update + change to bonus pics format!
Added 2017-06-15 11:29:47 +0000 UTChello, so I'm finishing up syndra and katarina, they'll be on this week's release ( FINALLY D: ). I have few changes in mind:
1) soon I'll start doing private streams on picarto, you guys will get the link with "key" to them, I just feel like open streams don't really add anything valuable and this will give me more comfort in streaming patreon-only content (I'll probably add it to $5+ pledge)
2) No more bonus selfies! - don't get me wrong, there will be one bonus picture each week with polls and characters, but they will be more relaxed, general pics than strictly selfies, there's still a lot to do in A-Z project and I don't want to burn out on selfie idea by doing ONLY this.
I might come back to bonus pictures being selfies, but just want to freshen up my themes.
3) I'm thinking about expanding to animation, visual novel or comics - of course I'll always do what 'm doing, but I feel like after we're done with all the lol ladies selfies we should step up the game and start doing some more interactive stuff (: cause why not?
let me know what you think in comments below, especially if you don't like any of these ideas - nothing is set in stone and I'm open for discussion :)
I'll get to streaming in a moment (most likely a multistream!) here: https://picarto.tv/radsquid

Also to add to my prior comment sorry for saying so much, an idea for your first comic could be two league characters sexting or using tinder with the girl characters sending the selfies you drew (kind of like a memorial to the A-Z collection) which then turns into them hooking up.

2017-06-15 13:54:30 +0000 UTCHonestly I feel like all of this is great ideas. WARNING LONG POST! When I found out that you streamed the artwork getting done I felt a bit cheated since non-patreons could simply just screen shot the work so I feel having a key would be much better and make the $5 tier a bit better. I am a bit saddened by the no more bonuses HOWEVER I realize this doesn't mean that you wont do that content anymore you will just prioritize getting the general selfies from A-Z first done which is a good idea. I suggest once the A-Z selfies are done doing a once a week bonus selfie that is based off of the $5 tier polls which could have a rotating theme for month (For example, January is league selfies, February is overwatch, March is something else). You could have the $10 tier decide what the theme is for each month and you could repeat themes if there isn't enough to draw from (Like league selfies January, June and December and Overwatch March, July and October) this way you have a good blend of different content while still keeping the old content that people like. If you feel like this is too much you could make it 1 selfie every 2 weeks making the general load 2 selfies a month rather than 4. As for the comics and animations I am SUPER HYPED for that. Doing that I feel could make the $10 tier much better in that you could have polls for them to decide what the animations and comics would be about. As for when you do them you could do 1 animation every 2 months (not sure how long these typically take so I leave that up to you) and 1 comic every 6 months to a year (same not sure how long these take, probably depends on the comic). However doing it this way your total work load would be 4 or 2 selfies every month, 1 animation every 2 months and 1 comic every 6 months or 1 comic every year so for the year it would be 48 or 24 selfies total, 6 animations (assuming they vary in length some being more simple than others) and 1 or 2 comics a year. I mean your original work schedule had you doing at least 12 selfies every month (3 selfies every week) for a total of 144 selfies for the year (current work schedule has you doing 8 selfies a month for a total of 96 selfies for the year) so by doing it this way it segregates the time you would be spending on selfies (after the A-Z collection is done) toward other things like the animations and comics. These are just my ideas for what you do but overall I am really happy with the way you are going with this and so long as you stay true what you promise and keep to your time schedule I am sure you will get more people to follow you and get your current followers to pledge more.
