All Pinups or Some Pinups Poll (Patreon)

Content

This affects milestones, so this poll is public so that current and potential patrons can have a say.

I'm wondering if, instead of 100% pinups, there should be the potential to be pretty much anything. This would include pinups, so there would still be pinups, but there could also be things in the polls that wouldn't necessarily be considered pinups.

This could include forms outfits that are fun / interesting, but not overtly suggestive and/or involving skimpy clothing, etc. Granted, all things are subjective, but I hope you get what I mean.

I'm leaving this poll open until next Friday at noon (Eastern US time).

if it gets me more shippy OT3 content, then i'm FOR it. if it doesn't, then i'm AGAINST it. ... now which way do I vote?

Anonymous

I know I stopped pledging at the poll tiers because the pinups didn't interest me at all, so I am defenitely in favor of variety. Why was it like that in the first place?

Carl Fink

I want to vote for "Add a stretch goal to eliminate the pinups in favor of more comics."

coredumperror

I'm entirely down with more options for variety.

Combination of people encouraging me to draw certain things and how common certain requests were.

I would actually consider this if I thought I could keep up with the writing. Maybe someday.

I don't have anything against the variety, it sounds fun. But will it bring complaints if pinups always win in the polls?

DendysCorner

More options, more variety, more chances to perhaps see Lord Tedd again? I'm in!

Pat Connelly

Which ever will keep it interesting for you.

McZed

While I like the pin up content, I certainly wouldn't mind using these to check out what's going on with characters we haven't seen in a while, or just moments that we never got the chance to see.

What exactly is the definition of a "pinup" pic?

Anonymous

Pinups don't interest me in the least, so anything to add some variety gets my full support.

Quoting from dictionary.com: "a large photograph, as of a sexually attractive person, suitable for pinning on a wall."

When I first joined I totally did not realize that all the rewards were supposed to be pin ups. I remember the odd remarks I inspired for the first few weeks.

While I'm personally in favor of the pin ups, i also favor variety, because i want you to draw what interests you so you'll keep drawing and not get burnt out or feel like you are bound to draw things you no longer want to.

Foradain

I like the pin-ups, but I also like the other Stuff. So, variety please!

David Fenger

Definitely a fan of whatever you find most fun.

I'm more wondering if it'll bring complaints if pinups never win in the polls. I like variety, but I also liked the pinups because they seemed like something special, stuff we wouldn't normally get to see in the comic or on the site's sketchbook. This sounds like it'll make it so we have a mix of pinups and sketchbook-like options, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

M.

I voted pinups only and here's why: the pinups feel like something special, and I look forward to them more than I realized. It sounds like the expanded option would lead to more sketchbook-like pics, and while I always liked the sketchbooks, they're not the same. Reading this post, and seeing the way the vote's going, makes me feel like there's going to be less of something I really enjoy, and that makes me sad. I'm not going to stop being a patron or anything like that; I love EGS and I'd support it the same even if there were no rewards at all. And I don't expect what I say here to change anyone's mind. I just took the time to sort out my feelings on this and wanted to have my say.

Chronos Cat

These polls are one of the few ways we can influence what sort of things you draw for us, so it would be great to be able to get more than just pinups. (I've actually been wanting to see more than pinups here from the start - so much so that I occasionally have thrown in suggestions that barely counted as pinups, or were pinup versions of what I really wanted to see.) I am a bit concerned about the pinups and non-pinups competing with one another, though; perhaps there should be separate polls for each?

Maybe if Dan decides that in a given month he's going to split a reward tier between pinuppy and not (eg, one pinuppy double and one sketchbooky one). I think that in the end we'll vote for the idea that is most interesting, not necessarily the most tush-tastic.

egscomics

Given that the mix is the projected winner, this is something I'm going to have to consider. I really don't want there to be that many separate polls. Even if I limit them to one winner with three each, I'd have to think of more options, and determine whether they're pinup or not so pinup. Looking back, however, except in some overt cases, it can be argued that several of the past pinup options weren't specifically, or didn't have to be considered, "pinup" in nature. I foresee a lot of the same options with potentially more sensible outfits ^^;

The way the polls are going, it looks like we're going to find out how well a mix works.

McZed

Sounds good to me. The V5ed Grace "putting on a show for Tedd" pin up comes to mind.

Anonymous

Woooo ace people represent

OftenSane

I do really, really like the pinups, but I also really want Dan to have the freedom to do something if there's an idea that sounds really interesting or fun. Plus, to be honest, there's only so many ways you can put absurdly large breasts on a person and still have it interesting, and anything that encourages more creativity over more Fv5 is probably a good thing.

Harmony Petersen

Reading through comments, the "stuff besides pinups" is pretty vague. I'm voting in the hopes that it means Dan having more creative leeway, and less we'll get sketches instead of pinups. I'm hoping more "EGS main, EGS NP, EGS Patreon" where we get a special 3rd comic series.

Robert Weldon

I am in favour of variety. I think Dan should do whatever interests him.

Princess Columbia

I agree with Joshua Peterson. This was a vague enough question I have no foggy clue what the question actually is. Broken down as I understand it in it's simplest form: "Do you want stuff, or stuff with stuff?"

egscomics

Pinups all have suggestive content of some sort, be it context, form, outfits, etc. non-pinup could just be Jeremy doing something particularly neat (an extreme example, but I hope it clarifies things)

KiTA
>>5189155

I will admit, one of the suggestions I backed out of suggesting this month was "The exact moment Tedd fell in love with Grace" as it wasn't pin-uppy... But I'm still on the Pin-ups side of the debate.

Well the fact we give real money to see what you draw implies a certain amount of trust. I would rathe see things you are enjoying and wanting to draw if something comes to you. your stuffs been good so far.

Any non-pinup stuff could also be posted in the sketchbook section as well instead of the pinup tumblr.

Harmony Petersen

Ohhh, so by pinups, vs non-Pinups, you don't mean "3x6 high quality glossy of the character that can be appreciated" vs "Anything from random doodle I did on a napkin to a signed copy of the Declaration of the Independence for the new world country of Shive of which you are now all citizens" but "Sexy centerfold" vs "Not-neccesarrily-sexy but still a centerfold"?

Daryl Sawyer

I am very much down with mixing it up. I like the sexy stuff (actually, I *really* like the sexy stuff), but I also like very cool stuff, such as characters playing other characters, things like that.
