Hi again!
I've been creating animations here for about a year now, and I'm always trying to deliver on both quality and quantity. But realistically, I need to strike a balance to make this feasible. I'm conducting a survey to learn what people want from the monthly rewards.
You may vote for as many choices as possible, but please try to prioritize your most valued options. There are symbols next to each choice, mostly indicating the difficulty, but also costs for software/hiring, and unknown variables.

Many of these variations are things I've implemented in last month's Rodeo animation. I've only ever done skin color variants for the Elf queen, but I've never done male skin variants before. It seems very common in other animations out there.
One of the options is for me to attempt Live2D, which is a program I've only barely dabbled in before. My hope is that it will be less work for me, but my main concern is that there are many other more-experienced artists already offering this. If you are willing to allow me to experiment for one reward cycle, we'll see if it helps or hurts the subscriber count. If not, I can continue doing traditional frame animation as usual.
Also, a member requested a version of the Rodeo video without music, so I've uploaded it here for everyone. I will keep such options in mind for the future.
