An apology for the Dexter's Mom Patreon Deluxe (Patreon)
Content
As has been made clear through numerous comments and private messages, a lot of you were disappointed about the unannounced change I made to the Dexter's Mom Deluxe animation. (Edit: not a single comment or private message I received was rude or angry in any form. Every single one of them was polite in expressing their disappointment. I'm not being barraged by people wielding flaming torches XD)
For this, I sincerely apologise.
One of my main Patreon rewards is being able to vote on the content of the animated pin-up, and then I make that content. And while the main Dexter's Mom animation follows the concept as voted on by you, I thought a different idea I had for the Deluxe would be more interesting. Whether or not the Deluxe I made is interesting is besides the point: that's not what was voted for, and it isn't what won. It was a lapse of judgement to change the concept drastically, and I apologise for the disappointment caused. Every other Deluxe I have made has been exactly what patrons voted for, so this is the rare case of me not delivering not what people wanted. Every other Deluxe was what people voted for, so why did I decide to change it this time? My brain doesn't work properly sometimes...
If you enjoyed the animation, or even prefer it to the original concept, I'm glad that you did. But even so, to change the contents without giving you folks a chance to vote for that change or dispute it is not in line with how my Patreon works. I promise that this is the first and last time this will happen.
So what will I do about this? I will make another Deluxe at some point that is much closer to the original concept (Dexter's mom going through another pregnancy, but this time the babies double every time she takes a pill) and release that to fulfil what was originally voted for.
When will I make it? I'll try to find time to make it in between other projects, but if I am unable to do so, I will make it and post it during my June hiatus. Once completed, I'll send it to all March patrons. I promise that this animation will be exactly what you were waiting for. I apologise if I can't make it immediately, but I have to move on to other projects like "Is This Yours?" episode 2 and the runner-up animated gif from the last animated pin-up poll. But in between those, I will begin to work on the Deluxe.
Not good enough? I will give anyone a refund who was specifically waiting for this Deluxe. This isn't reverse psychology: I've never refused a refund from patrons who felt they were let down by my content. Please message me privately if you wish for me to send you a refund and it shall be done. And yes, you will still get the other Deluxe when it is finished, even if you're no longer a patron.
I like to think I usually make the right call, but sometimes I don't. Switching the concept without much warning wasn't the right call. So again, I'm sorry. _o_
