I just wanted to get your HONEST opinion on character polls/pose polls, not the character creation one because thats just for fun idc if you like it or not

BUT the question is , do you guys like voting on characters and poses or do you feel it sets you up to expect or desire your choice which ultimately doesn't win which makes things feel unfair or something like that 


why I ask is because how it goes is :
1. someone suggests Bakugo x Kirishima, I put it in the poll

2. you guys vote in Bakugo x kirishma, so itll get finished

3. I then do another poll on pose and/or size difference ( size difference specifically for this example)

4. now the people that voted in Bakugo x Kirishima ORIGINALLY ... maybe don't like the pose or body type option that won so now even though patrons wanted Baku x Kiri, it has turned into something they no longer like ? (I speculate) but patrons voted in those extra details/poses because maybe they don't prefer baku/kiri but DO like a specific pose or detail

... do you get what im saying ?? its like a push and pull and in the end who wins???

so the alternative is that I would have just picked something I wanted to draw and a pose I want to draw without your input because I FEEL like the input portion is giving people false hopes/realities and then the reputation of the product is damaged?

NOW im just theorizing this which Is why I ask if you guys like it or not, so if you're fine with how everything is going just vote that you like the plls , im just seeing if majority are not okay with them , that is all

Glad you ask this, because with your patron I've always felt like too many votings might not be a good idea. When you present a set of options it's usually very predictable what will win. Which has made your pose and character choices a tad less exciting. So, if you want to please the most peeps, then keep going like this. It's certainly working well! But I'd personally love to see more diverse content from you. Stuff you personally just wanted to draw or experiment with~

My thing is that I usually find myself in the minority in those votes. It makes me keep questioning if your Patreon is right for me. Fortunately you usually make some other works that I like.

actually its interesting because this is what I feel YOU guys feel. what *I* feel is that the characters that win I would never typically draw and the ones that lose are the ones I ould probably be drawing without a poll. And usually the characters that win I expect I wont be able to draw nicely but then they end up better than I thought, so its weird. Maybe Ill reduce polls to 1 a month instead of 2 1/2

GasaiV

fair fair . I often am rooting for the ones that get the least votes as well but then again.. if less people want that option than maybe it isnt good for my *business* and then the lesser known/voted characters can be saved for commissions or such. Still trying to figure it out

I haven’t been around long, so I’m a little neutral on this. But there is something to be said for the lack of “pleasant surprise” when something is released. If we know what’s coming, it takes alway some of the joy of receiving it. There’s still joy, don’t get me wrong, but maybe it’s less impactful? Not sure, just postulating here. It is fun to have a choice, but it does suck when what you vote for always seems to lose.

I personally enjoy voting even if what I pick doesn’t get chosen but I personally enjoy picking positions that you haven’t done/ done in a while. Idk a good neutral ground you can take is you personally pick your top favorite positions you want to do and make a poll. (Love your work Either way). Also when it comes to polls I usually pick the ones I want first than later in the day I go back look at the ones that are the top and re pick the one I would rather have over the other.

I always figured the polls were just to give you a general sense of what people are looking for, not something to be held to so rigidly, if that makes sense. I always encourage artists to draw what they want, but this is Patreon and there is a financial aspect to it, so I get the desire to gauge what people want.

I somehow always end up picking the least popular options & it’s always a little expectation crushing

GasaiV

oh wow that is interesting!!! this is a good point im going to take that into consideration I never though about it that way

GasaiV

hmmmm true... maybe the pose polls are better for OCs since the personable aspect would then become the pose so its more valued , where as with characters its the character thats most important and the pose is secondary

GasaiV

For sure and thats usually what I expect. Like I support 50 artists on patreon so when a poll comes up I just vote on what I want and hope for the best. I think where I fuck it up is when I then also ask for modifications/poses that further divide the audience into more groups that in turn lessens the amount of people who are getting everything they want ???

GasaiV

very fair and thats why I ask becaus Im know there are these patrons but idk if its a ton or a few

I feel like in every poll I've participated in my choice has never won, and while the other perks of the Patreon I feel are worth it, the votes just kinda end up going in the vain of the works you usually post and there's nothing new and fresh that arises from them. Though I have only been here a short time so maybe my perspective is a bit skewed because of that, but I felt it was important to get my input out here.

GasaiV

I feel like I offer too many options too . So maybe the solution is maybe 5 characters per poll and 3 poses. then its less likely your choice wont make it in kinda thing

Them's the breaks with Majority Wins ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But on another note, I find the polls a useful gallery on how commissions would work with you, with a lot of client input on visual cues, which incidentally make for a potential pose and kink/detail portfolio.

GasaiV

surprisingly the multitude of options makes commissions much harder aswell lmaoo

I like the poll because it's another way to interact with you, like suggesting what i might like to see... however, like many, I barely felt on the winning choice, and when it comes to pose, I'm really interested in all that you suggest, because each pose for a character show something different (and different kink). I know it is a really big work, but I vote neutral because I feel like I want to let you explore more of you art and poses and theme, and polls feel for me like I'm asking you to cut a part of your creativity just to please the most... Your instinct brought you there, so please show me more, and I'll be glad to give you feedback if you want. Take care <3

Well I am in the vote that usually is not winning, but that is my life. I do feel that there is a lot too choose from and to be honest, as you want, your art felt more unique before. Now it seems more the regular poses win. Still I do enjoy your art, even with the long wait. And always enjoy the extra huge hyper :3c

I personally like the votings because they are plainly fair, they lead to represent what the majority of us wants, although i have to admit that i rarely voted for what gets chosen, so it is a little frustrating

Well, voting is a double-edged sword. It makes it easy to please people, since 'what the people want wins', but it also takes away originality and surprise. Personally, I am missing the times when we didn’t get to vote on everything outside which person it is going to be. There is no real surprise to the sets anymore, since everything has already been revealed. Not to mention that majority votes often result in the same type of poses winning, taking away from the originality of your art. There were times when one could get really surprised by which pose you picked for yourself, now it is just… people want large bulge/ass, so that is what they get.
