Progress and poll results. (Patreon)

I finished up a couple of short segments that take place after the first match and have started work on the second match. There's another segment I had to skip working on until the results of the latest poll were in, but I'll get to that in a minute.
I'm doing something different for this second match and it seems to be working out well, at least for this match. A big issue with the matches is coming up with original sequences and trying to pace them out. I started out the match by writing the opening up to where the match was about to officially begin... that's how I always do it. Then comes the part where I just sit and try to come up with something.
This time, however, I was actually going to go to sleep when I got to this point, so I wasn't going to worry about trying to figure out how to start the match until the next day. Then, while I was lying in bed, I came up with an idea for a starting sequence, as well as an ending for the match. Instead of just going to sleep and forgetting everything, I got up and started writing out the match step by step.
As I was writing down what I had come up with, I came up with a few more moves and just kept writing until I had a solid start to the match. The next day I just followed what I had written and posed everything out. Then, instead of trying to come up with the next set of poses, I took a break and eventually thought of the follow up sequence, wrote it down, and like the first time, came up with a few more ideas to add to what I had initially thought of.
Next up on my to-do list is posing out that sequence and then tack on what I had in mind for the ending. This has been way easier than trying to come up with ideas on the fly while I'm doing the posing. Hopefully I can repeat the process again for the next match. Bonus preview pic time!
Anyway, as for the poll results. Some of this may not make any sense for those of you who didn't see the polls, but it is what it is. Keep in mind that the final results are a combination of both the Patreon and Subscribestar polls. That being said, first up was the tag-team belt design. The winner of that was option 1.
Before I talk about the other poll, I want to thank everyone that took part in it, and a special thanks to those who commented your additional thoughts about the subject. I took those into consideration for how things are going to be going forward. I know I didn't reply to any of them, but I knew I was going to address it here. And before I get to Bill, I'll respond to the most important thing in the comments: April's boobs are the same size they've always been :D
On to Bill. It was very close, but in the end having the change be temporary won out. It was close enough, however, that I'm going to alter things a bit. Bill will remain the same in most cases, but from now on when she's in a highly emotional state or extremely aroused (even if it's just from thinking about it), she will phase into her new look. I will also start to evolve her speech patterns so that they're more normalized, but she'll still word things oddly, at least for the time being.
If there's any questions or comments, please let me know, and if there's anyone you'd like to see featured in a bonus picture set for those at mid-carder and higher, let me know that as well!
Back in a few with another update!
P.S. I almost forgot... I was messing around and came up with a fairly ridiculous little animation that will be in the last Private Lessons one-off so yeah... look forward to that whenever I get around to making it.
