More Sheena? Or less Sheena?

Further proof that all you Patrons are greatly influencing my creative direction (which is great for me since I'm prone to choice paralysis)

I notice there tends to be a LOT of love towards my hyena gal, Sheena. If nothing else, in the form of likes.

I'm curious now, if that's content you want to see expanded on?

I'm also heavily interested in growing the world of my skunk, Socks, and their friends, Bumpy, Dumpling, and Ribbon. Or at least, better showing 'what they are all about'.

I'll still be drawing other things along the way too, but I have plans.

I HAVE ALSO!!!! Considered putting Sheena "somewhere else" like in her own zone or something because Sheena content which is more 'rude and crude' in nature does not mesh AT ALL with the deeper emotional world of Socks that will ALWAYS BE HERE.

Like maybe give Sheena her own smaller Patreon OR Subscribestar where the 'naughtier' stuff can stay, while this Patreon can keep it's 'family friendly' appeal.

I'll let you know if I make any major decisions of course! The odds of me making a new Patreon thing JUST for Sheena is SUPER LOW but I wanted to get some opinions on it.

Thoughts?

Thank you for giving me your thoughts! It's definitely something to consider for sure.

I'd love to see more Socks and the like they suit your colorful cute theme really well! I wouldn't mind Sheena having her own section for you to explore and try different stuff out in though, would be a good way to balance it :3

Vulpis

That's super kind of you!! We'll definitely see what happens. The future has many many options!!

Melangetic

Going to sound indecisive but I love seeing Sheena just as much as Socks & Friends! I completely understand if you decide to give Sheena her own zone to keep content in the appropriate category - will happily support whatever you decide to do. =)

I totally get that! Like, Sheena was one of my first experiences of your art, and I would certainly enjoy seeing more, but I do understand that patreon can make it challenging Personally, I wouldn't see anything wrong with having a second outlet to explore those themes when you wanted to ~

HEY thank you so much!!!~

Melangetic

Thanks so much for your input! Yea, there's some tidbits of Sheena that are GREAT for exploring here(like drawing Sheena back when she was a grumpy child) But some of the themes that fit her hyena nature(forcedfem and general lewdity) aren't fantastic for a more 'cute' merch-based kind of Patreon x.x

Melangetic

I like your OCs :3

I personally have a lot of love for both Socks and Sheena - and they are definitely always great to see! I think that, if you feel you can't explore it as much as you'd like to, there would never be anything wrong with making a second Patreon to allow yourself to do that ~

Kinda? I do intend to explore both, but this helps me figure out who gets explored first. In the end, my 'whims' tend to rule all so if I'm vibing with one over the other, I'll do that. Besides that, Socks is always going to be around, especially with those monthly cards!

Melangetic

Yea, I feel like while the CORE of Sheena isn't explicitly NSFW, the themes that come with her are definitely adult in nature, and the Patreon limits her exploration a little.

Melangetic

The thing I hate most about Socks and Sheena is that more attention to one, means less attention to the other...

Bun Bunn

Oh yea, I'm actually pretty thrilled there's so much love for my guys. I super appreciate the kind folks who see my OC's and go "yea, more of THAT!" it's so special.... Though for some reason I'm super shy about expressing it openly.

Melangetic

Sheena is definitely a lot of fun! I love the vibes that your Patreon has, with the mix of characters and themes. If you want to do more adult oriented stuff with Sheena a new Patreon or subscribestar that is focused on that could be reasonable! Especially if you included other more NSFW things that you make. Not sure, honestly.

Ash Derg

I love all your stuff! But seeing people love your OCs so much is really awesome! Hopefully this poll will give some answers.

CautionCat

Oh, I did not know that about Patreon. I can understand why it creates an issue then.

Something like that!

Melangetic

The rough part about that, is if I make any NSFW the whole Patreon has to be NSFW even if it's just one tier. x.x;

Melangetic

I pretty much enjoy all content. Maybe you could consider adding another tier that is just the more adult and potentially NSFW content. I've seen another creator do it where two tiers are the same price, but one just includes NSFW postings.

I'm a sucker for little slice of life one-offs, if that's something you're interested in!
