Upcoming changes to polls (edit#1)

Hey!
I want to change a few things and would like to hear your opinions before actually making the change. I've also temporarily enabled my Tumblr ask where you can let me know anonymously what you think.
Here's a summary!
What's gonna change:
- No more monthly wallpapers after going through the remaining wow-races (draenei, human, pandaren).
- Occasional wallpapers or pics can still happen because ...
- In the future, polls will be for projects. I'll gather some concrete ideas I want to do and you'll decide which one of those I'll do next. The 2$ Patreons will get to vote on all polls.
- I'll re-post a copy of every poll for the 5$ Patreons and combine the results of both polls. So 5$ Patreons will essentially count double by being able to vote twice.
- Polls are going to be irregular cause some projects are going to take longer than others. So there might be months with no polls, especially while I'm catching up on the remaining wallpapers. If that happens, I'll compensate the 2$ guys with a WiP animation from the 5$ tier.
Why tho:
- I can't get a new character ready every month.
- The wallpapers take too much time away from working on animations, which is the thing most people want from me, I think.
- Half of the time, I don't even know what to do for a wallpaper, so I'm wasting time figuring that out.
I think this all sounds resonable, but yah ... wanna know how you guys feel about that.
Here be anonymous Tumblr questions:
- Those changes are fine, however will you still make a Tracer wallpaper when the model is ready?
I like the idea of these wallpapers very much, especially for the Overwatch characters. I'd like to do one for every character and maybe make another one for Mercy, cause hers was kinda lame.
If I do a Tracer wallpaper when the model is ready depends on whether or not I have a good idea for her. But I'm sure I'll make one eventually.

Yeah, don't want to ditch wallpapers entirely. Instead I'll do them whenever I have a good idea for one.
yeah i like it
Ajax
Yes, please more animations instead of wallpapers.
Ingenuity
Sounds reasonable and legit.
i like the sound of all these ideas, i defiantly would rather have animations than wallpapers :)
Instead of wallpaper I would love to see you do pandaren animation :)
Jim
Agree with your thoughts. Would rather see more animations. The occasional wallpaper is nice but not to the exclusion of anims.
Hope Zero
I like very much those changes. No regular wallpapers means faster animation and its much better. But I think that you should do some wallpaperer when you will have some great idea. Like Widowmaker wallpaper I think is the best one. Also the animation WIP for 2$ guys is huge recompense so thanks for this.

Can't really add what others haven't already said and what you haven't said yourself. Wallpapers are nice and fun, but who changes his desktop that often? Animations also have sound, which makes them way longer relevant and enjoyable.
Weird, thought I had replied to this already ... anyway, thanks again for letting me know!
Thanks! Really appreciate you guys taking the time to share your thoughts! It's nice to see my suspicions confirmed that wallpapers are a "nice to have", but not when it comes at the expense of animations.
Thanks!

I agree, the wallpapers are awesome but the animations are more awesome. If you're able to generate a wallpaper from an animation project? Cool, if not? Then it's totally fine if it means well be getting an animation from you. I'll continue to keep supporting either way!

Honestly too me it doesn't matter that much since I have budgeted to continue supporting you at the $10 level so I cant think of what else to add... as long those of us in the higher teirs still get rewards we signed up for and asked for.. That would be my only Concern!
Its reasonable. Honestly, the Wallpapers are great but I'd much rather you have more time and focus on the animations. As for polls? I'm usually pretty indifferent about 'em since you always drop the Mic with everything you do. So your idea is likewise fine in that regard.
