New Poll + Details
🕑 Added 2019-03-15 22:06:34 +0000 UTCAlright, last poll gave me some insight on what I could do for the next and I will change things up a bit this time around.
If you don't like reading: Don't feel bad and go for the vote.
Way to much text again and the only real "important" thing is the info about the last 3 vote options, which you only need if you want to vote for one.
So for everyone not reading, have a nice weekend and fun voting. :D
Edit: So, for some reason Sneasel got duplicated but I can't remove the second one it seems. Votes on both of them will count and I will simply remove double votes from the same person when establishing the poll winner at the end.
Only voting for the one that already has votes would make it easier though. xD
A idea for this is working off the highest votet Pokemon (top 3?) and doing another vote for which one of them to animate after that .
I don't know how I'll exactly do it in the end, but we'll see when the time comes.
That also means that I'm not going to add any new Pokemon to the list for a while since I want to work all of them off for now. I'll still added some of the Pokemon that got asked for but definitely not all since the list is big enough as it is right now..
Still tell me if you would like to see something that isn't in the list though, I could always have the urge to suddenly draw it. xD
The Pokemon from last poll will get additional points at the end of the vote, so if you wanted something from last time chances are higher for it to get picked this time around.
You're also free to vote as many things as you want this time around, but depending on how well that goes it might be a one time thing.
Points from last time that will get added at the end of the vote:
Braixen: 14
Lopunny: 10
Zeraora: 8
Gardevoir: 6
Mienshao: 5
Lastly some explanation for the last 3 choices:
Lucario Animation Loops:
Since this seemed to be something you would like I'm adding the option to make animation loops from the unfinished Holiday Lucario H-Animations.
Since they're already worked on I would probably also have time to do some of the other Pokemonafter that . Would be boring to have nothing new after all.
Remake Dream Molder Demo:
The thing I get asked the most is the Dream Molder Demo for *insert random OS*or in *insert random language* .
My old hard-/software limitations didn't make this possible at the time...
BUT, I would be able to remake the Demo with the new engine which should enable me to convert it to different OS than before. (Android, IOS, Mac and so on...)
Remaking the Dream Molder Demo would also mean I could work and use the new characters and backgrounds that I'm going to use in the full version.
This would also promote progress for the full version since I'm able to finish the grafics and they would be ready to use later on.
Lastly I could upload animation loops of all the H-Scenes of the demo to Patreon since I would need to rework them for the new engine anyway.
So all in all this would give you high quality animation loops, a replayable demo and progress on the full game.
Keep focus on Dream Molder:
I plannend on doing these Polls and random animations to get my name out more, have some change from the repetitive work, as practice and to enable you to support me since I switched to per post instead of monthly payment.
However, the time I have to work on animations is still limited and I'm still taking a long time to draw some of the stuff, so doing animations would also mean less progress on Dream Molder...
Voting for Dream Molder focus would show me that you're supporting the game at the moment though and I could simply keep working on the game and upload a updated Character Sketch Demo as charged post instead of animation/artwork.
(The updated version would probably add the written h-scenes+h-sketches, some new backgrounds I'm putting together atm, additional background sounds and bugfixes.)
I would still work on the random artworks when I need a break from Dream Molder inbetween, but main focus would be definitely updating the demo.
Afterword:
I really need to learn how to keep things short. :>
Like always let me know if you have a question or think we could do something different.
I will give this poll a bit more time than the last to give me some extra time for the character sketch demo release.
Got somewhat stuck and had hardware problems again...
It should be fixed for now though and there's not "too" much to be done anymore.
But that's pretty much it for now!
Have a nice weekend everyone and I'll let you know if anything changes!

You were asking for recommendations for other pokemon then I'd say absol is a good bet or even goodra if you want to try something different. But focusing on one thing like dream molder does seem like a safe bet

While I definitely feel you should prioritize Dream Molder, I don't think it is a bad idea to break up your time to do other things as well. Variety in life can help keep the creative flow going. Provided you aren't stretched too thin anyway. You do great work, and you're constantly working to improve your skills, and I honestly find that awesome.
i like it! but if you decide not to use it. i think id like too see it in a more sfw cute for fun drawing. in case you ever feel like it.
Side B
My vote goes for keeping the work on Dream Molder and finishing the Lucario animation anytime you feel like you need a break from Dream Molder to keep you motivated. Also, since you did say we could share our recommendations for any Pokémon not in the list for anything in the future, may as well mention Pokémon I would love to see, only if you feel like it someday. Midnight Lycanroc, Greninja & Quilava.
Side B
I am not exactly in favor of releasing spoiler content from Dream Molder to satisfy the Braixen votes (should she win), but since you already decided to redo all the content of the demo, maybe using those scenes instead would be a good compromise. It's something new without spoiling something we have not seen before.
Side B
What a cutie. (Referring to the provided picture) On one hand, to be able to make multiple characters of the same species look unique is a good thing to learn, but considering how much time and effort you put to draw Braixen over and over again for all the sketches required for Dream Molder, I don’t think drawing Braixen on the side as well would not help you not feeling burned over time. Ultimately, you know more about yourself than I do, but I do care about an artist's well being more than what they produce.

Personally I would be fine with it as it would save time and means you are both working on Dream Molder and providing additional content. Perhaps you could change up the background and loops slightly for the standalone image so they are not so similar? The dialogue would be missing anyway, which is a huge part of the H-scenes.

I really don't mind working on finishing the Lucario animations. I think the support I get right now is enough to keep working on the game and grow as an artist. So if it's what most people would like to see I would gladly finish it. I'm surprised (I already was last time) that Braixen still gets so many votes in the first place. D: I actually already started on some sketching in a different style so it doesn't look too much like Dream Molder/Fia. I'm unsure if I'm gonna use it though. <a href="https://i.imgur.com/MxjEagY.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://i.imgur.com/MxjEagY.jpg</a> But if it has so many votes people might want to see the "old" style?

Doing one of the animations for Dream Molder as Braixen artwork would actually be a pretty good idea. However, it might be a spoiler for one or the other to see the H-Scene before the actual game...

I think that Dream Molder should be the focus, it’s the reason we are here after all, but that ultimately you should choose what you want to do. I do enjoy seeing other Pokemon from you and as you said they are good practice. Personally I would like to see the Lucario animations finished, it would be a shame for the work you’ve already put into them to go to waste. Braixen seems to be ahead in the poll at the moment, perhaps you could release one of the H-scene animations from Dream Molder early instead of working on a standalone image? As I said before, you do what you want to do, keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to the sketch demo.
it’s been eating at me a bit. you are using the voted animations to test some ideas and improve on your art skills. So Having you work on old stuff kind of ruins that whole idea. So I don’t think I want to vote on old projects after considering that. But it seems like Braixen will win with its carry over votes. It will be interesting to see how much braixens style would change and might be a good opportunity to test some ideas for dream molder and Fias appearance. And the demo remake is a fantastic idea the way you described it and I see some potential in using it to get some more support. you brought up points that make it tough to vote for the other pokes over the the dream molder related stuff.
