design and the backstory you give to your characters really make the sweet, sexy, and growth filled moments the characters have even more impact than a single thing that has growth content. Yet, I see the appeal of an animation with quick and to the point growth content for the viewer. I say as long as there's some of both, I'll continue to be a patreon.

Thanks, MJ. If I were to go with my personal interests, I would lean towards a pure 50-50 approach, but this poll is to just get a good idea of what my fans are interested in. As I echoed in my response to SteveBasic, I won't be making any drastic changes without letting everyone know months in advance first. I appreciate you <3

I'd vouch for animations, but as others said the stories are great too, and a balance of both is good

Your stongsuit definitely seems to be comics to be honest. I would just keep animation more in the background as an extra thing. It’s been great so far and will totally improve over time, but I would say you should definitely work on the movement in your animations at the moment

Ace of Hearts

I really like your stories and getting to know your characters and their relationships. That's really what keeps me here.

I'm so happy to hear that my characters and plot have such a positive impact on so many of you. Thank you so much for letting me know that. :)

I'll agree with most of the voices here. Your comics are amazing, and they're why I'm a patreon. The occasional animation is fine, but please keep the comics your focus.

Last animation with Mercy, you really honed in on something most BE animations don’t capture: realistic weight. The breasts moved very naturally for their increasing size, even if that meant in odd or imperfect ways, like falling off to the side. It was good physics. It was awesome. I’d like to see you keep innovating in that area.

Thanks, K! I'll make sure my next animation is even better than the last one ;)

Your comics and animations are great . while i would like to see more animations, I also know it takes a lot more time than making a comic. You can't just pose, screen, do another pose, add effects in post. It needs to be a fluent transition between 50 poses. btw your animations are some of the more realistic ones i've seen. Your morphs and movements are spot on. So just do what you feel like doing more. whether it's animations or comics, go for it i'm fine with either. I'm getting quality content either way :)
