What pattern should I work on next? (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

I'm getting ready to start my next pattern digitizing project! This would create a digital version of one of my past successful patterns that I am ready to share. These patterns right now are finished but basically useful just for me, since they are just paper or cardboard at this time, so they definitely need some work put into them to trace them into a vector format and refine them a bit. 

The goal with these patterns is always to make them "easy to sew" or "easy to assemble" (something that I had as a goal for my existing plantigrade footpaw premium pattern I recently released.) Digitizing and test printing is a commitment of sometimes a month or several, since that process takes me a while to do. I also don't have an tutorial/assembly instructions written up, so that would come after the digitizing is complete. 

Ultimately these patterns are each something that I would end up making available as a Premium pattern for sale in the future on my etsy. 

Of the below options, I wonder what you would enjoy seeing next the most. I will describe them a bit further to help with the decision process, I hope! I will work on the most popular poll option first, the others might come later!

Head Dome Pattern

This pattern creates a foam head dome using half-inch upholstery foam. The head dome is a "blank" surface that features eye holes, eyebrow ridges, and subtle cheek shaping. A pattern for a liner would be included.

It will unfortunately not include ears or other parts (yet), but that might be something to add-on in the future. I want the head dome pattern to be good for use with other sculpting techniques, or pairing with a purchased cast base by other artists. Basically it would be there to provide a start as a blank slate for making nearly any critter shape mask.

The pattern is finished and I have had it in use with head domes made available at my dealers table at events, as well as used in several of my most recent fursuit heads and headbases I have completed.

Digitigrade Footpaws

This would be feet that give the illusion of standing on toes. (a contrast to my plantigrade footpaws, that stand on the whole foot). It includes the toes that you stand in as well as the heel part that fits up the calf as well. This pattern includes a liner, too. 

I have two versions of the digitgrade footpaw pattern, that I used in my work presently and in the past, but I recently merged them into a more simplified pattern that is ready to be digitized. So that it meets the "easy to sew" goal. The closest example of this finished pattern's shape is like the one I used on Bonk's feet. It includes the heel, and big, cute, relatively toony toes that can accommodate a whole foot in 1 toe to hide the human form.

5-digit Deluxe Handpaws

This is my deluxe pattern for puffy handpaws that I have been using for years. Its been refined over and over for many years to better match how I draw handpaws in art, and is now at a point where I am seriously happy with its look and fit. I really love handpaws made with this pattern A LOT. I would include instructions for lining or using stuffers (small pillows). This pattern is muuuuch more detailed than the free pattern on my site, and each digit is shaped and stuffed, can accommodate sewn claws, and is wonderfully dexterous.

An example of this pattern is seen over and over in my galleries. I use a version of it for almost all handpaws I make.

Hoof foot pattern

A pattern I developed a few years back for stuffed hooved horse feet made using marine vinyl and faux fur! It has been a while since I sewed up this pattern, but in the past I made a few commissions and dealers table stock using the pattern, but otherwise haven't used it recently. 

It is a relatively simple pattern that makes a hoof that fully surrounds the wearer's foot. I would also include a liner and an adaptation to create the look of a cloven hoof. Like my other patterns, it does not use foam, so it is a soft stuffed shape!

I hope these four options all excite you to learn about! As a goal, I plan to release them all eventually, as time permits, but please take a moment to vote for what you would like to see me digitize next! I'll post updates as I work on them of course! <3
