Progress Report and Holiday Wallpaper(s) Poll, 11/12 - 20
Added 2020-12-11 14:27:50 +0000 UTC
Fridays are for dropping teasers of upcoming projects and polling your community for future work while telling them what you've been up to lately. So let's do exactly that!
Hello everyone and welcome to yet another in the line of progress reports. First off, this week has been what is colloquially referred to up here as "hell", but while I have been scrambling for free time I have also managed to scrape together some stuff to report on. 3K/5K seems unlikely to release for this Monday, but will definitely be finished up this month before the holidays, by my time estimates - and that's with me being my most pessimistic - barring me catching covid, we'll have this damn thing finished up before the 24:th. It is thus highly in the works, and is taking priority over other projects even though I will occasionally go and work on them as well in order to not lose motivation. The project teased above is one such project.
Everything is, as they say, underway.
Now, onto polling!
We have 3 Wednesdays coming up before the end of the year, and I'd thus like to have 3 community determined wallpapers to create, with a holiday theme. I was considering omitting certain extremely popular characters for the poll in order to give all the others a chance, but in all honesty, they are popular for a reason, and thus it'll just have to be a big old melee between all of them. I will however only include models that I think could feasibly make for good wallpapers, owing to the model quality etc, and will substitute SFM for Blender wherever that is applicable.
In other words, you people decide the characters, and I try my best to make it work. Note that I allow for multiple answers so vote for as many as you like! I will be mixing answers up so as to not have too much bias in terms of the order of the poll, so make sure to find your favorites!
As I've reached max amount of poll options, I have been forced to include some characters with others, as to fit more. I've tried doing this in a balanced way, judging from previous poll results, that I hope won't skew the poll too badly in anyone's favor.
Hopefully I've struck a balance. I prefer a slightly uneven poll over excluding characters that people love. Those I have judged strongest get to stand on their own :)
So: which top 3 poll options should get visits from Santa's Little Helpers?

unworkable* models. Damn it.

2020-12-14 22:36:03 +0000 UTCEasy there fellas. There's sense to both positions of wanting the less popular ladies to be given a chance, as well as vouching for the popular ladies since, hey, they're popular for a reason. The latter weighs heavily for polls pertaining to holiday themed matters, which is why I tend to not exclude characters during those. Conversely, the upcoming poll for the next large SFM project work will omit every character that has had their time in the limelight before, and which I deem has a workable model to make the content with. And to be fair Simon I do enjoy thinking of new scenarios to see big ass blue tiddies bounce around :)

2020-12-14 22:34:53 +0000 UTC@J, the term "I know you mean well" and questioning my understanding are patronising in their very nature. I'm not upset in the slightest, it's not about people liking different things to me, I'm trying to get everyone's likes and preferences included rather than just fulfilling those of specific group every time. I want to let the artist be creative, surely giving him a smaller universe to work only stifles this, I would think giving him different characters and environments to work all the time would let his creativity run free far more than thinking of new scenarios to see some big ass blue tiddies bouncing around!

2020-12-12 22:20:21 +0000 UTC@Simon, I wasn't "patronising" you, I approached the conversation quite civilly. There's no point in getting upset about people not enjoying the same things. Just relax, let the artist be creative, and enjoy the kinky stuff as it comes.

2020-12-12 02:17:39 +0000 UTCdaz30, this is just wallpapers though, and she'll get 1 out of the 3 I plan on making from this poll feedback from being in the top 3 should these results persist. If you're referring to the teaser, it's part of the same we saw Friday last week, so it's not just her :)

2020-12-11 23:50:34 +0000 UTCI like Liara but another special about her? I think that other girls should be given the opportunity to vary something

2020-12-11 23:19:01 +0000 UTCChromium, I've considered this as well. Future polls might see more of a focus on "universe" votes (such as "Warcraft Universe" being an option) as opposed to specific character ones, as to grant more variation over time since any omissions there would function very decisively. We'll see what the future holds, but for this Holiday wallpaper poll, I didn't want to exclude anyone, since we're saying goodbye to 2020 :)

2020-12-11 23:12:32 +0000 UTCThis is actually my aim, Simon. I try to mix it up as good as can be, though with the time frame between projects it can be difficult to gauge whether a character's had their time in the limelight recently enough or not :) In fact, the plan is for the next large community-determined SFM project poll, if I go down that route, is to omit every character that previously have been a center piece or involved in a large project before, as to gauge what the community would like next. I make enough within the "popular" universes on my own, by my own volition, to make this request perfectly reasonable - so don't worry, most of the ladies we feature here will, eventually, have their time in the sun :)

2020-12-11 23:07:55 +0000 UTCA thing you could do, especially if you're having multiple poll options win, is instead only select one winning poll option from each series, so there's more general variety.

2020-12-11 21:51:11 +0000 UTCDon't patronise me J! I'm fully aware why we're all here, I just think it's sad that nearly all big projects result in the same outcome. Not everyone here wants this and giving them some variety may be nice, and actually it probably gets dull animating the same thing over and over again too
2020-12-11 21:45:26 +0000 UTCI know you mean well, Simon but I think you're misunderstanding why most of us are here. There's a reason why certain characters or game settings/world milieus win by landslides...

2020-12-11 21:35:10 +0000 UTCMiranda Lawson all the way. I didn’t even think twice before picking her as my #1.

2020-12-11 20:22:52 +0000 UTCTo be fair there was a bit of a joke there, but maybe if characters are in a project they can't be in one for one, maybe two projects.
2020-12-11 18:55:46 +0000 UTCNext poll in terms of major SFM projects will have some limitations on characters, as to give other characters a decent shot.
