Happy Tuesday friends!

I'm gonna attach the results of the votes here in a sec. TLDR is that Chasity is making leg-way, and it looks like we're 50/50 on whether to do the Escalation or Chastity chapter AFTER the one I'm about to start work on (Trios first fuck sesh). But more to come on that in a sec...

( Click here if you want to read what these chapter's ideas are about. )


So, I've been thinking - I've got it in my head that I want to do the Escalation comic BEFORE the Chastity one. I just think it sets up the story a bit better. But that doesn't really mesh with the whole way I've been doing votes and leaving it up to you guys. Taking the reigns halfway doesn't seem fair. Plus, my ideas of what to do after Chastity, really are in the air - so having everyone's votes really is helpful... I dunno!

I'm still figuring things out and trying to see how best to mesh Patreon into the comic. Maybe the votes should be simpler, and theme focused, or less story focused (like votes on locations, sex-acts, settings, or clothes)? Let me know what you all think? What sorts of things do you want to be helping me decide on? Like-wise, if you really loved voting on the major beats of the comic, let me know too?

Anyway, while I ruminate on how/what to do with future votes - I figured I'd give you all something DIFFERENT to vote on this month. An exciting one!

It's all about Art-style!

For this next chapter, we've got two choices! Both with plusses and minuses! And this time, I really am 50/50...

For the fuck-sesh chapter should I do...

- Flat colors and shading, just like the QnA comic (it's faster and has a clean look)

- Maximum Render and Shading,  just like the other core chapters (takes ages, but comes out looking pretty)

See, I had A LOT of fun with the basic look, and I think it came out looking pretty good. But I also love how the pages come out when I do a full-effort rendering? Help me choooose!

so hard to vote I love both styles, I for one don't mind you taking the reigns, maybe use the votes to do milestone sections and give yourself a section or two between that you can work on in your own time and pace, that way writers block can be alleviated by changing what you are working on at a time. one thing that might help is a timeline as I would love to read in order

Mikey

I absolutely adore your style, and I'd much rather you get to do what you do best and present a product you're proud off than anything else.

Amadose

I'm proud either way! I genuinely enjoy both art styles! Like, one makes the linework sing, the other lets me render. Both feel good to do =D

I mean, escalation could work just as well after chastity, like increasing his time, or setting special requirements for his releases or any such things.... (Only muzzle deep in cream pie, deepthroat a certain size, etc...) That said, if you already have something in mind for those chapters, you should still do them how you see fit. I recommend using the votes not as a strict set of rules, but rather as guidelines, to see what we, your patrons, like to see. The way you set that up, with the strike system is perfect for that, you don’t have >a< winner, but a set of winners from which to choose. As to what after, you said somewhere you’d like them to be somewhat poly in the end, with Owen being the alpha of >both< of them. Personally, I’d like to see him working for that, an alpha is the superior, but also cares for his betas. Show he cares for Nick as well. Especially after Nick is in chastity I’d love to see Owen get increasingly physical with him. That doesn’t have to mean fucking per se, maybe just assisting, fluffing, cleaning. Maybe one day he stays for aftercare stuff like that. Obviously, that’s not for me to decide but that might be a good thing to vote on? I kept this one for last, because I can’t make up my mind: The art style. I voted for flats, because while not as fancy they still look awesome, and the story really is the best part for me.

Amadose

Yeah, votes on special interests might be a good way to lean. I'd just worry it would take me a while on when some of them might who up or not. I haven't given much thought to how their relationships will look at the end of all of this. My head right now is very much just writing and looking at their cucking-year-one. That other stuff is like maybe year-five? I'm not sure yet! But I like the idea of them all being sensitive and connect to one another!

Tigerchris

I was thinking on the way to work. Maybe you could on occasion have the high detail shading and stuff for certain money shot moments.

I think flat looks awesome too! I recommend using flat for many page and use maximum render and shading for highlight page! (Like normal talking page is flat, and sex and cumming scene or judy after fuck and cum everywhere scene is maximum render and shading.)

Retromancer

I don't want the chastity scene to come too soon. If your gut is telling you that the escalation scene would be better, go with that. I think the suggestion above about using the Patreon votes as a guideline rather than a rule is the best way to go

I don't think the polls should be a hard rule that you have to stick to no matter what. In my opinion, the best way to do it would be 50% the pacing/order of the story and 50% the polls. For example, I think some chapters work better before the chastity chapter and some work better after. I think the wedding chapter would be a very good example of chapters that work pretty well after the chastity transition. I think the chastity chapter would be a before and after for our three characters and I completely agree with Fen about Owen having to take care of both Judy and Nick, specially after Nick after being locked up. But these are just my ideas lol. Regarding art style, I think you could use the full render for special panels of pages. I think a lot of us would love having the pages come out sooner but that's just impacient me hehe.

DashieLashie

Just one idea more. I recall you said that you didn't wanted to have a hard timeline. That you wanted everything to be more flexible on how the story is understood. But maybe you could make the chapters fit into some timeframe? that way you can do the chastity one knowing that later chapters will occur before or after that depending on how they work best? That way you could show Nick doing chastity full time if that's how they decide to do it without hurting other chapters. Just ideas.

Bondrewd

I would personally prefer it if you used polls as a way to gauge interest more than seeing it as a strict mandate. In the end, we're subscribed because we enjoy your work. If you think some shuffling around leads to a better experience or to better storytelling, do it that way. I think you know best how you can tell these stories. As long as the voting is not completely ignored, I won't feel cheated if you take some liberties.

Amadose

Of course - I'd not throw away the votes or ignore any of it! I want to make something we're all having fun making and reading =) Thanks for all of this B!
