About the future of image sets (Patreon)

Hey folks. So I need to have talk with you all about image set rewards... moving forward.
Up until now, the number of image variations and poses and characters per set varied depending on my schedule and free time. I only guarantee at list one image with some variations. Any other pose image that fleshes out the set more would be a freebe extra.
Some times you would get an extensive set like the Kim possible set: https://www.patreon.com/posts/kims-new-last-20990233
Sometimes you would get something more straight to the point like the bunny senpai set: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bunny-senpai-iii-24804536
I understand that most of you prefer sets with at least 2-3 different poses with their own variations to get more out of the set and story. That's what I want to do most of the time too. But sometimes, time constrains with my regular life mean that I can't do that and so I have to go with a single image with variations.
I understand it's upsetting when it happens, but it is what it is. I have to deliver stuff monthly to justify charging money for, so sometimes I have to cut corners a bit.
I have been giving this some thought, and there is an alternative that I would be ok with, but the question is. Would you guys be ok with this solution?
So here is the possible solution: I could produce the sets not every month, but every two months. The first month I post the polls, and produce all the INK work of the set. The second month I get to coloring and text.
This means I would still produce image content every month but spread out the INK and FINAL product on a two months basis. By doing this, it gives me more flexibility to insure at least 2-3 poses/Progression for a very solid set rather then reducing it to something smaller that some of you may find disappointing for the character involved.
So these are the options:
A) The volume of each sets will vary and will only guarantee one single image as stated in the tier reward. Extra poses are only bonuses If I happen to have the free time to do them. Aka I don't change anything from what I am already doing, and the volume of work dedicated on each set will vary.
B) I spread things on a 2 months basis rather then monthly to give myself more time to insure the set will have a fair amount of variations every time. I would still post goodies monthly (Month 1 are the polls and I post the INKs/lines of the set, and Month two is the final product with full color and text).
I want to pass on this to you and let you decide what you would prefer to happen. Please understand that it can only of the two options. There is a reason why the Tier only promise ONE image and that's because I can't guarantee to be able to produce big sets monthly every time. By allowing me to spread this on two months, that's much more realistic for me.
So there it is, I ll let you guys decide what you want.
