Changes Coming to the Fanart Poll (Patreon)
Content
Hello patrons, I’ve decided that I’ll be making a little change in content starting in March regarding the fanart poll.
So, with next month’s poll, I will be discontinuing the character modifier options (genderswap and plus size).
I have several reasons for this, which I’ll break down below.
So first off, as stated in my Patreon description, this page does primarily focus on more average sized characters for pinups, so it would make sense to try and lean content in that direction in some places.
Being entirely honest, for the times that plus size characters are featured on my Patreon, I (personally at least) believe they are better, and produce overall higher quality pieces when they’re options I personally elect to include in the bonus lineup.
While not incredibly common, I feel like there have been several times where nominations for what (to me) come off as particularly random nominations do notably well in the poll, seemingly, primarily just because they’re labeled as plus size characters.
For Genderswap characters, I will be fair, they basically never win/do well on polls, and they’re already particularly uncommon to even appear on the poll, so it seems fair to clean this up alongside the other modifier
Now for some additional clarification, I do want to state
I do still want to include plus size characters in the bonus lineup, but this is entirely based on when I decide that a pic that month will be good for it, and generally, it will continue to be focused on characters ranging from average to extra curvy figures, but not as much fat.
Sketch requests will remain wholly unchanged, and any patrons current or future are allowed to request fat art for their sketches as they have been. I do understand that a larger amount of gold tier patrons primarily request fat art for their sketches, but a fair amount of them only openly engage with my Patreon for these sketches.
Overall, I personally think this decision will create a better focused environment for my Patreon’s content, and I’ll still continue to provide some plus size, Patreon premium content on occasion. However, if any patrons do consider this a deal breaker, I’m posting this at the end of this month to account for potentially canceling your pledge should you desire.
