BOO! Sorry, I'm legally obligated to spook you at least once during October. Now that that's out of the way... 

Welcome back to another DREADFUL month at Lewdlemage Manor.... *bats fly out*

There's a few orders of business! Thinking about doing a small sketch stream for BIG FISH folks at some point, what days/times would work best for you all? 

Also! And this is slightly more important, regarding the animation polls, I'm considering removing the topic poll! The last one where we vote on whether the animation will be preg/stuffing/vore.  Instead I would pick the topic myself! This month will be the same whether or not I decide to go down this route, but I wanted to bring it up now to give us time to discuss!

I have a few reasons for this, first is that I worry the topic poll results in the same stuff winning over and over again! I prefer to keep a bit of a balance, partly to keep things interesting for myself and also because I know some folks might be here for certain things! Secondly, since it's an extra day or so of voting, I have to wait that extra time before I can start animating, whereas if I chose myself I could start immediately! Furthermore sometimes I'll have an interesting idea for the animation, but I'll have to change it because of the poll! Which is fine usually, but I think that it'd result in better stuff overall if when I have a really good vore idea for a character I can just run with it, or a really good preg idea etc. 

Let me know what you all think about this! Regardless, this month will be the same as usual like I mentioned earlier! 

Schedule-wise this week I'm gonna just try and grind out a lot of sketches! I'm currently working on that Panty pic so hopefully I can finish that soon! And the submissions box will go up in just a few minutes! 

Thanks again for all your support!! *turns into a bat and flies away*

Personally I think that’s a great idea

Brosepherous

Agreed, removing the topic poll saves on time and you've got enough creative talent to decide the trajectory of a drawing yourself. Still good that you went and asked though. Thanks!

I’m 💯% on board with removing the topic poll

Hugh Mungus

I think most of us try to vote for the topic that makes sense with the character anyways, so I have no problem with you removing it

To answer the stream question, I'd prefer sometime in the evening on a weekend. Oh, and I'm on Central time. As for the topic question, I can see the benefit of removing it, but at the same time I still like having all of us patrons choosing the topic. Hmm...I guess we can try removing it for a while and see how it goes. Maybe do 1 or 2 months and see how we are all feeling about it. Edit: I'd also like to suggest maybe cutting back on how much time people have to suggest and vote for a character. From what I've noticed, most suggestions and votes come well within 24 hours if not within 12. Plus, most of the suggested characters get next to no votes anyway.

I do like the idea of you picking the topic. Artist's inspiration keeps it fresh.

Letting you pic the topic works better than having us pick it so to do that. As for the stream question I think the majority of people are going to want to go weekends and afternoons but not all of us, me included, have freedom on the weekends since my weekend is in Wednesday and Thursday and I work both of my jobs all day on Sat and Sun. You could go for a couple of streams a month one where most of the weekend folks can come and maybe if there's enough people, one another day during early in the day in the middle of the week or so. That's just my two cents, and my work schedule is clear Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in the mornings until 5 and all night after 5 on Wednesday and Thursday. I work all other times

I feel the same. Every month, I have the guilty pleasure of finding and voting for the best character of the pool and I like when we try together to vote for the topic that makes the most sense for the chosen characters : For example, the last time, everybody was OK to associate Mamako Oosuki with the "pregnant" topic. In addition, I would have been sad if Gardevoir had not been associated with "Vore" topic. However, keep you motivated Lewdlemage and give you more time for drawing is important too. So, in conclusion, Trying to removing it for 1 or 2 months and see how it goes will be, in my opinion, the best idea.

I think this change would make everything go smoother. It would mitigate one of the polls, you could get started sooner, it seems good. And, are you going to upload your stream to the YT channel? I have a poor history of catching streams, whether I'm at work, or just pissing around at home, lol

Oh, by the way : I'm on Central European Time (CET ; Paris Time) Right now, it's 6 : 30 PM in my country, so, i like this time slot for a stream. I prefer Week End please.

Winter Witch

Totally in favor of you picking the topic. Never really thought about it before, but all of your cited reasons make sense. Go for it!

LagomorphaX3

Friday or Saturday streams would be fantastic. You've been exceptionally on point with topics so the removal of the voting part isn't too much of a loss. Like you said, you gotta keep things balanced... as all things should be.

2021-07-10 21:22:22 In my case, I'm on Central European Time (I live in France). For the stream, I'm really afraid to miss it : So, Lewdlemage, it's possible for THE BIG FISH to send you by private message what kind of sketch we would like to see ? Because this will not be easy with the jet lag.... Finally, if I understand well, The patreons vote & choose 3 characters and you decide the topics (vore/stuffing/pregnancy) of each characters, right ? What if, once the 3 characters are chosen, you told us what would be the best combination for you, then we could tell you if we agree or if we have other ideas ? In this manner, you keep balance and your creativity and with that, we can still influence you. So what do you think about it LEWDLEMAGE ?

I kinda like this. Worm presents us with their ideas for the winners and we decide which ones we want to see.

lewdlemage

I understand where you’re getting this idea, but the problem with this is it doesn’t solve any of the issues I mentioned, all it does is create more work? I’d have to first come up with 3 ideas, and then I’d have to present them all to you to presumably vote on anyway. So I don’t save any time, and if you disagree with what’s chosen what then? Would we just do the topic poll anyway? I appreciate the idea but I’d rather just pick one or other, either I choose or you all choose the topic!

lewdlemage

I understand your suggestion at cutting back time, but I really prefer to keep it at 24 hours because I don’t want to discriminate against any time zones or work schedules! Even if /most/ of the votes come in 12 hours, it’d really suck for someone to see they’ve missed an entire poll just because they weren’t actively checking my page every minute lol

CAMEL

What about this : 1) The Patreons suggest their characters with pictures and explain why they chose this one. Ex: "I choose Gardevoir, because it will be funny if she can use the "swallow" attack against a wild pokemon!" 2) Patreons choose 3 characters by vote; they could share their ideas and explain why they are voting for this one Ex: "All my votes on Panty because I want to see her pregnant! " 3) Lewdlemage chooses and announces the subjects of each character. Ex: Panty is one of the 3 winners but Lewdlemage prefers to draw her with the subject "Stuff" rather than "pregnancy" What do you think of that guys?

Dinobee

Not too sure about that last bit there. "Hey, I know you suggested this character for a specific reason, but I would prefer to do something else instead so that's what will be drawn." On paper, I'm liking your ideas, but I can see it becoming complicated in practice. I think I'm gonna have to agree with Worm on this one. Best to stick with either them choosing or us choosing.

Dinobee

Fair enough. I was just brainstorming on how else we can get the animation process started sooner.

CAMEL

Dinobee91: Otherwise, I think about this: Lewdlemage tells us what he wants to draw (what subject between vore / pregnancy / stuffing he wants or ideas he wants to draw) and THEN, Patreons suggests and votes for some characters (depending on Lewdlemage's artistic mood)

MrMetroid

my only question is if the smauggie alt-end animation's still in the works XD

lewdlemage

Still planning on it yea! Just got sidetracked with other work but I’ll see when I can fit it in!
