I've been feeling this way for a while now. But i'm kinda burnt out on drawing furries. Not all furries, just a lot of them. Primarily, the ones that I get suggested all the time. It gets harder and harder for me to just try in slop something together for a character that I really don't wanna do. That's why I started doing pov animations. They don't take that much effort on my part, and you guys seem to like them. It's why you guys see me redoThe vote over and over again, or change what this month's theming is. It's because most of the time I look through and I see a bunch of characters that I just don't wanna do anything with.

Now that poses a problem for here. After all, there's an entire tier dedicated to voting, but if I only do what I want to do, then that teir kind of becomes useless. I want to know what you guys think I should do.

( i want to clarify when I say I don't want to do most furries.I don't just mean i wanna do humans. FYI)

I will always vouch for drawing whatever you want. Especially when you're burnt out. I started doing that myself and its helped immensely. I look forward to see whatever you draw.

Terry Taylor

It’s a classic dilemma. On our side of things, I think there’s a fear of suggesting someone not popular enough. Like, I could say, Newton from Ned’s newt and no one would know who tf that is.

Dr. Ham

There's no reason to force yourself to draw what you DON'T wanna do. I think you should draw what you like, and if you're indecisive on what you wanna draw then you do a vote.

KCrow

Yeah, doing a small vote with about three to four characters that you want to draw is seems to be the most popular for this situation.

Conor macleod

I would love to see stuff you wanna do i love when niche characters or unique characters are done like the doey stuff was cute so you should do what interests you I love your art and style

Arbiter of sin animations are still on the menu babee, but yeah do what want, you don't want to burn out too much or you'll never want to draw again. I'll just learn to love the more... unique looking fat dudes more than the furries haha

I agree. That's why I asked if he could place images next to the characters on the poll. It'll give people an idea of what to expect and can help make votes more fair if they find the design interesting.

This isn't really the problem I was having. As for pictures next to the characters, that's not something you can do on patreon. Now I can outsource it, but I found that the numbers are always the numbers are always off when I do that. Like more people voting them, people I have in the voting tier. I'm not really sure what to do about it, but I am willing to try next go around again👍

Honestly; all options are viable.. But; if you're experiencing burnout, you're the best person to decide what the remedy is- and it's great you're getting our opinion, thankyou for including us but I'd recommend this.. Put out votes featuring the characters you want to draw. This could be the something smaller animation/piece... Then have a character of the week/month that you really want to do a piece for that's outside of the votes. E.G. For example (Using furries because it's just a basic example); Asgore; Bowser; Sheriff Nottingham; Sam (Sam & Max) - lets say sam wins the small piece. But your 5th option (the one not in the vote that you've cherrypicked this month) is say; Gazpacho from Chowder. - they get the bigger piece, because it's the one you're more excited for. That way, you preserve your voting structure and the features that people want to support you by, but allows you to... cater the votes in your favour. Of course; maybe every so often you can send out a poll for people to suggest unique characters that may be under-represented in R34. That way you can build up a catalogue of unique characters that you can pick from for your bigger piece of the month. Then, maybe; every 3 months you do a "all votes" type scheme, where any character is viable, then you might start seeing bandit, bowser, asgore etc but in this format you A.) Keep mainstream 'tagged' R34 characters being made, which means your metrics remain pretty healthy (if you care for that) by making 1 every 3 months. :p B.) Space it out so you get less mainstream characters/furries that should provide you with more unique designs to chose from, giving you the luxury of choice. C.) Retain your voting structure and tier benefits, meaning there's no recalculations of tier costs or concerns of people feeling like they're paying too much for a tier that has lost the benefits they may have chosen that tier for. D.) You get a break from feeling like you're doing the same and need to change formats (e.g. changing to POV) to feel like you're shaking things up. Because, you would be. Heck, even if you were to just trial that system for 3/4 months, you'd have the full rotation to see what you liked and what you didn't. Otherwise; best wishes hon. Be kind to yourself. You've done a lot of really hard work, you should be proud of the work you've put out. It's perfectly understandable if at some point, you need to take a break for a week or two. (I don't know if this is your sole income so I won't recommend taking a whole month, plus going from loads to no work makes going back into work harder) Many hugs. -Munch P.S. If you wanna talk about this any more, you can poke me here or wherever. :3c

You should draw what you want to draw, and when you feel like you want to draw furry characters again, go for it. For the time being draw what you want.

Ggiovega

Also i will say i really love the wah you draw greg universe, so if youre in the mood of drawing him getting fucked i would love that <3

Upset Man

IMO you basically have a binary path of drawing what you want and drawing what others want. I think lots of people would be happy with you drawing what you like, though, and to me it makes sense to focus on that because the result will be better. I can understand the incentive, however - maybe there's a way to balance the two, idk. But if you have to pick one, drawing what you want is better. People will still be here for that
