Question- Character Cooldowns? (Patreon)
Content
Hey all! If you haven't caught it yet, the animation for February is finished and up in the usual places; the painting is still being worked on (apparently I didn't plan my time well!) but should be finished by the end of the day.
But, I have a question I've been thinking about asking. I'm starting to notice more and more complaints about the lack of variety in the characters being chosen for these monthly artings, and you have to admit it's hard to argue, especially in the animations... we see an awful lot of BFCT, dragon, wolfguy, over and over, and while I do like working with all those characters, it wouldn't hurt to see some of the others pop up more often. Is it time to shake things up and introduce a cooldown on characters chosen for the animation and painting?
Note that this is info gathering rather than a strict poll. If it overwhelmingly goes one way or the other than I'll probably just follow the results, but if it's fairly balanced I'll more... "take it under consideration", if that makes sense.
The exact details would probably be worked out over time, but should be fairly simple; something like, any character used in an animation can't be put forward in suggestions for the next month, or maybe two. It would take some trial and error to get things feeling just right I think.
I don't know if this will actually solve much, but it's an easy place to start at least. Think carefully before you vote, because if this does go into place it would mean that characters you want to see more of could never go on a lucky streak either. Anyone used would always be out for the next cycle or two.
So, what do you think? Cooldowns, yes or no? Is this a serious problem, or a couple of squeaky wheels? Only one way to find out!
